There were soon splashes of comments in the barrage.

[Chi Yue who loves eating xiaolongbao]: Front row~front row~Are these rumors made up by male chauvinists about Emperor Wu?

[Xiao Ling who loves eating scallion rolls]: I remembered some unpleasant things again, and I really want to chop those rumor-mongering dogs to death!

[Ping Xiaoyu]: There are quite a few rumors.

"The first rumor is that Emperor Wu killed his sister and brother, and that means he killed Wu Shun, Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Yuanqing, Wu Weiliang, and Wu Huaiyun."

Li Zhao said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Wu Shun has already refuted the rumors in the previous part, so there is nothing much to say about the latter few."

"Let me tell you something new. There's a rumor that Emperor Wu killed his daughter, Princess Anding, and framed Queen Wang for the crime."

"This rumor is recorded in the Zizhi Tongjian and the New Book of Tang, but it is not found in the Old Book of Tang at all."

Qingluan put down the original text of "Zizhi Tongjian": "The original text reads, 'After she came out, Zhaoyi secretly strangled her and covered her with a blanket.'"

Qingluan complained: "It's recorded so clearly, with so much detail. Even the people of the Tang Dynasty didn't know about this, but Sima Guang, a man from the Song Dynasty, knew it so clearly?"

"What? Did he travel back in time and secretly see it from under Emperor Wu's bed?"

Everyone in the barrage was cursing.

[Green Grape Apricot]: The patriarchal dogs are so disgusted that the Empress Wu is portrayed as such a vicious woman!

[Sikong Zhu who loves potato cakes]: How was Queen Wang deposed?

Li Zhao released historical data: "The Old Book of Tang records the reason why she was deposed. The queen was worried and uneasy, so she secretly asked her mother Liu to ask a witch to ward off evil."

"When the incident happened, the emperor was furious... and he deposed the empress... In October of the sixth year of Yonghui, the deposed empress and Xiao Liangdi were both made commoners and imprisoned in a separate courtyard."

"It is clearly written above that Queen Wang was deposed because of witchcraft. She was not unlucky because Emperor Wu killed the princess and framed her for it."

[Qian Ruikang]: Witchcraft... Queen Wang's witchcraft is most likely a witchcraft to pray for a child. Cursing Emperor Wu is too easy to fail and has a low cost-effectiveness.

[History Kid]: Given Queen Wang’s situation at the time, she needed a child to consolidate her position.

Li Zhao agreed: "Yes, if it was Emperor Wu who killed the little princess and framed Queen Wang, then Li Zhi would not have to depose the queen on the pretext of witchcraft. Wouldn't it be more legitimate to depose her directly on the grounds that she killed the little princess?"

"It can be seen that Emperor Wu killed Princess Anding and put the blame on Queen Wang, which is pure rumor."

"Luo Binwang tried his best to slander Emperor Wu. He fabricated rumors in his proclamation, saying that Emperor Wu killed her sister and brother, but he did not say that she killed her daughter. Sima Guang knew that Emperor Wu killed her daughter. How bizarre!"

Qing Luan added: "There is an even more outrageous rumor, saying that Emperor Wu slept with Li Shimin and had an affair with Crown Prince Li Zhi, defiling the Eastern Palace and being unclean."

The barrage also spoke enthusiastically.

[Dan Jin]: I have heard of this. Some rumormongers even said that Emperor Wu and Li Zhi had an affair in front of Li Shimin’s sickbed!

[Frost Prisoner]: They also spread rumors that Li Shimin died of anger after discovering their affair!

[Destiny Nuwa]: I am so disgusting! Σ_(???」∠) vomit

[Dan Jin]: One black, three blacks. There is no such thing in the Old Book of Tang. Li Zhi was very filial to Li Shimin! How could he do such a thing?

Li Zhao snapped his fingers. "That's right! Let's analyze why these are all rumors."

"First of all, did Li Shimin sleep with Emperor Wu? The answer is - no!"

Li Zhao said: "Little-known fact: Princess Xincheng is the last child of Empress Zhangsun and also the last child of Li Shimin."

"That is to say, since Empress Changsun died, Li Shimin never slept with anyone in the harem again. When Emperor Wu entered the palace, Empress Changsun had already passed away. She had actually been sitting on the bench the whole time."

Emperor Wu has been sitting on the bench for more than ten years.

"If Empress Wu really slept with Li Shimin, given their physical constitutions, they would have given birth to a child long ago."

Qingluan also said: "It is true that the Emperor Wu is Li Shimin's talented woman, but a talented woman is not only a concubine, but also a female official in the harem. Her duties are to manage the banquets and the nightclubs, organize the silk and linen, and contribute to the annual achievements."

"Shangguan Wan'er was also Li Zhi's talented woman. In fact, she was a female official, not a concubine. The same was true for Emperor Wu."

Just as we were talking, the bad apple came to disturb us again.

[Green Glaze]: Humph! But the concubines who were favored by the emperors of the Tang Dynasty and had no children would enter the Ganye Temple. Wu Zetian had never slept with Li Shimin, so how could she enter the Ganye Temple?

[Yu Wei]: If you have slept with someone, you have slept with them. If it is not clean, it is not clean. Why hide it?

This kind of nonsense is so scary that it makes people feel scared!

Li Zhao sneered and retorted: "Cold knowledge, the emperor and his concubines meeting once is also called a visit."

"Emperor Yang went to Jiangdu County. It's impossible that he slept in Jiangdu!"

"Historically, Li Zhi had always been kept by Li Shimin's side. Since Empress Wu was able to flirt with Li Zhi, she must have been serving the emperor."

"It's normal for Emperor Wu to be sent to Ganye Temple!"

Li Zhao scolded the two stupid dogs: "Fuck your father's eyes! Everything you see is dirty. You are a bunch of slanderous dogs who deserve to be castrated and scolded. Get down from here!!"

"Damn rumor-mongering dogs, what else can you do besides making up rumors about outstanding women? You've eaten too much shit, so your brain has turned into a large intestine, right?"

The one-stop service was then blacklisted and deleted.

Li Zhao continued to say to the barrage: "As for how Li Zhi and Emperor Wu hooked up, it was super simple."

"Because Empress Wu was a female official who served the emperor, and Li Zhi had always been kept by Li Shimin."

Qingluan stretched and yawned, "Another little-known fact. The talented ladies and other palace ladies have an important duty, which is to accompany the princes and princesses to study."

"Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber wrote about girls from good families entering the palace to be selected as attendants to princesses and princesses, and to serve as mentors of talented people."

Li Zhao also laughed: "The concubines in the Tang Dynasty could teach the princes and princesses to read. For example, one of Li Zhi's teachers, Xue Jieyu, was a concubine of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan."

"The eighth volume of the Biography of Tripitaka Master of the Great Ci'en Temple of the Great Tang records that the great emperor studied under him when he was young. After he succeeded to the throne, he was given the title of Lady of Hedong County out of his master's kindness and was treated with great respect."

Li Zhao concluded: "Although this Concubine Xue was born in the Hedong Xue family, she was highly respected by Li Zhi and lived a good life at the beginning."

"If it weren't for his correspondence with Shangguan Yi and his pursuit of benefits for the aristocratic family, he wouldn't have been stripped of his title by Li Zhi and imprisoned in a temple."

[Chi Yue who loves eating xiaolongbao]: This concubine had a pretty good ending, but Shangguan Yi lost his life.

[Xiao Ling who loves scallion rolls]: I’ve learned something new. It’s worthy of the Tang Dynasty. It has always been so open.

Li Zhao sneered again, "Yes, even if we take a step back, what does it matter if Emperor Wu slept with Li Shimin?"

"She slept with the governor of Asia, the general of Tiance, and also took down his son and the country. Isn't that awesome?"

She snorted, "Is there anything to hide about the fact that Emperor Wu slept with him?"

"Li Shimin is not an ordinary person's inferior ex!"

There are talented people in the barrage, and everyone can relate.

[Chi Yue who loves eating xiaolongbao]: The last sentence is really disappointing, please delete it!

[Dan Jin]: That makes sense. If I had slept with Ying Zheng and Fusu, and Li Shimin and Li Zhi, father and son, I would be so awesome!

[Destiny Girl]: Ahhhhh! If it were me, I would shout it out so that all the ants in the world would know! They are my principal wife and my concubine!

Then a large wave of rewards came, and Li Zhao thanked them one by one: "Thank you all for the tips!"

Thanks to [Chi Yue who loves eating Xiaolongbao] for the inspiration capsules, Bobo Milk Tea and other rewards!

Thanks to [Xiao Ling who loves scallion rolls] for the update reminder!

Thanks to Pingxiaoyu for the flowers!

Thanks to [Frost Prisoner], [Qian Ruikang], [Green Grape Apricot], [History Kid], [Sikong Who Loves Fried Potato Pancakes], [Sheep-Eating Tree], [Ragdoll Cat], [Wen Xiuyan], [Tang Jian], and [Temple Xianyan] for their love!

Li Zhao said goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Okay, my dears, see you next time!"

Outside the palace, Ruyi walked in: "Xuan Zun, Sister Li Chao said that the banquet is ready, please come to attend."

Li Zhao smiled and said, "I understand."

She licked her lips and said, "It's time for those people to make me the Queen!"

--------

The new country’s name will be decided tomorrow, and Emperor Wu will ascend the throne on Sunday!
