Chapter 247 Empress Zetian and this World
In order to investigate the iron laws of marriage, Zhou Chengxi personally consulted many historical books of the Feng Dynasty.
She also took advantage of her status as a princess to have access to some confidential files in the palace.
Then I discovered a shocking secret -
“The first empress of the Feng Dynasty, Empress Zetian, was a time traveler.
And it also comes from our world." Zhou Chengxi said affirmatively.
Lu Yao and Jiang Yulang couldn't help but widen their eyes at the same time.
"what?!"
Another fellow villager?
The world is about to be pierced into a sieve!
"How did you find out? How was she recorded in the palace archives? Did she like to write a diary?" Lu Yao asked curiously.
Zhou Chengxi shook his head: "The biggest evidence is the font. Didn't you notice that this world uses our simplified Chinese characters?"
Before Empress Wu Zetian, the world used a unique and complex font.
That's so difficult to read and write!
The characters were too complicated, which was not conducive to dissemination and learning. So when Empress Wu Zetian was still a noble lady, she used the simplified Chinese characters and made a great astonishment in the world.
"We were able to read and write as soon as we arrived, all thanks to that senior fellow villager."
On this point, the three agreed.
In fact, based on this point alone, Zhou Chengxi could conclude that Empress Wu Zetian was a fellow villager.
But she was cautious and still read the personal biography of Empress Wu Zetian in search of more details and evidence.
It really does.
As the founding empress, Empress Wu Zetian certainly has her own biography.
Her experience is a typical life of a time traveler.
At the beginning, she traveled through time and space and became the princess of a fallen country (at that time the former dynasty was divided into many small countries, which had been fighting each other for many years), and woke up quietly on the way to escape.
From then on, relying on the wisdom of a time traveler from two lives, he fought back, sang all the way, conquered cities and territories, and finally ascended the throne and founded a new dynasty.
What a familiar routine!
The whole process seemed to be assisted by God, so Zhou Chengxi believed that Empress Wu Zetian must have also had a golden finger.
As to what it is, no one knows.
Zhou Chengxi is still constantly looking for various unofficial histories or folk legends, hoping to infer the other party's golden finger type from some unofficial records.
"If two points can determine a straight line, then simplified Chinese characters + routine life are enough to confirm that Empress Wu Zetian is a senior." Lu Yao murmured.
"But there are more than just these two pieces of evidence!" Zhou Chengxi revealed again.
"Huh? There's more!"
Lu Yao and Jiang Yulang shouted in their hearts: How many more surprises do our seniors have that we don’t know about!
Zhou Chengxi leaned forward and said excitedly in a low voice: "Do you know much about the story of Empress Wu Zetian? Do you know her greatest qualities?"
Lu Yao and Jiang Yulang shook their heads.
The characters they have traveled through time and space into have little opportunity to read and study. The environment they are in does not provide an atmosphere for studying history or exploring the world.
If Zhou Chengxi hadn't said it today, the two of them wouldn't even know that the founding empress of the Feng Dynasty was Empress Wu Zetian.
There is a huge difference between life with reading and life without reading.
Zhou Chengxi said excitedly: "The greatest thing about Empress Wu Zetian is not that she founded the new Feng Dynasty.
Instead, when she was sixty years old, she took the initiative to pass the throne to the princess, then packed her bags and traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Dafeng, investigating the customs and practices of each place.
He even went deep into various places that no one had ever been to and drew valuable maps. "
Lu Yao's head buzzed!
"She went to many places? And even drew maps?" Lu Yao was also excited.
"Yeah! That's why I admire her very much!" Zhou Chengxi seemed to have tears in his eyes, he was so excited.
A time traveler, after using his wisdom and strength to create a peaceful area, was not bound by power and wealth, but chose to follow his own heart, gave up those things, and explored the world in the last period of his life!
What determination and courage this is!
She went to many places, not only exploring Dafeng's territory, but also going to places beyond Dafeng.
“I have seen her hand-drawn maps and several books she wrote in the palace documents.
It was discovered that she was very good at drawing maps and was proficient in geological exploration.
Several famous mines in Dafeng were discovered by Empress Wu Zetian when she traveled around the world.
So I guess that senior may have studied geological engineering, exploration technology and engineering, resource exploration engineering, etc. in his previous life. "
No matter what it was, Lu Yao and Jiang Yulang were fascinated by it, and their two beautiful big eyes were shining at Zhou Chengxi.
Zhou Chengxi continued:
"Speaking of this, I have to say something very strange about this world."
Lu Yao and Jiang Yulang seemed to be the most attentive students in the class. They nodded and waited intently for Zhou Chengxi to continue.
"This world is very big, and the shape and area of the land are different from our previous life.
Dafeng seems to be at the easternmost part of this land, and further east is the vast ocean.
But to the west, there is a vast expanse of land.”
Grasslands, swamps, forests, mountains, everything is available.
"And the most peculiar thing is that, so far, no other country or race has been found except Dafeng.
Those vast lands were silent except for plants and animals, and there were no indigenous people or tribes.
It seems that Feng Chao is the only family in this world.
It seems that there is only one ethnic group in the world, the Fengchao people."
Lu Yao and Jiang Yulang were stunned.
No foreigners?
There is only the Dafeng nation in the whole world?
"Anyway, we haven't found any other country or tribe so far.
Could it be that the seniors didn’t go far enough? You have to know that this world is really big!" Zhou Chengxi scratched his hair excitedly.
According to the distance shown on the map, Empress Wu Zetian drove almost all the way from China to Turkey, but didn't meet a single person. However, she did meet quite a few monkeys.
"In fact, why didn't the successive empresses change the iron law of marriage?
Why do we continue to reproduce now that there are so many people?
Probably, I guess, everyone in the court, from the empress to the most important ministers, all tacitly wanted to increase the population as much as possible, and then head westward to occupy more territory!
You know, those women who were exiled because they couldn’t find husbands were actually taken to the west to open up land!”
The room suddenly became quiet.
Lu Yao and Jiang Yulang seemed to be dumbfounded, their mouths slightly open, staring blankly at Zhou Chengxi with unfocused eyes.
The news Zhou Chengxi brought today is more explosive than the last, ranging from grenades to missiles and atomic bombs.
What kind of world is this!
In such a world, how should people live their lives?
Not only Lu Yao and Jiang Yulang, but even Zhou Chengxi fell into deep thought after telling these secrets.
After an accidental death, you can still travel to another world and live a new life. This is a gift from God.
Faced with such a precious opportunity, how should I live my new life after being reborn?
Jiang Yulang: I originally just wanted to escape from Baihua Tower, and preferably find someone to marry, and live out my life in peace.
But why, after learning about the story of Empress Wu Zetian and this world, something else ignited in my heart?
Lu Yao: Originally I just wanted to find a husband, end my fate as a single dog for two lifetimes, not be exiled, and become rich and live a good life.
But why, after learning about Empress Wu Zetian and the stories of this world, I suddenly feel that life should have higher pursuits?
It seems like a waste if we don't make good use of the life we have finally obtained and just go through the ordinary days of birth, aging, sickness and death.
Zhou Chengxi: I originally just wanted to become the next empress, no longer be murdered by those princesses with ulterior motives, and live a happy life with my dozen true loves.
But why, after learning about Empress Wu Zetian and the stories of this world, I suddenly feel that the height of my life should not stop here?
"You two, I have a small suggestion, but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Zhou Chengxi said after thinking for a while.
