In the sixth year of Yonghui, Li Zhi demoted all the opponents and made you the Empress! In order to celebrate you becoming the Empress, Li Zhi changed the year title to Xianqing Year the next year.
In the 4th year of Xianqing, you and Li Zhi reached a consensus to remove the ministers from their posts if they didn't listen. From now on, Li Zhi alone holds the power!
In the fifth year of Xianqing, Li Zhifeng's illness began to act up. He often felt dizzy and couldn't handle state affairs. However, during this period, your relationship with Li Zhi cracked, and your position as the Empress was almost abolished!
"As expected, only the Emperor stands at the peak of power. Even the Empress can be deposed as she pleases!”
Wu Zetian once again witnessed the terror of power. She somewhat understood why she would become the empress in the future!
In this era, only the Emperor could truly keep his word!
Four years later, the Prime Minister, Shangguan Yi, requested to abolish your position as Empress. Li Zhi agreed and ordered Shangguan Yi to draft an edict. However, all these difficulties were resolved by your intelligence.
In another ten years, when Li Zhi becomes the emperor and you become the queen, your power will grow. Li Zhi even wanted you to be regent because his dizziness was getting worse. It was also that year that your eldest son, Li Hong, died of illness, and your second son, Li Xian, was appointed Crown Prince.
Wu Zetian only watched silently, but there were many things in her eyes that she had never seen before.
Another five years passed. In the second year of Diaolu, Li Xian was deposed as a commoner for treason and exiled to Bazhou. Your third son, Li Xian, was appointed Crown Prince.
Three years later, which is the second year of Yongchun, Li Zhi passed away and Li Xian ascended the throne. You, who are already 61 years old, are honored as the Empress Dowager.
"61 years old?"
Wu Zetian, who was engrossed in watching, subconsciously reached out to touch her delicate skin. She did not dare to imagine what she looked like at the age of 61.
However, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was already so old, yet she still wanted to rebel? Self-proclaimed emperor?
If that was the case, she would probably only be an empress for a few years!
Li Xian ascended the throne, which was the first year of the heir. However, Li Xian only served as the Emperor for a month before you deposed him as the King. Then, you made your fourth son Li Dan the Emperor and named him Chuigong. At this time, you already have the idea of becoming an emperor.
In the same year, Li Ji's son, Xu Jingye, chose to rebel in the name of helping Li Xian. However, he committed suicide in defeat.
In the next few years, you became extremely cruel. You began to appoint cruel officials to kill Li Tang's royal family. You even did not let your own grandson off.
After another four years, you, who is already 64 years old, no longer pretend and decide to become an emperor!
"Are you really going to become an emperor?"
"Can she really become the only empress of China?”
Wu Zetian's entire body couldn't help but tremble. The current her didn't even dare to dream about it!
Moreover, the process of her claiming the throne did not seem difficult. She did not raise an army to rebel, but directly used her wisdom to take over the entire Tang Empire!
Wu Zetian gritted her teeth and tried her best to calm herself down. She was the empress, and this was something that would happen 40 years later! The most important thing now was to protect his own life!
Or could it be that she could think of ways to make herself the empress in advance?
Just as you were about to declare yourself emperor, someone you didn't expect appeared. Someone who was beyond everyone's expectations appeared forcefully! The moment you announced that you were about to become emperor, the eight princes of the Li Tang royal family chose to raise an army to compete with you. At that time, you didn't care about the Li Tang royal family at all, because the talented people in the royal family had long been eliminated by you!
However, the appearance of King Zhao and Li Le shocked everyone, including you. No one would have thought that Li Shi Min's tenth son, Li Zhi's younger brother, the blind prince, was actually pretending to be blind! The Blind Prince that you had never taken seriously and had even forgotten had actually become your greatest threat!
With the appearance of the 60-year-old Li Le, the royal family of the Li Tang Empire found their backbone and directly started a war with you. That battle was called " Nine Kings Protect the Kingdom "!
"Li Le?"
"That blind prince?"
"So, he was pretending to be blind all along?"
"A man who pretended to be blind for 50 years?”
Wu Zetian, who was originally extremely excited, felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her. It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her, and she instantly sobered up.
She did not expect that there would be such a patient person in the world who could pretend to be blind for 50 years?
No wonder this person had become her biggest threat.
Wu Zetian tried hard to recall Li Le. She suddenly realized that Li Le seemed to be invisible. Other than knowing that Li Le was blind, she knew nothing else?
No, the King of Zhao, Li Le, seemed to be getting married in the next few days. She had heard of this before.
However, since she was able to become the one and only empress, Li Le should have been defeated by her!
Wu Zetian stopped her curiosity. Her glorious moment, her supreme moment, was about to arrive!
The Nine Kings Protection ended in failure, but the war between you and Li Le has just officially begun! "The battle between you two lasted for five years. During these five years, Li Le only lost once. That time, the northern non-humankind formed an alliance and went south. Li Le's army was divided into two. He won against the non-humankind, but lost to you.
However, Li Le did not admit defeat. Instead, he retreated to the Western Regions and continued to be your enemy! There was no other way. You chose to negotiate. The terms of the negotiation were that Li Le would be the King of Tang and would not have to pay taxes. He would be completely independent, so he was respected as the West Deity. And you promised Li Le that after you passed away, you would return the empire to the Li family!
"Li Le?"
"Li Le!"
Wu Zetian's face was filled with battle intent. In the future, she would have deceived Li Shiming and defeated Li Zhi. Who would have thought that she would be able to match up with the blind prince, Li Le?
What kind of person was Li Le?
You and Li Le have been in a stalemate for five years. Finally, you have good news. Li Le has passed away! That day, you were alone in the main hall, crying and laughing. You finally won against Li Le! Bring Li Le's body back to Fairy's Capital with the state funeral ceremony and bury him in Zhaoling! Seeing Li Le in the coffin, you can finally feel at ease. From now on, you are the one and only empress. However, without Li Le as an opponent, you realize that you are old. You are already 76 years old, and you are already at the age of illness!
"As expected, I won in the end!”
Wu Zetian clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with joy. She was really the first female emperor in the history of China, perhaps the only one! This joy was simply indescribable.
In the next five years, in order to prove to the world that you are the unique empress, you issued many policies that benefit the country and the people. When you were bedridden, the prime minister launched a coup and asked you to abdicate. The old you passed the throne to Li Xian and focused on recuperating. In November of the same year, you died of illness in the Immortal Residence Hall at the age of 82!
However, at that time, you never thought that not only did Li Le pretend to be dead, but he also became the emperor!
"What?"
Wu Zetian was instantly dumbfounded. She wondered if she had heard wrongly. Fear appeared in her eyes. This Li Le was too terrifying!
Not only did he pretend to be blind, he even chose to play dead!
Didn't this mean that she still lost in the end?
It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to meet this Li Le.
As for now, he had to calm down!
"Phew!"
After a long time, Wu Zetian finally calmed down. She already knew the future in advance. In this life, she would definitely not lose!
But now, the problem she needed to think about was how to avoid the next fatal disaster!
In fact, while watching the TV series, Wu Zetian had already found herself a way to escape.
What she needed to think about now was whether that path of survival was feasible.
