Chapter 139 Those Empresses

Six Emperor Pills?
Under the sky, I don't know how many people were amused by the fairy's mischievous description.

Liu Che even laughed loudly: "What the fairy said is very true, the six emperor pills, it seems that the Tang Dynasty was really chaotic later, I don't know what kind of mood Erfeng is now."

As one of the three eternal emperors who were mentioned by the fairy at the same time, Liu Che found those two always disliked, and he hated them as much as he could, and scolded them as much as he could.

Who said those two were dragons and phoenixes, but he was a pig.

The first emperor just didn't like Liu Che, not just Liu Che, but he didn't like any emperor of the Han Dynasty.

For Li Shimin, Shi Huang didn't feel much, that is, he was not pleasing to the eye, nor was he pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help nodding: "It is precisely because of allowing women to participate in politics that there is such a chaotic situation. Isn't it wrong for me to suppress women?"

"Many people think that it is because Wu Zetian became the empress, which led to the continuous disputes among Li Tang's clan. In fact, everyone is wrong. The disputes did not start from Wu Zetian, but from the change of Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate, which planted the root of disaster. Without Wu Zetian, there should be chaos or there will be chaos, this is only a matter of time."

Uh?
I want to ask Li Shimin how he feels now.

He didn't know it himself.

"And why did Wu Zetian ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor? And why could he seize Li Tang's kingdom? Isn't it because her sons are incompetent? That Tang Zhongzong was the master who wanted to give the throne to his father-in-law. How dare Wu Zetian let such a fool Is my son sitting in that position? When Wu Zetian was in power, people's lives were better, and she was even more powerful to the outside world. She appointed cruel officials, which was a fault, but her merits far outweighed her faults."

This worry-free comment made Wu Zetian smile.

She raised her wine glass and said, "Thank you so much, fairy. I can't wait to see you."

But the faces of those literati who wrote articles scolding Wu Zetian were quite bad.

Some people read the newly written article and wonder whether it should be disseminated or not.

Worry-free smiled: "In history, there have been many women in power. The Queen Mother Xuan of Qin, the Queen Mother Lu and Dou of the Western Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother Deng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Queen Mother Liu of the Northern Song Dynasty, etc., may be able to ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor. There is Wu Zetian alone."

"But looking at the world, there is more than one woman who has ruled as a woman and has become king and emperor. Let's not talk about the distant days, but the little days next door. From the first Emperor Jimmu to the present, there are historical records There are a total of 127 emperors, and among them there are eight female emperors, and these eight female emperors all had considerable political achievements during their reign."

"what?"

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian couldn't sit still.

When Li Zhi was in power, he and Wu Zetian were both called emperor and empress. In their hearts, the small country next door was just a barbarian land and had never been taken seriously by them. Who knew that they would dare to call themselves emperor.

But those who scolded Wu Zetian harshly only felt their faces hurt.

They didn't know that some countries actually had so many queens.

Wuyou probably felt that the impact they received was not big enough, so he continued: "Before we talk about Tang Gaozong in detail, let's first count the famous empresses in the history of the world."

"Let's not talk about our Empress Zetian. Let's talk about it later. Let's talk about the empresses of other countries."

"The first thing I want to talk about is Cleopatra VII, the Cleopatra we are very familiar with. She reigned from 69 BC to 30 BC, which is equivalent to the period of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty. She She was also the last female pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt.”

"This female pharaoh of ancient Egypt also has many controversies in later generations. Her deeds have been made into a movie, and her popularity is quite high in later generations. When mentioning Egypt, she comes to mind."

"In the records of later generations, she not only temporarily preserved a dynasty with her overwhelming beauty, but also made the kings of the mighty Roman Empire bow down under her pomegranate skirt and willingly serve her."

"Hidden in these rumors of her beauty are actually her intelligence and skills. There is a lot of controversy about her appearance, but what is indisputable is that she is smart, witty, resourceful, and resourceful."

"The Romans hated her because she almost made Rome a province of Egypt, and the Egyptians praised her as a warrior because she won 22 years of peace for a weak Egypt."

Under the sky, many people were fascinated by it.

Many women are full of admiration for this Cleopatra.

A brilliance flashed in Deng Sui's eyes in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Something called ambition grew in her.

Liu E of the Northern Song Dynasty was also thinking about whether she could imitate Wu Zetian.

Time and space in the Red Chamber
Yuan Chun sat in the small room where she lived. The window of the room was open. She looked at the bright moon and the sky outside the window.

On the sky, the fairy's words opened the door to another world for her.

It turns out that there are still many women living such wonderful lives in this world.

Wuyou picked up the water glass: "Queen Zetian, you are not alone."

Wu Zetian also laughed and held the wine glass: "I am not alone." Wuyou continued: "The second one is Elizabeth I. Her name is Elizabeth Petrovna. She is the sixth emperor of the Russian Empire and the third Three queens. Elizabeth I was the daughter of Peter the Great, and her mother was Yekaterina I. After the death of Peter the Great, the throne went through a tumultuous battle, first passed on to Yekaterina I, and then to Peter II After Peter II died, he was succeeded by Elizabeth I's cousin Anna, and after Anna's nephew Ivan VI was in power for a short time, Elizabeth won the support of the military and overthrew Ivan VI's rule, thus ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor."

"Elizabeth I was one of Russia's most popular monarchs. During her reign, she decided not to execute a single person, but also carried out a lot of construction. She also abolished the disreputable cabinet and concentrated power in the Senate."

"During her reign, she abolished domestic tariffs, developed the economy, founded Moscow University, participated in the Seven Years' War, won several victories against Prussia, and briefly occupied Berlin. Unfortunately, when Frederick the Great considered When we surrendered, she died.”

Speaking of this, Wuyou sighed: "This is really a pity. The next one is also the empress of Russia, Catherine II. She is the wife of Peter III. , is the only great emperor of Russia, also known as Catherine the Great. During her reign, she launched two wars against Ottoman Turkey and achieved victory. She divided Poland with other countries three times and annexed Crimea The Khanate made Russia the most powerful country in Europe. She once said that if I lived to be 200 years old, the whole of Europe would be at my feet. Voltaire called her the most dazzling star in the sky of Europe .”

Wuyou's words made people's hairs stand up.

A lot of people are counting, and with the addition of Ekaterina the Great, Russia has four empresses in total, and the most important thing is that this empress did not abolish her son to ascend the throne after the death of her husband. He directly abolished her husband and proclaimed himself emperor. This one is even more powerful than Wu Zetian.

However, some people were thinking that the empress's husband was too weak to allow a woman to ride on her head.

No matter what they think, what Wuyou should say is to continue: "The one I'm going to talk about next is Queen Victoria, Alexandrina Victoria, the only female emperor of India."

Speaking of this, Wuyou paused for a moment, took a sip of water to moisten his throat: "India is also what we call Tianzhu, and Queen Victoria is called the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Queen of India. During her reign, the British national power was unprecedentedly strong. , into the empire on which the sun never sets.”

"Here we want to talk about the empire on which the sun never sets. Why was Britain called the empire on which the sun never set? Because Britain at that time had developed through the Age of Discovery and was known as the most powerful country in the world. Their colonies were all over the world. , the sun never sets on their land, so it is also called the empire where the sun never sets."

Such a sentence shocked countless emperors.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This is common sense and everyone knows it.

So, the sun never sets on the country, so how big is the country? They have land everywhere in the world. This Britain is really too powerful.

Shi Huang clenched his fists excitedly, rarely showing any expression other than rational and calm.

"The sun and the moon shine, all belong to the land of Qin, and I will realize it in the end."

Liu Che's eyes were full of excitement: "Okay, I will eventually attack the Xiongnu in the north, connect with the Western Regions in the west, and even go on an expedition to the sea. Wherever the sun and moon shine, there are my banners of the Han Dynasty, and they all belong to my people of the Han Dynasty."

Li Shimin stood up, looking at the world map sent out by Wuyou on the sky, and the colonies belonging to Britain marked on it, his breathing was a little stagnant.

Such a large land, even Tianzhu has been conquered, what a powerful national power this must be.

So what about the future generations...what will happen to the future generations of China?With such a powerful enemy, can future generations of China be safe?
Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing was rapid, his eyes were wild, and his eyes turned red.

"The body of a woman can do it, but I don't believe that I and my descendants can't do it, and my successors and I will eventually plant the dragon flag of Ming Dynasty in these places."

Zhu Di looked at Zheng He and said, "Have you remembered it? When you go on a long sea voyage, remember to find out what is real and what is real. Take a look at the products of these places and inquire about the humanities and customs. Let's do the easy things first and then the difficult ones. We must educate these places earlier than the British."

Zheng He bowed and said yes.

Wuyou smiled and asked: "See, this is the territory of England in the Victorian era. There is only such a small amount of land in our own country, and such a large place is all colonies that they have laid down."

"Let's talk about the fifth one. The fifth one is Zoditu, the queen of the Solomon Dynasty, the only queen in today's Ethiopian history."

"The sixth and seventh are Empress Zoe and Empress Theodora respectively. As the orthodox direct line of the Macedonian dynasty, Zoe and her sister Theodora came to the throne in 1042."

"The eighth is Li Zhaohuang, named Li Tianxin, the only female emperor in Vietnamese history."

"The ninth is Ekaterina I, the mother of the Queen Elizabeth we mentioned earlier. She was the first queen of the Russian Empire. She was the daughter of a peasant and was captured in the war. She later became the mistress of Peter the Great. , was made empress in 1712, and succeeded to the throne with the support of the Guards after the death of Peter the Great.”

Wuyou talked about here and released all the life stories of these nine empresses.

"You see, there are so many empresses in the world who have left a lasting legacy, and our Empress Zetian is not the only one. So, don't attack her by claiming that some woman is the emperor in the future."

"When evaluating a generation of emperors, we only look at merit and whether she can protect the territory and keep the people safe and prosperous when she is in power, instead of looking at gender or men and women."

"If there could be a female emperor like Empress Zetian in the history of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would not end up in a state where the capital was breached, and two generations of emperors were captured and sent to the Kingdom of Jin for a sheep-raising ceremony."

"The Second Sage of Xuexiang, the Nine Sisters of Wanyan, and the Son of Heaven are all men, but so what? Can they compare to the queens I mentioned earlier? There is another saying in later generations, that is, change the dog to be in power. I am afraid that the Song Dynasty It’s not going to end like that.”

The Song Dynasty's collective defense.

Speaking of the queen, why did they go back to the Song Dynasty again? Could it be that this hurdle cannot be passed.

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

"I have already moved the capital, and I will never let Zhao Guangyi seize the throne. My descendants will not be so hopeless."

Xuexiang Ersheng and Wanyan Jiumei vomited blood collectively.
