Zhou Jia originally had no reaction to their words, until the words "we women" came out, and she suddenly felt tired.
It is not easy for women to live in this world, so why do women still suppress and belittle other women?
She wanted to say something, but the comments that floated across the screen the next moment brought some comfort to her cold heart.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng: [You are so noisy, belittling women and speaking disrespectfully to them. I have finally opened my eyes.]
The only female emperor, Wu Zhao: [So what if I'm a woman? As a woman, you belittle other women. What qualifications do you have to criticize this young girl from later generations? Girl, don't worry about it. Keep talking. I love to hear it.]
As soon as the prefix of Wu Zhao's name came out, everyone's attention was instantly shifted from Zhou Jia to the only female emperor.
[Female empress? How can a woman sit on the throne?]
Many people were shocked to find out there really was a female emperor!
There were more and more comments, but after Wu Zhao posted this sentence, she fell silent again and didn't say anything more.
Qin
Seeing Wu Zhao's first appearance in the comments, Ying Zheng seemed very interested. "Wu Zhao, Zhao, are the sun and the moon in the sky?"
He became more and more curious about the story of this only empress.
Li Shimin and Li Zhi did not yet know who Wu Zhao was or what her relationship was to them.
Zhou Jia, who was comforted by both His Majesty and the Empress, smiled.
"Sister Wu Zhao has finally made her presence known. Let me introduce her. She is the protagonist of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, which we will discuss later. She is also the only female emperor in Chinese history. She was quite a powerful figure.
Don't worry, I wasn't affected by their words. I just wanted to tell some people that I'm a woman, but I also have the right to speak. I don't need to deliberately learn to please men. I have my own future, not just to become someone's wife. Finally, this is the second time you've used my being a woman to attack me. There won't be a third time. Thank you."
Wu Zhou
Wu Zhao snorted coldly, "Those men only know how to say these few words."
Shangguan Wan'er said, "Your Majesty and Miss Zhou Jia are both independent people."
Princess Taiping said, "Mother, you are the only empress. It seems that this girl likes you very much."
Wu Zhao's expression softened, but there was still some worry in her eyes. "Women in later generations..."
"Mother, don't think too much." Taiping, who could guess her thoughts best, advised her.
Zhou Jia hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Yes, you are right. The practice of marriage alliances has indeed existed for a long time, and can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. However, there is an essential problem here. Many things changed after Ying Zheng unified the country. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was divided among various states, and marriage alliances were used to maintain stability. But your Han Dynasty was already a unified dynasty, so the meaning was different. What do you think of a unified dynasty practicing marriage alliances?
No one in our later generations supports marriage alliances. No matter how beautiful the words are, marriage alliances are a disgrace. Even a marriage alliance is better than a marriage alliance. You should know that your Han Dynasty had many princesses who were married to other countries. If it weren't for Emperor Wu of Han who defeated the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty would have been severely criticized.
Chinese
Liu Bang on Mount Baideng fell into deep thought as he listened to Zhou Jiaxia's words.
After the Siege of Baideng, Liu Bang was also silently thinking about something. Time went on. Liu Che listened to his subordinates reporting that the Wusun Kingdom wanted a marriage alliance, as well as Zhou Jia's attitude towards the marriage and Wang Zhaojun's deeds, and he stood up angrily.
"Marriage, marriage, tell him that from now on, my daughter of the Han Dynasty will not marry anyone else! Get out!"
Liu Che got angry, and a civil official stood up to try to stop him. But Liu Che just gave him a look and the man dared not speak anymore. He could only place his hopes on Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others.
Marrying a foreign princess is a shame, but it will definitely bring stability to the Han Dynasty!
But he was destined to be disappointed, as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were also angry.
The two of them are still alive. If they can defeat one Hun, they can defeat the entire Western Regions!
Let’s get along, whoever wants to get along can do so!
"The next Princess Wencheng I'm going to talk about is from the Tang Dynasty, which had the most marriages with foreign allies in history. The one who sent her out was Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who was hailed by many as a model of wise rulership. Your Han and Tang dynasties were indeed powerful, but the issue of marriages with foreign allies was a stain and a disgrace."
Zhou Jia shook her head.
Tang
Even though he had guessed from previous comments that his younger brother would ascend the throne in the future, Li Jiancheng felt very uncomfortable when he heard Zhou Jia admit it himself, and even said that he was a model of a wise ruler considered by many emperors.
Li Yuan sat at the top, looking at the resentful Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and the calm Li Shimin below, as well as the court officials behind them with different thoughts, and he felt conflicted.
The court was dead silent, but it was different when Li Shimin ascended the throne. The court officials looked proud.
Listen, listen, their Majesty is praised by many emperors as a model of a wise ruler, so you know that it is right to follow their Majesty.
But when he heard that marriage was a shame and stain, he lost all his energy and spirit.
and……
Is it true that their Tang Dynasty was the dynasty with the most marriage alliances?
Qin
Ying Zheng was also somewhat curious about this emperor. What did he do to be hailed as a model of a wise ruler? It seemed that the rave reviews he received were a far cry from his reputation.
But… since he was praised as a model of a wise ruler, why did Zhou Jia still describe himself as the greatest emperor of all time? Wasn't that Li Shimin?
Moreover, why did he also have the matter of marriage alliance?
Liu Che was also puzzled and waited for Zhou Jia to give him an answer.
"Wang Zhaojun was an envoy between the Han and Xiongnu, connecting the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. Our Princess Wencheng was an envoy connecting the Han Dynasty and Tibet. Before introducing Princess Wencheng, let's talk briefly about Tibet."
