And the phoenix they mentioned...
It is still Kyoto, and like most prosperous Kyotos in other countries, the streets are bustling with people, and the sight is prosperous and beautiful.
However, upon further inspection, one can see an absolute difference!
There are women on the street—so many of them!
There are so many women of all ages!
You know, even in places where people are open-minded, there are never almost equal numbers of men and women walking on the streets!
Moreover, basically none of these women wore a veil or something to cover their faces. They were all very open and forthright, and no matter they were rich or poor, they talked and laughed without any reservations.
In fact, although the founding emperor of Fengluan was a man, it was rumored that he was able to ascend the throne with the help of a mysterious woman who saved the miserable people of Fengluan at that time.
The Fengluan royal family did not shy away from this rumor. Under this atmosphere, the status of Fengluan women has always been higher than that of women in many other countries.
But, it's not as high as the current level on the streets where they are almost on par with men.
The reason for this situation is undoubtedly that those who now rule Fengluan, whether in name or in reality, are women.
Why do we say nominally and actually?
The emperors of Fengluan were different from those of other countries. They never had many concubines in their harems and only married one queen in their lifetime. Some emperors married a successor queen because the previous queen died for various reasons and left no offspring.
In short, there will never be a second woman by the side of any emperor at the same time.
The royal family has never had many direct descendants. During the reign of the previous emperor, the empress had just given birth to a pair of twin daughters when the emperor died of illness.
The queen was left alone with a pair of young daughters, having lost her husband at a young age. Even though she was a queen, one could imagine how difficult her life was.
When the two princesses were brought up with great difficulty, more than 20 years ago, Fengluan betrayed the country and almost destroyed the family. At that time, even the eldest princess, Princess Qingyao, fell into the hands of the traitorous country and was stripped naked and hung at the city gate, suffering great humiliation.
When the people of Fengluan thought they would be bullied and trampled upon by the evil country forever, their Princess Qingyao not only came back alive, but also opened the armory that had been listed as a forbidden area by the Fengluan royal family for generations.
In just a few months, he led the Fengluan soldiers to destroy the Ancient South Kingdom that invaded Fengluan at that time. The method of destruction was to completely wipe out the Ancient South Kingdom from the world!
Ancient South Country, like Fengluan, is a relatively hidden country. It rarely interacts with other countries. The entire country was destroyed and nothing was left except ruins. Not even a single chicken or dog was left, let alone people.
Naturally, no one could spread the news of how the ancient southern kingdom was destroyed.
But some people in Fengluan know it!
It was also at that moment that the people of Fengluan deeply realized that the rumor that Fengluan possessed a weapon that could destroy the world was real!
They were emboldened, but more panicked.
Not only people outside are afraid of such killing weapons, but they themselves are also afraid of them.
Then, Princess Qingyao ascended the throne and became the first female emperor in Fengluan history. Because Qingyao was not her maiden name but her title, her title was not changed after ascending the throne, and she was called Empress Qingyao.
During the three years that Empress Qingyao was in power, those terrible killing weapons were sealed and stored again. Although Empress Qingyao was a woman, she was extremely talented and managed Fengluan in an orderly manner. She was a monarch who was no less wise than any male monarch in history. The people gradually put aside their fears and lived a peaceful life.
