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

When Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin's words of approval, the smile on his face froze slightly and he did not speak for a while.

In fact, improving the status of women has always been an extremely difficult task in all dynasties, just like rowing against the current, with many difficulties.

Only the Tang Dynasty had such unique soil and opportunities to nurture such seeds of change.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to do this was mostly because of the current Li Shimin and the deceased Empress Zhangsun.

Both of them were open-minded, and had a tolerance and understanding for matters between men and women that was beyond their time. They actively advocated for women to receive education and participate in social affairs. This made the status of women in the Tang Dynasty much higher than that in other dynasties, which is difficult to achieve even in later generations.

Moreover, the legal provisions that need to be repaired and improved for gender equality are far more than just a few.

In the Tang Dynasty, the social atmosphere was relatively open. Not only did men have the custom of keeping concubines, but women from wealthy families also had the custom of keeping male lovers.

If we want to thoroughly promote gender equality, we naturally cannot ignore these issues.

We can only take tough measures and implement them across the board to avoid causing many problems.

After all, if everyone is obsessed with these romantic things and ignores having offspring, then the country will not have enough population, so how can it develop?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.

In other feudal dynasties, implementing such reforms would have been nearly impossible, or even unthinkable. Only during the Tang Dynasty, with its multi-ethnic integration and open-mindedness, was the public relatively tolerant and less resistant to such changes.

This is also an important reason why the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues had relatively little binding force in the Tang Dynasty.

Throughout history, if the Tang Dynasty had not gradually declined starting from the Anshi Rebellion, with its openness and tolerance, as well as the integration of multiple ethnic groups and multiple thoughts, it might have been possible to transcend the inherent framework of the feudal dynasty and enter the capitalist stage ahead of time.

If this were true, many subsequent disasters might have been avoided, and history would have been rewritten in a completely different direction.

"If the Queen Mother knew, she would definitely be very happy."

Li Chengqian said with emotion.

"Old Li, you've really benefited from the times. Tell me, if you were an ordinary citizen living in my Qianwu Dynasty, would you curse your mother all day long?"

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he asked Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, a puzzled look in his eyes. He looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Why should I scold you? Isn't life pretty good now?"

His eyes revealed longing, and he continued, "Don't be so rude, boy. If I could live with your mother in the Qianwu Dynasty, my life would surely be happy and peaceful. I wouldn't trade it even for the throne of Emperor."

"Being an emperor may seem glorious, but in reality, it's exhausting and tiring all day long. It's nowhere near as comfortable as being an ordinary citizen."

"Of course, they are the people of your Qianwu Dynasty. For the rest, I will choose the emperor."

Li Shimin emphasized this.

Li Shimin had a good idea of ​​the lives of the lower-class people in all dynasties.

Li Chengqian listened to Li Shimin's words, shook his head gently, a look of pity appeared on his face, and jokingly said: "Then you have no other women, Old Li."

Hearing this, Li Shimin sighed softly, his eyes revealing deep affection, and he slowly said: "If you allow me to be Guanyin's maid, I will be with you forever."

"Even if there are no other women, what does it matter? As long as I can be with her, this life is enough."

His tone was filled with affection for Empress Changsun. At this moment, time stood still, and only that deep love flowed slowly in the air, filling the entire room.
