What do you think of Empress Wu Zetian?

Personally, I think she is ruthless and unscrupulous in fighting for power and profit. In order to achieve their own goals, even their own infant daughter refused to let go, which can be described as a snake and a scorpion. It is extremely cruel to appoint cruel officials and kill them after seizing power. From the national point of view, she has indeed made outstanding achievements. During this period, she was politically clear, and famous officials came forth in large numbers. Di and Zhang Jian all showed their talents. The national strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the four sides are obedient. With the development of economy, she continued to carry out the land equalization system, reclaimed frontier land and vigorously built water conservancy projects. This laid the foundation for the later Kaiyuan Shi Sheng.
