After a rare victory in a war, the fighting spirit of both the people and the court of Jingguo was unprecedentedly high, reaching the peak in the past ten years.
Although Qi Guo's move did not cause any substantial damage to Jing Guo, it greatly affected this kind of fighting spirit and enthusiasm. Moreover, this time, they are conducting an upright "cultural exchange", even if their side loses, they cannot proceed. Retaliation, otherwise, it would be really embarrassing and loss of identity.
This time, the strength of Qi State once again refreshed the public's perception.
It's just a few unknown people who have defeated the top existence in all aspects of Jingguo. What kind of background is this
Of course, as to whether or not those people are unknown in the Qi country, they are not from the Qi country, but they are not very clear.
Li Yi put a few pieces of tofu in again, writing poems and playing chess or something, if you lose, you lose.
What's more, Jing Guo has just seized two other cities, so he doesn't allow him to come over to regain some ground
It was the day that Qin Xiang and Ren fell ill from arguing about the scriptures, and it was a pity not to be there to see it with their own eyes. Li Yi reached out to pick up his own tofu, and asked casually: "Didn't you say that everyone in the court is arguing about the establishment of the crown prince?" , what's the result now?"
Li Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and said: "Whether to establish a crown prince has always been a matter for the royal family. When will it be someone else's turn to dictate? If it weren't for the emperor father who has always actively listened to the opinions of all officials for the sake of stability in the court, and never acted arbitrarily. How can there be the arrogance of today?"
Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness has such a domineering side, Li Yi forgot to chew, and almost burned his mouth with tofu.
I couldn't help giving her a thumbs up and said, "I feel more and more that you have the talent to be an emperor."
A timid and indecisive emperor may be a benevolent emperor, but he is unlikely to become a wise emperor. When he should be domineering, he must be domineering, otherwise what is the point of being an emperor
On this point, what the old emperor did was still lacking, not even as good as His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.
Li Mingzhu glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how can a woman be an emperor in this world?"
"What's wrong with women, are women born to be inferior to dwarves?" Li Yi said while scrambling to eat tofu with Princess Shouning: "Whether it is a man or a woman, they are born equal. Your thinking like this is bad!"
Princess Shouning agreed with Li Yi's words very much, and nodded repeatedly, but the snatching movements in her hands became faster.
These days, saying that beggars and emperors are born equal will be labeled disrespectful to the emperor, but for Her Royal Highness, who has long awakened her feminist consciousness, she never thinks that men are more noble than women.
"It's different." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said, "From ancient times to the present, has there ever been a woman—in short, women are not allowed to be emperors."
"Who says women can't be emperors?" Li Yi wondered why this girl is so stubborn, snatched the last piece of tofu from Princess Shouning's chopsticks, looked up at her and asked, "Haven't you heard of Wu Zetian?" ?”
"Wu Zetian?" A trace of doubt appeared on Li Mingzhu's face. After thinking for a while, she still didn't remember the name, and said, "Who is Wu Zetian?"
"I haven't even heard of Wu Zetian..." Li Yi only spoke halfway, and suddenly realized a problem.
This is a completely different world from the one he is familiar with. The former Tang Dynasty existed in just a few decades before it was torn apart. The emperor of the ages passed away before he had time to complete his career, and what happened later was similar to another world The prosperous Tang Dynasty is very different.
The former Tang Dynasty was completely defeated by the next few emperors, and Sister Wu had no chance to show the demeanor of the empress. In the history books that Li Yi read, this name did not even appear.
"Uh... nothing." After realizing this, Li Yi shook his head and said.
"Inexplicable..." Li Mingzhu glanced at him and picked up the chopsticks. Li Yi and Princess Shouning only felt a flash in front of their eyes, and the tofu they were fighting for just now ran into her bowl.
One of them rolled his eyes at her, expressing strong condemnation and solemn protest against this kind of bullying with martial arts. After condemning and protesting, he turned his attention to other things in the pot.
In the following time, Her Royal Highness did not speak much, Li Yi thought she had forgotten what happened just now...
Until a certain moment, Her Royal Highness put down the jade bowl, looked at Li Yi, and asked seriously: "Who is Wu Zetian?"
"—" Li Yi suddenly felt that he was about to do something extraordinary.
…
…
"Crack down on powerful families, develop imperial examinations, reuse poor families, and create a world of 'Great Rule'..." Li Mingzhu looked at Li Yi, "Women are emperors, can we really do this?"
In fact, as the first female emperor in history, later generations gave her mixed reviews, but her achievements cannot be denied.
The dawn of the strongest empire in China for thousands of years, after the heroic founding of the country by Gaozu Taizong's gold and iron horse and the rule of Zhenguan, after Gaozong and Empress Wu continued to succeed, it was finally in the hands of Xuanzong, the prosperity of the Kaiyuan, and the opening of China for thousands of years From the inside to the outside, the nation is magnificent, looking down on the world, swallowing the world, like the sun in the sky...
In any case, as the only female emperor in history, she may have achieved the ultimate that a woman can do.
A trace of doubt and bewilderment appeared on Li Mingzhu's pretty face, she looked at Li Yi and asked, "Which dynasty, which emperor are you talking about, why have I never heard of it?"
"—"
"Haha, I just said it casually. How can there be such a dynasty? You don't really believe it?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile, and said: "Thank you for the hospitality, I will go back first, next time Have a chance to invite you to dinner again..."
"Okay, okay!" Princess Shouning showed a smile on her small face, immediately cheered up, and shouted while chasing after her: "Don't rush away, let's make it clear when I invite you..."
Glancing at Yong Ning who was yelling and running out after Li Yi, Li Mingzhu looked away and fell into deep thought on the fire in front of him.
The great prosperity of the aristocratic family has penetrated deeply into the court. In order to get rid of the aristocratic politics, the father and emperor have also deliberately reused the poor family officials for so many years, but they have only achieved little results. The dynasty Li Yi just mentioned is here. In one point, it is no different from Jingguo, but Jingguo and even the emperors of previous dynasties have not accomplished the great feat, how did the woman do it
She knows how she does it.
Because Li Yi has already explained it in great detail just now.
"Wu Zetian..."
In June of the second year of Jinghe, Her Royal Highness Princess Chang stood at the gate of Chenlu Palace, and said such a name when the warm sun in the morning jumped out from the top of the opposite palace.
