In history, when Wu Zetian first entered the palace, there was a saying that "Emperor III, Wu Dai Li Xing", so Li Junxian was killed. Is this the so-called prophecy?

Although science is developed, it is not omnipotent, and there are still many things that science cannot solve. In the past, many things that were regarded as superstitions were being uncovered by science, including prediction. Sometimes the forecast is reasonable, including the current weather forecast, earthquake forecast, natural disaster forecast and so on. So predictions are not necessarily made up. But the language of Wu Zetian was mostly invented by later generations. Because China has always been a patriarchal society, it is always a little uncomfortable for women to be emperors, so there are many prophetic legends.
