Wu Zhao issued an order not to remove the ancestral temple of the Tang emperor, but they wanted to enjoy sacrifices in Chang'an together with the ancient emperors.

He then granted the surname Wu to all the princes and grandchildren of the emperor, and granted fiefs to all the relatives of the Wu clan. He made the eldest sister Wu Shun the Princess of Zheng and concurrently the Minister of Zongzheng Temple.

Wu Minhui discussed with her mother at this time: "Mother, I want to be Duke of Zhou."

Wu Shun was slightly surprised: "Why? The late emperor's decree is to let your son inherit the title of Duke of Zhou."

Wu Minhui has grown up. She often goes in and out of the palace. She is greatly influenced by Wu Zhao and has a tenacious character and a unique spirit of not admitting defeat.

She sneered, "What's the point of the late emperor? The world now belongs to our Wu family! My aunt is the emperor!"

She looked at Wu Shun and said, "I have always wondered why I am not Duke Zhou but Lady Zhou. Now I understand."

"Because this world doesn't consider women as human beings. Women are different from men. Women can never inherit men's family business."

"Mother, I have been thinking about this problem for a long time, and now I have figured it out. Coincidentally, the world has changed."

"Today, women can rule the world, and there can be a crown princess who inherits the world. Why can't I be my grandfather's heir, but can only be a tool to give birth to an heir?"

Wu Minhui said firmly, "Li Chao Xingjun is right. I am my grandfather's heir. If I cannot inherit my grandfather's title of Duke, how can my children inherit it?!"

She could finally speak her mind: "Mother, I don't want to be the Lady of Zhou, I want to be the Duke of Zhou!"

Wu Shun always supported his daughter: "Okay, let's write a petition together."

Wu Shun and Wu Minhui bravely wrote a letter to the emperor, refusing to accept the title of county princess and requesting to take on the position of Duke of Zhou.

They launched an attack on the patriarchal system of patriarchal society.

Wu Zhao readily agreed, changed Wu Shun's title to Princess of Zhou, and made Wu Minhui the King of Zhou, both of them in the same rank.

Wu Zhao struck while the iron was hot and made major changes to the royal title system.

In the future, the emperor's legitimate children would have their own residences as princes, and illegitimate children would have their own residences as county kings. The legitimate son who inherited the throne of prince would be called a prince, with the same title as his father.

The legitimate daughter who inherited the throne of a princess became the queen, with the same title as her mother, and was succeeded by a lower rank. The Five Dynasties period was abolished.

A father can choose to pass his throne to his daughter, but a mother's throne can only be passed to her daughter.

In other words, when Wu Shun, the eldest princess of Zhou, died, Wu Minhui, as the king of Zhou, inherited her mother's title and became a first-rank princess of Zhou.

If Wu Minhui's daughter inherited her title as princess, she would be the first-rank Princess of Zhou, and her granddaughter would inherit her daughter's title as Princess of Zhou County.

All the civil and military officials dared not say much and could only shout "Your Majesty is wise and wise."

The preparations for the coronation ceremony were complete, and the day it was officially held was Li Zhao's birthday, April 18th of the lunar calendar.

Li Zhao opened the live broadcast room and broadcast Emperor Wu's ascension to the throne to everyone.

"My dear children, come and witness this historic moment!"

"Emperor Wu is about to ascend the throne, and the Great Yu Dynasty will welcome the first female emperor and crown princess in feudal society at the same time!"

[Ping Xiaoyu]: Ohhhhhh! I was so excited that I just howled like a wolf!

【Green Grape Apricot】: Hurry, hurry, hurry! Can’t wait!

In the camera, there is an extremely large imperial procession, with countless people in gorgeous clothes holding various ceremonial instruments, guarding the jade carriage in the middle, which slowly drives through the street to the Taimiao of the Dayu Dynasty by the Luo River.

Yudou Xuanzun did not use his own procession, but rode in the same carriage with Wu Zhao.

In front of the Taizu Temple of the Dayu Dynasty on Luoshui, Li Zhao only offered sacrifices to Dou Mu Yuanjun, the original body of Jingguang Tiannu Daojun, and then handed it over to Wu Zetian.

On the left and right of Dou Mu Yuanjun are Li Zhao, the Jade Dou Xuanzun, and Wu Zhao, the Pure Light Goddess. They occupy the main seats and enjoy the sacrifices.

Civil and military officials from both inside and outside the country, as well as chieftains of the barbarians, were placed in their respective positions, with rare birds, beasts, and various treasures displayed in front of the altar.

The grand procession of cultural relics has never been seen since ancient times.

After the sacrifice, the imperial procession returned to Luoyang, entered from the east gate, and drove all the way to Zetian Gate.

The Zetian Gate stood tall and towering into the sky, and below it stood the common people who had been selected to watch the ceremony. Among them were men and women, young and old, rich and poor.

The new emperor ascended the high platform and stood side by side with Yudou Xuanzun.

The fiery red sun rose in the east, and the sky became bright.

Suddenly, a loud phoenix cry was heard in the sky, and a huge cuckoo with a purple body and gorgeous tail feathers flew from the east and circled in the air.

Wherever its wings passed, flowers flew down and countless cool raindrops fell on people.

People who were caught in the rain were shocked to find that some of their minor ailments had healed and their skin had become visibly smoother and more delicate.

"It's nectar! The divine bird has sent down nectar!"

"This is the God congratulating His Majesty the Divine Emperor and His Majesty Xuanzun!"

The people cheered and hurriedly looked for containers to collect the nectar. If it weren't for the palace soldiers maintaining order, the scene would have been chaotic.

Unfortunately, the rain only lasted for a while and it stopped before they could find something to catch the rain.

Pei Yuan and Ruyi now had an additional job as attendants, and they wrote furiously as historians to record this scene forever in the history books.

Li Zhao & Qingluan: I'm sorry, we can only exchange this much [Disease Eliminating Pill] and Skin Toner. We have to dissolve them in water and distribute them to the whole city. Each person can only get this much.

Looking at the people below, Li Zhao controlled the nine-colored bird that had been transformed by the [Tiangong Qiaozhuanglian] to fly over, and there was no need to pretend to be a cuckoo.

A nine-colored bird flew over, hovered in front of Zetian's gate, and threw a pill to Wu Zhao.

"Goddess, your true form is the Holy Queen of the Nine True Virtues of the Northern Dipper, Her Majesty the Innate Dou Mu Yuanjun, who has specially ordered me to bring you the Rejuvenation Pill to congratulate you on your ascension to the throne."

"Rejuvenation pill?!" Wu Zhao was no longer calm. She looked at the pill in her hand, and the officials around her all had burning eyes.

Oh my god! Does this mean that taking this medicine can turn back the aging process? !

Wu Zhao took the pill immediately.

Her face changed little by little, the wrinkles on her skin disappeared, her hair became as black as ink again, and her body completely returned to its peak at the age of 25!

Wu Zhao, return to youth!

Wu Zhao was extremely excited. After so many years, she felt the vitality of youth again.

"Good! From now on, we will change the era name to Tianshou!"

The people became even more convinced that the Dayu Dynasty was indeed a dynasty protected by God, and they were the people of this dynasty.

Although Li Tang had not completely lost the support of the people, it was gradually fading.

The ancient land of China has once again ushered in an era where women rule the world.

According to historical records, on April 18th of the first year of Tianshou, a purple cuckoo came from the east, bringing colorful auspicious clouds, and brought down nectar that could cure diseases, and presented Taizu with an elixir of life.

Taizu was overjoyed and changed the reign title to Tianshou, and invited Taizong Wu Zhao to take the throne in the Crown Prince's Palace.

Mother and daughter stood side by side at Zetian's Gate, receiving congratulations from all over the country.
