Live broadcast of the old ancestor gossip: Feeding the black moonlight to Qin Shi Huang

"As for me, I have no way to promise anything on behalf of the Han Dynasty, but I can make a promise to you on my own behalf. Of course, this promise applies not only to Sister Zhaojun, but also to all the princesses who are to be married off.

If one day you are tired and want to go home, just tell me at any time and I will take you home. If you reach the end of your life and want to return to your roots, I can also let the system bury you in your hometown and keep you at home forever.

This promise is valid forever, and it will be valid as long as I own the system."

Zhou Jia said this very seriously, with sincerity in her eyes, without any perfunctory intention. Many people had tears in their eyes when they heard her words.

They really want to go home.

The angry emperors of the Han Dynasty suddenly calmed down and remained silent after hearing Zhou Jia's words.

The court officials below also sighed.

They knew how humiliating it was to marry a foreign princess, but they really had no good solution at the moment.

They do need a marriage alliance for the time being.

However, Zhou Jia's gentleness did not last long. She soon changed into a sarcastic expression with a cold smile, "Let's talk about who proposed this marriage."

Chinese

Liu Bang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had a premonition that this little girl was going to set him on fire next.

Sure enough, the next second Zhou Jia said:

"I have already said this when I was talking about your majesty. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, uprisings broke out everywhere and the world was in chaos again. Eventually, Liu Bang ascended the throne and established the Han regime.

However, the Han Dynasty was not stable when it was just established. In the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of Han, that is, in 200 BC, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was besieged by the Huns on Mount Baideng for seven days and seven nights. He finally escaped by strategy, which is known in history as the Siege of Baideng.

Later, someone jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, let's make peace with the Huns." Liu Bang thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he agreed.

The person he initially chose was his daughter Princess Lu Yuan, but whoever had the flesh of his own would feel sorry for it, and Lu Zhi refused to agree, so Liu Bang had no choice but to find another girl to marry.

Chinese

Liu Bang, who was trapped on Mount Baideng, looked grim.

Zhou Jia has already told them all their future strategies, so what should they do now? Will the Xiongnu agree to their marriage again?

She really gave them a big problem.

In the dimension before the Battle of Baideng, Liu Bang also looked unhappy.

After she said this, the Huns would definitely come to settle the score. What would they do then?

In the Xianyang Palace, after hearing Zhou Jiaxuan's words, Lu Zhi glared at Liu Ji beside her and silently hugged her daughter.

Liu Ji no longer had his usual smiling face and wondered what had happened and why he was trapped in the mountain for so long.

Only Ying Zheng's expression became increasingly indifferent when he heard the word "Xiongnu". He kept writing and listened to Zhou Jia's story while handling state affairs.

The ministers and ordinary people were extremely sad. The emperor didn't want to marry his daughter, but someone had to marry her. So couldn't they only choose daughters from among the royal family and ministers? How dare they disobey the emperor's order?

"See, this is the benefit of status. The emperor's daughter doesn't marry herself, so the emperor can find another girl to marry as his own daughter to another country. Your daughter is a daughter, but other people's daughters are not daughters, right?"

Zhou Jia’s words ignited the resentment of many people. Yes, their emperor’s daughter is a daughter, but theirs is not?

After hearing Zhou Jia's words, all the ministers knelt down in unison, with bitter expressions on their faces.

Help! If Zhou Jia keeps saying this, His Majesty will get angry. He’s the Emperor, not everyone dares to criticize him like she does!

The emperors on the thrones all looked unhappy.

If they could, they would have chosen to turn off the screen immediately, but unfortunately, the screen only allowed Zhou Jia to block the message one way, so they had no way of not listening or turning it off.

Zhou Jia would not tell them that only Ying Zheng could turn off the screen at will, and she treated the others equally.

"But think about it from another perspective. Aren't the emperor's daughters innocent? Why do they have to marry into the imperial court? Who would be willing to leave their homeland?"

Zhou Jia's eyes were cold. "Please remember the person who proposed the marriage to Liu Bang. His name was Lou Jing. Later, Liu Bang gave him the surname of the country, Liu Jing. If anyone proposes a marriage in the future, can you please marry the emperor yourself? I won't ask your wife and children to marry the emperor. They don't need to bear this responsibility for you. Just ask the person who proposed the marriage to marry the emperor, okay?"

Chinese

Lou Jing's face flushed red. He proposed the marriage policy for the sake of the long-term stability of their Han Dynasty. What did she know!

"No, shameless!"

What is the stuff she talks about all day long? What is the thing about the person who proposes a marriage alliance being married off?

The people around him were angry, amused, and felt very uncomfortable.

[The purpose of the marriage is to promote the stability of the two countries. What's wrong with that? Moreover, the marriage has existed since ancient times. If it was wrong, how could it be passed down? You, a woman, are really short of knowledge. Is this how you educate your descendants? ]

[That's right, they are just women, so just send them away, what's the big deal? How dare you, a descendant, talk about national affairs? How can a woman like you understand military and national affairs? You might as well spend your time learning how to please your future husband. If you are so sharp-tongued, be careful that no one will dare to marry you in the future.]

[Yes, girl, we women just need to take care of our husbands and children. These major matters have nothing to do with us. You should learn the rules for women. These major matters are not something you should get involved in.]

Zhou Jia originally had no reaction to their words, until the words "we women" came out, and she suddenly felt tired.

It is not easy for women to live in this world, so why do women still suppress and belittle other women?

She originally wanted to say something, but the comments that floated across the screen the next moment brought some comfort to her cold heart.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng: [You are so noisy, you are belittling women and speaking rudely to them. I have finally opened my eyes. ]

The only female emperor Wu Zetian: [So what if you are a woman? As a woman, you belittle other women. What qualifications do you have to criticize this little girl from later generations? Girl, don't worry about it. Keep talking. I love to hear it.]

As soon as the prefix of Wu Zhao's name came out, everyone's attention was instantly shifted from Zhou Jia to the only female emperor.

[Female empress? How can a woman sit on the throne? ]

Many people were shocked to find out there really was a empress!

There were more and more comments, but after Wu Zhao posted this sentence, she fell silent again and didn't say anything more.

秦

Seeing Wu Zhao's first appearance in the comments, Ying Zheng seemed very interested, "Wu Zhao, Zhao, are the sun and the moon in the sky?"

He became more and more curious about the story of this only empress.

Li Shimin and Li Zhi did not yet know who Wu Zhao was or what relationship she had with them.

Zhou Jia, who was comforted by both His Majesty and the Empress, smiled.

"Sister Wu Zhao has finally shown up. Let me introduce her to you. She is the protagonist of the Wu Zhou Dynasty that we will talk about later. She is also the only female emperor in Chinese history. She is very powerful.

Don't worry, I am not affected by their words. I just want to say to some people that I am a woman, but I also have the right to speak. I don't need to deliberately learn to please men. I have my own future, not just to become someone's wife. Finally, this is the second time you have used my being a woman to attack me. There will not be a third time. Thank you. "

Wu Zhou

Wu Zhao snorted coldly, "Those men only know how to say these few words."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Your Majesty and Miss Zhou Jia are both independent people."

Princess Taiping next to her said, "Mother, you are the only empress. It seems that this girl likes you very much."

Wu Zhao's eyebrows softened, but there was still some worry in her eyes, "Women in later generations..."

"Mother, don't think too much." Taiping, who could best guess her thoughts, advised.

Zhou Jia hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Yes, you are right. The practice of marriage alliances has indeed existed for a long time, and can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. However, there is an essential problem here. Many things changed after Qin Shi Huang unified the country. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was divided among various states, and marriage alliances were used to maintain stability. But your Han Dynasty is already a unified dynasty, so the meaning is different. What do you think of a unified dynasty practicing marriage alliances?

No one in our later generations supports marriage alliances. No matter how wonderful the words are, marriage alliances are a shame. Even if you have a marriage alliance, it is better than marriage alliances. You should know that you have many princesses who were married to other countries in the Han Dynasty. If it weren't for Emperor Wu of Han who defeated the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty would have been severely criticized. "

Chinese

Liu Bang, who was standing on Mount Baideng, fell into deep thought as he listened to Zhou Jiaxia's words.

After the Siege of Baideng, Liu Bang was also thinking about something silently. Time went on, and Liu Che listened to his subordinates reporting that the Wusun Kingdom wanted a marriage alliance, as well as Zhou Jia's attitude towards the marriage and Wang Zhaojun's deeds, and he stood up in anger.

"Marriage, marriage, tell him that my daughter of the Han Dynasty will not be married off from now on! Get lost!"

Liu Che got angry and a civil official stood up to try to stop him, but Liu Che gave him a look and the man dared not speak anymore. He could only place his hopes on Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others.

Marrying a princess is a shame, but it will definitely bring stability to the Han Dynasty!

But he was destined to be disappointed, as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were also angry.

The two of them are still alive. If they can defeat one Hun, they can defeat the entire Western Regions!

Let’s get along, whoever wants to get along can do so!

"The next Princess Wencheng I'm going to talk about is from the Tang Dynasty, which had the most marriages with foreign allies in history. The one who sent her out to marry was Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who was praised by many emperors as a model of a wise ruler. Your Han and Tang dynasties are indeed powerful, but when it comes to marriages with foreign allies, you are a stain and a shame."

Zhou Jia shook her head.

唐

Even though he had guessed from previous comments that his younger brother would ascend the throne in the future, Li Jiancheng felt very uncomfortable when he heard Zhou Jia admit it himself, and even said that he was a model of a wise ruler considered by many emperors.

Li Yuan sat at the top, looking at the resentful Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and the calm Li Shimin below, as well as the court officials behind them with different thoughts, and he felt conflicted.

The court was dead silent, but it was different after Li Shimin ascended the throne. The court officials looked proud.

Listen, listen, their Majesty is praised by many emperors as a model of a wise ruler, so you know that it is right to follow their Majesty.

But when he heard that marriage was a shame and stain, he lost all his energy and spirit.

and……

Is it true that their Tang Dynasty was the dynasty with the most marriage alliances?

秦

Ying Zheng was also somewhat curious about this emperor. What did he do to be hailed as a model of a wise ruler? It seemed that the rave reviews were a far cry from his reputation.

However… since he was praised as a model of a wise ruler, why did Zhou Jia still describe himself as the greatest emperor of all time? Isn’t this Li Shimin?

Moreover, why did he also have a marriage plan?

Liu Che was also puzzled and waited for Zhou Jia to give him an answer.

"Wang Zhaojun was an envoy between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, connecting the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, while our Princess Wencheng was an envoy connecting the Han Dynasty and the XZ. Before introducing Princess Wencheng, let's talk briefly about the XZ."

Zhou Jia took out a map of China from the side, pointed to the location of XZ and said:

"Here, this large area is the XZ Autonomous Region. In the past, after thousands of years of development, the Tibetan tribes formed many tribal alliances. In the XZ region, there were so-called 'forty small states', which were later merged into 'twelve small states'.

During the Tang Dynasty, China finally had a regime that unified the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau - the Tubo Dynasty, and the monarch of the Tubo Dynasty was called Zamp.

Princess Wencheng's husband was the 33rd Zamp of the Tubo Dynasty, but in fact, he can be considered the founding monarch of Tubo. He quelled the civil strife in Tubo and unified XZ. Later, he married Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. Together, the two made outstanding contributions to the exchanges between Han and Tibetans.

But unfortunately, in 877, the rebels massacred the royal family and nobles, and the Tubo Dynasty completely collapsed. "

Tibet

Songtsen Gampo felt mixed emotions when he heard about the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty. Although he was mentally prepared, he felt that it came too fast.

"What's even more terrible is that after the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty, there was no unified regime in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for nearly four hundred years from 1239 AD, and it was always in a period of division and separatism.

It was not until 1271 that Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty and U-Tsang, that is, the central and western parts of Tibet and other areas became part of the Yuan Dynasty. In other words, Tibet was officially brought under the control and management of our central government during the Yuan Dynasty.

During the Qing Dynasty, XZ was called Tangut Tubot or something like that. It was only during the reign of Emperor Kangxi that it was called XZ. So everyone should remember one thing: XZ has been an inseparable part of us since ancient times. Don’t mess around with those messy things.

Oh, yes, let me digress and tell you something.”

Zhou Jia sighed and showed two photos, with very familiar hairstyles and clothes.

It’s from the Qing Dynasty again.

The Qing emperors felt depressed when they saw this.

What on earth did the last emperors of the Qing Dynasty do? How come everything can be implicated in the Qing Dynasty?

"The last time I showed you Tan Jinyong, this time I'm going to talk about two people, one is Li Hongzhang and the other is Zuo Zongtang. Both of them were ministers of the Qing Dynasty. They lived in the late Qing Dynasty, when many countries in the world were invading other countries.

China is a vast country with a lot of things, so many countries have coveted China's territory. At that time, Russia and Britain wanted to take over Xinjiang, and Russia even sent troops to invade Yili, Xinjiang. If this continues, Xinjiang will not be far from falling. You can see that Xinjiang occupies a large area. If Xinjiang is gone, the northwest and other places will have no barriers. I don't need to say more about its importance. "
