Two weeks ago, Emperor Gaozu was proclaimed to be extremely ill, and on his death bed. His family crowded around him, upset by his condition, but anxious to see who he would choose to succeed him in ruling the Empire.
While that was going on, the family heard a blood-curdling scream. It was Empress Wu.
" She was on the floor, sobbing, her beautiful silk robe stained with mixture of tears and blood. In her arms, she was holding her new-born child, a girl. Her eyes were closed and her face was as blue as the summer sky. Empress Wu was weeping so hard, her body shook." Young prince Li Xe said. The Empress, Emperor Gaozu's concubine, accused the Emperor's wife of the crime, of slaughtering her daughter.
Emperor Gaozu was unaware of all this as he was unconscious during the discovery.
"Bless his heart, he does not know anything that happened, Empress Wu said weeping. It was his wretched wife! He promised me I could decided what to do with her, and i have."
The Emperor's wife's arms and legs were amputated the following day.
Wu is now the new Empress. She took over the throne from Emperor Gaozu's son after his death, she appointed her son as emperor, and then she took over herself.
When asked about the change, some peasant farmers answered briskly;
"This Empress is incredible. She's powerful, cunning, and much better than that silly Emperor we had before, that Gaozu! I'm extremely happy he's gone and she's here instead of him!"
The empress became Empress after she amputated the wife of the Emperor. Investigators were on the case, to see if someone else took part in this tragedy. here's what they said:
"We believe, after conducting some research, that the wife of late Emperor Gaozu was not the killer at all. In fact, we believe it to be Empress Wu herself who killed her child and framed the Wife for it. But we dare not say anything. She is Empress now."
Besides the fact of her becoming empress, some of the princes in the royal court, the sons of the Late Emperor, have decided to rebel against this new em[press. They attacked yesterday night, and were found this morning hung.
" The Empress is clearly not someone you'd like to trifle with. But she isn't bad. Quite the contrary, she's generous. Just stay on her good side and all is well."

Okay, I think the perspective of this editorial needs to change a bit. Although you have an interesting lead in with the whole man woman debate, it seems the focus should really be on Empress Wu from the beginning (perhaps arguing that although she is a woman, she is strong, brutal, and in control).
ReplyDeleteYou need to eliminate all of your direct addresses to the readers ("you") For example, in your third paragraph, the "you" you are talking about is really men, so change the perspective to that (if you end up keeping the paragraph at all?)
