I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

Chapter 33 Chaogui (33)

Thus, the first female emperor retired and the first male empress posthumously honored in history were born.

As soon as this imperial edict came out, it was like a huge rock hitting the water, causing a huge wave.

Historically, when an emperor ascended the throne, he would honor his parents by making his father the emperor emeritus and his mother the empress dowager. How could it be the other way around?

Even the empress Wu Zetian, who changed the name of Tang to Zhou and proclaimed herself emperor, posthumously conferred the title of Loyal and Filial Emperor Taihuang of Zhou on her father Wu Shihuo and the title of Loyal and Filial Empress Dowager of Zhou on her mother Yang.

This kind of reversal of status and hierarchy is simply outrageous.

At one time, countless ministers jointly wrote a petition, asking Chao Gui to revoke his decision and reset the position.

As a modern soul, Chao Gui had no good feelings towards the Qing Dynasty, which lost its sovereignty and humiliated the country.

Among the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, only the Fourth Prince, Yongzheng, was worthy of respect.

But this world is "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the good Fourth Master has turned into a disgusting fat orange.

She didn't care how much this posthumous title would trample on Kangxi's face and dignity. She only cared about whether she felt good about it.

Furthermore, her fundamental purpose in rising up to overthrow the Qing Dynasty was to establish a modern society with equality between men and women, democracy and freedom.

Why can the emperor’s father be the emperor emeritus, but the mother doesn’t believe it?

Honoring her biological mother, Zhao, as the Supreme Empress was a clear banner she established.

Men and women are equal.

Since she, as a daughter, can become the emperor, Zhao, as her mother, can naturally become the emperor emeritus.

Finally, before she established the Qin Dynasty, she had changed her surname to Zhao.

If an emperor with the surname Ying and clan Zhao wanted to honor the emperor emeritus, he could only honor someone with the same surname.

Chao Gui's move not only crushed the conspiracy of the Qing Dynasty's remnants, but also put them into an extremely embarrassing situation.

You know, the emperor emeritus and the empress dowager are two completely different concepts.

If it is the retired emperor, his family is the bloodline of the emperor and they are considered one family.

The Empress Dowager is different. Although her mother's family is related to the Emperor, they are only in-laws.

Throughout the dynasties, emperors have always been wary of and suppressed their relatives by marriage.

It would be fine if the empress dowager, who represented the glory of the maternal relatives' family, was still alive. The emperor would not dare to go too far out of filial piety.

Without the Queen Mother, everything would be like a fallen tree, with monkeys scattering everywhere.

Even if the emperor had reason to suppress the relatives of the retired emperor, he would inevitably be branded as a person who harmed his relatives.

On the other hand, if the emperor suppressed the empress dowager's relatives, people would only think that the emperor was wise and did not show favoritism to his mother's family.

Chao Gui's posthumous conferment of the title on Kangxi not only greatly humiliated the Aisin-Gioro royal family, but also gave himself the opportunity to take advantage of the issue.

It is ridiculous that Kangxi reigned for 61 years and created the so-called Kangxi and Qianlong prosperous era. He was later shamelessly touted by Qianlong as "the greatest emperor of all time." But now he cannot even keep his final honor.

From ancient times to the present, has there ever been an emperor who was posthumously named empress?

It's really humiliating to the point of being humiliated even to the point of being at my grandma's house.

The old and young people of the Qing Dynasty naturally could not accept such an outcome.

Especially those who were close to Kangxi by blood, they strongly opposed it and even threatened to commit suicide.

He looked at Gui and immediately smiled.

Yo ho!

You remnants of a fallen nation, instead of behaving yourself disobey your commandments, you dare to come and jump before me?

You want to die?

No problem. I’ll help you.

Chao Gui immediately beat to death those men of the Aisin-Gioro clan who opposed him.

Immediately afterwards, an imperial decree was issued that the unmarried descendants of this group of people would be sent to Mongolia to marry and become concubines of princes with special fetishes, while the married ones would be sent to Xiangguguan (similar to modern gigolo clubs) to become male prostitutes.
