Amaterasu was, of course, extremely interested in monitoring the activities of the Imperial family, and especially in trying to develop the vessel that she would use to return to Wakeworld and implement he ultimate plan.
Since the Kunaisho is responsible for providing all of the chamberlains (in other words, personal servants), secretaries and bodyguards for the Emperor and his family, this was a trivial matter: the Shoka merely sucked the knowledge they required from the minds of their workers.
The Imperial family itself began to accumulate a number of crucial artifacts and tomes, as various Emperors or Imperial family members came under her sway and began to investigate the potential of the Mythos.

In the early Heian period, the late 8th and early 9th centuries, Emperor Kammu sought to consolidate and expand his rule in northern Honshu, but the armies he sent to conquer the rebellious Emishi lacked motivation and discipline, and were unable to prevail.
Originally these warriors were merely mercenaries in the employ of the emperor and noble clans (kuge), but slowly they gathered enough power to usurp the aristocracy and establish the first samurai-dominated government.
In spite of various machinations and brief periods of rule by various emperors, real power was now in the hands of the shogun and the samurai.

Empress (or Emperor) Wu Zhao ran into a constitutional dead-end when she founded her Zhou dynasty, because if she passed the throne to her son he would be a Li, and the Tang dynasty would start all over again.
You are right; even though Wu Zetian officially declared herself Emperor and had the dynastic name changed to “Zhou,” her own position owed a large part to the fact that she was actually a woman from the Li family as she was actually married into the Imperial family.
I surmise part of Wu Zetian’s goal for being the first female Emperor was to satisfy her own ambitions that the female gender was not so much inferior to the male gender, while the other part being trying to save the country from going into chaos with the weak reigns of both her sons.

In 645 the Nakatomi clan staged a successful coup, and then, having changed their name to Fujiwara, rose to become the most influential and aristocratic family in Japan's history.
As early as 646, the Fujiwara introduced a series of reforms, the Taika, or Great Reforms, reorganizing the government on Chinese lines in order to strengthen the throne.
