Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Zheng Liwan's heart trembled when she was looked at by Zheng Zhengjin, but she quickly stabilized her body and whispered: "Sir, I'm just curious!"

Then she turned to look at Yu Youwei and Li Xueyan and asked, "Are you curious?"

"Curious, aren't we waiting for the Master to start talking?" Yu Youwei gave Zheng Liwan a curious look. She was curious why in the Master's eyes, she felt that their status seemed very high. At least equal to men.

"Lü Zhi, the first empress in history, if it weren't for Lü Zhi, the Han Dynasty would have been over after that bastard Liu Bang died, and the Han Dynasty would have ruled for 400 years. So there is no doubt that Lü Zhi was an outstanding politician. If Lü Zhi couldn't govern the country well, then why didn't anyone rebel when the Han Dynasty ruled the country?
This shows that during the reign of Empress Lü, the political situation was clear. People in later generations thought that Empress Lü was cruel, but that was not caused by some useless person in Liu Bang. In fact, those who criticized Empress Lü for being a hen crowing at dawn were all useless men. "What Zheng Zhengjin said was true. Anyone who thought that Empress Lü was a hen crowing at dawn and brought disaster to the Han Dynasty was a useless man.

Zheng Liwan, Li Xueyan and Yu Youwei did not expect that Zheng Zhengjin's evaluation of Lu Zhi was so high.

"A beautiful woman is the embellishment of a prosperous dynasty, but can also be the enchantress of a country's downfall. Many men never look for reason in themselves." Zheng Zhengjin said again.

"Do you know Han Xin?" Zheng Zhengjin asked.

The three women all nodded. After all, Han Xin's reputation was so great. If there was no Han Xin, then the Han Dynasty would be in ruins in the future.

"Do you know how she died in the end?" Zheng Zhengjin asked curiously.

"Wasn't Han Xin killed by Lu Zhi?" the three women asked in unison.

"Yes, Han Xin did die at the hands of Lu Zhi, but if there was no order from Liu Bang, why did Lu Zhi kill Han Xin at that time? Besides, Liu Bang was still alive, so how dare Lu Zhi kill Han Xin? The saying 'when the birds are dead, the bow is put away' refers to the ruthless and ungrateful Liu Bang." In fact, Zheng Zhengjin really disliked the historical Liu Bang. He was simply not a human being.

"As for Concubine Qi, the 'human pig' incident, it was actually entirely her own fault, and it had a lot to do with Liu Bang's preference for concubines over wives. Originally, after Liu Bang's death, Empress Lü did not do anything to Concubine Qi, or she no longer took her seriously, but Concubine Qi was a person who didn't know what was good for her and insisted on seeking death. As for what was written in the history books, that Empress Lü lived for so long after turning Concubine Qi into a human pig, this is simply a fairy tale.

Otherwise, why did Liu Bang's other wives live well? On the contrary, Liu Ruyi and Lady Qi died tragically. This is cause and effect. "

“As for those that have some gender-biased connotations, and history books are written by the victors, it has been so many years now, after all, who knows the truth at that time? We can only learn about what happened from a few words in the book, but we have to look at it from an impartial perspective. No matter how cruel Lu Zhi was as described in the Records of the Grand Historian and by others, we have to admit that as a woman, Lu Zhi stabilized the foundation of the Han Dynasty.” Zheng Zhengjin actually wanted to say that if he were Lu Zhi, he would have proclaimed himself emperor long ago.

Just like Wu Zetian in another time and space, what did it matter if she was a woman? She became emperor and eventually left behind a monument without words. People in later generations can write whatever they want. The pen is given to you.

None of the three women could have imagined that Zheng Zhengjin would have such a high opinion of Lu Zhi.

Zheng Zhengjin knew that in such a feudal society, life was difficult for women. Lu Zhi, Wu Zetian and others were all outstanding people of their time. If Lu Zhi had become emperor like Wu Zetian, there would have been no Han Dynasty at all!
But if we talk about a ruthless person, it would still be Wu Zetian, after all, she killed all the other bloodlines of the Li family.

Zheng Zhengjin asked, "Do you still want to hear the story? I was distracted by your topic just now. If you want to hear it later, I'll tell you again." "I want to hear it." Yu Youwei, her beautiful eyes blinking, looked like a complete little fangirl.

"Last time, we talked about how Bai Suzhen was looking for the young man who saved her more than a thousand years ago in the West Lake," Zheng Zhengjin took a sip of tea and thought, since Zheng Zhengjin said it was a sadomasochistic love story, then of course it would start with sweetness and end with sadomasochism.

Then Zheng Zhengjin began to tell the story of how Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian met, got to know each other, and became friends. However, because Xu Xian had no money to open a medicine shop, Bai Suzhen asked Xiaoqing to steal a lot of official silver from the corrupt official's house.

Later, the matter of the official silver was discovered, but the corrupt officials did not dare to chop off Xu Xian's head. Xu Xian could not explain where the official silver came from. Even if Xu Xian explained, the prefect did not believe it. Moreover, Xu Xian's brother-in-law was the guard of the governor at that time. In the end, Xu Xian could only be exiled to Zhenjiang.

When in Zhenjiang, Bai Suzhen felt very guilty towards Xu Xian, so she opened a medicine shop with him and then married Xu Xian.

During her time in Zhenjiang, Bai Suzhen had a very good reputation and was regarded by many as the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves people from suffering.

When the two years were up, Xu Xian returned to Hangzhou with Bai Niangzi and Xiao Qing.

During this period, the family got along very harmoniously.

But one day, Xu Xian went out and met a monk on the street, and then the tragedy began!
This monk did not meet Xu Xian by chance, but was waiting for him deliberately because he was jealous that Xu Xian had a snake demon like Bai Suzhen who was willing to sacrifice everything for him, so he wanted to destroy it all. "

"Ah? Aren't monks free from all desires?" the three women asked in surprise!
"Oh, by the way, are there any of you who believe in Buddhism?" Zheng Zhengjin asked.

The three girls all had strange expressions on their faces, and Zheng Zhengjin realized that the three girls in front of him were actually quite devout Buddhists.

It's just that the poison hasn't been too severe yet.

"Well, this is just the content of my storybook. If you believe in Buddhism, just listen to it." Zheng Zhengjin said indifferently. He couldn't tell the three girls that Buddhism was a crooked way!
The three girls shook their heads and said to Zheng Zhengjin, "Sir, please continue. We are fine. We have only been to the Buddhist temple in Chang'an before and prayed to Yue Lao there."

"? Why are you begging that old guy for help! He's a trap. The last time I told you the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, it was because he got drunk and hooked up with her." Zheng Zhengjin said casually.

But these words were different in the eyes of the three women. After all, Yue Lao was a deity, and Zheng Zhengjin knew that Yue Lao was drunk. Doesn't that mean Zheng Zhengjin was also a deity? Although everyone had doubts before, there was no solid evidence. Now it's solid evidence.
