Chapter 857: Be a powerful official or be an emperor?

Everyone in the barrage was talking about this issue. The marriage age in most dynasties had been changed. They didn’t know about it before, but now that they know, it’s naturally impossible for them to let this happen again.

Moreover, close relatives cannot remarry. Most of them have already called off the engagement. They have no choice but to do so because the emperor has given the order himself and they dare not disobey.

Besides, they are not the only ones who have withdrawn, so there is naturally nothing to say.

Sometimes life is much more important than face. If you are going to lose your life, what is the use of face?

Li Wu was still very satisfied with this. He thought that the women would be better off this way.

"Then I will continue to talk about your deeds, Queen Dugu.

In 572 AD, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yong, launched a coup and killed the powerful minister Yuwen Hu. Yang Jian, who had always refused to submit to Yuwen Hu, finally waited for his day to come to the fore.

At that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou also canonized Empress Dugu and Yang Jian's eldest daughter Yang Lihua as the Crown Princess, that is, the future Queen of Northern Zhou.

This good time did not last long before Emperor Wu of Zhou's trusted ministers advised him to get rid of Yang Jian as soon as possible to prevent him from having any ulterior motives.

Fortunately, Emperor Wu of Zhou did not believe those one-sided words, but this also made Yang Jian act more cautiously, hoping to reassure Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Yuwen Yong mobilized the whole country to conquer his long-time rival, the Gao family of Northern Qi. However, while preparing for unification, he fell ill and died young.

Crown Prince Yuwen Yun ascended the throne and appointed Empress Dugu's eldest daughter Yang Lihua as the empress, and Yang Jian became the father-in-law of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

After Emperor Xuan of Zhou, Yuwen Yun, came to power, he behaved in an eccentric and violent manner, contrary to his father, Yuwen Yong, who worked hard to govern the country.

He was also afraid that another Yuwen Hu would appear in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he asked Yang Jian to assist in the administration and killed a large number of clan ministers.

The Guanlong nobles were also worried about this.

At that time, Yang Jian tried to persuade Yuwen Yong not to kill so many people, but Yuwen Yong did not listen and even held a grudge against Yang Jian.

But he couldn't kill Yang Jian, so he could only vent his anger on Yang Lihua.

So Yuwen Yun issued an edict to enthrone four queens, putting them on an equal footing with Queen Yang Lihua, in an attempt to suppress Yang Jian and even wanted to sentence Yang Lihua to death.

After Empress Dugu knew about this, she rushed to the palace to plead for your daughter Yang Lihua, and even knocked her head until it was broken, before Yuwen Yong gave in.

Alas, he is also a tyrant," Li Wu sighed. Yang Lihua was unlucky for the rest of her life.

When Empress Dugu heard this, she clenched her fists, thinking back to the past. It was not easy along the way, and if she was not careful, her whole family might die.

"That Yuwen Yun is so absurd that he even enthrone four queens," Queen Dowager Xuan was speechless. How absurd were the later emperors? How could he enthrone the queen so casually?

Empress Dugu also smiled awkwardly. How could she defend herself? She looked down upon Yuwen Yong, and he humiliated her daughter like this. She hated him very much, but he was the emperor. What else could she do?

In front of the sky curtain, the other emperors were also speechless. What kind of emperor was this? It was simply ridiculous.

What is a queen? She is the mother of the country, and there can only be one!

"Queen Dowager Xuan, you still don't have enough experience. What's the big deal about enthroning four queens? There were so many ridiculous emperors, so many that they were really countless. Many emperors insulted the word emperor when they became emperors," Li Wu shook her head. She felt that she would do a better job than many emperors.

No, many people who come to power do better than some ridiculous emperors. As long as they don't seek death, that's enough.

Queen Dowager Xuan was silent. She had also heard what the little immortal said before and didn't want to talk anymore. She didn't really want to know what those ridiculous emperors were like.

"Little immortal, please continue talking," said the Queen Dowager Xuan. Otherwise, she didn't want to listen to any more talk about those emperors.

She should continue eating. She still likes this fruit very much. It is delicious.

"Well, well, this Yuwen Yun died at a young age of only 22 due to his long-term indulgence in alcohol and sex.

Before his death, he asked Liu Fang and Zheng Yi to entrust him with his final affairs.

These two people had a good relationship with Yang Jian. For the sake of political speculation, they forged an imperial edict to let Yang Jian enter the palace to assist in government affairs.

The death of Yuwen Yun can be said to be a day of success for you and your wife, Empress Dugu.

It depends on how Yang Jian chooses.

The young emperor Yuwen Chan was only 8 years old, and the most important thing was that he was not Yang Lihua’s biological son. If he was, then there would be no need to think too much about it. But if he was not, then it would be difficult to deal with.

At that time, Yang Jian held the power of regent, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Should we follow the example of Duke Zhou in assisting the government or learn from Wang Mang in usurping the throne?"

Li Wu looked at Empress Dugu. She also knew that Empress Dugu had her own insights and talents, and could help Yang Jian in many cases.

The ancestors in front of the sky heard what the little immortal said. What would they do if they were in this situation?

This is indeed a question worth thinking about.

However, most people in the barrage said that they were loyal.

He would choose the same as Zhou Gong, not the same as Wang Mang. Wang Mang was furious. What was wrong with him usurping the throne? He just did what everyone else wanted to do.

Not to mention that they are not interested in the throne, he would not believe a word of it. They said that themselves, but they themselves do not believe it. It is okay to deceive others, but they even want to deceive themselves. It is really funny.

Wang Mang spoke passionately, trampling on the faces of some people and exposing their hypocritical side. Those people were very angry and hated Wang Mang.

What they said were all true. They were all loyal to their country and would not usurp the throne like Wang Mang did.

Humph, no matter what Wang Mang said, he, Wang Mang, was slandering them.

When others saw the quarrel, they were speechless and could only watch.

In fact, these are just for listening, but it is impossible to really believe them.

"What if it were you, little immortal? What would you do?" Queen Dugu asked with a smile.

Li Wu coughed twice. "As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Who doesn't want to be an emperor? If you have the ability and conditions, how could you not want to be one?"

"What the little immortal said is absolutely right," Empress Dowager Xiao laughed.

In front of the sky, some people broke down. "Little Immortal, stop talking, stop talking. That bastard Wang Mang is scolding them again. They can't scold him anymore. They can't scold him anymore."

Wang Mang’s curses were so sincere that they were disgusting to watch, and he used a lot of foul language.

Wang Mang said that the little immortal understood him. Who doesn't want to be an emperor? He knows those people too well.

"So when Yang Jian was hesitating, Empress Dugu sent someone to tell Yang Jian a message.

The big thing has already happened, we must not give up our position as the beast on which we are riding. Try your best!

Empress Dugu, you may have learned the lesson from Yuwen Hu. Rather than being a powerful minister and falling into disgrace, it would be better for you to become the emperor directly, change the dynasty, and become a hero of the time.

And no one believed that the 8-year-old emperor could maintain his throne.

Coupled with what Yuwen Yun did when he was in power, the Guanlong nobles no longer have any loyalty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
