Wu Zetian entered the Tang imperial household at age 14. Not only was she beautiful, but she was intelligent and astute in her dealings. She also had an iron will. Emperor Taizong saw her ability, and made her his secretary in all his official dealings. When Taizong died, his son Li Zhi, who had always been infatuated with Wu Zetian, ascended the throne. He made her his empress. As Li Zhi was in poor heath, Empress Wu became the actual ruler of China. Upon his death, she was able to stabilize the situation based on her abundant experience of political intrigue during the twelve years she served as Emperor Taizong's secretary. In 690 A.D., she ascended the throne and changed the dynastic name to Zhao. She was a hardworking, caring ruler, and China enjoyed peace and prosperity under her reign. She encouraged and supported female participation in politics, being the first to champion women's rights, a millenium ahead of any women's suffragette movement.
