There are some people who are obviously mediocre but like to point fingers at history. They cannot live their own lives well, but still fantasize that if they were emperors, they would be able to achieve great achievements.

In the later years of Emperor Tiansheng, due to his physical condition, the country was almost entirely managed by the empress. The country was still so prosperous and it can be said that this great empress made a great contribution!

Back then, her husband was in poor health in the later years of his reign and was unable to govern the country personally. As a result, the burden of the entire country fell almost entirely on the shoulders of this woman who was as capable as any man.

Looking at the series of measures she implemented, it was in her hands that the imperial examination system flourished and matured. In the agricultural field, she strongly advocated encouraging farming and sericulture, and reducing taxes and levies. At the same time, she established strict assessment standards for local officials.

Because of this, during her administration, the country always maintained a strong momentum of development and continued to move towards higher heights, laying a solid foundation for future glory.

Not only that, she also successfully stabilized the border situation, defeated Tubo four times, and successfully recovered lost territory.

To be fair, after seeing many emperors, Hua Ningyao had to admit that the political achievements of this empress were truly remarkable and outstanding.

However, some people accused her of living a dissolute and licentious life, which was ridiculous! As the ruler of a country, didn't she have the right to pursue the beauty she liked?

What's more, she had never robbed people by force. Those men were willing to give themselves to her out of their desire for status, position, power and wealth.

In comparison, other emperors also had several beauties in their harems, so why didn't anyone criticize this? The empress only had a few male favorites, which was not too many!

. . . . . .

How is this different from the actions of many men in the past who flattered the emperor in order to bring honor to their families and gain power, and even offered their own daughters to the emperor!

Why did those senior officials in the court denounce it with such indignation? Was it because they were too old and weak and ugly to use such tricks to seek personal gain?

Some even go so far as to say that he killed his sons and daughters, which is simply ridiculous! Thinking back to the turbulent times, how could any emperor be able to ascend the throne legitimately?

There are many shocking words such as "kill", "collapse", "execution" and "seize" in history books. Even the most virtuous and wise monarch in the country only seized the throne by slaughtering his brothers and sisters.

How could there not be bloodshed in the struggle for power in the palace? Just because she was a woman, could she not be stained with blood? The emperor should be evaluated based on his achievements in governance. Why did she keep nagging whether others had killed their own children or were greedy for male beauty?

Why don't we see these people admonishing the male emperors: "You already have one queen, which is enough. Why do you want to have so many concubines?"

As for giving power to male favorites, he is the emperor now, so why shouldn't he give some benefits to men when he plays with them?

Whether it is a male emperor or a female monarch, who would be willing to get close to an old man if it is not for the sake of gaining some benefits? Could it be that they still like the smell of old people?

As long as what is given is not too outrageous and does not bring substantial damage to the country, there is no need to worry. Look at that group of men who are clamoring loudly. Which one of them is not eager to offer his children to the emperor in exchange for benefits?

Although her achievements could not be compared with those of Qin Shihuang, who founded the empire, nor were they as great as those of the emperor who defeated the Huns, she was even inferior to her former husband.

However, her achievements are still quite outstanding among those of many emperors.

Even though her son and daughter later rose up against her, all this happened with her tacit consent. After all, she was already old and weak, unable to continue to take care of government affairs, so she took this opportunity to voluntarily abdicate and let others take over.

After her death, she showed great wisdom and cleverly arranged to be buried together with her husband.

In this way, she could enjoy the offerings and sacrifices from future generations without having to worry about her grave being dug up by her own younger generations.

Most importantly, she returned the throne to her own bloodline descendants instead of giving it to the Wu clan. This action made her fully qualified to be the legitimate emperor of that dynasty and recognized by the descendants of the Li family.

. . . . . .

If we talk about the origin of the Han identity, perhaps it can be traced back to a great emperor, and it was this country that pushed this vast land to the top of the world.

This made it possible for Chinese people to find traces of Chinatown wherever they were. This undoubtedly became one of the two glorious periods that Chinese people are most proud of.

However, the prosperous era created by the queen has come to an end. Even though people in later generations have tried their best to recreate that glorious era, it is still difficult to achieve.

Even the empress's daughter, who once had great ambitions to ascend the throne and become emperor, ultimately failed.

"Shou Wang, I'm here!"

Hua Ningyao heard a cry and looked closely, only to see a group of people fighting and deceiving each other for power flashing by quickly like a fast-forwarded movie.

In the blink of an eye, she saw a beautiful woman jogging towards her with her skirt in her hands.

"My lady, please wait for me."

Immediately afterwards, a handsome and imposing man followed closely behind. Such a combination of a talented man and a beautiful woman was truly eye-catching and pleasing to the eye.

"Hahahaha, I finally caught you."

With a hearty laugh, the man suddenly reached out and hugged the beauty tightly in his arms.

Afterwards, the two began to play around, sometimes whispering to each other, sometimes fighting and joking, what a beautiful scene of deep affection and love.

. . . . . .

Hmm... Is this the legendary romance script? Hua Ningyao muttered to herself.

She turned her head suddenly, and her eyes were instantly attracted by several people not far away. She saw that the leader was wearing a bright yellow robe, and he seemed to be emitting a unique light in the crowd.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was staring in his direction with a rather strange look, which seemed to contain endless meaning and mystery.

All of this was so bizarre that Hua Ningyao couldn't help but feel suspicious. She subconsciously touched her chin, trying to smell a hint of gossip from this weird atmosphere.

At this moment, a noisy hawking voice came into my ears: "Sesame cakes..."

Then another voice came: "Give me a portion of water basin mutton!"
