Chapter 36 Wu Zetian: My name will be in future generations

She wanted to become emperor not on a whim, nor just for the name, but she firmly believed that women could also become emperor, and their ability to govern would not lag behind men.

She worked every step of the way and worked hard for many years, just to be able to prove this.

Now, she has also temporarily suppressed the opposition in the court, and it is time for her to show her talents.In the past, she worked hard for this, but only she knew that when she got to this position, she was a little confused. She didn't know where to start, and what kind of result would she get if she really did it.

It can be said that every step she takes is like walking on thin ice, not only the ministers of the court are staring at her, but also the Li family who are staring at her. If she makes a wrong step, it will be a sharp arrow for others to attack, and the court will inevitably be bloody again.

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian frowned, but now, from the barrage and Ji Xi's words, she could see that during the next 15 years in power, her evaluation was relatively good.

The big stone in his heart fell, Wu Zetian looked at the things mentioned in the barrage, and he had already drawn up a government order in his heart.

Not long after, she summoned her close ministers to enter the palace.

Ji Xi continued to speak.

"Although she had many difficulties before becoming emperor, after she ascended the throne, she still suppressed the opposition while displaying outstanding political talents."

Under the auspices of Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er and others began to formulate corresponding policies based on Ji Xi's content. They all knew that this was a prophecy that could not be met, and Ji Xi might not be able to explain clearly in a few words, but, Those who understand the basic situation of Tang Dynasty can formulate corresponding policies according to Ji Xi's instructions and make plans early.

Even, based on these, Wu Zetian's career can be improved to a higher level.

Everyone was waiting in full force, never before had they been so serious.

Ji Xi went on to say, "Wu Zetian attacked the aristocratic families, cultivated the poor families, and selected truly talented people to enter the court as officials, that is, adding palace examinations, repairing genealogy and so on. Among them, countless talents were selected, including We are familiar with Di Renjie, Yao Chong and others."

The ministers wrote about these people, and it is imminent to attack the common people. The Tang Dynasty has been shackled by these old families for a long time, and they can take advantage of this situation to eradicate them at once.

"She decided to make eight directions and make diplomacy in Guangzhou. Western Tubo, Northern Turks, and Northeast Yingzhou rebelled, and they were defeated one by one. The Silk Road was unblocked, and eight directions came to the DPRK."

Everyone was astonished. Tubo and Turkic aggression had been going on for a long time, and they had been bothered by Tubo since the time of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, she could solve it, and the officials could not help but praise, "Your Majesty is wise." Think about the process with your brain, and with the result, the process still depends on them.

"Leave corvee and pay less money, and develop culture. During Wu Zetian's administration, the population doubled, and various industries developed greatly, which laid the foundation for the later Kaiyuan prosperity. She also sent people to compile dictionaries."

Shang Guan Wan'er led the way, and everyone quickly started to implement the policy of reducing taxes.

……

In Shendu, preparations for the new policy were intensively started, not only in the palace, but also in the whole country.

The others headed by Changsun Wuji were expelled from the capital. They were originally unwilling to do so. The Changsun family had occupied the capital for more than a hundred years. After all, it won't last long, and God will definitely give them a chance to make a comeback.

During the bumpy road, Changsun Wuji, who used to be aloof, has long since lost his former style. Now he is dusty, with a haggard face and black eyes.

He turned his head to look at Shendu, and the wind and smoke were everywhere, and the flowers were decaying.

In the light curtain surrounded by bursts of streamers, every word of praise Ji Xi gave to Wu Zetian was like stabbing a knife in his heart.

Changsun Wuji was completely hopeless. As a politician, he didn't know that Wu Zetian would use this light curtain to stabilize his rule. At that time, everyone in the whole country would shout that she was the destiny.

The hearts of all people want to, this is a conspiracy that cannot be saved.

He clearly knew that there was no possibility for him to come back. The century-old foundation of the eldest grandson's family was finally destroyed in his hands, and there was no room for change.

Changsun Wuji closed his old and cloudy eyes, which were bloodshot, and a tear dropped from the corner of his eyes.

This drop of tear slipped down and fell into the soil outside the city gate, soaking a piece of ground, and soon evaporated without a trace.

Changsun Wuji boarded the carriage and ran out of the city, and soon, the flying dust fell to the ground, and even this trace was gone.

As he expected, under the deliberate guidance of the people sent by Wu Zetian, the people all believed that Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne was the destiny of heaven, and that she was the empress recognized by later generations. With the help of the light curtain, Wu Zetian quickly won the hearts of the people.

The next step was vigorous suppression. The aristocratic family, the Li clan, and anyone who would threaten Wu Zetian's rule were quickly attacked for various reasons, killing and arresting.

In the old days, the hall thanked Wang Qianyan and flew into the homes of ordinary people.

The decline of noble families and the rise of humble families. In the imperial court, many of them are those who have passed the imperial examinations and other real talents. It is more authentic than those sheltered families.

The court situation was changing, and the two sides were fighting endlessly.

Wu Zetian didn't kill all the big families, the two sides fought endlessly, and the scolding of "the hen is the morning" was much less.

With Ji Xi's "prophecy", Wu Zetian's administration has never been smoother, and in just a few years, she has become the god-emperor in the hearts of the people.

The border is stable, taxes are reduced and exempted, the economy develops, and the people are rich. Wu Zetian is tough and implements policies quickly, and the territory has achieved unprecedented stability and peace.

There were Di Renjie and other people who solved the case first, which attracted officials to follow suit, and in a short time, countless upright officials were trained.

Wu Zetian was on top of what Ji Xi said about her accomplishments, she had to go to a higher level, she avoided a lot of detours, and had more time and energy to bring peace to the world.

Just when Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief seeing the peace and happiness of the people in the territory, what Ji Xi said was like a bucket of ice water being poured down, making her fall into an ice cave instantly.

Ji Xi said, "Although Wu Zetian worked hard at the beginning and demonstrated her super high political talent, she gradually became unable to do what she wanted in her later years. Not only did Wu Sansi and others take advantage of the loopholes, but Wu Zhou also passed away like fireworks. , soon, Datang returned to the hands of the Li family."

"And the various gossips and rumors about her in her later years are also a point that is criticized nowadays."
