武则天WǔZétiān (624-705 AD) The Only Empress Regnant in China's History As the only empress regnant in China's history, Wu Zetian is a controversial historical figure forher political achievements and her oppressive, iron-fist rule. She served as a de facto ruler of thecountry for nearly half a century.Wu was born into a rich family in today's Guangyuan City in southwestern China's SichuanProvince.Because her father, as a successful timber trader, once supported the rebel forces led by Li Yuan,who later became the first emperor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), he wasappointed a Tang imperial court official and held a number of high-ranking posts.Unlike other girls of her age, Wu was not interested in needlework or house chores, instead sheloved to read all kinds of classic and political books. She also got the opportunity to travelaround the country with her parents. These experiences helped to prepare Wu for her futurecareer in politics.When Wu was only 12, her father died. Almost immediately, Wu and her mother began to sufferfrom bullying from Wu'suncles and other relatives and their lives became miserable. But after learning that Wu was a peerless beauty, the then Emperor T aizong summoned her to the imperial court and named her one of his concubines. That year, Wu was 13.Wu was a very bright, but extremely strong-willed person. She was also known for hercombination of sagaciousness and cunning.As a result, she never had any official titles conferred upon her by Emperor Taizong, despiteserving him for 12 years. The emperor believed that Wu was an extraordinary and ambitiouswoman, so he was always wary of her and tried hard to restrain her status and influence in theimperial court.One day, the emperor consulted an imperial astronomer about a widely spread rumor that afterthe third emperor of Tang an empress would take over the throne.The emperor asked if he should kill all the females at court he was suspicious of. The astronomersaid: "If it happens, it's Heaven's decree, man shouldn't interfere."Not long after Emperor Taizong died in 649 AD, Wu became the empress of his son, the newEmperor Gaozong.In the following years, Empress Wu began to gain more and more influence in the imperial court and she was actually making many important decisions in state affairs in the later years ofEmperor Gaozong.After Emperor Gaozong died, Wu became the Empress Dowager and she first deposed the nextnew emperor and then installed her youngest son as a puppet emperor. She herself began topreside over all important imperial court gatherings.Wu, as the de facto ruler, resorted to ruthless and oppressive means to consolidate her power.She killed almost all her opponents and recruited the cruelest officials in the country to helpmaintain social order.However, despite her bad reputation as a ruler, Wu also knew how to use talented people to helpher rule the country.She followed the advice of her aides to reduce corvee and taxes and promote agriculture and theeconomy. As a result, the country flourished under her reign and the population nearly doubled.According to the traditional Chinese order of succession, a woman could never ascend thethrone. In order to achieve her ambition of becoming the first empress regnant of the country,Wu founded her own dynasty in 690 AD. Wu's dynasty, called Zhou, lasted for 15 years until 705AD, the year Wu fell sick and died.Wu was not only a great politician, but also a renowned poet.
