Profile

Wu Zetian was the first Empress of China to rule the country herself. Given a good education by her father, she started as a consort to the Emperor, and slowly worked her way up to Empress. She effectively became the actual ruler when the Emperor had a stroke. When her husband died, she either killed or exiled most of her sons, preserving the throne for her youngest, most easily-controlled child. Eventually, her son gave up the title of Emperor, and Wu Zetian at last became supreme ruler in name as well. She became known for her ruthlessness, creating a secret police force which eliminated many corrupt officials and conspirators who wanted one of her sons on the throne. While many historians remember her as cruel, she is also to be remembered for major expansions of China's territories, and for making Buddhism the new state religion over Daoism. She famously left her tombstone blank, saying that history would decide her true legacy.
