Chapter 141: The Empresses
Six Emperor Pills?
Under the canopy, I don't know how many people were amused by the fairy's naughty description.
Liu Che laughed even more: "What the fairy said is very true, the six Emperor Pills, it seems that this Tang Dynasty was really chaotic later, I don't know what kind of mood Erfeng is in now." ”
As one of the three emperors of the ages who were mentioned by the fairy at the same time, Liu Che saw that those two were always unpleasant, and he could scold and scold if he could.
Who called those two dragons and phoenixes, but he was pigs.
The first emperor just looked at Liu Che unpleasantly, not just Liu Che, but he couldn't look down on any emperor of the Han Dynasty.
For Li Shimin, the first emperor didn't feel anything, that is, he didn't feel unpleasant, and he didn't like it.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help nodding: "It is precisely because of letting women 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 that this has led to the continuous disputes in the Li Tang clan, but in fact, everyone is wrong, the disputes did not start from Wu Zetian, but from the changes of Li Shimin's Xuanwu Sect, the root of the bane was planted, that is, without Wu Zetian, there should still be chaos, it is only a matter of time before or later."
Belch?
I want to ask Li Shimin what kind of mood he is in now.
He didn't even know about it.
"And why did Wu Zetian ascend the throne and become emperor? Why was he able to take Li Tang Jiangshan? Isn't it because her sons are incompetent, that Tang Zhongzong shouted that he wanted to give the throne to his father-in-law, did Wu Zetian dare to let such a bastard son sit in that position? And when Wu Zetian was in power, the people's lives were relatively good, and they were even more powerful to the outside world. ”
The worry-free comment made Wu Zetian smile.
She raised her glass: "Thank you fairy, I can't wait to see it." ”
But the faces of those literati who wrote articles to scold Wu Zetian were quite bad.
Some people look at the article they just wrote, and they don't know if the article will be spread or not.
Worry-free smiled: "There are many women in power in history, the Empress Dowager of Qin Guoxuan, the Empress Dowager Lu and the Empress Dowager Dou of the Western Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Deng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Liu of the Northern Song Dynasty, etc., but only Wu Zetian can ascend the throne and claim the emperor." ”
"But looking at the world, there is more than one person who is in power as a woman, and is called the emperor and the emperor, let's not talk about it first, it is the small day next door, from the first Emperor Jimmu to the present, there are a total of 127 emperors recorded in history, and there are eight female emperors, and these eight female emperors have quite a lot of 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 called the emperor and queen of heaven, in their hearts, the small country next door was just a barbarian land, and they had never been put in their eyes, who knew that they would dare to call the emperor.
And those who scolded Wu Zetian so badly only felt that their faces hurt.
They didn't know that there would be so many empresses in some countries.
Wu Wu should think that the impact they have received is not big enough, so he continued: "Before talking about Tang Gaozong carefully, let's first count the famous empresses in world history. ”
"Let's not talk about our Empress Zetian first, let's talk about the empresses of other countries later."
"The first thing to talk about is Cleopatra VII, that is, the Cleopatra we are very familiar with, she reigned from 69 BC to 30 BC, which is equivalent to our Western Han Emperor Xuan period, and she was also the last female pharaoh of the Ptolemaic Dynasty in ancient Egypt."
"This female pharaoh of ancient Egypt also had a lot of controversy in later generations, and her deeds were made into movies, and she was also quite well-known in later generations.
"In the accounts of later generations, she not only temporarily preserved a dynasty with her beauty of the country and the city, but also caused the kings of the mighty Roman Empire to bow down under her pomegranate skirt and be willing to serve her."
"And hidden under these bright rumors of her, it is actually her wisdom and skill, and there is a lot of controversy about her appearance, but what is indisputable is that she is smart and witty, and has strategies and means."
"The Romans hated her because she almost turned Rome into a province of Egypt, while the Egyptians praised her as a warrior for winning 22 years of peace for weak Egypt."
Under the canopy, many people listened with fascination.
Many women were full of admiration for Cleopatra.
Eastern Han Dynasty Deng Sui's eyes flashed.
Something called ambition grew in her heart.
And Liu E of the Northern Song Dynasty was also thinking about whether he could follow Wu Zetian's example.
Time and Space of Red Mansions
Yuan Chun sat in the small room where she lived, the window of the room was open, and she looked out the window at the bright moon and the canopy.
On the canopy, the fairy's words opened the door to another world for her.
It turns out that there are still many women in this world who live so wonderfully.
Wu Wu picked up the water cup: "Empress Zetian, you are not alone. ”
Wu Zetian also laughed, holding a wine glass: "I am not alone." ”
"The second is Elizabeth I, whose name is Elizabeth Petrovna, the sixth emperor of the Russian Empire and the third empress. Elizabeth I is the daughter of Peter the Great, and her mother is Catherine I, after the death of Peter the Great, the throne went through a chaotic struggle, first passed to Catherine I, and then to Peter II, after the death of Peter II, it was succeeded by Elizabeth I's cousin Anna, Anna's nephew Ivan VI ruled for a short time, Elizabeth won the support of the military, overthrew the rule of Ivan VI, and thus ascended the throne. ”
"Elizabeth I, one of the most popular monarchs in Russia, during her reign, decided not to execute a single person, and at the same time carried out a large number of constructions, and also abolished the discredited 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 over Prussia, briefly occupied Berlin, and sadly, when Frederick the Great considered surrendering, she died."
Speaking of this, Wuwu sighed: "It's really a pity, the next one is also the empress of Russia, that is, Catherine II, she is the wife of Peter III, the deposed husband succeeded to the throne, and is the only second emperor in Russia, also known as Catherine the Great." During her reign, she launched two victorious wars against Ottoman Turkey, divided Poland three times, and annexed the Crimean Khanate, making Russia the most powerful state in Europe. She once said that if I lived to be 200 years old, all of Europe would be prostrate at my feet, and Voltaire called her the brightest star in the skies over Europe. ”
These carefree words made people's hairs rise.
Many people are calculating, plus this Catherine the Great, there are a total of four empresses in Russia, and the most important thing is that this empress did not abolish her son to ascend the throne after her husband's death, but directly abolished her husband and ascended the throne as emperor, this is even more powerful than Wu Zetian.
However, some people are thinking that the husband of the Empress is too weak to let a woman ride on his head.
No matter what they thought, Sanssouci should have continued: "The next one is Queen Victoria, Yarisandrina Victoria, the only female emperor of India. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Wu paused for a moment and took a sip of water to moisten his throat: "India is what we call Tianzhu, and Queen Victoria is known as the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Empress of India. During her reign, she made Britain an unprecedented national power, and entered 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 sets? Because Britain at that time after the development of the Age of Discovery, known as the most powerful country in the world, their colonies are all over the world, and the sun never sets from their land, so it is also known as the empire on which the sun never sets. ”
Such a sentence shocked many emperors.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, this is common sense, and anyone knows it.
So, the sun never sets on the land, how big is the land area, isn't it that there are their lands everywhere in the world, and this Britain is really too powerful.
The First Emperor clenched his fists excitedly, and it was rare to show an expression other than that of reason and calmness.
"Whatever the sun and the moon shine on, it is all Qin soil, and I will eventually realize it."
Liu Che's eyes were full of brilliance: "Okay, I will eventually attack the Xiongnu in the north, connect the Western Regions in the west, and go on an expedition to the sea. ”
Li Shimin stood up, he looked at the world map sent out by the canopy of the sky, as well as the colonies marked on it that belonged to the United Kingdom, and his breath was a little stagnant.
Such a big country, even Tianzhu has conquered, what a powerful national strength it must be.
And what about the Hereafter...... What will happen to the future generations of China? With such a powerful enemy, will future generations of China be able to be safe?
Zhu Yuanzhang was short of breath, his eyes were feverish, and his eyes turned red.
"A woman's body can do it, I don't believe that I and my descendants can't do it, and I and my successors will eventually plant the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty in these places."
Zhu Di looked at Zheng He: "Have you written it down, go to sea and sail, remember to find out the truth and the truth, look at the products of these places, and inquire about the humanities and customs. ”
Zheng He bowed to be.
Carefree smiled and asked: "See, this is the territory of Victorian Britain, and there is only such a small amount of land in their own country, and such a big place is a colony that people have conquered." ”
"Now for the fifth, the fifth is Zorditu, the Empress of the Solomon Dynasty, the only Empress in the history of Ethiopia today."
"The sixth and seventh were Empress Zoe and Empress Theodora, respectively, and Zoe ascended the throne in 1042 as the legitimate descendant of the Macedonian dynasty with his sister Theodora."
"The eighth is Emperor Li Chao, named Li Tien Xin, the only female emperor in the history of Vietnam."
"The ninth is Catherine I, the mother of Empress Elizabeth, the first empress of the Russian Empire, the daughter of a peasant, captured in the war, and later became the mistress of Peter the Great, who was made empress in 1712, and succeeded to the throne after the death of Peter the Great with the support of the Guard."
Worry-free talked about it here, and released all the life deeds of these nine empresses.
"See, there are so many empresses in the world who have left a mark on history, and our Empress Zetian is really not the only one, so don't attack her with any woman as emperor in the future."
"To evaluate a generation of emperors, let's only talk about merit, only to see whether she can protect the territory when she is in power, and whether she can ensure the safety and prosperity of the people, rather than talking about gender, men and women."
"If there was a female emperor like Empress Zetian in the history of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would not end up with a country capital that was breached, and both generations of emperors were captured and sent to the Jin Kingdom for a sheep ceremony."
"The second saint of Snow Township, the ninth sister of Wanyan, and the son of heaven are all men, but so what? Can they compare to the empresses I talked about earlier? There is also a saying in later generations, that is, if you change the dog to govern, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will not fall to such a point. ”
The collective defense of the Song Dynasty was broken.
said that the empress, why did she go back to their Great Song Dynasty again, can't you get over this hurdle?
Zhao Kuangyin was even more angry, his face was red, and his neck was thick.
"I am already about to move the capital, and I will never let Zhao Guangyi take the throne, and my descendants will not be so seedless."
The second saint of Snow Township and the ninth sister of Wanyan collectively vomited blood at this time.
