Why is there no word in the tomb of Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in China?

Ganling without words is 7.53m high, 2. 1m wide and 1.49m thick.

Located 6 kilometers north of Ganxian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, it is the burial tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. In front of the mausoleum, two huge stone tablets stand side by side, the west side is called "sacred tablet" and the east side is wordless tablet. The memorial tablet is a monument erected by Wu Zetian to praise Song Gaozong and Li Zhi. There are more than five thousand words on it, saying that it was written by Wu Zetian herself. It was painted black and filled with gold powder. On the east side is Wu Zetian's tablet without words, which is also named after it.

[Zhao] Wu Zetian was born in Wenshui, Bingzhou (now Wenshui, Shaanxi). Politicians from Tang Dynasty to Dongwu, the founding emperor of Dongwu was also the only female emperor in China history. Among them, the oldest (67 years old) and longest-lived emperor is 82 years old.

Wu Zetian is the second daughter of Wu Shihuo, the secretariat of Jingzhou, and Emperor Taizong lives in Luoyang Palace. I heard that 14-year-old Wu Zetian was outstanding in beauty, so I called her into the palace, making her a talent of five talents and being named "Wu Mei". After Li Shiming's death, Emperor Taizong was named "Zhao Yi" by Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong. After six years of struggle for power in the harem, after Emperor Taizong "abolished the king", Wu Zetian officially became the queen. In the first year of Shangyuan, he added "Tianhou", and together with Tang Gaozong, he was called "Two Saints" and participated in the discussion of state affairs. After the death of Emperor Gaozong, Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong became her puppet emperors under the arrangement of Wu Zetian, who later abolished them.

In the first year of God-given, Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, changed his title to Zhou, made Luoyang his capital and established Wu Zhou. After he ascended the throne, he single-handedly killed the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty and Li's opponents, and "cruel official politics" rose. Attach importance to agriculture and mulberry, develop production, maintain the system of equal land, and curb mergers. Carry out the imperial examination, reform official management and attach importance to talent selection. In his later years, he built "Hall of Fame" and "Xanadu" because he believed in Buddhism, made big statues and cast "Shu Tian" and "Kyushu Ding"! It wastes people's money and causes people's pain.

Later, Zhang Jian launched the Dragon Coup, also known as the Dragon Revolution and the Five Kings Coup. In the first year of Shenlong, Prince Li Xian, Prime Minister Zhang Jian, Cui Xuanyong and other ministers mutinied in Wei Zi, forcing Wu Zetian to abdicate, and the Tang Dynasty was restored. After the death of Wu Zetian, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, who was in charge of Ganling, buried his mother Wu Zetian and his father Gao Zong together.

Summary: Personally, I think Wu Zetian can enter the same cave with Tang Gaozong Li Zhi after her death. This may be her last request, even a request. As a mother, she asked Li Xian to let her and Li Zhi enter the same cave in Ganling.

(1) robbed the Li family for more than ten years, during which many people were killed. She is guilty. As long as you can enter Ganling after death, at least the descendants of the Li family can't do anything to her, and you won't be punished by the descendants of the Li family, let alone flogged! (2) On behalf of Li Xian; No matter what she used to be, she is also her own mother, and it is natural and good to live in a cave with her father.

Wu Zetian is the Li family; He is a traitor and usurper, which has caused great shame to the Li family for many years and even almost destroyed his family, but this person is also his mother. How to erect a monument to her! This kind of horror, no one can write clearly. There are many things that can't be written on it, whether it is writing about her "praising the Lord" or "seizing power and usurping the throne" or "tiger poison doesn't eat children" Why don't you forget it? Right and wrong, merits and demerits, is the self-evaluation of officials and future generations, so I set up a wordless monument for her.
