direlion:HISTORY MEME → (1/9) Kings/Queens Empress: Wu ZetianWu Zetian (c.625 – 705), was a Chinese sovereign, who ruled officially under the name of her self-proclaimed “Zhou Dynasty” from 690 to 705. The daughter of a lumber merchant, Wu, at the tender age of 13, took the first steps on her path to power when she was selected as a concubine to the 40-year-old Supreme Emperor (Taizong). She then used her looks, cunning and connections to eventually rule one of the largest empires of the world. [1] [2] -- source link
