Chapter 871 I am a woman
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the common people of Kyoto were like badger falling into a melon field, eating the melons with great pleasure.
Just now, there were rumors about a meteorite falling from the sky and Duke Yun holding a strange stone. A few days later, another new rumor was spreading.
According to rumors, when Madam Gu was pregnant, she dreamed of a huge, snow-white, sacred wolf with a golden pattern on its forehead on a snowy night.
The giant wolf held the Heshi Bi in its mouth and placed it in her arms. It turned into a white light and merged into her stomach.
On the day of delivery, the north was hit by a snowstorm that had not occurred in a century.
Near the present-day Yunzhou Governor's Mansion, a pack of wolves gathered. Instead of howling, they lay quietly in the wind and snow, as if guarding it.
When Gu Nanxi was born, the wind and snow stopped suddenly, the clouds and fog dissipated, and a ray of golden sunlight penetrated the clouds, just covering the governor's mansion.
The moment the baby cried, the wolves howled in unison, the sound shaking the whole area, and then dispersed in an orderly manner.
The shamans of various tribes on the grassland received the will of the gods at the same time: this woman is a goddess sent by God, the one chosen by God to rule all races and guide the direction.
Don’t ask why Duke Yun was born in Kyoto, but the one who had the reaction was in the grassland. The reason is because of telepathy.
Don't ask how they knew what was happening in Kyoto and the grassland at the same time. The only thing to ask is that the gods told the shaman.
This rumor sounds strange, but every grasslander, even the officials from Yunzhou, swore that yes, it was true.
Not only is it true, they also used Xiaohua as an example.
Look all over Kyoto, which lynx is as smart as Xiaohua, understands human nature, is obedient, and can kill Tartars? !
The divine beast always accompanies the wise master.
Xiaohua is a divine beast, and Duke Yun is a wise leader.
Having witnesses and physical evidence sounds more reliable than a meteorite falling from the sky.
After all, no one has seen the meteorite or the strange stone, but Xiaohua really exists. It must be the incarnation or reincarnation of the Wolf King!
The logic is sound! Nothing wrong with it.
When Cui Wenbo heard this, he almost fainted with anger, especially when he saw Bater showing off in front of him. He could easily guess that these grassland people must have made up this story just to challenge him.
"Hmph, just wait for me. When it comes to writing stories, no one in the world can rival me except Penglai Ke!"
After get off work, Cui Wenbo no longer went out for wine or tea. He stayed alone in his study, determined to write a new rumor that would crush the previous two rumors!
The position of Minister of Rites is his, and so is the position of Duke Yun’s sweet little darling!
People from the grassland and Yunzhou, get out of the way.
After thinking hard for half a month, Cui Wenbo proudly handed the new story to Su Yunyan.
That was a year before Duke Yun was born, there was an ominous sign of the black bird falling in the Imperial Temple in Kyoto.
The corpses of hundreds of birds were everywhere near the Taimiao.
The eminent monks from the Imperial Observatory and the Daxiangguo Temple all said that this indicated that the country's fortunes would decline.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou at that time issued a death order that this matter must not be spread outside.
At the same time, in the bitterly cold northern border, late one winter night, a divine eagle, covered in flames and wounds, fell into the current Yunzhou Governor's Mansion due to exhaustion after fighting against the storm and lightning, and turned into a ball of immortal black flame.
The clear sound of a phoenix could be heard from the flames.
Thousands of miles away in the north, at General Gu's mansion, Duke Yun was born, and his cries matched the cry of a phoenix.
Cui Wenbo didn't care to be subtle and explained to Su Yunyan: "The Black Bird of Heaven's Fate represents Nirvana in the Northern Frontier. The Black Phoenix bathed in fire symbolizes the unyielding struggle under the oppression of the corrupt Great Zhou, and the ultimate rebirth of destiny."
He glanced at Su Yunyan's shocked expression and continued, "The Black Phoenix did not land in the old capital, but in the gate of the Northern Frontier. This indicates that the destiny has shifted to the north, and the true master of destiny is a woman. She will be like the Black Phoenix, going through the catastrophe and fire, and finally changing the destiny and creating a prosperous era."
Cui Wenbo was very satisfied with this story. Not only did he perfectly solve the celestial phenomenon and raise an army in Yunzhou, but he also found a reason for the Duke of Yun to be called the empress because she was a woman.
Once this story came out, it became difficult for the people in the Great Zhou to attack Duke Yun based on his gender.
Duke Yun is a black bird that rose from the ashes in fire, and came here at the command of heaven, no worse than any other emperor.
Su Yunyan's jaw never closed.
Compared with these scholars who hold pens, even the eloquent businessmen are not as good at bragging as them.
A Niang's identity has changed from a baby holding a strange stone, to the reincarnation of the He Shi Bi, and then to the reincarnation of a phoenix rising from the ashes!
Although Su Yunyan knew that everyone was building up public opinion for A Niang's ascension to the throne, she was still shocked.
"Master Cui... Hey, you should come with me to see my mother."
Cui Wenbo was excited!
His efforts were finally noticed by Duke Yun.
Gu Nanxi watched Cui Wenbo talk incessantly, from the various metaphors in the story to how to manipulate public opinion and add fuel to the flames. His words were well-organized and highly feasible.
When he finished speaking, Gu Nanxi asked someone to bring him a cup of tea: "Master Cui, you have worked hard, moisten your throat quickly."
"Serving you loyally is hard work." Cui Wenbo looked at Gu Nanxi's expression, showing neither joy nor dissatisfaction.
What is going on?
"Lord Cui, are you worried that I will be attacked by some people for being the empress? So, you are trying so hard to build momentum for my coronation?"
Gu Nanxi asked sincerely, and Cui Wenbo lowered his eyes embarrassedly: "Indeed, in the previous dynasty, Empress Wu changed the Li Dynasty to the Wu Dynasty, and encountered many obstacles. In the end, she had to agree to return power to the descendants of the Li family."
It is so difficult for a woman to become an emperor in a proper way.
Empress Wu was Li's daughter-in-law, and her children had half Li's blood, so the heir could only be Li's children.
She had been handling government affairs for so many years, but even so, when she wanted to establish herself as empress, many people who had been loyal to her still turned against her.
Until now, many people still do not acknowledge that she is the emperor, and only believe that she is ruling the country and managing the Li Dynasty on behalf of the emperor.
Where is Duke Yun?
Her father was the god of war of the Great Zhou, and she herself was once a vassal of the Great Zhou.
As a result, she now occupies the territory north of the Yangtze River and wants to establish herself as emperor.
How will she be written about in history books?
They would call her a traitor, a traitor with wolfish ambitions, a traitor with evil intentions, a thief of divine artifacts, a hen crowing at dawn...
After all, the tongues of literati are the most poisonous, and their words are enough to make Duke Yun infamous for eternity.
Is Gu Nanxi afraid?
She was not afraid at all.
Gu Nanxi said casually, "I appreciate Lord Cui's kindness. My father died fighting for the Great Zhou, which was a sign of his loyalty. I am just a woman, so there is no need for you to add to my glory."
"Whoever wants to scold me, let him scold me. No matter how much they scold me, it won't make me lose a piece of flesh. No matter how much they scold me, it won't make me change my mind. In my eyes, there is no difference between men and women, only between capable people and mediocre people. Since ancient times, there has only been cases of virtue not being worthy of one's position, and I have never heard of gender not being worthy of one's position."
"Whether they are officials or future crown princes, I will only distinguish them based on their abilities."
