During Wu Zetian's reign, he changed his country name to Da Zhou. What has she done to benefit the people?

Wu Zetian is the first real queen in China since ancient times. During her reign, she changed the name of her country to Zhou and established her capital in Luoyang. Historically, she was called Wu Zhou or Nan Zhou. Apart from being a queen, Wu Zetian is also a poetess and an excellent politician. One of her main achievements is that she inherited the rule of Zhenguan and inspired the prosperity of Kaiyuan. She is an outstanding female king. In addition, many things have been done to benefit the people, such as carrying out the imperial examination system and cracking down on the gate valve.

First, continue to implement the imperial examination system. After she ascended the throne, Wu Zetian inherited the system of the previous kings, continued to follow the imperial examination system, and appointed a large number of virtuous ministers to govern the world. Therefore, she is famous in history for knowing people and making good use of them. And later generations commented that Wu Zetian's court was full of gentlemen. Why do you say that? Judging from the phenomenon that famous talents such as Di Renjie and Lou Deye are on the list, it is not flattering to say so. She initiated a variety of imperial examination systems such as martial arts and examiners. The introduction of this system has given a large number of scholars from poor backgrounds the opportunity to display their talents and change their lives in their official careers. It was in this way that talents were used regardless of their origins, which made Wu Zetian prosperous during his reign. Therefore, all the officials at that time were happy to work for Wu Zetian.

Second, vigorously crack down on Wu Zetian, the gate valve. Before she officially succeeded to the throne, when she was the queen of Li Zhi, she expelled Sun Chang Wuji to the frontier. Although in the eyes of the world, it is an unreasonable behavior to kill chickens and respect monkeys. However, in fact, this has dealt a great blow to the children and their families, driving them out of the political arena, which shows that it has dealt a certain blow to their interests. At the same time, it was of great benefit to Wu Zetian's later establishment of the rule of Zhou Dynasty, which created very good conditions for social progress and economic development. Not only that, people live in poverty, but also live and work in peace.

A historical figure, we can't evaluate him from one side. Everyone has two sides and has made meritorious deeds. Just like Wu Zetian, although she was cruel and harsh during her reign, she did let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the court prospered. Therefore, we can't superficially say that Wu Zetian is a tyrant.
