At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this resume, but upon closer inspection, it will surprise everyone.Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, who inherited the chaotic lineage of his father Li Shimin, turned out to be a typical atavistic brain, a man who thinks entirely with his lower body.
However, it was this man with severe atavism who easily shattered the challenge of the ministerial system to the imperial power, and laid the foundation of the Great Zhou Empire—the Great Zhou Empire?Isn't it the Tang Empire?That's right, the Great Tang Empire was killed by Empress Wu Zetian, and the future world will be the infinite glory of the Great Zhou Empire in the future.
