【Tang Dynasty TV series】

[The Tang Dynasty was the most friendly dynasty to women, so many extraordinary women emerged, because this was the best soil for nurturing them.

The woman sitting in the upper seat had a dignified look on her face. She said to the people below, "I ordered the three of them to investigate the case with you, but during the trial, they retreated to the back hall. Why is that?"

An old minister holding a tablet said, "It's because they are women with makeup on."

"Women can't enter the front hall?"

"The court is where the law is majestic. This woman..."

"Don't women have dignity?"

The Queen spoke word by word, and the rhetorical questions in her words made people sweat profusely.

Facing the three women in their skirts and hairpins, she said, "You three standing together are a delight to the eyes, much more pleasing to the eyes than those old men in the court."

...

One of them said, "It is human nature to desire life and fear death. Even a humble official cannot understand it."

"Are you afraid of death too?"

"Yes, I am afraid of death, but I am more afraid of dying worthlessly."

Looking at the general with impatience written all over his face, she asked, "You hate women? Why?"

"The truth of a real man!"

"I wonder where your anger comes from?"]

Seeing that there was a woman in the court, everyone was surprised, but then they remembered that there had been female emperors in history, so they calmed down and looked at the sky again.

"There really is a female emperor."

"Of course. We don't know about the later dynasties, but later generations do. I wonder what the scene was like then."

"I guess this empress must have used drastic means, otherwise how could she ascend to the throne?"

"Looking at the light curtain, it seems to be the court of the time as shown in the TV series. This dynasty is called the Tang Dynasty. Speaking of which, the Tang Dynasty has been mentioned many times."

……

Li Zhi looked at the empress on the sky curtain. Although he had a smile on his face, his fingers were grasping Wu Zetian's hand beside him. Although it was not the first time that the sky curtain mentioned it, it still seemed a little unreal. He said in a leisurely tone: "Mei Niang, the future empress, is so amazing!"

Although it was the first time that Wu Zetian heard Tianmu introduce her identity as the empress so formally, she was a little nervous in her heart. The current emperor could not do without her, and the court needed the two of them to work together.

Li Shimin saw with his own eyes that the future empress was really his Tang Dynasty, and he was depressed. No, why was it his Tang Dynasty? It would be fine if it happened in other dynasties, at least he could have fun. But who could laugh if it happened to him?

Your Majesty Erfeng: [grievance.jpg]

[“You haven’t seen Xie Yaohuan’s report, so how can you say it is a woman’s opinion and absurd? First take a good look at these two reports, and then speak according to your conscience.” The Queen did not underestimate the power of women.

"I dare not speak rashly. This trip will definitely clear the fog in Guanzhong, but I beg to be a stone to ask for directions and break the stagnant water in Qizhou. Your Majesty has always been independent and has set a precedent for all ages. How could she care about some ordinary taboos?"

"As an ordinary woman, you dare to perform an autopsy in the middle of the night. Don't you have any fear?" the Queen asked her.

"Everyone has fear in their heart. In order to find clues, we must put aside our fear. Because if this mystery is not solved, the situation where the living are wronged and the dead die in vain cannot be solved. If the real culprit is not revealed, I am afraid that there will be new ghosts on the road to the underworld."

Someone asked her, "How high is your official rank?"

"I can't be any smaller. It is precisely because of my lowly position that I come to ask you to help me. You should take charge of your own affairs. This seems to be something you should be in charge of."

"Finding out the truth is equally important to the living and the dead. Justice is clear, and we must entrust someone to give an explanation."】

[“Yao Huan thought that as long as she could bring some benefit to the people, she would die without regrets. She would let others judge her right and wrong, merits and demerits.”

Some people say that she is too soft-hearted.

She replied, "So what if I am too soft-hearted? If I can save the innocent and uphold justice, I am not afraid of being called soft-hearted. I will be merciful to the end in this matter!"

"If one is born unjustly, what joy is there in living? If one can die calmly, what fear is there in dying?"

Faced with a powerful criminal from the imperial court, she remained resolute even when threatened.

"The laws of the Tang Dynasty are strict. Even a prince who breaks the law is punished the same as a commoner. What does it matter if it's Wu Chengsi's handwritten letter? I'm holding you!"

"Come here! Take Jin Shizhao to the death row. After I report to the emperor tomorrow, his crimes will be made public and he will be executed!"

"She does not hide her identity as a woman, and she still sits in the hall with her pearl hairpins and jewelry, seeking justice for the dead and welfare for the living. This is the heroine in my mind forever."

"Whether facing gender scrutiny or oppression by powerful forces, she can always refute with a stable and clear mind, calm and composed, and caring about the people. This is the momentum and pattern that a heroine should have! "

"She doesn't need a high ponytail, sword-like eyebrows, or star-like eyes. She doesn't need black boots or tight clothes. Her golden hairpins and gorgeous skirts are heroic and compelling."

“In some videos, many people criticize the empress, but the fact is that the light she fought for alone shines on countless women.

Reply: Because of her power, women in the Tang Dynasty could control their own economic power, had the freedom to divorce, and could engage in politics.

Reply: The female official shone her light on countless common people, and governed the country according to her position. 』

"The Female Governor of the Tang Dynasty, Mazu, Mu Guiying, and Legend of Lu Zhen are all dramas that enlightened my thinking about heroines."

"Her eyes are filled with compassion for all living things. Such a person is like a god, always shining upon others."

"I remember that the last case in the finale was not allowed to be investigated, and only four words were written: The weary bird returns to its nest."

"I remember a quote that said, when they criticize me for being a woman, it means they have nothing else to attack besides my gender."

"After much difficulty in getting rid of the queen, the men behind her fought back and suppressed the woman into the dust.

Why? Because they are afraid.

"After the emergence of Wu Zetian, the Song and Ming dynasties began to frantically oppress women, and various dogmatic educational ideas imprisoned women.

Reply: Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

"During the Jingkang Incident, the status of women plummeted. However, aren't the men who failed to protect their country the ones who should be ashamed? Why were they abused, bullied, and asked to die? But when they resisted, these people asked them to bear the consequences. This is the sadness of the times."

"You should know that the status of women in previous dynasties was not low, especially in the Han Dynasty and before. Ying Zheng's surname is Ying."

"I think of my wise and brave ancestor again."

……

The people under the sky listened to those powerful lines, pleading for the people, and women were as brave as men. So what if such an official was a woman, she was able to bring justice to the common people of the world, and her truth touched people's hearts.

During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zetian watched this video with emotion in her eyes. At the beginning, there were many voices of opposition in the court, but power was the best weapon. As an emperor, she acted decisively and those ministers could only shut up.

Even though some Confucian scholars clamored that a woman could not be an emperor, it was of no use. No one could undo what had happened in history, just like the Jingkang Incident. Facts were facts and they could not refute them.

Ying Zheng looked at the Tang Dynasty empress with admiration. No matter what, it was not easy to reach that position. He was helpless when he thought of the oppression of women in the future, because with such a person in the past, he would not allow such a person to appear again. The foot binding was also the idea of ​​Song Ming.

After watching many videos from later generations, people are no longer as restrained as they used to be. There are men and women in this world, and the creation of heaven and earth has its own reasons. It is not okay for them to be biased towards either side.
