Chapter 242: The Empress Is Three Years Old (Part II)

Shi Bufan came to see the warrior Tong this time, in fact, in addition to communicating with this warrior in advance, he also had an idea, that is, to meet his second daughter. And his second daughter www.biquge.info the famous empress Wu Zetian in history, is the only orthodox female emperor in Chinese history and the woman with the highest status in Chinese history. The history of this Wu Zetian can almost be said to be a legend, her life is full of fame and slander, and even his merits and demerits have not been really settled for many years after her death. Historians of various dynasties have mixed reviews of her, but in the Tang Dynasty there were more praises than derogations. However, after the Song Dynasty, it was obviously more derogatory than praised. Until later generations again praised more than degraded.

Even in later generations, there are many legends about Wu Zetian, all kinds of romances about Wu Zetian, and all kinds of things about his private life. However, as a female politician, the most talked about is not their achievements, but their private lives. Even talking about whether Merkel of Germany and Margaret Thatcher of England should cook breakfast for their husbands is a matter of concern, but little is said about their political achievements.

For Wu Zetian's evaluation, Shi Bufan is the least convinced, especially the content written by Wu Zetian in the Song Dynasty, the cliff is almost all fakes. Those historical books of the Song Dynasty and the part of the history books written about Wu Zetian about the Tang Dynasty are all fakes, accounting for the vast majority. In the New Tang Dynasty book, it is said that after Wu Zetian killed Concubine Xiao Shu, her two daughters were almost forty years old and were not able to marry. But if you count it according to age, then Li Zhi was only forty-four years old at that time, could it be that he gave birth to two daughters when he was about seven years old? This thing is also too funny, and I don't even find a reason to slander it. And Sima Guang's Zizhi Tongjian said that when Wu Zetian killed Concubine Xiao Shu, Concubine Xiao Shufei said that she would become a cat in the next life and come to Wu Zetian for revenge, and then from then on, Wu Zetian ordered that the palace would not continue to raise cats. However, this Sima Guang actually slapped himself in the face, also in Zizhi Tongjian, but he mentioned a sentence in the Tang Dynasty Wu Zetian's words, that is, "the Queen Mother is fond of cats", and then what happened because of a cat. This Sima Guang actually slapped himself in the face, so it's really no wonder that others think it's fake.

Therefore, Shi Bufan thinks that the Song Dynasty about many court affairs in the Tang Dynasty is simply like a novel! What Princess Gaoyang and the debate monk, those are actually written by those official "novelists" of the Song Dynasty. The old Tang Dynasty books and various pre-Song Dynasty documents did not mention these Song Dynasty things, so this caused later generations to think that the Tang Dynasty was full of "Tang turtles". Well, of course, there were indeed some "Tang turtles" in the Tang Dynasty, but they were deliberately magnified by the Song Dynasty, specifically grasping these palace affairs, deliberately not mentioning those achievements, and just seizing the palace affairs to discredit Wu Zetian and other women.

"Hey, you can't discredit others in terms of political achievements, so you can discredit other people's private lives, those historians of the Song Dynasty! No wonder those guys in the Song Dynasty were so parallel and didn't have any open-minded ideas. I feel that I can't compare to the glory of those women in the Tang Dynasty when they were in power, and they can't surpass Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty in terms of political performance, which makes them very faceless as men. It is undeniable in terms of political achievements, that is, to discredit in private life, and this method is simply a politician in vain. I don't even have the courage to accept the facts, and I can't compare to others looking for fault in other people's private lives, so that I can prove that I am good. Isn't it the opposite of a politician's private life to discredit him? Shi Bufan complained in his heart.

"Qing'er, Shuang'er, come over and see Shi Xiannan. Shi County Man is my Tang Dynasty hero, in the future, you have to learn more from Shi County Man, and you can become a pillar of talent in the future! Samurai said.

"I've seen the county man!" Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang said together.

Of course Shi Bufan knows these two guys, these two guys are actually Wu Zetian's brothers, Wu Zetian's half-brothers. Wu Shitong's original wife died, and later Li Yuan introduced him to a wife, Yang, who was a distant relative of the Sui Dynasty royal family, and then gave birth to Wu Shun, Wu Zetian also had three daughters, and gave birth to three daughters in a row, and it was really good luck and bad luck. In ancient times, if a woman did not give birth to a son, it was very tragic in her old age, especially the kind of woman who was the continuation of the string, and the son born to another woman was the eldest son and had priority. And if you don't have a son, once your husband burps and it's not your own son who inherits the family business, then you're unlucky. And fortunately, she gave birth to the only orthodox female emperor in China, so she was lucky.

So after Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang inherited their father's position, they immediately drove Wu Zetian away, but after Wu Zetian became the queen, they also took revenge on them fiercely, so that they were not miserable.

"Hmm!" Shi Bufan nodded at them and didn't say much.

"Wu Shangshu, where is your second daughter?" Samurai Tong wondered again.

Just now, Shi Bufan said that he wanted to see his second daughter, but Wu Shi Tong didn't know what it meant. However, Samurai Tong just took it as a joke, so he didn't care. He just let his two sons come out and meet Shi Bufan, hoping to let Shi Bufan "take care" of them in the future. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take care of my son, so I hope to get to know more people, and then let someone else take care of my son in the future. However, Shi Bufan obviously didn't care about his two sons, and still wanted to see his second daughter. In this way, Samurai Tong really believed that Shi Bufan wanted to come to see his second daughter.

"The little girl is only three years old, may I ask why the county man wants to see her?" Samurai asked.

Shi Bufan didn't answer directly, just said: "It's okay, I just want to meet!" ”

Samurai thought for a moment and said, "Okay then! ”

Although it was a little inappropriate to let his inner family come out to meet outsiders, Wu Shi Tong thought about it for a while and agreed. Because the etiquette during the Tang Dynasty was not so strict, although there was a certain etiquette, for example, the inner family would not easily come out to meet outsiders, but it was not absolute. For example, on some important occasions, not only can you not bring your inner family, but you should bring your inner family to show grandeur and respect. So just now, Wusheng didn't let his wife Yang and daughter come out, but under Shi Bufan's repeated requests, they all agreed. Anyway, what else can I do when I meet my daughter?

Soon a woman came over with two girls, one about four years old and the other about three years old. Shi Bufan quickly recognized that Wu Shun, the eldest sister Wu Shun who was about four years old, should be Wu Zetian, because she was obviously much taller than another three-year-old girl. In this kind of childhood, it is the time of the fastest growth and development, often one year older, and the height difference is not small. Four-year-olds are obviously different from three-year-olds, which is the reason why Shi Bufan can see it at a glance. Another girl who is about three years old may be the historical Wu Zetian. Shi Bufan gradually walked to Wu Zetian's side, and then took the initiative to speak.

"Ma'am, can I hug her?" Shi Bufan asked.

Wu Shi Tong's wife Yang didn't dare to agree casually, but still looked at Wu Shi Tong. After the samurai Tong nodded, the Yang clan also nodded.

Shi Bufan picked up Wu Zetian, and then asked, "Little lady, how old are you this year?" ”

"I'm four years old!" Wu Zetian said.

"Children should be honest, you should only be three years old, right?" Shi Bufan said.

"I'm four years old, four years old!" Wu Zetian replied.

Only then did Shi Bufan notice that the ancient times were imaginary years, and he had never had this concept of imaginary years, so there was this misunderstanding.

"Do you have a name?" Shi Bufan asked.

Wu Zetian shook his head, obviously there is still no name.

"I haven't named them yet, because it doesn't matter if the girl is named late!" Samurai said.

Wu Shi Tong means that it doesn't matter if the girl's name is late, that is because women's names are rarely recorded in the history books, in fact, Wu Zetian's original name has not been recorded in the history books. Wu Zetian's well-known name "Wu Meiniang" is actually a "name" given by Li Shimin, not his original name. And the name Wu Cao was made by her after she became the emperor, using her own table word "Mingkong" to make words, so that the sun and the moon appear to be authoritative. As for the three words "Wu Zetian", it comes from her nickname "Zetian Great Sage Empress".

So no one knows Wu Zetian's real name at all, and there were many such things in ancient times. Women's names are often not taken seriously, even the real name of Empress Changsun has not been recorded, and there are actually very few women who can leave their names in the history books. For example, Wei Qi and Wei Guifei can leave their names, which is very lucky. It is precisely because there are few left in the history books that the names of girls are often not too anxious and not too important in ancient times, and there are not a few girls who have no names at the age of three or four.

"Wu Shangshu, why don't I give him a name?" Shi Bufan asked.

Samurai Tong said casually: "Okay, it is her honor to be named by Shi Xian man." ”

"That's it, I named this second daughter Wu Meiniang, and the word is Mingkong?" Shi Bufan said.

"Yes, yes!" Samurai said.

Obviously, Samurai Tong doesn't care, a girl's name is not important, most of the girl's name has no chance to be recorded in the history books, who doesn't start it? So it's in vain, but if it's your own son, you must pay attention to it, because the son represents the family inheritance and the future development of the family business, and I dare not ignore it.

"I want it too, I want it too!" The eldest daughter of the samurai Tong was obviously unwilling, and obviously wanted a "name" too.

"Shi County man, don't bother the second master, you can also name my eldest daughter!" Samurai said.

Obviously, Wu Shitong still didn't notice that Shi Bufan's focus was on the second daughter, not someone else. He subconsciously thought that the eldest daughter and the second daughter had the same status in Shi Bufan's eyes, so since he named the second daughter, it was not good not to name the eldest daughter. Otherwise, the second daughter has a name, and the eldest daughter has no name, so what's this called!

"That's it, then it's okay to have a single name 'Shun', how about the table word 'Ming Ze'?" Shi Bufan said.

"Good!" Samurai agreed.

Both girls are more happy, because they have a name, and in the past, they were looked down upon without a name, but now that they have a name, their status can be improved a lot.

Shi Bufan casually took out a piece of jade pendant, and then said directly to Wu Meiniang: "Miss Meiniang, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can take this jade pendant to my place of residence to find me, or go to my family, and my family and I will do our best to help you." If you have any difficulties, you can come here. This is a jade pendant left by my mother, an heirloom left to me, which should be used as proof. ”

When the samurai heard this, he suddenly wanted to say, "Female ......"

Wu Shi Tong hadn't finished speaking, and Wu Meiniang hurriedly grabbed it, obviously liking this jade pendant very much.

"Mei Niang, hurry up and return it to Shi County Man!" Samurai said.

"No, I like it very much!" Wu Meiniang said.

And the surrounding Yang clan and Wu Shi Tong all looked at Shi Bufan with a ghost-like look, obviously as if Shi Bufan had a problem.

"Any questions?" Shi Bufan asked.

Yang hurriedly said: "Shi County man, it's not good for you to do this, right?" Since it's a family heirloom given to you by Ling Ci, it's not appropriate to do this, right? I guess you'd better take it back! ”

"No need, this jade pendant is worthless, it has no value, it's good to use it as a souvenir!" Shi Bufan replied.

Shi Bufan really didn't care, because Shi Bufan knew that this jade pendant was really worthless, because Shi Bufan's original ontology was just a small landlord, not a big landlord of the Shi clan, and it was not strange to have a jade pendant that was not too valuable. Now Shi Bufan can't look down on the value of this jade pendant, and he leaked some oil and water from his fingers, which is much more valuable than this jade pendant. So he doesn't value the value of this jade pendant

Of course, as for saying that this jade pendant was left to him by his ontological mother, he didn't care about this. Because he doesn't pay much attention to the parents of this so-called ontology, his parents have passed away after Shi Bufan's crossing, so he naturally has no feelings. If he has deep feelings for an ontological parent who has died after crossing over, then he is completely. He actually doesn't have any feelings for his ontological parents at all, and he can't have a relationship with other women when he is filial, but Shi Bufan doesn't abide by it, because he really has no feelings, and it's good to be able to not marry for this so-called parent for 27 months, how can he still receive this restriction and have a relationship with other women?

He also goes to sweep the tomb every year during the Qingming Festival, and just does his "obligation", but in fact, he has no feelings in his heart at all. This is not an extraordinary "cold", it's like you let a person who didn't give birth to you and raised you, and you haven't even met you, call your parents, how do you feel?

So he didn't pay much attention to this jade pendant, and directly gave it away.

"I-" The samurai tried to say something, but he seemed to be choked. (To be continued.) )
