Originally a princess, she was mistaken for a king, even before Wu Zetian proclaimed herself emperor. Why did she end up cruel?

In Xuan Wudi in the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a favorite princess named Hu Chenghua. They gave birth to a son named Xu Yuan. After Xuan Wudi's death, Xu Yuan ascended the throne and Hu Chenghua became the empress dowager. In order to monopolize power, this woman killed her son. Hu Taihou disguised the full moon's daughter as a man, and then put her on the throne. When Hu Taihou settled down in the imperial court, she declared her identity as a daughter, and then cancelled her identity as emperor. The little princess is very poor.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xuan Wudi in the Northern Wei Dynasty had a favorite concubine named Hu Chenghua. Soon, they gave birth to a son named Xu Yuan, who was later made a prince by the emperor. It turned out that according to the ancestral system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, after the prince was removed, he would kill his biological mother to avoid the phenomenon of weak mother in the future. But Emperor Wu Xuan loved this woman very much, and then he didn't execute her, so the problem that our ancestors were worried about came. Hu Taihou is indeed a very ambitious woman.

After Xuan Wudi's death, Xu Yuan naturally succeeded to the throne, and Hu Chenghua became the Empress Dowager. At that time, Xu Yuan was still young, and Hu Taihou helped him deal with government affairs. Later, Hu tasted the power. Since she tried to poison her son, Emperor Xu Yuan, this woman has not spared her son in order to gain more rights.

After the death of Hu Taihou's son, she disguised herself as a man's daughter and put her on the throne in order to stabilize the heart of the DPRK minister. Later, when things in court gradually stabilized, Hu Taihou announced the identity of the daughter. The little princess died not long after she abdicated. It was a pitiful death. Her mother used her to gain power. In the end, she doesn't care about her life or death.

Hu Taihou also added posthumous title "Shang Emperor" to her after her death. The emperor later went down in history. Therefore, she was the first female emperor in history. Although she has no real power in power, posthumous title, who also has an emperor, will go down in history forever.
