Although Wu Zetian once replaced the Li family, she regarded Li Zhi as her husband from beginning to end, so in the end she could not escape the feudal thought of wives being buried with their husbands, and was buried with Li Zhi in Qianling Mausoleum. , bid farewell to the troubles of the world. It can be seen from Wu Zetian's arrangements for her death that Li Zhi's status in her mind is very high. Without Li Zhi, she would have no chance to become the leader of a country, nor would she enjoy the love of an emperor. Therefore, Li Zhi was Wu Zetian's lover and a friend who could trust each other.
Wu Zetian entered the palace at a young age. Because of her bold and decisive temperament, she attracted the attention of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, there was nothing wrong with Li Zhi. Although Tang Taizong was somewhat interested in Wu Zetian at the time, it was nothing to do with it later. Then Tang Taizong became seriously ill. During this period, Li Zhi often went to the palace to attend to the illness and serve Tang Taizong. Because of the sudden glimpse, Li Zhi fell in love with Wu Zetian when he first met her. At that time, she was still called Mei Niang. Any smart woman would definitely catch Li Zhi. Mei Niang is a leader among people, and she would not let go of this opportunity. So the two of them secretly crossed Chencang a few kilometers away from Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhi's feelings for Wu Meiniang were out of control, and his father's condition became increasingly serious, and in the end he failed to fight against death. After the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Meiniang was sent to the temple to pray for blessings. Li Zhi missed Wu Meiniang all the time, so the Queen Wang decided to take Wu Meiniang back to the palace for her own benefit. She never thought that this decision would ruin her life. After Wu Meiniang entered the palace, she not only had a fierce fight with Li Zhi, but also secretly crossed Concubine Xiao Shu and the Queen, and finally she became the Lord of the Sixth Palace. Li Zhi has made great contributions along the way, because he can turn a blind eye and let his Mei Niang become the most noble woman because he likes her.
After Wu Meiniang became the queen, her ambitions began to grow. Coupled with Li Zhi's poor health, she was often asked to help handle national affairs, until later the entire country was handed over to her. Li Zhi not only likes Wu Zetian, but actually has more appreciation and love. As the one who is given, Wu Zetian can definitely feel Li Zhi's emotions for her, and she does the same. They should love each other. Yes, it's just that the ingredients of this kind of love are very complicated. In any case, it's because of love, so Wu Zetian asked to be buried with Li Zhi after his death.
