Vo Tac Thien and the hidden horror secret corners are buried

As the only female Emperor in Chinese history, Vo Tac Thien is a powerful woman that many people fear and admire. History has recorded her life has gone through many ups and downs along with terrifying secrets.

In a society that respects men and despises women like the feudal period in Chinese history, the story of Vo Tac Thien's rise from concubine to female Emperor is often mentioned as a legend.

Vo Tac Thien is commonly known as Vo My Nuong, whose real name is Vo Chieu. She is the only female emperor in Chinese history, she has left many debates about merits among historians.

She went through the positions of Tai Ren, Chieu Nghi, Empress, Empress Dowager, Emperor, Thai Thuong Hoang, but finally before her death returned to the position of Empress of the Tang Dynasty.

Her rise to power was strongly criticized by Confucian historians, but historians since the 1950s have taken a different view of her.

In 683, Cao Tong died. Vo Tac Thien in turn brought his two sons to the throne, but these two kings were not satisfied with her. She sought to depose, poison Trung Tong and keep Due Tong under house arrest, in order to establish a dynasty in the name of the Empress Dowager. Also according to historical records, Vo Tac Thien is said to have poisoned and harmed his children in turn to seize power and take the throne.

In September 690, Vo Tac Thien proclaimed himself the Holy Emperor and changed his country name to Chu. Since then, Wu Zetian became the only female emperor in Chinese history.

From the day she became queen, she became more and more cruel, anyone who opposes her means chooses death. Her children can also be destroyed if they interfere with the government and her holding of power. She trusts no one, not even her own relatives.

Vo Tac Thien strives all his life just because he wants to tell the world that women can do great things, even become emperors, but are not weak compared to men.

Despite many contributions to the development of a powerful dynasty, it was her ruthlessness and malicious tricks that caused controversy for later historians.

Harming the queen to take power

Returning to the palace from Cam Nghiep pagoda, the daughter of the surname Vo became the concubine of Cao Tong (628 - 683) with the name Vo Chieu Nghi. She had with the king a baby girl, Princess An Dinh.

However, the child died prematurely shortly after the Queen's visit. Tang Cao Tong quickly accused the Queen Queen, saying that she did it out of jealousy, so she pretended to visit and then killed the little princess. The queen always sought revenge because she was so frustrated with the injustice that pierced the sky. She and Tieu Thuc Phi went to find an enchanter to harm the other, but things were not secret, causing both of them to be deposed and sent to the palace.

Vo Tac Thien tortured and tortured two noble concubines in the palace right at the time of being crowned empress to avoid thorns, by the way, to avoid the fact that Cao Tong was resentful and wrote a pardon.

Before she died, because she was so angry at the brutal punishment she had to endure, the Queen and Tieu Thuc Phi vowed to turn into cats to take revenge on Vo Tac Thien every night. According to the ancients, that is also the reason why she is especially afraid of cats and is often so obsessed with the sound of cats that she can't sleep.

Killing his own son and venerable family to win the throne

The Queen Queen and Tieu Thuc Phi are not the only victims of Vo Tac Thien. According to folklore, at the palace, she admitted that she was the one who squeezed her nose, causing Princess An Dinh to die prematurely and then slandered the Queen.

She also forced Crown Prince Ly Trung to die, made the eldest son Ly Cuong as crown prince, but then also poisoned this man during a visit to the palace in Hebei because he dared to express his displeasure. A second son named Ly Hien took his place, then suffered the same fate in 684.

Replacing the crown prince Ly Hien was Ly Hien who ascended the throne in 683. But after only a month of holding the throne, Vo Hau decided to depose the king on the grounds that the wife of Duong Trung Tong Ly Hien was a woman who abused her power. Until 690, she officially became the only female emperor in the history of feudal China.

Brutal murder of disgraced lovers

Vo Tac Thien showed his romantic habit as soon as he became emperor. Legend has it that she had many lovers, including brothers Truong Xuong Tong and Truong Dich Chi, Tram Thai y or Phung Tieu Bao. But they were only allowed to be with their powerful lover for a short time and then were murdered.

Later, Duong Huyen Tong (685 - 762) Ly Long Co had the opportunity to overthrow Vo Tac Thien, sent soldiers to dig a lake, so he accidentally discovered a pile of human bones lying deep below.

Most historians before the 1950s strongly criticized Vo Tac Thien's barbaric crimes. Many people see Vo Tac Thien as a typical example of cruelty, taking advantage of his power to kill others, killing people without fear, even killing his own children.

"A woman inappropriately exceeded her limits," the history books recount. However, after the 1950s, people had a different view of her.

During her rule, China's feudal society had a better gender equality system than before and after. Therefore, Wu Zetian is considered a unique phenomenon in Chinese history.

In terms of government affairs, she is extremely strong, decisive and has the talent to govern the country and people. In her time, there were many great and talented gods who were respected such as Lau Su Duc, Dich Nhan Kiet, and Tong Canh.

One historian commented that: "If she saw a certain minister as incompetent, she would immediately remove or even kill her. She also rewarded and punished the division, led the government and Vo Tac Thien has a good sense of observation and judgment, so contemporary talents also have the opportunity to be used."

Before his death, Vo Tac Thien's will not only made the court awkward but also made future generations feel extremely difficult to understand. Accordingly, before the moment of death, the postcard that Vo Tac Thien wanted to use was not the Emperor but the Great Holy Empress.

This testament showed that she wanted to instruct her descendants to give up her imperial throne to return to the title of Empress of the Tang dynasty, also to return to the status of daughter-in-law of the Ly Royal family, and Duong Cao Tong in harmony with the emperor. buried in Can Lang.

She was forever resting in the royal temple of Ly Duong, respected by the descendants of Ly Thi. Until the reign of Duong Huyen Tong, the king still honored her as Tac Thien Thuan Thanh Empress.
