Although she had many Toy Boy after Li Zhi's death, she had no love for them. What she really loves is her husband, Emperor Li Zhi. Secondly, the queen should let the world know that although she is the queen, she is also the daughter-in-law of the Li family and should hide beside her husband surnamed Li.
Third, she also wants the world to know that she has done a lot for the Li family in this life. After her death, she will express her guilt and remorse to the Li family with practical actions, including changing the Zhou Dynasty to Tang Dynasty, returning the right to the Li family, and moving Princess Li Xianhui of Yongtai and Prince Li Xian of Zhang Huai, whom she framed for political problems, to Ganling.
The tablet without words is the best way for Wu Zetian to express herself to the world. Her achievements are so great that words can't express them. Merits and demerits are judged by future generations, just like she wants to hide in Ganling, giving people infinite reverie and thinking.
In 705 AD (the first year of Shenlong), Minister Zhang and others took advantage of Wu Zetian's illness to launch a palace coup, which established the status of restoration and restored the reputation of the Tang Dynasty. In the same year, 165438+ 10, 82-year-old Wu Zetian died in Luoyang shangyang palace. After the restoration, Zhongzong held a funeral for his mother and buried Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong in Ganling.
In Wu Zetian's later years, government officials were not very obedient. Many ministers want to abolish the Wu family and follow the Li family. In this case, if Wu Zetian builds another tomb for herself, it will be destroyed after a hundred years and may be flogged to death. If she and Tang Gaozong were buried in Ganling, they would not be harmed by future generations, and they could enjoy the sacrifice. So Wu Zetian wanted to be buried in Ganling with Emperor Gaozong. If there were no dragon coup, I think Wu Zetian would be willing to be buried in Ganling with her, because she felt that she owed too much to the Li family, which was often revealed in her later years.
