The Concubine Who Became EMPRESS OF ALL CHINA?! | Wu Zetian | China's Formidable Concubine Empress

A compilation of some of my older videos! This time we're looking at the life of the formidable Wu Zetian, a woman who worked her way through the backstabbing and family politics of the Tang dynasty, to become the only undisputed female sovereign in the history of China. She wasn't destined for this, but rather to simply be another concubine from a middle-class family in the Emperor's harem. But Wu Zetian's ambition, drive, ruthlessness and ingenuity would earn her the ultimate prize...
