Chapter 374: Who is more rebellious?
"Because history books are written by men, they only record the achievements of men. No matter how great a woman is, she is only briefly mentioned."
"Most women didn't even have their names recorded in history."
"For example, my mother, the historians would only write that she was my father's wife, and that she died young. No, according to their words, they would write that my mother was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate."
"But it's obvious that, whether in my heart or in my brother's, my mother is more powerful than my father."
But because his mother was more powerful than his father, she no longer had the right to live.
Why?
Lu Zhiheng couldn't figure these things out.
There are some things that you can't figure out. Maybe if you stop thinking about them, you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But for Lu Zhiheng, if he can't figure something out, he should stop thinking about it. It's a form of escape.
But no matter how he tried to escape, the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't keep deceiving himself like this.
"I've read through history books and realized that people don't always become emperors. The fact that so many men have been emperors throughout history doesn't mean that women can't be emperors. It's just that there's no precedent."
"If there's no precedent, then we'll create one. Just like, before, there weren't many women who could be mystical masters, but didn't you still become the mystical master that Father feared the most?"
Lu Zhiheng could imagine how much Su Tan would be valued by the Azure Dragon Emperor if she were a man instead of a woman.
But just because Su Tan was a woman, Emperor Qinglong was extremely wary of Su Tan.
He even wanted to trap Su Tan in that cruel backyard.
Lu Zhiheng didn't know whether he should laugh at Emperor Qinglong's incompetence.
We should still laugh at Emperor Qinglong's naiveté, who actually thought that just because the harem could control Su Tan temporarily, it meant that the harem could trap Su Tan for life.
Su Tan raised his eyebrows.
She looked at Lu Zhiheng with some surprise.
"I've always believed that the rumors about His Highness leaving the capital were simply a tactic by others to eliminate dissidents and intentionally tarnish His Highness's reputation. At least, that's not the case with His Highness that I've come into contact with."
"Now that I think about it, I actually have some prejudice against His Highness."
Su Tan shook his head again and corrected himself, "No, I should say that I have some prejudice against the word heresy."
"People always say that people are unconventional, but it's just because others think differently than they do. But is being different wrong?"
Su Tan is at least very different from the good woman in people's minds.
She doesn't want her own children, doesn't want her own husband, and disdains to be a good wife and mother.
She broke free from the backyard and no longer cared about the shackles that trapped her.
So she didn't care about her child's life or her ex-husband's life or death.
She didn't even bother to pretend.
This is considered absolutely heretical and even treasonous in the eyes of the world.
But Su Tan felt that such days made her feel extremely comfortable. It was better than the past when she had to worry about the Song family all the time, and was exhausted and worked hard for nothing.
But at least the days now are comfortable and free.
Su Tan's gaze fell on Lu Zhiheng.
"Your Highness's idea is very good, but unfortunately, I have no interest in becoming the founding empress, but -"
Su Tan raised his eyebrows when he said this.
"If Your Highness is so willing, why don't you try to see if the princess can become the founding empress?"
Emperor Qinglong has been sitting on the dragon throne all the time, but he has never done anything remarkable.
Emperor Qinglong has always ignored the people. All he has in mind is immortality. He doesn't care about the lives of the people. He doesn't care even if all his people die.
He is not even as good as Sui Sui.
Therefore, Su Tan felt that it was not impossible to let Sui Sui sit on the dragon throne.
Lu Zhiheng raised his eyebrows. He was originally just joking with Su Tan, but after hearing him say that, he hesitated for a moment and seriously thought about the possibility of letting Sui Sui become the empress.
then--
When Lu Zhiheng thought of Sui Sui's extremely unreliable character, his brows twitched fiercely.
"If she really had become the founding empress, those historians would have definitely criticized her to the point of being worthless."
Su Tan looked at him.
"The scolding is useless. Does it mean that the princess's personality is different from what they thought? Is the princess too rebellious?"
"But Your Highness, didn't we just say that being unconventional doesn't mean we're wrong? It's just because we're different from others."
"Perhaps the princess's methods may seem unconventional to others, but as long as the princess can truly achieve her wish, no one else will care what methods she uses. As long as the goal is achieved, that's all that matters."
"What others say is irrelevant and should not be taken to heart. What matters is how the princess sees herself, and how His Highness sees the princess."
When Su Tan said this, he met Lu Zhiheng's eyes, and his brows were full of undisguised ambition.
"Your Highness, do you intend for Sui Sui to remain a princess forever, with his life and death, honor and disgrace, all at the mercy of your father and the new emperor, or do you intend for Sui Sui to freely control his own life and death?"
"Have you really thought it through?"
Lu Zhiheng's brows twitched fiercely.
He always thought that he was the kind of person he had met since leaving Beijing, but now, after talking with Su Teng, he realized that compared with Su Tan, he was not a heretic at all.
I am simply a child who is as mature as can be and as sensible as can be!
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes fell on Su Tan, "What about you?"
"You really have no interest in imperial power at all, and don't want to be a supreme emperor at all?!"
Su Tan smiled. From Lu Zhiheng's tone, it seemed as if the emperor's throne was a piece of cabbage that she could get as long as she wanted it.
"Perhaps I have disappointed Your Highness, but I truly have no interest in this throne."
But it’s not because she disdains imperial power, but because what she wants is more difficult to obtain than imperial power.
"After all, there are still too many shackles in the human world. Your Highness, I want to fly to the sky."
She has been practicing diligently just to see what the scene in heaven is like.
