Wordless Stele Song: The Biography of Wu Zetian

The story begins during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. After spending more than ten years of court life in obscurity, Wu Meiniang, who was regarded as a talented person next to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, finally encountered an opportunity to impress Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. With Taizong's attention, she gradually became familiar with Prince Li Zhi. Both of them had a deep impression of each other and had a good impression of each other. After the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Meiniang became a nun in Ganye Temple outside Chang'an City in accordance with palace regulations. Unwilling to spend her life like this, she created an opportunity for herself to re-enter the palace when Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi went to Ganye Temple to offer incense. With the birth of her son, she went from palace maid to Zhaoyi, and from Zhaoyi to queen. With her special wisdom and courage, she cleared the obstacles step by step, eliminated old enemies, and firmly sat on top of Feng Luan in the harem. After consolidating her position, Empress Wu began to help her husband manage the affairs of the court. She decisively eliminated dissidents and returned the government to the central palace. During this period, she proposed twelve political propositions to the emperor, which are the famous "Twelve Proposals" in history. Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi praised her propositions profusely and the edict was implemented. The couple worked together to govern the country and were known as the "Two Saints" at that time. When Gaozong was weak and ill and unable to attend the court, Empress Wu shouldered the heavy responsibilities of the country and showed amazing performance.
