On February 9, 2005, Wu Zetian was in power for 50 years, from queen to emperor. On the whole, she was a talented feudal ruler. During her reign, the politics, economy and culture of the Tang Dynasty were developing. Her achievements are mainly manifested in the following three aspects:
(1) Continue the reform, break the situation that the gentry in Guanlong (now Shaanxi and Gansu) controlled politics, and introduce civilian landlords to participate in the political power. This practice was progressive at that time.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the ruling group was mainly Guanlong gentry. When Wu Zetian seized power, it was this group that opposed her. For example, the representatives of this school, Sun Chang Wuji and Chu Suiliang, strongly opposed Wu Zetian as a queen, thinking that she was born in poverty and was not qualified to be a queen. After Wu Zetian became queen, they were demoted and died one after another. After Tang Gaozong's death, Wu Zetian obeyed the court, and Xu Jingye and others opposed Wu Zetian in Yangzhou. Later, Li Zhen, the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty, also set up troops in Henan, Shandong and other places. Has been suppressed by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian suppressed the political opposition even more cruelly, killing hundreds of nobles and ministers in the Tang Dynasty. Many of these people who were killed were Guanlong cremation or belonged to Guanlong cremation. Since then, Guanlong cremation has declined.
(2) Reuse common scholars. Wu Zetian reused civilian scholars and took the following three important measures. First, when she was a queen, Tang Gaozong ordered that the "family record" be changed to "family name record". Genealogy was compiled by Emperor Taizong. Although the content of the Tang Dynasty was graded according to the officials and nobles, it paid great attention to whether it belonged to the gentry, and the old concept of the gentry was very strong. The record of surnames eliminated the boundaries of the gentry, and was completely recorded according to the competition in Gong Pin, which improved the political and social status of the humble commoner officials. Secondly, Wu Zetian further promoted the imperial examination system, passed the examination and hired talents. Many of them come from common people. Third, Wu Zetian is unconventional in employing people. For example, she asked officials and people above grade nine to recommend themselves. Wu Zetian did select a group of talents, such as her famous figures Di Renjie and Zhang Jian, and later the famous figures Yao Ai and Song Tuo in Kaiyuan period were all reused or selected by her.
(3) Attach importance to the development of agricultural production. Wu Zetian has ordered many times to persuade farmers to teach mulberry and reward local officials for attaching importance to developing agricultural production. County governors whose land has been reclaimed and whose families have surplus grain can be promoted. State and county officials who abuse their powers and have scattered accounts will be punished. During this period, the social economy has developed greatly. Judging from the increase of registered permanent residence, the registered permanent residence was 3.8 million when Emperor Taizong was in power, and it had increased to 6 10/00000 in the last year of Wu Zetian's rule.
During the reign of Wu Zetian, there were also many problems. She hired a group of brutal officials, such as Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and Suo Yuanli, and killed many innocent people through their involvement. She employs too many people, has too many redundant staff, has a huge bureaucracy, believes in Buddhism and overhauls temples, which has added a heavy burden to the people. Land annexation is serious, and many farmers go bankrupt and flee.

Answer: Brooks.

On February 9th, 2005, Wu Zetian was the emperor in the history of China, and there was only one Wu Zetian in history. but
For thousands of years, people praised her, but they could not do without condemnation. However, in my humble opinion, many accusations are fabricated and imposed crimes.
People always say that Wu Zetian is a woman who is keen on power and an ambitious conspiracy to do whatever it takes for power.
Home, this sentence is only half right. Wu Zetian/Kloc-entered the palace at the age of 0/4. She was in her youth, beautiful and intelligent, but she was not loved by Emperor Taizong. She knelt down and became a 10 talent for many years. After Taizong's death, she was sent to Kanye Temple to be a nun for five years. How could she do this?
Can you not lament the injustice of heaven? Fortunately, when she was a talented person, she met Li Zhi and made the future emperor right.
She was determined to take her out of Kanye Temple and make her a Zhao Yi after she ascended the throne.
After waiting for Li Zhi for many years, how could a smart woman like Wu Zetian be willing to be only a Zhao Yi? After more than ten years of court life, she knows the cruelty of the harem. In order to protect herself and satisfy her pent-up desire for more than ten years, she must obtain the position of queen. Li Zhi is an affectionate and cowardly person. He is almost several years older than Wu Zetian.
Do as you say. Only one year after she came out of Ganye Temple, she squeezed out the Queen Wang and started her power career.
Li Zhi is not only weak, but also not good at governing the country at all. When he discovered Wu Zetian's talent and courage, he almost put
All government affairs are given to her, and Wu Zetian enjoys it-few people will say no to power! Especially talented women like Wu Zetian would seize every opportunity in that feudal era.
After Li Zhi's death, Wu Zetian's "backer" collapsed, and those officials who had been secretly dissatisfied with her before, but were afraid of Li Zhi's acquiescence and dared not openly resist, were bound to move. Wu Zetian will never give up power. This woman with a big appetite dares to challenge feudal customs and claim the title of emperor. This is the first half of Wu Zetian's life, during which she constantly challenged feudalism and consolidated her power.
After Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, she made great efforts to govern and make good use of talents, and managed the whole country in an orderly way, which is worthy of being one.
A wise emperor. Throughout history, few people can match it.
However, when people evaluate her, they always ignore these things intentionally or unintentionally and focus on other places, such as her.
Dictatorship and chaotic private life. It should be noted that Wu Zetian is still a woman no matter how powerful she is. In that era when women were extremely depressed, it was really a big violation to make her emperor. No matter how she manages this country, she is still a thorn in many people's side. So in order to stabilize the country, she had to adopt a high-handed policy, which was really a last resort. As for her private life, it is actually a small problem, but many people can't tolerate a woman having "three wives and four concubines" and deliberately vilify her. Wu Zetian is also a person and a bold woman. Why can't she have emotional and sexual desires? Perhaps it is her identity that makes her feel empty. After the state affairs, she has to turn her energy, just for adjustment. Besides, she doesn't have much Toy Boy, does she? Only Xue Huaiyi and Zhang Yizhi brothers, etc. , are not as good as the three thousand makeup of emperors. On the other hand, by raising Toy Boy, she is also showing her imperial power to the world, showing her the same power as men.
In a word, Wu Zetian was a brave and promising emperor, a woman who dared to do and be brave, which was unparalleled in that era.
A landscape painting. Maybe someone will question me, because Wu Zetian strangled her daughter herself. I really can't find anything to defend her on this point. I can only say that perhaps the cruel competition for survival in court forced her to do so, only after no woman hated her daughter. Besides, gold is not always barefoot, and no one is perfect. Who has no shortcomings?
The above is just my personal simple evaluation of Wu Zetian. If you have a deeper view of her, you can take it out and communicate!
