Li once predicted that "after three generations in the Tang Dynasty, women would be ruled by". Why does Wu Zetian still live in Li Shiming and Li Zhi?

Wu Zetian can become the ultimate winner not only because of the charm of her personal behavior, but also because of her thorough understanding and comprehension ability, and because she is at the center of political struggle, which leads to the whole body's containment. The main reason why she was finally made queen by Li Zhi was that Li Zhi wanted to limit the relative power of Sun Chang Wuji and consolidate his imperial status by this means.

Wu Zetian, who entered the palace for the first time, was able to leave a deep impression on Li Shimin's heart, on the one hand, because of her appearance, and on the other hand, because of her insight into people's hearts. At that time, Li Shimin had entered the final stage of his life. At this time, he is sensitive and fragile. The appearance of Wu Zetian filled his inner fear of death well, which can be seen from many historical records. Li Shimin has begun to form psychological dependence on Wu Zetian, which is why she still hasn't executed her completely, and only relegated her to the palace when she knew that she was an ominous person.

Wu Zetian's re-entry into the palace actually left a foreshadowing before Li Shimin was dying. At that time, although Li Zhi was the reigning prince, his personal authority was not deep. A large number of veteran ministers who fought side by side with their father in the imperial court turned a blind eye to themselves, which led to Li Zhi's inner resistance to Li Shimin, but he was weak by nature and could not express such feelings. So when Wu Zetian offered him an olive branch, he accepted it without hesitation.

The reappearance of Wu Zetian, on the one hand, is Li Zhi's gratitude to her, on the other hand, is also to show her little resistance to her father. After Li Shimin's death, the forces headed by Sun Chang Wuji began to gain the upper hand in the imperial court. Li Zhi felt that his authority had been challenged, and Wu Zetian had to be the queen at the expense of violating etiquette, just to maintain his majesty as an emperor. But he didn't expect that this seemingly fragile woman became the new pioneer of the Li Dynasty.
