As the saying goes, sisters are deep. Why did Wu Zetian attack her own sister?

In ancient times, a big family inevitably had many children, many of whom were half-brothers. In addition, many children are born with unequal status, so it is difficult to have equal affection, let alone sisters and the like.

Wu Zetian's sister married a small official, but her husband died young, leaving only a pair of children. Coincidentally, he was called into the palace. He took advantage of the fact that Wu Zetian was pregnant and could not wait on the bed. With her similar appearance, he successfully won the favor of Emperor Gaozong. After Wu Zetian knew it, she let her sister go out of the palace for a female compatriot and was not allowed to have an affair with the emperor again.

Later, after the establishment of Wu Zetian, her sister was also named Mrs. Han. But Mrs. Han was not satisfied. She was in a palace with her mother and rekindled her old love with the emperor. After Wu Zetian knew this, how could she continue to tolerate it? So a few days later, people realized that the Korean lady in her thirties had passed away. At that time, Wu Zetian was in power, and Emperor Gaozong dared to be angry and dare not speak. Later, Wuhou even abolished the concubines system on the grounds of the emperor's health.

Even if the two sisters have a good relationship, it has been intolerable for women since ancient times to wait on the young lady. Even now, if a woman finds out that her sister is having an affair with her husband, I think she should be very anxious to kill her sister. Just because of the current legal constraints, we can't do such a radical thing.

In that dynasty, Wu Zetian held the power of life and death for many people. As long as she wants someone to die, even if she didn't do it herself, there will be many people to help her without paying any price.
