Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 436: Don’t fight if I don’t give it to you

"Begging off charges! Hey."

Pang Tong shook his head:

"It seems that Wu Zhao is very clear about what he has done."

Everything he did was like a farce. When it was about to end and get back on track, instead of promoting talents to rule the world and apologize to the people, he started thinking in advance about going to the Lord of Taishan Mansion to take care of things after his death.

What he saw was an old woman who was afraid of death, not a leader who could lead hundreds of kingdoms.

At this time, Zhang Fei weakly raised his hand. Seeing his elder brother glance over, he spoke more carefully:

"Although I don't know what the three officials and nine palaces are...but doesn't this old lady worship Buddhism?"

I was so surprised by this reminder:

When you ascended the throne, you claimed that you were the reincarnation of Maitreya. Why do you want to get rid of your sins but don't adhere to Buddhist rituals now?

For a moment, everyone felt dumbfounded.

It's not surprising that Jian Yong walked to the north to see a lot:

"They behave like the people, offering sacrifices to hundreds of gods but seeking only one spirit."

Kong Ming now does not have a cold about these, shook his head:

"If she had been diligent in governing her early on, her reputation might be as good as that of Queen He Xi."

Pang Tong and Liu Bei nodded in agreement.

Last year, after listening to Guangmu talking about Zhang Heng, Cai Lun and other scientific figures, when several people chatted in their spare time, they inevitably mentioned the empress of Emperor Xiaohe.

As the granddaughter of Deng Yu, the leader of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, Deng Sui, Queen of Hexi, ruled for sixteen years like Wu Zhao.

However, she did not change her country's name. Instead, she took charge of the government in the name of "Female Queen" and left behind a series of achievements.

The Qiang rebellion was suppressed internally, and the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Southern Xiongnu were conquered externally.

At the top, he can promote Cai Hou to make paper, and Zhang Heng can be ordered to understand astronomy. At the bottom, he can care for the country and rescue the victims.

Moreover, Queen Hexi of the Han Dynasty actually brought the Western Region into the hands of the Han family again, instead of the two sages of the Tang Dynasty doing it over and over again.

People at that time praised Queen Hexi for her ability to "restore and destroy a country" and her "unparalleled achievements".

In terms of position, Queen Hexi is indeed not as ambitious as this old lady.

In terms of achievements, when Empress Hexi was in power, she was more than a hundred times better off by herself.

Fa Zheng looked up to refute:

"Empress Hexi is worthy of her filial piety to Emperor He, and she does not go against the will of the country and the people. She does not treat a country of ten thousand chariots as a child's play, and saves the country from misfortune."

"How can such a person be compared?"

Fazheng's statement attracted more people to nod in agreement, and Lu Su also said from a fair perspective:

"If you choose to choose, even if the natural disasters are in charge with the daughter -in -law, but at that time, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty was rejuvenated. Li Wu's dispute is difficult to do things. "

Lu Su's sigh also made everyone agree. At least now it seems that if you are in this Wu Zhou, it will be difficult to save your wealth and life, let alone do anything.

……

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin approached and took a closer look at the gold slips that were reflected on the light screen, and he could see every word on them very clearly.

Finally, he shook his head and sighed:

"It's a good thing, but it's a dead thing."

From the perspective of later generations, there are no three officials and nine houses in this world.

Perhaps, Li Shimin had a slightly malicious thought, or maybe it was simply because the Immortal Lords did not want to get rid of the sins of this "lord of the country".

There are different opinions on where the crime was that Wu Zetian wanted to eliminate, but what is certain is that the crime definitely did not lie in the three officials and nine palaces of the Xian family.

"The golden slips seek to expel sins from Heaven, so how can we imitate the Han Dynasty and issue imperial edicts to the world?"

Li Shimin commented, then returned to the couch and sat down, no longer interested in it.

But even a little special thoughts:

"This thing can become a treasure of the town hall. I don't know if I can leave it to future generations. Where can I keep it as a treasure?"

"But in this case, gold is immortal, otherwise I would also leave a gold slip and take it to the tomb?"

"But what is the best inscription?"

[Theoretically speaking, it is extremely difficult for the Wu and Li families to reconcile with each other due to their blood feud.

Also theoretically speaking, if the two parties have a common and unprecedentedly powerful enemy, then old grudges will be nothing.

So who is the common enemy between the two parties? That is of course Wu Zetian... Oh, cross that out, of course it is the Zhang brothers who are proficient in singing, dancing and excellent in speaking skills.

After the old lady came back from Songshan in 701, she became more and more old-fashioned, and she became increasingly unable to deal with government affairs, so she naturally entrusted the daily government affairs to the two brothers.

Perhaps it was because of the large-scale marriage between the two parties that the Wu family reset its posture:

If you can't be Zhengtong of Wuzhou, it's not bad to be Li Tang's relative. According to the "Old Book of Tang" records, in this year Li Chongrun, the legitimate son of Emperor Li Xian, his sixth daughter Yongtai Princess, and her husband Wu Feng's son Wu Yanji, all stood up to beat the drum and called the Zhang brothers' dictatorship.

Logically speaking, it makes sense. After all, the old lady's age is on display here, and the emperor's heir has been established. Even if he wants to take over government affairs, it should be the emperor's heir who does it. What do two pieces mean?

Wu Zetian's response was thunderous, and Li Xian's children and the Wu family were killed with a stick - at least that's what the "Old Book of Tang" wrote.

But in fact, the details of this case are very complicated, and whether the Wu and Li families can ease their conflicts is secondary.

The tomb of Princess Yongtai Li Xianhui was discovered in 1960. After archeology, it was inferred from the epitaph of Princess Yongtai that the details were very different from the records in the "Old Book of Tang".

First of all, the way of death of her husband Wu Yanji in the epitaph is "sang xiong e", that is, he committed suicide or died with a sword, not a stick.

After archeology of Princess Yongtai's coffin, scholars determined that Li Xianhui's death was caused by dystocia and not by a stick.

An extra comment here is that in ancient times, from the royal family to the common people, difficult childbirth due to marriage too early was very common, and many women lost their lives as a result.

Gynecology in ancient Chinese medicine has been developing throughout the dynasties, which is worthy of recognition, but the progress in obstetrics and gynecology has always been quite slow.

This point was at the forefront of the West after the Renaissance. Around the 16th century, forceps began to be used to assist in childbirth to avoid difficult births. By the 18th century, the use of forceps had become more common in the West.

Looking back, it is not too difficult to look at the principles and ideas of making forceps. If female doctors could be trained in ancient times, or if stereotypes could be abandoned to allow doctors to be more involved in the entire process of obstetrics and gynecology, I believe there might be similar developments.

It was far away, and continued to talk about Li Chongrun's true cause of death.

"Zizhi Tongjian" records a sentence later said by Empress Wei, saying that "the death of Chongrun is the result of Chongfu".

The records of Zizhi Tongjian cannot be fully trusted, but firstly, Li Xian did not refute it, and secondly, Empress Wei directly expelled Li Chongfu after the Shenlong Coup, and Li Xian did not recall him until his death, which shows that there is still some credibility.

Li Chongfu's identity is also quite special. He is two years older than Li Chongrun and is the eldest son of Li Xian, the emperor's heir.

Li Xian's first wife, Empress Wei, only had one son and four daughters, which meant that Li Chongrun only had one legitimate son. If Li Chongrun died, then according to the ancient rule of giving priority to legitimate sons and then to eldest son, Li Chongfu would be extremely close to the throne.

After re-examining the relationship between the characters, and combining it with the statement in the "Old Book of Tang", we can make a more realistic guess. Princess Yongtai went to visit her brother when she was pregnant, and Wu Yanji went with her. During the dinner, they talked about how powerful the two princesses were. Li Chongfu overheard his complaints and reported them to Zhang Yizhi. Wu Zetian then ordered Wu Yanji and Li Chongrun to die.

Does Li Chongfu have any motive for doing this? Of course, his wife is Zhang Yizhi's niece, but the two are his backing.

Also in the old Tang books, there is a record of a piece of leftover material that is also very thought-provoking when combined with the time.

In August 701, Su Anheng, a scholar from Jizhou, went to visit Wu Zetian and asked him to return the prince to power and depose the prince surnamed Wu. The old lady's attitude was to "send him off with food and comfort".

In September of the same year, the emperor's grandson Li Chongrun was sentenced to death.

In May 702, Su Anheng, a bachelor in Jizhou, sent a petition to return the prince to power. This time the old lady's attitude was "not accepting".

The two attitudes can be said to be completely opposite, and you can clearly see the change in the old lady's attitude.

The change from "welcome" to "defensive" attitude toward the Li family's heir also directly led to Wu Zhou's final end: the Shenlong Coup. 】

"The battle for the right to inherit the throne..."

Changsun Wuji actually felt that it was not too unexpected.

For those who have seen their power with their own eyes, the emperor's murderer is also possible to kill the emperor.

But it was still the same situation where the concubines in the East Palace fought for the throne, hooked up with powerful eunuchs outside and connected with relatives inside, and finally led to the emperor's intervention. This kind of development is more acceptable.

After all, that is the throne of the Tang Dynasty!

Put yourself in his shoes, the Wu family has always wanted to be the crown prince and strive to be the first in everything. It can be seen that the life of Li Xian's lineage must not be very satisfactory. Under such circumstances, he suddenly became a royal nobleman, and there was only one legitimate son between him and the throne... …

Changsun Wuji licked his lips, letting himself not think about these things for the time being, and instead thinking from the perspective of a qualified Tang minister: Is there a system and method to avoid such a battle for the right to inherit the throne?

Queen Changsun first sympathized with the princess who died in childbirth.

Both his brother and husband suffered disaster, and he himself also died in childbirth. In the end, it would take future generations to open the coffin and examine the bones to gradually piece together the record that is difficult to explain, and he is also his unlucky descendant.

However, even if she opened her eyes, although she didn't understand what the producing clamping, she almost understood her role at a glance, even if she asked:

"Yan will be doing it, so he must draw it carefully."

Yan Liben nodded, feeling that it was natural.

In comparison, Sun Simiao understood its function at a glance. On the one hand, he lamented its simplicity and ease of use, and on the other hand, he derived more ideas.

For example, since we can borrow foreign objects, we can also imitate the method of retrieving stillborn fetuses. Maybe we can also borrow this object to treat difficult births of cattle and sheep?

After all, he has also been in court in the village. The cattle and sheep are the treasures of the people. If they suffer from illness, the people will not care whether he is a doctor or an animal doctor. They will only kneel in front of them and ask for help. He is also soft-hearted...

As for the female doctor... Sun Simiao shook his head inwardly and felt that this matter was more difficult, but if he went to talk to His Majesty, maybe there would be a solution?

But because of this, Sun Simiao also came up with more ideas. It seems that doctors in later generations used foreign substances to treat many diseases.

Maybe he should also ask His Majesty to come to the Imperial Medical Office so that the general can buy some things that are convenient for practicing medicine?

　I am still coughing violently, so I must be on guard against influenza A and don’t take it lightly.
