Is Wu Zetian a bad person?

Wu Zetian, whose real name is Wu Zhao, is the only female emperor in the history of China. I have many comments on Wu Zetian's achievements in history, with mixed opinions. She and Tang Gaozong were buried together. Tang Gaozong's inscription has more than 5,000 words, but Wu Zetian's own inscription didn't leave a word. Personally, it is because Wu Zetian's own life is half and half, and it is difficult to evaluate her life with inscriptions.

Wu Zetian is a bad person?

As the first female emperor in history, in that patriarchal era, if we want to consolidate our rule, we must have tough means. According to historical records, Wu Zetian ordered a report box to be set up in front of Weizicheng in Luoyang, and anyone can do the above things through this box. This practice made the wind of informers prevail in the imperial court, forming an atmosphere of mutual suspicion and fear. At the same time, for those who are sent to prison, they will be tortured to extract confessions and get out of prison alive, and only one or two cruel officials will be appointed. At the same time, she was partial to Toy Boy herself, allowing her to interfere in state affairs and buy and sell official honors, which deepened political corruption. In order to master the ruling power of the country, she even poisoned her own son, who was sealed as a prince.

Wu Zetian is a good person?

During Wu Zetian's reign, he vigorously developed the imperial examination system, established the imperial examination system and started martial arts, so that talented people had more opportunities to be officials. In agriculture, she reduced taxes and vigorously developed agriculture. During her reign, the population increased obviously, which was convenient for consolidation and development, laid the foundation for the arrival of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and played a connecting role between the "rule of Zhenguan" and the "prosperous era of Kaiyuan".

To sum up, Wu Zetian is a legendary historical figure. Wu Ze's performance before and when she came to power seemed to show that she was a cruel and scheming tyrant, but she brought unprecedented prosperity to the country. Mr. Guo Moruo has a poem in Wu Zetian's Fu: Guan Kaiyuan governs macro chastity, and Ya Jianting is light for the country. As the saying goes, every 1000 people have 1000 hamlets. For an emperor like Wu Zetian, whose historical achievements are difficult to evaluate, perhaps the tablet without words is really a good choice.
