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

Wu Zhao was both angry and furious.

Taiping had been trying to comfort him, but in the dimension where Li Longji had already registered, he just snorted coldly when he heard Zhou Jia's words.

Since he has restored the name of Tang, he will naturally not let anything from the Great Zhou remain in this world.

Zhou Jia pursed her lips and said with some regret: "If this thing had not been destroyed, I could still take you to see it and feel the atmosphere of Wu Zhou. It's a pity that it has been destroyed.

When dynasties change, the later dynasty will indeed discredit the previous dynasty, and related things will be destroyed in a centralized manner, retaining only things that are beneficial to themselves.

From a political point of view, this is indeed necessary, but from some other aspects, it is quite regrettable that many things have not been preserved and only a ruins remain.

Not only was Tianshu completed this year, Wu Zhao also sent Wang Xiaojie to attack the Later Turks, and the Turkic Khan surrendered and submitted to Wu Zhou.

Let's talk about a very serious question. Everyone will die, including Wu Zetian. So after Wu Zetian dies, who will inherit her throne?"

唐

Although he knew that the Tang Dynasty would rule the country in the future, the issue Zhou Jia raised still made Emperor Li Tang's heart skip a beat. If there was even the slightest mistake, the throne might never return to their hands.

Chinese

Liu Che inevitably thought of his ancestor, Empress Gao, Lü Zhi, and felt somewhat fortunate that Empress Gao did not become emperor at that time, otherwise their Liu family's kingdom would have encountered setbacks.

I’m afraid that in those planes where our ancestors died, they might have chosen the same path as Wu Zhao.

Liu Che sighed.

But this is not something he can control. It is enough for him to take care of his own plane.

Wu Zhao

Li Longji had been brought to his knees. Wu Zhao was about to scold him when she heard Zhou Jia talking about the successor. These words touched her heart. She was still worried about who the next emperor would choose, and whether the person chosen would continue the Wu Zhou dynasty or restore the Li Tang dynasty.

"In 698, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi sought to be crown prince, and they had people tell Wu Zhao several times: 'Since ancient times, the emperor has never taken a person of a different surname as his successor', because their surname was Wu, and Wu Zhao's surname was also Wu, but those of the Li family had the surname Li.

Regarding these two people, I just want to say that their deaths were not unjust.

Throughout the dynasties, some royal relatives always thought that they had some kind of relationship with the emperor, so they had all kinds of inflated ambitions and did everything without even considering whether they had the ability. Your status as royal relatives was given by others. If you have the ability, do your work well. If you don't have the ability, just be a waste and eat, drink and have fun every day without causing any trouble. If you don't have the ability but still cause trouble all day long, you really think you have lived too long.

These two people are flatterers and good at saying nice things. They were the ones who proposed to kill the Li Tang royal family, and they also killed many loyal people. In a word, you should investigate them carefully and kill them. "

Zhou Jia really didn't have a good impression of the two brothers.

The people of Li Tang and Wu Zhou were sharpening their knives and attacking the Wu brothers.

"Wu Zhao was very conflicted about the proposal for the crown prince, not knowing who to appoint. At this time, a heavyweight figure appeared, a person we all like very much in later generations - Di Renjie."

A huge smile broke out on Zhou Jia's face.

"He said to Wu Zetian: 'Which is closer, an aunt or a nephew, or a mother and a son? If Your Majesty establishes a son, then after thousands of years, he will be worshipped as an ancestor in the Imperial Ancestral Temple; if you establish a nephew, then I have never heard of a nephew becoming the Son of Heaven and worshipping his aunt in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.' He advised her to recall Li Xian.

After that, Wu Zetian never thought of letting either of them become crown princes, and she secretly brought Li Xian back to Luoyang. Many things happened later that made Wu Zetian realize that although she had established the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the candidate chosen by the court officials, the next emperor, was still a member of the Li Tang Dynasty.

I can only say that you are worthy of being my Lord Di."

Di Renjie smiled helplessly. In fact, he was just stating a fact, and their majesty knew it clearly. He just strengthened her determination.

Li Shimin and others were happy, as it was enough for them to be Li Tang's people.

"But this also shows a very sad thing. Wu Zhao can be the emperor, but in the future she still has to return the throne to the Li Tang. If you don't return it, the Li Tang officials will not know how to scold or write about you.

I have a feeling that no matter how much she did, in the end she was just making wedding dresses for others, all for others rather than for herself. Wu Zhao played a very good role in connecting the past and the future, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty later, but even so, Li Tang still scolded her. "

Zhou Jia frowned and spoke in a low voice.

"Wu Zhao was not the first woman to rule the country, but she was the first woman to sit on the throne. Sometimes I wonder if there were more female emperors in Chinese history, would the status of women in the future be a little higher, even just a little bit.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that no, as long as it happens once, men will completely deprive women of the possibility of ascending the throne, and repeatedly suppress all the women around them, making them vassals of men and making them their possessions.

So we can find a very interesting point. After the Tang Dynasty, each dynasty has been gradually lowering and suppressing the status of women. This situation reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, women were not even as good as grass. It was ridiculous.

I know what you want to say, and there is no need to explain anything. I am just complaining. We will talk about many, many powerful women later:

The first queen mother in history, Empress Dowager Xuan, Mi Bazi; the first queen mother to rule the country, Empress Lü Zhi of the Han Dynasty; Empress Zhangxian, Liu E, who wore the imperial robes...

These outstanding female politicians in Chinese history are no less powerful than men. As I said before, the emperor is not limited to men. Moreover, my majesty has never said that women cannot be emperors. It's just that you are too fussy, always following this rule and that rule. Take a look at yourself first."

秦

Ying Si and the other two were sitting together eating melon. When Mi Bazi heard his name, he raised his eyes and said, "Me, I'm so awesome."

Ying Si gave her a look of disdain, "I was the first to be crowned king, and you will be the queen mother after my son succeeds to the throne."

Mi Bazi ignored him and said, "Then I'm awesome too!"

"you……"

"Stop, stop, stop." Zhang Yi had a headache. "They are all powerful, but the most important thing now is how to defeat the six kingdoms."

Originally the six countries were preparing to unite. Ever since Zhou Jia revealed the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the ties between the six countries have become increasingly close. He hasn't slept well for several days. Today he came to talk to them to relax, not to watch them quarrel.

"It is indeed a problem. We need to think carefully about how to defeat the six kingdoms and accumulate more wealth for our Zheng'er." Mi Bazi said seriously.

"But the Liu E behind is quite impressive in the imperial robe. Oh, I don't want to wear the imperial robe anymore. When will you let me wear your royal robe and show off for once?"

After only three seconds of seriousness, Mi Bazi began to pull at Ying Si's royal robe.

Ying Si laughed when he heard this, and pointed at his own Qin Wang Sword and said, "How about I give you this Qin Wang Sword as well, and you can go around showing off in your royal robe and holding the Qin Wang Sword?"

"Okay."

Mi Bazi never refused anyone who came to him.

Ying Si smiled, left Mi Bazi and sat next to Zhang Yi, "Go to sleep, you can dream about anything."

Zhang Yi looked at them laughing and talking with a helpless look on his face. Behind him, Ying Zheng, who was worried about Mi Bazi, was also watching Liu Ji, who was treated like a rabbit by the generals.

"You're lucky. Your wife sounds pretty impressive too."

"It's really lucky."

The Xianyang Palace was quite lively. Ying Zheng ignored them, but he did agree with what they said.

Liu Ji is indeed lucky, he has a good wife and good descendants.

He respected Queen Dowager Xuan and was also curious about the achievements of the female politicians who came after her.

The atmosphere in Han is not as good as that here.

Especially when Liu Bang was still alive.

When Wu Zhao came out, coupled with what Zhou Jia said about her being the first empress dowager to rule the country, Liu Bang felt a little uneasy. Neither the husband nor the wife spoke a word, each of them having different thoughts.

In the dimension where Lu Zhi was in power, she was moved when she saw Wu Zhao's achievements.

Song Dynasty, Liu E was also tempted, but the court officials advised her that if she wanted to ascend the throne, she had to eliminate all obstacles.

Wu Zhou

Wu Zhao said: "It's not that they don't have ambitions, they just never took this step from beginning to end. I was the first to take this step."

Princess Taiping said: "So the Queen Mother is the bravest person. I admire the Queen Mother the most and want to be like her."

Wu Zhao was amused by her, "Then you must study hard."

The mother and daughter were chatting happily and didn't pay any attention to Li Longji who was kneeling on the ground.

"After deciding on the future successor, Wu Zhao began to enjoy building palaces. In her later years, she had two famous male favorites recommended by Princess Taiping: Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong. After all, they were old and their energy could not keep up, so the two brothers became her eyes and ears. The Zhang brothers began to interfere in government affairs, and the situation became more complicated.

There was such an incident. It is said that Wu Zetian's granddaughter Princess Yongtai and her husband and Prince Shao discussed the Zhang brothers and were framed. Her husband and Prince Shao were executed. Princess Yongtai was frightened for twenty years, but some say she was also killed. "

Wu Zhou

Wu Zhao, who was chatting and laughing with Princess Taiping, lost her smile. Princess Taiping knelt down and apologized, "Mother, I didn't know people well. Please punish me."

Shangguan Wan'er stood beside him and clenched her hands.

Wu Zhao was silent for a long time, then sighed, "I am no different."

If she had seen through the true nature of the Zhang brothers early on and not been bewitched, such a thing would never have happened.

唐

Li Yuan, Li Shimin and Li Zhi had different expressions.

"This woman really dares to find a male lover." Li Yuan sneered.

Li Shimin complained about his own Xiaojiu, who was gone and even had a hat put on him.

Li Zhi’s expression was the most interesting. This was truly... an unexpected surprise.

"Don't be surprised. You men have three wives and four concubines and give girls countless hats, so why can't women enjoy themselves? So shut up. I don't want to hear or see."

Zhou Jia directly blocked some men's doubts.

"In the first month of 705, Wu Zetian was seriously ill, and the two Zhang brothers were serving by her side. Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi and others pretended that the Zhang brothers were plotting a rebellion, launched a coup, killed the two Zhang brothers, and demanded that Wu Zetian abdicate. Later, Li Xian took over the government affairs, and Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate, and Li Xian ascended the throne.

On December 706, Wu Zhao died of illness. Her will omitted the title of emperor and called her "The Great Saint Empress Zetian". In May 5, she was buried together with Emperor Gaozong of Tang in Qianling Mausoleum. Generally, there would be some inscriptions summarizing her life, but she left a blank stele for future generations. It is said that she wanted to leave her life's merits and demerits to future generations to judge.

Politically, Wu Zetian suppressed the aristocratic families, pioneered the palace examination system, developed the imperial examination system, rectified the administration of officials and selected talents. Economically, she developed agriculture, reduced taxes and led to a rapid population growth.

In general, Wu Zhao was indeed an okay emperor, but she was not without problems. During her reign, she employed cruel officials with harsh methods, fought frequently with Tubo, and was arbitrary and indulged in pleasure in her later years, and the internal ills of the court were exposed.

But generally speaking, she did create a good era, inheriting the Zhenguan Reign and starting the Kaiyuan Prosperity. Compared with some emperors, her achievements were already impressive.”

Wu Zhou

Wu Zhao rubbed her eyebrows and felt a little cold in her heart.

In the end, he was forced to return the power to Li Tang.

A monument without words is indeed something she can create.

After hearing this, Li Yuan, Li Shimin and Li Zhi remained silent.

What Zhou Jia said is indeed true. Compared with some emperors, Wu Zetian did a good job. However, this was not the reason why she usurped the throne of Li Tang. If there had been no coup later, would she still not have returned power to Li Tang?

No one can guarantee it.

but……

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin: [The Kaiyuan Era of Prosperity?]

Zhou Jia got a headache when he saw these four words and drooled. "Yes, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji. But don't be happy too soon. I just want to say that Li Longji was the reason for both success and failure. I will talk about him in detail later when I talk about the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin had a bad feeling that he would be the one to make both the success and the failure.

He didn't dare to think further.

"Let's talk about some light-hearted gossip about the imperial family of Li Tang. Come and eat melons."

Zhou Jia's fatigue disappeared, her face suddenly became rosy, and her smile became more and more perverted.

Li Shimin couldn't help but speak out, "Are you tired? How about taking a rest? We'll talk about the prince tomorrow?"

"I'm not tired. Gossip only excites me. Your Majesty, please don't try to change the subject. It's useless. I've already said it's just gossip. Just treat it as a joke and don't take it seriously.

As I said just now, Wu Zhao first entered the palace and was named Talented Lady, and was later brought back to the palace by Li Zhi. So some people say that Talented Lady should be Li Shimin's concubine. When Li Shimin was seriously ill, Wu Zhao was taking care of Li Shimin, and she met Li Zhi, who also came to take care of his father. The two of them were in love and did something beside Li Shimin's bed.

If I remember correctly, there seems to be a TV show with this clip, but I forgot which TV show it was. "

秦

Ying Zheng's hand shook and he wrote the wrong word.

Listening to Zhou Jia's laughter and the gossip, he suddenly felt that he was also in danger. The three emperors, Li Shimin, Wu Zhao and Li Zhi, were all treated like this. Did he also have related gossip? Or, he did have gossip, but Zhou Jia didn't say it for his face.

The Liu family emperors were stunned at first and then burst into laughter. After all, it was someone else's excitement, it would be a shame not to watch it, and this excitement was indeed interesting.

The Li Tang royal family was in deathly silence, and the palace servants knelt on the ground and trembled.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin: [Where did you get that rumor? I will kill that person! ]

Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi: [Miss Zhou Jia, the scenery in the afterlife is quite nice. I wonder if I can go there to see it later? Please don't refuse, Miss Zhou Jia. Thank you very much.]

Zhou Jia’s smile froze.

Why did she feel that this black-hearted man wanted to come over and beat her up?
