Empress Wu Zetian
Wu
Zetian was born of a royal lineage during the Tang
Dynasty. She entered Emperor Taizong's
harem when she was 13 and that of the
successive emperor Gaozong after. A master of
manipulation, Wu Zetian persuaded the
emperor to declare her one rank below the empress
consort. Eventually, the Emperor
married Wu. When Gaozong suffered a stroke five
years later, Wu
governed behind the
scenes. She created a secret police force to spy
on her opposition, jailing or
killing
those who stood in her way.
After Gaozong's death she
reigned through puppet emperors, her sons
Zhongzong and Ruizong.
She finally
proclaimed herself Emperor, the first woman to do
so. Wu ruled until her 80s when she
was
unable to thwart a coup. She died shortly after.
Despite her ruthless climb to power, her rule
was benign. Wu reduced the size of the
standing army, and replaced aristocrats in the
government
with scholars. She was fair
to the peasantry, lowering taxes, raising
agricultural production, and
strengthening public works. Wu also
campaigned to elevate the status of women and had
scholars
write biographies of famous
women.
