Empress Wu Zetian - LIES - Chinese History - Extra History

📜 Welcome Extra Historians to our Empress Wu Zetian Lies video! Where we talk about the mistakes we made and the details we couldn't quite squeeze into our Wu Zetian Series. With questions like, Is it really possible to drown someone in a vat of wine? Why aren't there witches in Chinese culture? And what ended up happening to those Gaozong brothers?
