Wu Zetian learned a painful lesson before she seized power and usurped the throne. Why did Queen Wei go to court?

After experiencing the painful lesson of Wu Zetian's usurpation, Li Xian made Wei Ruyun listen to the government for two main reasons. First, because of his feelings with Wei Ruyun, and second, because he was not strong enough at that time, he wanted to cultivate his confidant, and Wei Ruyun was just the best choice. Wei Ruyun not only accompanied Li Xian during his abandonment and exile, but also encouraged him every time, so Li Xian never forgot his kindness to Wei Ruyun.

Although Li Xian had already taken the position of king at that time, his power was actually not much, but he was only a king in name only, and there was no confidant among his many courtiers, so it was a terrible thing and could be overthrown by courtiers carelessly. After all, how can there be no king's confidant among the civil and military officials in the past dynasties? Usually it doesn't last long, so he began to cultivate his bosom friend.

However, training a minister as a confidant may face such a situation. One day, if this minister is ambitious and in power, he will overhead his power. Therefore, instead of giving power to a minister you don't trust, it is better to put it in the hands of your own queen, which is more reliable. And at that time, in addition to the eyeing ministers, there were his fourth brother Li Dan and his sister Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping knew that she was Wu Zetian's favorite little daughter and stayed with her all the time. Being Wu Zetian's favorite person is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. Princess Taiping herself is not only clever, but also skilled. She really got the biography of Wu Zetian. So in this case, you must choose your own queen.
