Chapter 32 There is Gu Zhong in the Northwest
The people of the Tang Dynasty looked at the so-called "three-inch golden lotus" in the sky in disbelief and felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Princess Taiping imagined if her feet were like this and shook her head. It was too horrible and painful.
Has the aesthetic taste of literati become so distorted?
Wu Zetian frowned. Since ancient times, men have had absolute say, and women have always had to cater to their preferences, simply because women want to marry into a good family, so women are just tools for passing on the family line!
Wu Zetian suddenly came to her senses and was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Should something be done?
Wu Zetian had a very complicated inner world. Why could she be crowned as an emperor? Because she was the wife of Li Zhi, who gave her political capital. Her nearly 40 years in power also allowed court officials to recognize her ability.
Originally, she had thought that her surname was Wu, and she had thought of a Wu family as her next successor, but Di Renjie said that no nephew in history would worship his aunt in the ancestral temple, which made Wu Zetian give up her idea. However, Tianmu's words made Wu Zetian fall into deep thought. I have become the emperor, so what if the next successor is a woman? Wu family, Li family...male and female...
There would be a lot of resistance for a woman to become an emperor. Even if a woman cannot become an emperor, we should allow women to enter the court openly and change the social atmosphere. This should not only change the nobles, but also the common people.
Who will sit in my position? Let them fight for it. What Wu Zetian wants to do most now is to change from herself. Didn't Tianmu say last time that women can hold up half the sky? I think with Tianmu there, there will be less resistance, and more women's ideas will change.
Princess Taiping was exposed to such straightforward words for the first time, which pointed out the status of women and had a huge impact on her mind. No, women cannot become tools like those dynasties that came after them! And they have to be treated in such a cruel way!
Princess Anle: If the Empress Dowager can be the emperor, why can’t other women?

Song Dynasty, Qiande Year 5
boom!
Zhao Kuangyin smashed the table, but Zhao Guangyi and others stood aside as if it was normal and were not affected.
"Are the scholars of the Song Dynasty so boring? Why do they care about women's feet?"
Zhao Kuangyin knew that every time he talked about Song, he would say nothing good! It's like this again. What a bad precedent our Song Dynasty has set!
"No one is good among literati!"
This frightened the surrounding civil officials. How could we not be something? We didn’t write anything to praise…
Zhao Kuangyin also ordered that there should no longer be excessive demands for bound feet, and that they should grow naturally without interference. If anyone was caught, they would be executed immediately!
Southern Tang Jinling
Although Li Yu knew that the Song Dynasty would rule the world in the future, he was still unwilling to hand over his ancestors' foundation to others. He worked diligently every day and often summoned ministers to consult on state affairs, and the conversations would last until late at night.
Seeing Tianmu say that he was the one who started this bad habit, Li Yu felt extremely remorseful and guilty, regardless of whether it was true or not.
Write a poem immediately, reflect on yourself, and write in the poem that a woman's natural feet are also beautiful, and don't interfere too much for the sake of beauty.
"Alas, I hope that what I have done can make up for the mistakes of future generations."

Ming Dynasty Hongwu 26th year
Zhu Yuanzhang now understood everything, why he said he was a sinner...
Zhu Di looked at the deformed feet in the sky and didn't understand where the beauty could be seen. The future was really too strange.
Princes like Jin Zhu Chong and Qi Zhu Bo were a little embarrassed. What should they do? In fact, bound feet are pretty, slender and beautiful, far from being deformed...
When ordinary people saw these pictures, they were so shocked that they dared not bind their feet anymore.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately issued an order: "If anyone dares to mention foot binding again, I will make him bind his feet!" Thinking of the Qing Dynasty's previous order to ban it, but it failed, he added: "Send the Jinyiwei to supervise these things for us at all times. I want to ensure that this tragedy will not happen again among the ministers and the people."
At this time, the trend has not yet become popular on a large scale, and it can be changed if we are determined to ban it.

The 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty
"Hmph, I've issued bans several times, but who listened?" Kangxi sighed. Foot binding was not a custom among the Manchus, and thinking that they would be assimilated in the future, he thought further and felt a chill on his back.
The people should do whatever Tianmu said and follow the public opinion, so he once again issued an order to ban foot binding.
Because of Tianmu's denial of foot binding and Tianmu's satire on men, many scholars and officials were upset! Women should "stay at home and not step out of the second door"!
Some women in the family began to dare to resist. In a wealthy family, a young lady said, "Mother! Tianmu has said that foot binding is wrong. Why should we do something that goes against the will of heaven?"
“……” The mother didn’t know how to answer and turned her gaze to the head of the family.
When the family member came out, he said, "I won't bother you anymore." As he left, he added, "I won't bother you anymore in the future."
If you change a little bit each time, you will have a big renovation over time.

My God, foot binding looks so painful. I won’t comment on the fact that some women want to bind their feet now. We are becoming more and more feudal.
Li Ranran didn't dare to watch any further. She glanced at the comment section casually and turned to the next video.
【The Last Glory of the Late Tang Dynasty】
(Accompanied by background music, rows of cavalrymen are fighting on the battlefield, and text appears on the sky.)
[In 781 AD, the second year of Jianzhong in the Tang Dynasty, Tubo conquered Shazhou and all the Tang Dynasty defenders died for their country.
In 842 AD, the second year of the Dazhong reign of the Tang Dynasty, the Tibetan king was assassinated and had no children. The prime minister Shang Kongre and the Shanzhou governor Shang Bibi each supported a king, which led to the internal strife in Tibet. The two fought fiercely, and the people suffered.
The He and Long areas had been occupied by Tubo for nearly a hundred years. The people were filled with resentment and were thinking of the Tang Dynasty. They remained in their proper attire and waited for their chance.
Zhang Yichao, a native of Shazhou, led the people in an uprising. When the Han people saw this, they all responded to it, and the momentum was greatly boosted! The Tibetan defenders saw this and did not dare to stop them, and fled immediately.
"We are starting an uprising today. We are Tang people. We are standing on Tang soil. We swear to charge out of the city, to defend the city to the last man, to protect the people of Shazhou to the last man, and to bring Shazhou back to Tang soil. The Tang flag will definitely be raised on the soil of Shazhou."
After Zhang Yichao recovered Shazhou, he took charge of the state affairs. At the same time, he led the army to recover ten states including Guazhou and Xizhou.
In 851 AD, the fifth year of the Dazhong period, Zhang Yichao sent an envoy to the court and presented maps and books of eleven states. He was appointed as the Jiedushi of Guiyi Army by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Chen.
In 861 AD, Hehuang was completely recovered and connected to the Tang Dynasty in the east.
In 867 AD, the eighth year of Xiantong, Zhang Yichao entered the court and was appointed as the Right Commander of the Divine Army and was promoted to Minister of Works. From then on, he stayed in Chang'an, and his brother's son Zhang Huaishen took over the Guiyi Army. He was successively granted the title of the founding duke of Nanyang County.
＜Alas, Zhang Yichao wanted to return to the Tang Dynasty so much, but he was suspected and depressed to death in Chang'an. The Tang Dynasty could not hold on to the eleven states, and the political corruption in the late Tang Dynasty was beyond control. Zhang Yichao, the Tang Dynasty at this time is no longer the Tang Dynasty before the An-Shi Rebellion [crying]……＞
＜The Guiyi Army included not only Han people, but also ethnic minorities, Tibetans, etc. The Tang Dynasty was truly the most open and tolerant dynasty＞
＜Then the Dangxiang rose in the northwest＞
＜ Woohoo, we can never go back to that prosperous Tang Dynasty and the city of Chang'an that never sleeps＞
＜35 years after Zhang Yichao's death, the Tang Dynasty also fell.＞
＜Not only the Guiyi Army, but also the Anxi White-haired Army, the Tang Dynasty really gave many people reverie... Forget it, let's just curse Li Longji＞
＜Tibet and Tang were really enemies. 65 years after the fall of Tibet, Tang also fell…＞
＜In the late Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong and Emperor Xuanzong were the better ones.＞
＜What did Xuanzong have? He just relied on the legacy left by Wuzong and the Guiyi Army to gain the title of the leader of the restoration. How dare he call himself Little Taizong＞
＜Xuanzong was the last normal emperor. Why did Wuzong become so depressed that he took drugs and killed himself? Look at the emperors who came after him, emm ＞
＜This editing is pretty good. If you want to know more, you can read the post next to me about Zhang Yichao's Return of the Yi Army.＞
＜The name of Guiyi Army is so ironic. Li Chen only learned the form of Taizong but not the essence. He was extremely suspicious of Zhang Yichao and was unwilling to give him the title of Jiedushi of Hexi. He only gave him the title of Jiedushi of Guiyi Army＞
