Yesterday, Empress Wu, who has been ruling for several years, has died at the age of eighty. Recently, she was forced to give up her throne to her third son after several years of ruling. She started off as the concubine of the late Emperor Gaozong. Towards the end of his reign, she was making most of the important decisions for the Empire, and then when Emperor Gaozong died, she took over.
"This news is very devastating." A women described. "By her ruling, it shows us women that women can rule just as well as men."
Empress Wu Zetian has been known as a very harsh, powerful women and is not afraid to use her power. The Empress had spies to spy on people who might be standing in her way or not agree with her. To frame another Empress, she killed her own daughter and another time she exiled her own son. She made a lot of changes while ruling. Empress Wu Zetian made Buddhism the major religion of her time since she had secret support from the Buddhist church and the church had described her as a reincarnation of Buddhisattva Maitreya who was a Buddhist savior. So far in history, she has been the only women to rule. She will be buried with the late Emperor Gaozong.
This is great, just needs some polishing.
ReplyDeleteGood work. Just a couple of picky things... Some of your sentences are a little wordy, like the first one, for example. I would not use "we" in the last sentence, in fact, you could just take out the whole first part of that sentence and leave it with, "she will be buried..."
