First, work pressure. For example, although the person who helped Wu Zetian abolish Li Xian was Pei Yan, who was listed as a "life minister" by Emperor Li Zhi, Pei Yan and Wu Zetian acceded to the throne are not compatible. The reason why he used Wu Zetian to destroy Li Xian was to do his duty and choose the most suitable candidate for the emperor, but this candidate was not Wu Zetian. So, when Wu Zetian showed his true colors, Pei Yan immediately changed his mind, even called a spade a spade, and tirelessly stipulated that Wu Zetian should be located in Li Xian as soon as possible.
In fact, many people resisted Wu Zetian, and Pei Yan was just the tip of the iceberg of many reformists. It is precisely because she felt the great power of its existence that Wu Zetian immediately implemented the "cleaning up Lai Junchen", preferring to kill one thousand by mistake and not let go of one person. However, in the past ten years, the grass that supported the Li School has always existed with the attitude of "spring breeze, spring breeze". Therefore, even if Wu Zetian has 10,000 wishes to keep her family name "Wu", it is almost impossible to guarantee it in real life. If it is passed on to one of his nephews, then what they get is not the throne, but a "time bomb", and even all future generations will be blown up forever. The Lv Zhi family in the Han Dynasty is a lesson from the past.
Second, the work pressure of Liehou. First of all, although it was a "fake" Li who sent troops against Wu, I was like a fuse, which set off the anger of the imperial clan. If Li Xian had attacked Luoyang, if the imperial clan was not as mediocre and useless as fragmented, then Wu Zetian would have vanished. Therefore, even if Wu Zetian manipulates the situation soon, the influence on her heart will be hard to let go for a long time.
Third, external working pressure. Turkic was the first to resist the less authoritarian system that Wu Zetian changed Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty. In June 698, the third month after Li Xian was welcomed back to Luoyang, the great Turkic Khan Ashina quietly asked his daughter to marry Li Xian (or Li Xian's brother) as an imperial concubine. However, Wu Zetian also sent her grandnephew Wu Yanxiu to Turkey to marry Khan's daughter. The silent comments in the conclusion were furious, lambasted Wu Zetian for "the dog's tail continues to be a mink" and even degraded Wu Shi to nothing.
Finally, my "Silent Writing" takes other trivial matters as the reason for sending troops to the border between Wu and Zhou. Wu Yanxiu was detained by Turks, and it was not until six years later that the relationship between Turks and Wu Zhou eased that he was able to return to his hometown.
Therefore, although the Turkish boycott of Wu Zetian is an example, we can also see the importance of Li Tang in neighboring countries. Moreover, countries such as Khitan and Tubo have unstable relations with Wu Zhou, and there are many similar reasons with Turks.
Generally speaking, Li Xian's return is the general trend. Wu Zetian does not have the ability to "go against the trend" and can only return to calm after the scenery is infinite. However, as a lady, Wu Zetian showed great kinetic energy, which made the whole period look askance, so it is well-deserved to be called one of the most outstanding women in history. After all, Li Xian brought people a chill, and it was because of its common weakness that the Tang Empire was able to move forward again.
Why did Li Zhi fall in love with Wu Zetian? Loyalty, kindness and single-mindedness: After Li Zhi was made Crown Prince, Emperor Taizong once told his eldest grandson Zhirou that Li Zhi was too weak, and his eldest grandson Zhirou said that Li Zhi was not weak, but loyal. Li Zhi is filial to his parents and friendly to his brothers and sisters.
Clever, wise and rebellious: Li Zhi was clever and studious since childhood, and made great achievements in literature, calligraphy and songs as an adult. However, when Li Zhi was young, he was also a rebellious youth. Li Shimin's education of children is particularly strict, and Li Zhi is cautious, modest and polite in front of his father, giving people a feeling of cowardice. In fact, Li Zhi's weakness is probably a strategy. In order to gain more rights and interests, he consciously hides his strength and shows weakness.
