The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 473: Burnt Chest Hidden Cake Empress Ma and Strong-willed Empress Dowager Lu
On the canopy.

The rising red sun casts its light over Chuzhou city.

In the government office,
A woman holding a bamboo basket tiptoed from the side room to the kitchen.

Open the kitchen door and close it gently.

Ma, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a straw hairpin, took out a cloth package from the bamboo basket and opened it. There were some dough inside.

Then light the fire and place the steamer in place.

She turned her head to look at the door from time to time, and her hands moved faster.

Squatting in front of the stove, blowing air to the fire.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with steam.

When the steamer was opened, several steamed cakes were sitting in the steam.

With a smile on her face, Ma put the steamed cakes into the bamboo basket with her hands turning them upside down.

He pinched his earlobe with his fingers and cleaned up the kitchen.

He walked out of the room carrying a bamboo basket.

Walk out of the kitchen and around the wing rooms.

I just passed the gate of the second hospital and was about to walk out of the main gate.

Then a familiar woman's voice sounded from the side of the courtyard gate.

"I don't know what to eat today."

Ma's body stiffened, and then she hurriedly hid the bamboo basket behind some lake rocks.

As soon as he stood up, he turned around and took out a steamed bun from the basket.

He stuffed the cake into the clothes in front of his chest, with only a layer of cloth separating it from his chest.

She hurried to the main door and turned the corner, just in time to meet Madam Zhang and her maid.

"My daughter is in such a hurry, where are you going?"

Screen turn

The damp cell gave off a musty smell. Zhu Yuanzhang lay powerlessly on a pile of straw that was so dry that water could be squeezed out of it.

Suddenly, the cell door was pushed open!

A man ran in.

Perhaps he was not used to the darkness inside and could not see where the person was, so he called out repeatedly:
"Zhongba! Chongba!"

"I brought you some food!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sudden leap!
He held onto the wooden bars and looked at the woman outside the cell.

Ma's eyes sparkled in the dim cell.

She took out the still steaming steamed bun from her arms and handed it over.

……

[Zhu Yuanzhang's contributions were too great and he was very popular with the army, so Guo Zixing felt uneasy just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his labor.]

【So he delayed promoting Zhu Yuanzhang and instead kept finding faults with him. 】

[Guo Zixing's two sons were equally narrow-minded]

【Spread rumors and stir up trouble whenever there is a chance.】

[Guo Zixing was originally worried about Zhu Yuanzhang, and with the public gossip, he felt uncomfortable with Zhu Yuanzhang, so he began to deliberately suppress Zhu Yuanzhang.]

[He first transferred away several of Zhu Yuanzhang's trusted officers and staff, and then deprived Zhu Yuanzhang of his actual power]

[When the relationship was at its worst, Guo Zixing even locked Zhu Yuanzhang in a cell because of a disagreement and refused to allow him to eat or drink.]

[Empress Ma was anxious and suggested to curry favor with Madam Zhang. She gave all her private money and the prize money from the soldiers as gifts, asking her to speak well of her husband in front of Guo Zixing. [She also secretly put the freshly baked pancakes in her arms and gave them to him, burning her chest.]

[This scar made Zhu Yuanzhang respect his first wife for the rest of his life.]

……

{Lu Zhi: Ladies, let’s go out and watch a science fiction movie.}
{If Liu Bang had respected and cared for Empress Lü as Zhu Yuanzhang did, Empress Lü might have also been a good wife who helped the family as Empress Ma did.}
{If Zhu Yuanzhang had been as unkind and unfaithful to Empress Ma as Liu Bang was, Empress Ma might have become the second Empress Lü.}
{When comparing two people, we should not only compare their own abilities, but also their environments, the people around them, and the experiences they have had.}

{Not to mention that in that era when women were subordinate to men, the influence of their fathers, husbands, and sons on them was even greater}

{Just like Wu Zetian, she had to have a father who was an official before she could be selected into the palace, she had to have a husband who was an emperor before she could give birth to a prince and enter the circle of power struggle, and her son had to be the emperor before she could rule the country from behind the curtain as the empress dowager. Without any of these links, it would be useless.}
{To become a woman who goes down in history, one cannot do without these men. This is the sadness of women in that era.}

{Some people always say that it was because Liu Bang was a scumbag that Empress Lu was cruel, but this is just considering them as a couple.}
{In fact, they have long been more than just husband and wife but more of a political partnership, so internal family disputes are not that important.}
{In fact, it was precisely because of Empress Lü's fortitude and ruthlessness that she and Liu Bang were able to conquer and defend the Han Dynasty together.}
{In addition, it is very shallow for men to attribute Empress Lü's cruelty and Empress Ma's virtue to them.}
{Liu Bang was far less ruthless than Zhu Yuanzhang. Do you think it was because they had different wives?}

{Empress Lü is one of the only two women in Chinese history to have an imperial biography. She is an emperor in the true sense and should not be viewed within the gender framework.}
{The most ridiculous thing about Empress Lü is that her political achievements are compared with those of the greatest emperor in history, and her personal morality is compared with those of the most virtuous empress in history.}
……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng looked at the sky quietly.

Then he noticed that a mother and son were looking at him expectantly.

"You... I haven't seen Empress Lu many times..."

Liu Heng really didn't want to recall that woman.

Being humble and modest is the second best thing.

The key point is that the woman really said she would kill you.

“Some of what they said is still true.”

"Empress Lü assisted Emperor Gaozu in establishing the empire."

"Many of the ministers who were executed were also influenced by Empress Lü."

"They are not only husband and wife, but also a community of interests."

"but……"

Liu Heng hesitated for a moment, but finally said vaguely:

"The Emperor Gaozu did indeed let Empress Lü down."

Liu Qi wanted to ask more questions and looked at his mother's face.

Forget it.

……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
Liu Bingyi was not very shy about speaking to Emperor Gao.

"It is true that Emperor Gao had no intention of changing his ways, but the past experience did break Empress Lü's heart."

"She was originally a rich girl, and she married Emperor Gao because of the prophecy." "As soon as she entered the palace, she found that there was an illegitimate child who called her mother."

"Then there's the eating, drinking, and defecation of everyone in the family."

"Then the Emperor Gao suddenly became a bandit. Every day, we had to walk hundreds of miles back and forth to bring food and drink to the Emperor in the wild mountains and wilderness."

"I had only been waiting for a few years. Just when I heard that Emperor Gao was crowned the King of Han, he was captured by Xiang Yu again. I was terrified."

"When I returned to the Han camp, I suddenly discovered that a certain Concubine Qi...had given birth to a son who was very much loved by Emperor Gao..."

Xu Pingjun hastily read the Chronicle of Empress Lü

But it was also the first time that all the processes were linked together.

"The Emperor Gao is really..."

Then he smacked his lips and sighed:

"Empress Lü is indeed resolute."

……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
"The Emperor Taizu once said so."

Liu Hong held the cup and said leisurely:
"Empress Lü murdered the Three Zhaos and made Lü the king."

"If it weren't for the spirits of the state, Lü Lu and Lü Chan would have been executed, the mandate of heaven would have fallen, and the dynasty would have been safe."

"It is not appropriate for Empress Lü to be associated with a high temple and share the same ancestral ancestral throne with the Supreme Being."

"I agree with that."

"But after observing the sky for a long time, I have some other opinions."

The people below, who were discussing whether little Zhuge Liang should enter the Imperial College first or study at home, looked at the emperor.

"During the reign of Empress Lü, the people were free from the sufferings of the Warring States period, and the ruler and his subjects all wanted to rest and do nothing."

“No pursuit of enjoyment, no construction.”

"On the contrary, corvée labor was exempted and punishment was rarely used."

"In the face of Maodun's insults, he still yielded and did not provoke a border conflict."

"The people are engaged in farming, and their food and clothing are plentiful. The law of carrying books has been abolished, and the various schools of thought have been brought to light again."

"It is truly a great achievement for all the people in the world."

Only at this time did the ministers begin to carefully examine the emperor.

These words were not said in vain. The emperor's few words were equivalent to re-characterizing Lu Hou's behavior.

It also shows the emperor's attitude.

As long as it contributes to the stability of the people of the world...

Even the Liu clan members had to give in to him.

"His Majesty……"

The ministers didn't know what to say.

This matter is of great importance, but the emperor's changes are obvious to all.

Fortunately, the punishment was not in vain.

The Liu emperor can still be saved.

……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
"Humph."

Qianlong flicked his braid, showing a hint of anger.

"A bunch of spoiled brats who can't tell right from wrong, good from evil."

"Empress Xiaoci Gao was kind and wise, diligent in domestic affairs, and devoted to ancient teachings."

"Mother is the model of the whole nation, and her benevolence is known to all."

"As for Empress Lü, huh."

"The Queen Mother is in power, and she is full of jealousy and harm."

"The Lü clan was greatly enfeoffed, and the Tian Gang was rebellious."

"How can the two be compared?"

……

【But Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to fall out with Guo Zixing. 】

[At the same time, the more Guo Zixing treated him, the more respectful and cautious he became.]

[No matter how much he was beaten or scolded, he never complained. ]

[As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles tests a horse’s strength, and time reveals a person’s true character.]

[After a long time, Guo Zixing felt that he had let Zhu Yuanzhang down.]

[At the same time, he felt that without Zhu Yuanzhang, he himself would not be able to do things smoothly.]

[Other people's ideas are not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang's, and their judgments are not as clear as Zhu Yuanzhang's.]

【As his close associates also began to speak well of Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zixing began to dispel his suspicions about Zhu Yuanzhang.】

【But this is also related to the sudden emergence of external conflicts. 】

[Because the Yuan Dynasty at this time did not intend to let these people grow up in a wretched manner. ]

[In October, Yuan Prime Minister Tuotuo led his troops to besiege Gaoyou.]

……

Northern Qi Dynasty: Cultural and Propaganda Period
With tears in his eyes, Gao Yang asked Li Zu'e to apply medicine to him.

Looking at the sky, I was stunned.

"Sono Na, Sono Mei Wang."

Then he took a breath of cold air.

Li Zu'e looked at Gao Yang's swollen cheeks and said distressedly:
"Stop talking."

"I can't understand what you're saying when you're so swollen."
