		A Recollection of the Splendor of the Tang Dynasty
		Having worked as Emperor Taizong's secretary for 12 years, Wu Zetian was very familiar with the former emperor's main priorities in his management of state affairs, many of which she followed, for example, his stress on agriculture, reducing tax and corvee, practicing a peaceful foreign policy, and widely soliciting advice and suggestions.

		Soon she was the emperor's favorite; by giving him a son, something the official empress hadn't done, she pulled ahead of the other concubines and was closing in on the empress herself.
		Finally, in 705 Zhongzong's friends staged a counter-coup to bring the former unlucky emperor back; because she was now eighty, Wu Zhao chose to retire instead of fight, and died in her summer palace a few months later, thus ending the career of one of China's most ruthless leaders.
