hen it comes to Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, I believe everyone should know that he was an emperor in history who was considered to be “strict with his wife”. It has to be said that his ability to spoil his wife was indeed very powerful. But what about other aspects besides spoiling his wife? Whether in terms of politics or other aspects, the results are still good. So how powerful is he in official history? Let’s take a look with the editor below!
In fact, many people may not know much about Li Zhi in official history. He can be considered a rather tragic person. And since ascending to the throne, it has mostly been about power related struggles. Although Li Zhi was not the most outstanding son under Li Shimin’s command, he was indeed a bit young in age and somewhat timid in his actions. But this does not affect him from becoming a good emperor in the future.
After Li Zhi ascended to the throne, he began to rectify the situation, firstly by removing the dictatorship of Changsun Wuji, Zhusuiliang, and others, and even deposing the original consort, Queen Wang. After all, he was preparing to welcome the person he loved the most, and she was Wu Zetian! It has to be said that Li Zhi’s approach has indeed attracted a lot of attention. After all, this approach is somewhat unacceptable. Although Li Zhi’s feelings for Wu Zetian were indeed deep, it was not enough to say that he was influenced by the Five Demons and Three Paths of Mi.
But the most crucial thing is that Li Zhi, as seen in official history, is a rather contradictory person who can survive steadily in harsh environments, and also has his own personality and temperament. So overall, Emperor Li Zhi is still very good. Although it may seem like he was oppressed by Wu Zetian, he still has his unique imperial book! So the best inheritor of Li Shimin’s concept of chastity, this’ cowardly emperor ‘, carried forward the good situation of the early Tang Dynasty. However, Li Zhi is not weak at all.
