Pei Xuan said to her father: "Father, there is another reason why I don't want to be the Crown Princess."

Pei Judao sat on the bed: "What's the reason?"

Pei Xuan started talking nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth: "The prince is weak and I am afraid he won't live to see the day he ascends the throne. If I were to become the crown princess, I would probably be another Empress Shangguan and my father would be Huo Guang."

The prince is weak and will not live long enough to ascend the throne, Pei Xuan has confirmed it.

Pei Judao was shocked: "This...! How did you know this? Could it be Xuan..."

Pei Xuan whispered, "I learned this news from Li Chao Xingjun."

Pei Judao's eyes wavered. The prince was indeed weak. If anything happened to him, then...

But he also suspected that his daughter had deliberately made up the lie in order to avoid marrying the prince.

Pei Xuan also knew that her father would not easily believe her, so she sighed: "Father, think about it, I like the prince, why did I refuse the marriage? The reason is here."

"If I become the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince dies young, I give birth to a grandson, and Aye commands a large army, will Your Majesty suspect that Aye wants to be Huo Guang?"

"If I don't give birth to a royal grandson and the prince dies, then what's the point of our marriage to the royal family?"

Pei Judao hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty will not think that I am Huo Guang."

Pei Xuan dropped a bomb lightly: "Queen of Heaven."

Pei Judao's eyes became sharp, and Pei Xuan said, "Even if His Majesty does not doubt Aye, does the Queen Mother trust Aye?"

Pei Xuan continued: "Now that the Second Saint is in power, the Queen Mother holds great power, and the conflict with the Eastern Palace is becoming increasingly acute."

"If the crown prince dies and I give birth to a royal grandson, the first person the empress will deal with will be the in-laws like us."

Pei Judao clenched the quilt in his hands and frowned. This was not impossible.

Pei Xuan said again: "Father, the grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations. Our Pei family is already rich enough, there is no need to get involved in the affairs of the royal family."

"Beside Xuanzun is an excellent place to go."

Pei Judao was silent for a long time, and Pei Xuan's heart suddenly became nervous.

After a long time, Pei Judao sighed: "My son, you have grown up."

"Go back. I will go and mediate with His Majesty. As for Xuanzun, you should pay more attention to him. You did a great job with the orphanage."

The next day, Pei Judao got up and cried in front of Li Zhi, saying that his daughter was talentless, had a bad fate, and would bring misfortune to her husband. She was willing to become a nun and pray for the country, and so on.

Li Zhi had no choice but to order Pei Xuan to become a monk, granting him the Taoist name Xuande, while keeping his rank unchanged. He was ordered to go to the south to take charge of the affairs of the orphanage.

On the day Pei Xuan was leaving, Madam Li, Pei Judao and others bid her farewell with tears in their eyes.

Mrs. Li wiped her tears with her handkerchief and said, "Now that you are going to the south, I don't know when I will see you again."

Pei Xuan smiled and comforted his mother: "Mother, it's okay, I will be back sooner or later."

The Emperor hated her and exiled her in disguise, but the Empress and Yudou Xuanzun did not hate her.

Pei Xuan's eyes were filled with burning ambition: If the Emperor refused to use her, then... what about the Queen?

After the Emperor is gone, the Tang Dynasty will ultimately belong to the Queen Mother and His Majesty Xuanzun!

After the disaster relief, Li Zhao led his men and teleported back to Lingnan, then set out from Guangzhou and took a boat to Lelang Governor's Mansion, which was the former location of the Korean Kingdom.

Today's Lelang Governor's Mansion has changed its appearance.

There are many things that are inconvenient for Li Zhao to do in China, but abroad...hehehehehehe!

After crossing the sea by boat and getting ashore, Li Zhao specially opened the live broadcast room and took his officials and students for a walk in a small village in Lelang Governor's Mansion.

A family in the village was decorating their house with lanterns and colors, and under the witness of the head of the village, they were checking the maternal genealogy and holding a walking marriage.

Li Zhao told the audience in the live broadcast room: "Lelang Dudufu is the former Silla, the modern Korean country, which is undergoing a transformation from a matriarchal society to a patriarchal society."

"In the last war, I killed many people and the Silla men suffered heavy losses."

"After the Happy Face Puppet pretended to be Queen Jin Jinde and took the throne, she vigorously promoted the system of walking marriage, selected female officials, promoted small plows and harvesters, new farming methods, and revived the matriarchal system."

Qingluan specifically talked about the characteristics of the matriarchal society that has been revived here: "Like Zhuangzi in the Tang Dynasty, the matriarchal marriage system in Silla imitates the Mosuo matriarchal system. They know their father but are not close to him."

"They will officially build a matrilineal genealogy based on the village, and close relatives within three generations are not allowed to marry each other to prevent diseases."

It is not easy to create a family tree. After all, few people at the bottom of society can read, so the government has to intervene and fabricate the family tree.

The audience in the live broadcast room were all sighing.

[Qian Ruikang]: In Silla, it is very easy to restore the matriarchal society here.

[Frost Prisoner]: What about the training of female officials? The matriarchal society fell into such a miserable state because men were in power.

Li Zhao snorted, "Don't worry, everyone. How can we let a man take power? Anyone who dares to oppose Queen Zhende would have been killed in secret long ago."

[Happy Face Puppet] is used to assassinate people, and its assassination skills are excellent.

Everything Queen Zhende did was to weaken the men. How could they not resist? Li Zhao didn't have the time to educate these men.

At night, she manipulated the [Happy Face Puppet] to change her clothes and killed all the men who dared to oppose her and had rebellious intentions!

When all the men died out, Queen Zhende vigorously promoted the bone inheritance system, giving all the wealth and status that the men had snatched to the women.

But Queen Zhende mostly gave the deceased's belongings to his collateral relatives or to women who surrendered to the queen.

The next step was to overhaul the inheritance laws, using the excuse that upper-class men were against the queen's rule to enact laws prohibiting upper-class men from studying.

Then select some outstanding men from the lower classes to serve as officials. Of course, more female officials are selected.

Queen Zhende held both the gun and the purse in her hands, so those men could not make any waves and could only kneel down.

Qingluan: "All the upper-class men here have died or been injured, and they can no longer receive education. Even the family property and surname can only be passed on to my daughter."

"In order to quickly train female officials, Silla and Japan have already used dictionaries and pinyin."

Li Zhao: "The domestic dictionary and pinyin are still being developed, and the printing and papermaking technologies are also developing. I have a village in Yiyang, Datang, which is now the Wucheng area of ​​Tongbai County, Henan Province, and I specialize in digging natural alkali."

Li Zhao: "Then the alkali was transported to Wuxing County in the Tang Dynasty, which is today's Baiyangdian in Hebei Province, to make reed paper, which was used as the raw material for newspapers."

Qingluan: "As for the high-quality paper used for making books, it is made from bamboo in the south and the bark of the mulberry tree in the north. The making method of the best bamboo paper is recorded in The Exploitation of the Works of Nature. The paper production areas are concentrated in today's Fuyang, Zhejiang and Jiajiang, Sichuan."

[History Kids]: Why not somewhere else? Are these two places the only places in the South that produce paper?

Li Zhao smiled and said, "Because literature is not well developed in other parts of the south, even people in most parts of the south are still struggling to have enough food to eat."

Someone was nodding in the barrage.

[Destiny Nuwa]: Yes, now the economic center of the Tang Dynasty is still in the north. The south became the economic center in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

[Dan Jin]: It was not until the Song Dynasty that the economic center of gravity was successfully shifted southward.

The next place we are going to is the former royal city of Silla.

When Li Zhao arrived at the palace, he found that it was even more lively there. It turned out that a beauty pageant was being held there.

The key point is that all the contestants are men.
