I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Under the vast mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, for those ordinary people who work hard to make a living, new tricks and measures of the court emerge one after another, which can be said to be endless, and this trend is even more turbulent every year.

In previous years, the people worked quietly on their own three-acre land, secretly thinking that perhaps the world would be like a gurgling stream, remaining calm and peaceful forever.

Although we cannot say that we are rich and powerful, at least we can live a stable and peaceful life.

Since the current Majesty ascended the throne, it has been a long time since he passed away. Now, it is already the seventh year of Qianwu.

During these few years, the court issued new policies and decrees one after another, which was too numerous to keep up.

Moreover, the contents of these decrees are mostly beyond the cognitive scope passed down from generation to generation by the people. They are all novel regulations that they have never heard of in their previous ordinary lives, and even cannot be touched by their imagination.

The customs of the people have long been deeply shackled by traditional concepts. Many people firmly believe in the decadent idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority that has been passed down since ancient times and find it difficult to break free.

In their outdated cognition, the birth of a baby girl is a business that is destined to lose money in the family.

Only a baby boy can shoulder the responsibility of establishing a family, taking care of all the affairs of the family and becoming the backbone of the family's continuation when he grows up.

Even though the weather is good and the granaries are full, every household can barely fill their stomachs and no longer worry about the suffering of hunger, but once they mention spending energy to support a baby girl, their faces will unconsciously reveal a hundred expressions of reluctance.

Even though the baby girl is their own flesh and blood, the innate bond of family affection seems fragile under the erosion of these outdated ideas, and it is difficult to change their deep-seated prejudice and indifference towards the baby girl.

The Shaohua Division, newly established by the imperial court, came into being with the order to break the traditional constraints and pursue equality and freedom.

The original intention of its establishment was to devote itself wholeheartedly to improving the status of women in the Tang Dynasty, so that they could break free from long-standing constraints and have their own piece of sky.

When Wu Meiniang took over this challenging task, relying on her understanding of human nature, she was convinced that the biggest obstacle must come from the male group in the world.

In this environment where men are superior to women, only men will stick to the old ways, cling to the existing power structure and social order, and be unwilling to see women gain equal status and rights with them.

But who would have thought that when this policy to improve the status of women began to be implemented among the people, reality gave everyone an unexpected answer.

Those men who were originally regarded by Wu Meiniang as the biggest obstacles were unexpectedly calm and gentle when faced with this change.

Most men showed an almost indifferent attitude towards this matter. This change concerning the fate of women had little to do with them.

If you look closely, you can find that deep down in their hearts, they actually have a hint of approval.

After all, who in this world doesn’t have a wife, and who doesn’t grow up under the care of their mother?

The bond of family affection played a quiet role in this transformation, preventing men from becoming a huge obstacle to change as expected.

Fate always likes to set up obstacles in places where people least expect them.

The real resistance comes from older women.

Once upon a time, as daughters-in-law, they silently endured all kinds of grievances in their husband's family, took care of all the big and small affairs of the family, served their parents-in-law, and lived cautiously in that small world.
