It is not recorded in the history books that Empress Wu became emperor, and she never relied solely on the court.
At a time when all civil and military officials in the dynasty could rebel, only the "sharp blade" she raised with her own hands could be trusted.
With the dignity of an emperor, she performed the duties of an instructor, set up a "Shadow Pavilion", established a "Xuanyin Guard", and forged a group of criminal maids and orphans into swords that could be inserted into the hearts of political opponents.
They are her shadow, her weapons, and the bloody ladder for her to climb to the 95th.
Do you want to know how a generation of empresses used "nurturing system" secret guards to subvert the world?
