Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

When the eldest son was sixteen years old, Gao Yang finally took back the 200,000 troops originally in the hands of Defei's father and brother and imprisoned Defei.

From then on, the world was at peace and the seas and rivers were clear.

In the next five years, Zhu Baishao and Gao Yang sent away the Queen Mother and Zhu's father one after another.

Before the Queen Mother passed away, she held on to her last breath, held Zhu Baishao's hand and said: "I know that you have hatred in your heart, and I also know... you endured it for Yang'er. You are a good child... I was wrong... I was wrong..."

Zhu Baishao understood her feelings, but did not accept her whitewashing.

At the same time, Zhu Baishao never thought that she would cry until she fainted when her father died. She was truly sad.

And Zhu's father also kept the talisman that could ward off disasters.

Zhu Baishao took the brand new purse and handed it to the eldest brother, telling him that it was his grandfather's love for him.

In the same year, the 45-year-old Gao Yang abdicated and retired as the Supreme Emperor. The eldest son born to him and Zhu Baishao succeeded to the throne as the new emperor.

The prosperity created by the father and son extended the country's prosperity for another three hundred years.

In fact, after Gao Yang abdicated, he did not live in seclusion in the palace, but went to the south of the Yangtze River with Zhu Baishao, who was in her thirties and still as graceful as before, and their little daughter.

On the southbound ship, Gao Yang faced the wind blowing from the river, stroked the back of Zhu Baishao's hand, and said with a smile: "I have been smart since I was a child, and I worked hard to climb up, stepping on the corpses of my brothers to ascend to the throne..."

"Half my life I have been busy in the imperial court. I have never seen the spring in the south of the Yangtze River, and I have never set foot on the land in the south of the Yangtze River..."

Zhu Baishao smiled softly on her increasingly charming face, "I'll go with you to see it later."

"Shaoer, meeting you is the biggest surprise in my life."

In the first half of his life, Gao Yang was an emperor, a son of heaven, a monarch and a father. He shouldered the expectations of millions of people. In his heart, the world was always above everything else, even Zhu Baishao and the prince came second to him.

Now the world is at peace, the sea is peaceful, people's minds are at peace, and the new emperor is a wise ruler. From now on, he can finally let go of everything he worries about and live happily ever after with Zhu Baishao.

The two of them hugged each other on the deck of the ship, like a pair of immortal lovers.

……

Extra.

after many years.

In a university classroom.

A female professor of history walked in. She looked at the students in the classroom who were in low spirits at the beginning of the semester and smiled, "Did everyone watch the popular TV series "The Legend of White Peony" during the summer season this year?"

When this was mentioned, the students in the audience became interested and spoke enthusiastically.

"I watched it and I think the male lead is so handsome!"

"After reading this, I feel that the intrigues of women in ancient times were really dangerous."

"I think the female lead is great, her crying scenes are very touching!"

"..."

The professor clapped his hands and asked everyone to be quiet.

"Since everyone has watched it, then as students of history, we should at least know the dynasty in which the heroine Zhu Baishao lived, right?"

As soon as the course content was mentioned, the students lost interest again.

The professor laughed, "We all know that there really was such a Queen Zhu in history. She was a virtuous queen who was highly praised in later generations. So let's talk about what has been artistically processed by the screenwriters in the popular summer dramas!"

Now the students became excited again, they are professionals in finding faults.

"The name is wrong! The history books only record that the queen's surname was Zhu! It doesn't say what her name was!"

"Bullshit! Didn't you read the edict to confer the title of empress? It clearly says Zhu Baishao on it! Zhu Baishao is specially conferred the title of empress!"

"That origin is not right! The history books record that Empress Zhu was born in poverty, but they don't say she was the daughter of a merchant!"

"The palace fighting plot is not right either!"

"..."

The professor still had a cheerful expression on his face, and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is following the drama seriously!"

"Let me summarize what everyone has said. Let's talk about the name first. A classmate just said that the edict that conferred the title of Empress Zhu wrote, 'Zhu Baishao'. Empress Zhu was indeed named Zhu Baishao, so the TV series did not give her the wrong name."

"As for her origin, the official history only says that she was born in poverty, but the emperor's diary records that when the emperor first appointed Empress Zhu as a noble concubine, the empress dowager was furious and said that how could Empress Zhu, who was born in a merchant family, be the head of the harem! So it's not wrong for the TV series to say that she was born in a merchant family, but Empress Zhu was definitely not the street wine seller in the TV series!"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

The professor supported the podium with his hands and laughed, "It seems that everyone knows that the TV series is wrong, hahahaha."

"Then let's talk about the palace fighting plot in the TV series. Well, this should be the most exciting part for everyone to watch, right?"

"But let's be realistic. It seems that Queen Zhu has never experienced palace fighting in her life, right?"

"After all, even the history books admit that Empress Zhu was the favorite of Emperor Gaoyang."

"The emperor and empress loved each other deeply for decades, but the empress fell ill and the emperor fled."

"The emperor and empress are extremely loving and have not changed for decades. When Empress Zhu fell ill, Emperor Gaoyang went straight to her. For an emperor who was particular about not showing his emotions and was concerned about the people, this was really... And everyone knows that Emperor Gaoyang was the only emperor in history who dismissed his harem. It can't be said that he dismissed it, but it can only be said that he reformed the marriage law under the guidance of Empress Zhu, so that those concubines could ask to leave the palace on their own."

"But there is one thing. In our historical circles, there is another name for Emperor Gaoyang's harem. Do you know it?"

Hearing this, the students laughed so hard that they fell backwards, and answered in unison: "Nunnery!"

The professor also laughed, "Yes, it's a nunnery!"

"Since we excavated several tombs from that dynasty, we discovered the autobiography of General Zhenyuan's wife from the documents left in the tombs!"

"Haha, she is actually the virtuous concubine of Emperor Gaoyang. Of course, if we must count the blood relationship, she is also his cousin. She actually wrote about her experiences in the palace in her autobiography..."

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful! Every time she was summoned to sleep with him, she had to kneel behind the screen for half the night. When she returned home and got married, she was still a virgin."

"Combined with the fragments of other documents, we can boldly speculate and assume that Emperor Gaoyang may have only had one woman in his life, Empress Zhu! He protected her very well, and there were no other women in the harem. He would never encounter the palace fighting dramas of other emperors' harems!"

"But I can understand that. It's a TV series, so we can make some artistic changes and have fun watching it."

"Then can anyone explain why Empress Zhu was called a virtuous queen by later generations?"

A boy raised his hand and said, "Empress Zhu's family background was not good in ancient times, and her reputation in Jiangnan at that time also dragged her down. However, after entering the palace, she was never jealous and was very kind! She also gave birth to three sons and four daughters, and became a symbol of fertility and happiness that was praised by later generations. Many people also used her portrait as the Goddess of Childbirth!"

Then a girl retorted, "It's like saying that Empress Zhu was called a virtuous empress because she gave birth to children! Empress Zhu was obviously kind and beautiful. She had been the empress for many years and had been subtly improving the status of women. Her husband allowed women to divorce and remarry, and her son pioneered the establishment of a coeducational school to provide guarantees for women's education. Her grandson directly established female officials and allowed women to set up their own households!"

"That's one aspect! Now let's talk about why later generations called her a virtuous queen! Yours is only important to women, and history books are written by men!"

Seeing that the two students were about to quarrel, the professor clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, stop quarreling."

"What you said is part of the reason why Queen Zhu can be called a virtuous queen."

"In fact, the most important thing is that she consciously suppressed her relatives and had a far-sighted vision. She once proposed many groundbreaking suggestions to Emperor Gaoyang, such as emphasizing agriculture and storing grain for emergency needs, and building water conservancy projects. She also proposed two different water management concepts: 'divergence' and 'merging'. The canal she opened greatly promoted the development of agriculture and commerce. It is still in use today. This project has benefited generations to come, so she has the reputation of being an eternal virtuous queen."

Princess Yunzhu and Li Shengjia left no trace in history at all.
