I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 122 Jackson: Will we have a female president? Issue setting: The benefits of your two-party system!
【American Yingzong·Cleveland: Also? Your Majesty Yuwen, as far as I know...you don't know that there is a woman as the emperor over there? 】

Cleveland keenly noticed that Zhu Houzhao had leaked something.

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: Huh? What do you mean, we have a woman as the emperor here! In our Wei Dynasty, bah... In the previous dynasty, a girl named Yuan ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor. But she only became emperor for one day and died immediately. Still a baby girl who was less than a hundred days old. 】

Zhu Houzhao said he was lucky because he knew all the details of history.

Otherwise, the secret is really revealed.

Of course, this historical knowledge is not isolated.

Miss Yuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty was actually the first female emperor of China, two hundred years earlier than Wu Zetian.

It was just that the emperor died suddenly and Miss Yuan was just born. Empress Dowager Hu deliberately called this prince a prince and directly proclaimed her as emperor, with the reign title: Wu Tai!

Then after the incident was revealed, he was thrown into the Yellow River by the true emperor's godfather Er Zhurong together with the Queen Mother Hu, and died without knowing anything.

Zhu Houzhao is naturally familiar with Er Zhurong's history.

By the way, to paraphrase Yuwen Yun... The Yuwen family were loyal ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Without Empress Dowager Hu's operation, whether they could have established the Northern Zhou Dynasty is still one thing.

Miss Yuan can also be posthumously named the female martyr ancestor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Really? Do you actually have a queen over there? 】

It was Cleveland's turn to wonder.

[Merezu Louis XVI: What’s so strange about a queen? Elizabeth and Catherine, aren’t they all queens? Especially Ekaterina, the Russian empress, she is very good and does better than most emperors. I admire her a little. Cleveland, let alone...the British Victoria, can she compare to her? 】

Louis XVI was not curious about this, but felt that the Victoria in Cleveland's tone seemed to be a queen no less than Catherine.

Before him, Britain also had Elizabeth I, from 1533 to 1603.

There is also the Russian Empress Catherine, who died less than a few decades ago, from 1684 to 1727.

There are two excellent queens as examples, and they are naturally not surprising.

[Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yun: Huh? ah? What's going on over there? Are there two other queens? Over there, can a woman really be the emperor? 】

Zhu Houzhao was really curious now. Is the Western monarchy really so different from theirs that they can openly accept a woman as emperor?
Wu Zetian has just appeared here, and everyone is on guard.

The Ming Dynasty even stipulated that the harem should not interfere with politics, and the Ming Dynasty could only marry commoner women as queens. As a result, there were no relatives to check and balance the civil servants, and they suffered greatly.

From this point, Zhu Houzhao felt a little resentful towards Wu Zetian.

[Mei Shizu Lincoln: Your Majesty Yuwen, don’t be curious. When a woman becomes emperor, she may be better than a man. The current Queen Victoria...is a bit like Queen Catherine. All her political actions are handled well through Prince Albert. It's a pity... Prince Albert died long ago, and she is currently retired. I don't know if she will be unable to recover. 】

Lincoln knew the state of Queen Victoria now. After all, when Albert died two years ago, they also sent people to attend the funeral.

At this time, Queen Victoria was widowed in middle age and was approaching retirement.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: President Lincoln, no! She disappeared for almost ten years before becoming active again. After reviving, she became a symbol and symbol of Britain and gained great popularity. Now, the British side is preparing for a huge ceremony for her 60th anniversary next year, and we are all invited. 】

[In short... In terms of political means, she may not be as good as Queen Catherine, but during their reign, their country's territory and all aspects have developed by leaps and bounds. Queen Victoria may be as great and important to Britain as Empress Catherine is to Russia! 】

[During her reign, she defeated almost all opponents except Tsarist Russia. In all aspects, Britain truly became the strongest in human history. She almost represents the glory and symbol of the British sun that never sets...]

Cleveland didn't look down on this woman in his words, he just respected her.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Could such a girl, such a young girl...become a queen like Catherine again? This makes me have to believe in theology. Russia is great because of one queen, and now Britain has become great because of two queens...Cleveland, after me, will we have a female president in the United States? Will America become stronger with a female president? 】

As soon as Victoria came out, Jackson couldn't help but wonder, is there really such a mythical theology that women thrive in the country? Should the United States also have a female president?

Although they are still biased against women's participation in politics and have not yet given women the right to vote, they can still fantasize about it.

[American Taizu Washington: Well...it stands to reason that there should be, right? Our constitution does not restrict women from running for president...]

This question made even Washington hesitate.

After all, their Declaration of Independence declared that everyone is equal, but in the context of the colonial era, colonial law defaulted to the fact that a married woman's property, wages, body and even the children she conceived were considered the husband's private property and could be used at will.

There is no right to vote, let alone the right to elect.

[American Emperor Jefferson: There is also an American Queen in our United States? This... is a bit unimaginable. I remember... Adams seemed to have tactfully rejected this proposal to his wife. 】

As soon as the topic came up, Jefferson had something to say.

After all, Adams' first lady, Abigail Adams, was a pioneer in the American women's rights movement. She once suggested to Adams that women should have more power under the rule of the new country.

But Adams politely refused, saying that a woman did not need more power, or even the right to vote, because she could directly affect the voting power of her husband or son at home, which was considered a disguised right to vote.

This is no longer a matter of course, and has even become an unspoken rule.

After all, Adams's wife at the time also came from a very influential colonial family, and her proposals were rejected, let alone other women.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Talking about Victoria and Ekaterina, can it be extended to ourselves... This topic is not very pleasant. Do you really want me to say it? 】

Cleveland was a little surprised, and he also had a headache thinking about the currently popular women's movement.

[Mercy Lincoln: Huh? Cleveland, isn't it? There really is a woman as president? 】

Lincoln was intrigued by Cleveland.

no……

Haven't these people learned the lesson about the consequences of women interfering in politics? Why are they still openly discussing the issue of women being able to continue to be emperors?

Zhu Houzhao was shocked, once again sensing the gap between east and west.

Do not……

Isn't this the gap between East and West, but the gap between the Queen?
Is it because their queen has managed the country better, so they don’t mind letting women continue to be in politics or even become emperors?
And the reason why they are so defensive is because Wu Zetian can't do it well?
Zhu Houzhao had a flash of inspiration and seemed to have come up with a common sense inference.

He even couldn't help but fantasize that if Wu Zetian lived longer, maybe Empress Wei would really come forward, and if their private lives were better behaved, maybe the Kaiyuan era would be born in the hands of Empress Wei.

So, if two empresses came one after another, maybe Chinese history would also take a big turn in Wu Zhou?
This hypothesis made Zhu Houzhao shake his head. How could it be possible... Scholars might not agree!
This fleeting thought made Zhu Houzhao lose his mind for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that Cleveland continued the topic.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Presidents, please rest assured that we still don’t have a female president at the moment, but we may not know in the future. Because... influenced by the Civil War and the abolition movement, we later ratified the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which expanded male voting rights. Then the Fifteenth Amendment almost made it clear that black people also have the right to vote...]

[This series of loosening of voting rights has given women hope. They have been asking for voting rights since the 70s until now. It gives me a headache. There is still a lot of resistance to their voting rights, at least from what I can see. If they want voting rights in the next ten or twenty years, they are unlikely to succeed. 】Cleveland briefly talked about the development of women’s suffrage in the United States.

This is also true. Women's right to vote in the United States took more than a hundred years of hard work by women's organizations, and even went through World War I. It was not until the 1920th Amendment in 1964 that women were truly given the right to vote. However, only white women had the right to vote, and women of other races would not have the right to vote until , when black women had the right to vote.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: This...all black people have the right to vote? Was the civil war so influential? 】

[American Taizu Washington: Huh? Those slaves also had the right to vote? 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: What? You actually let slaves have the right to vote? 】

Although Cleveland was talking about women's right to vote, he also revealed something here that shocked several presidents.

The black slaves in their eyes actually have the right to vote?

This is more subversive than having a woman as president.

[Mercier Lincoln: This...did the Civil War change these things? Such a change is really big! 】

Lincoln was slightly expecting it.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Huh? A slave can also be your president...how do you continue to live longer and longer? 】

When this thing came out, Louis XVI couldn't accept it.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: How should I put this matter...I can only tell you with great regret that the presidents should be familiar with it and will not be surprised. Some people chanted too many slogans during the election campaign, and some unbelievable things were inexplicably agreed to or even passed...]

Faced with everyone's incomprehension, Cleveland told the truth that sometimes he didn't understand.

So, how did these guys go from talking about the queen, to talking about a female president, to talking about a slave being the president?
Zhu Houzhao was speechless, saying that he could not keep up with his ideas.

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: So... where have you been talking about again? Can't you say something that I can understand? 】

The trumpet immediately protested.

[Supreme Group Leader: So, Cleveland, are you done with your British history? 】

The boss couldn't help but urge, this chat really needs to be controlled, otherwise these people will always talk about something incomprehensible.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Sorry, group leader, our topic seems to have gotten sidetracked. Enough said... That's pretty much it for a brief history of Britain, coming to Queen Victoria. I don’t even know whether I will become history first or she will become history first...]

Cleveland quickly recovered.

[Supreme Group Leader: Okay, now that we’re done, let’s move on to the next item. Our time was somewhat wasted. 】

One-third of the time for sending a gift to the chat group has passed, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but urge it.

Although the chat just now was very informative and fruitful, he still had business to attend to.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Okay... Then the next one seems to be gone. I have just given the gold distribution map. By the way, here’s another one, a gift for President Lincoln...】

[Mercy Lincoln: Do I have a gift too? 】

[American Ying Zong Cleveland: Yes, I originally wanted to give you a drawing of a state-of-the-art bulletproof helmet, but... I thought about it and let it go. After all, you like to go to the opera, and you're watching "My American Relatives," and it would be too weird to wear a helmet to the theater. So... I will give you the cat food formula that is currently popular among our upper-class people. You can take good care of your cat... and spend more time with it when you have time. 】

After saying that, Cleveland sent a picture of the cat food manufacturing formula.

He spent a lot of thought on Lincoln's gift.

After all, Lincoln was known to go to the opera—with great joy.

If you want to save Lincoln, you must find him another hobby that makes him happy.

He likes cats, that's right, he can only send cat food formula.

Here is a little knowledge: cat food was born as the middle class in the United States grew after World War I. With various hobbies for raising pets, the pet industry also came into being.

Lincoln was damaged.

[Mercier Lincoln: Bulletproof helmet and cat food formula, your gifts are really scary and a little warm. However, I still have to thank you for the gift, and I will be careful about my American relatives. 】

Lincoln was dumbfounded for a moment, knowing that Cleveland was also euphemistically hinting at where and how he would be assassinated.

This can be considered a gift.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: You're welcome, I hope you like it. 】

[Supreme Group Leader: Okay, now that the gifts have been delivered, let’s start the next step. 】

It was finally over, and Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to start the next step.

[American Taizong Jefferson: Group leader, and I...Cleveland, have you forgotten the resource distribution map of Louisiana? Is my sense of presence in the group so low? 】

Jefferson couldn't help but speak.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Sorry, I really forgot about you, President Jefferson. Here you go! 】

Cleveland also dutifully sent a distribution map of Louisiana.

This episode also made people in the group dumbfounded. Only then did Zhu Houzhao notice that Jefferson's presence in the group was really not strong.

[Supreme Group Leader: So, this link is over now, right? We can start the second link! 】

[American Taizu Washington: Turn it on, group leader. 】

[Meixuanzong Jackson: What topic do you have this time, group leader? 】

Everyone adjusted their mood, knowing that now is the time for the chat group to officially start posting useful information.

[Supreme group leader: Of course there is a topic! Let's enter the topic link... The first topic is, didn't Cleveland say that the United States has become very powerful. So, let’s talk about how you have become stronger under the two-party system, and how do your two parties play a role in the process of becoming stronger? Does it have any negative impact on your development? 】

Zhu Houzhao raised the issue straight to the point.

This issue is an important issue about how his two-Beijing and two-cabinet system can learn from the American two-party system.

It has a practical effect on his Ming Dynasty!
