When she became emperor, Wu Zetian was 67 years old. An old man who is nearly 70 years old, even if he has any physiological needs, his physical strength is definitely not enough. Therefore, the primary reason for Wu Zetian to recruit a large number of talented people is definitely not to satisfy his own selfish desires and vent. More, he should pursue his own political goals. As a woman, how can he be without a man?
Wu Zetian is in power among many men. Naturally, she has to have some means of her own, such as executing cruel officials, which is cruel. These are actually for the DPRK bosses. In order to show her position, her position can be consolidated and will not be shaken. Therefore, the extensive recruitment of Toy Boy also means imitating the 3,000 beauties in the harem of male emperors. On the one hand, the important reason is to show that their status is the same as that of a male-dominated society, so as to play a deterrent role. The female emperor also has a harem.
Secondly, what she prized can also help his regime, such as the Zhang brothers. Although these people were finally executed by Wu Zetian, they did a lot of things for Wu Zetian when they were in favor. Although this way of employing people was very unreliable, at that time, it was the best way for Wu Zetian to cultivate cronies. After all, she is a pillow person, although it is a pit.
Wu Zetian's popularity is due to his dominant position, not without selfish desires, but Bian Xiao thinks it is more important for his own political purposes.
