As the first female emperor in history, how did Wu Zetian become an emperor?

After years of management, Wu Zetian forced her son to abdicate. Wu Zetian handled state affairs with the support of Li Zhi. Later, she developed her strength step by step. After the abolition of Li Xian, she began to gradually prepare for the throne, and finally abolished Li Dan. Wu Zetian successfully became the 1 queen in the history of China.

Wu Zetian's interference in state affairs began after Li Zhi ascended the throne, and Li Zhi became more severe when he ascended the throne. At that time, the prime minister had great power. The prime minister was Li Zhi's uncle Sun Chang Wuji. The conflict between imperial power and relative power is irreconcilable. Li Zhi wanted to establish his authority and control more rights, so he used Wu Zetian to fight for power and profit in this matter. Later, Li Zhi won, and many prime ministers were demoted.

Not long after that, because of poor health, Li Zhi could not completely deal with the failure of state affairs, so Li Zhi introduced his wife Wu Zetian to help deal with the failure of state affairs. Wu Zetian began to gradually develop her own power. Although there were many twists and turns during this period, Li Zhi always trusted Wu Zetian. Li Zhi called her the emperor and Wu Zetian called her the queen of heaven, and they ruled the world together. In Li Zhi's later years, they also considered abdicating to Wu Zetian.

After the death of Li Zhi, Li Xian, the son of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, succeeded to the throne. But Li Xian was ridiculous. It wasn't long before Wu Zetian abolished the throne and gave it to Li Zhi and Li Dan, the youngest son of Wu Zetian. At this time, the power of state affairs was completely in the hands of Wu Zetian. Since then, Wu Zetian has been promoting her accession to the throne and carrying out various propaganda. Finally, Wu Zetian asked her son to give up the throne. After years of hard work, Wu Zetian became emperor and changed her country name to Zhou. The process of Wu Zetian's proclaimed himself emperor was very hard, and there were many opponents. However, all these people fell on the road of Wu Zetian's progress, and it took decades of efforts to become the first 1 queen of China. After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, she began to practice cruel officialdom politics. She needs to restrain her opponents with high pressure and persecute the imperial clan of Li Tang to secure the throne.
