Since human beings entered the patriarchal society, men gradually grasped the dominance of society, and it was not until modern times that the status of women has made great progress. Before that, whether it was a very powerful empress or an empress dowager with the power to oversee the country, it was only an extension of imperial power and could not become the controller of imperial power.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, such as Wu Zetian in the early Tang Dynasty, who once seized the throne and became a generation of empresses. However, in the long history of feudal dynasties, this is only one example. In fact, similar to China, the rest of the world is generally unfriendly to women, and few people can hold the supreme power of the dynasty stably.
If you want to solve the criticism of the people and firmly rule by yourself, you need this woman to perform superb ruling skills. Otherwise, ordinary people, accustomed to male rulers, will sooner or later pose a threat to female rulers. Generally speaking, women who seize the highest power can recognize this point and will try to eliminate this hidden danger in advance.
In fact, the empresses who can sit on the throne of God have been in the core of the supreme rule for decades, and they have long been competent for dynastic governance and control of the courtiers. However, it is still very difficult to gain the support of the masses and the support of the people.
Before that, they seemed to be only one step away from the supreme power, almost at their fingertips. However, this step was so difficult that it blocked most of the women. It should be known that in the history of China, there is no shortage of capable empresses, empresses, and even some people who were responsible for supervising the country when the emperor was young.
However, in the end, only Wu Zetian was able to obtain the title of empress. The reason for this, in addition to everyone's respect for power, makes them more inclined to male emperors, is also related to the fact that women have no way to solve the yo-yo crowd.
Everyone has long been accustomed to male emperors, and the patriarchal and family world have strengthened this cognition. In addition, for ancient human society, the reason why everyone was willing to pay taxes to the dynasty was also because the emperor was able to protect everyone from foreign enemies.
Faced with a possible foreign conquest, ordinary people will inevitably want the ruling center to lead by example and have great power. As the center of dynastic rule, the emperor is synonymous with power. This idea is so deeply ingrained that if it is not solved, it will be difficult for the female ruler to go further and become the emperor of the dynasty.
To reverse the perception that women in power need to be persuasive, they fall into a strange circle similar to "chicken first, egg first".
Of course, there are also lucky ones, during the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian had jointly ruled the Tang Dynasty with Tang Gaozong before officially ascending the throne, and his performance was not inferior to Tang Gaozong. This was recognized by everyone, from the death of Emperor Gaozong of Tang to the time when Wu Zetian was called emperor, the Qunchen did not desperately stop it, otherwise, even if Wu Zetian was called emperor, it would be difficult to stabilize his rule.
In addition to external conditions, how female rulers grasp the main points and resolve the doubts of the masses in advance is also an indispensable ability requirement. Without this ability, even if you forcibly ascend to the throne of God, it will be difficult to rule steadily. For those who hold great power, stability in the world is their wish.
If you cause turmoil in the world because of yourself, it is better not to pursue this name.
