Chapter 356 Disaster for the country and the people
After losing his empress, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's temperament changed drastically. Everyone serving in the palace felt insecure, fearing that they would be chopped to pieces by this often irritable emperor.
The two queens also carefully put away the medicine and did not eat it immediately.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Ming and Emperor Chengzu of Ming in front of the sky curtain breathed a sigh of relief. With the medicine from the immortal, they felt relieved.
"Three queens, you have to eat more, otherwise it will be wasted," Li Wu said. The three queens nodded. They couldn't just sit there and watch the food being wasted.
The kind that you can’t waste even if you’re full.
Even if they are queens, they cannot be wasted!
As a role model, and on the sky, what will people in the world think if we waste food?
Of course, they are very frugal people and naturally would not waste things on their own initiative.
"My little fairy, you have prepared too much," Empress Xu shook her head and said with a smile, "It will make the three of us die of overeating."
"That's right, but we won't waste it," Empress Ma said domineeringly, and Empress Changsun also nodded.
In their Tang Dynasty, being fat is considered beautiful. There is no such thing as losing weight. People can eat whatever they want without any fear. Of course, they can't eat whatever they want, as their Tang Dynasty is still quite poor.
It would be great if the economy develops slowly and everyone in the world can have enough food to eat.
All this is thanks to the little fairy. Thanks to the appearance of the little fairy, they can produce several thousand kilograms of fairy seeds per mu, and there are many kinds of fairy seeds.
In a few years, everyone in the Tang Dynasty will have enough food to eat.
Several queens also ate elegantly while listening to the little fairy telling the story of Queen Xu.
Many people in front of the sky were swallowing their saliva. They were so greedy that they felt their stomachs were sour and they were so hungry that their stomachs were shrinking.
Those who could afford it could still have some food, but those who were poor really couldn’t afford anything to eat. They also had to work and look up at the sky from time to time, and their stomachs would already be growling.
Only the princes and nobles were better off, with food surrounding them and a large group of servants serving them, lying in rocking chairs and gazing at the sky.
"I know that the queens are all frugal people.
Let me continue talking about Empress Xu.
In the fourth year of Jianwen, the Yan army invaded Nanjing, Zhu Di ascended the throne as emperor, and later canonized Empress Xu as empress.
It is worth mentioning that when Zhu Di canonized Empress Xu as the empress, he specially upgraded the golden turtle seal for the empress as stipulated by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period to a panlong seal.
On the day of the empress's enthronement, officials from the Ministry of Rites read the imperial edict at Chengtian Gate to announce it to the world.
This set a precedent in the Ming and Qing dynasties when the empress's enthronement was announced to the world separately.
Moreover, in the edict, many good things about Empress Xu were mentioned, letting the world know how important Empress Xu was to Zhu Di and how she helped Zhu Di a lot.
He said that his ascension to the throne was inseparable from the assistance of Empress Xu, and that he would work with Empress Xu to protect the hard-won empire.
Judging from the imperial edict, Zhu Di really values you, Empress Xu.
This will make other people envious again," Li Wu couldn't help laughing and stole a glance at the sky. There were indeed many women who were extremely envious.
But he also knew that all this was worth it because of Empress Xu. Empress Xu did a lot for Zhu Di, and they were childhood sweethearts, which was incomparable to anyone else.
Empress Xu blushed again.
In front of the sky curtain, Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty was grinning with his teeth bared, which was completely different from his previous image.
The ministers and several sons said that they were used to it. Ever since their mother/empress ascended the throne, their Majesty had always been cheerful, which made them feel much better.

"Little fairy, you say that again. Look at how red Empress Xu's face is. Knowing that Empress Xu is thin-skinned, little fairy takes advantage of her to bully her," Empress Changsun said with a smile, and she was somewhat envious of the relationship between Empress Xu and Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di.
However, she and Jilang have a very good relationship, so she doesn't need to be too envious of others.
Queen Ma was happy. How could she not be happy when she saw that her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship?
"Hehe," Li Wu laughed foolishly, "I am telling the truth. Queen Xu, you have been even more worried since you became the queen.
After Zhu Di became the emperor, Mei became even busier every day. He often worked so hard that he forgot to eat.
Empress Xu, you will eat with Zhu Di every day. If Zhu Di forgets to eat, then you will starve together.
When Zhu Di was reviewing memorials, Empress Xu would often serve him quietly by his side. Sometimes it was too late and Zhu Di couldn't bear it and would let you go back and rest first.
There are countless little things like this.
This also shows that Empress Xu and Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty had a really good relationship.
Empress Xu, you are good at managing the harem. Not only that, you also have your own insights on how to govern the country.
She would also often put forward her own suggestions, and Zhu Di would sometimes adopt your suggestions, Empress Xu, and would never say anything like the harem should not interfere in politics.
They think that women interfering in government affairs would disrupt the order of the court. In ancient times, how could a little girl have such great ability?
What about Daji, Xi Shi, Yang Guifei, etc. These women who you think are bringing disaster to the country and the people, do they really have such great power to bring disaster to the entire country?
It was clearly the emperor who was incompetent, but in the end they pushed all the blame onto a little girl, saying that the girl seduced the emperor and that was why he became incompetent. "
Li Wu rolled her eyes. How could women at that time have such great abilities? It was obviously caused by various factors. The country was basically rotten. The emperor's inaction and stupidity were all blamed on the women in the end.
In front of the sky curtain, only Yang Guifei knew about it, because the sky curtain is now only open to the Warring States Period.
Yang Guifei was almost unsteady on her feet. The immortal had just said that she was a disaster to the country and the people?
She? Yang Guifei couldn't believe it. How could she become a witch who brought disaster to the country and the people?
She naturally knew that Xi Shi and Daji, especially Daji, were criticized by many people, and she actually acted with them. Yang Guifei almost cried to death.
But when I think about the Anshi Rebellion that happened later, could it be that the blame was on her?
When Yang Guifei heard someone say that the emperor wanted to see her, she followed him anyway. She was already very nervous and had all kinds of wild thoughts in her mind.
The comments were full of controversy, and many capable emperors naturally knew that what the fairy said made sense. How could a little woman make decisions for them?
It’s because those emperors were too incompetent.
However, many old-fashioned people shouted that Daji seduced Emperor Xin and eventually destroyed the Shang Dynasty.
Isn't this something everyone knows?
In short, many people are unwilling to believe that what they have learned and heard is false. Of course, they also know in their hearts that women do not have such great abilities.

"Little Immortal, you are right," Empress Ma and Empress Xu were very supportive. They also intervened in state affairs, so why did no one say that they were bringing disaster to the country and the people?
