At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 433 Empress Lü is Humiliated

But these were not things she could choose. She was of low status and could not make the decisions on anything.

I just hope that after Heng'er is given to Empress Lu to raise, she can visit him often.

She doesn't ask for much, that's all.

Of course, no one knew about Bo Ji's thoughts, and even if they did, few would care.

"Little immortal, I want to know how the Huns humiliated me," Lu Zhi said with narrowed eyes. She would definitely not let those damn Huns go.

"Since you want to know, Empress Lu, I will tell you, alas," Li Wu sighed.

"In 192 BC, three years after Liu Bang's death, you, Empress Lü, suddenly received a letter from the Xiongnu Chanyu seeking your hand over. You were furious.

I even wanted to send troops to destroy those damn Huns!

Because before that, Liu Bang had married a daughter of his royal family to Maodun Chanyu.

According to seniority, you, Empress Lu, are Maodun's mother-in-law. But Maodun did this and wanted to marry you, Empress Lu. Isn't this an insult?

Besides, you were the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty at that time. This is not only a humiliation to you, but also an insult to the Han Dynasty."

Lü Zhi's eyes turned red with anger, and she clenched her fists tightly. "This damn Maodun dared to humiliate me like this, he is truly an uncivilized barbarian."

"Don't be angry, Empress Lu. Be careful not to get sick from being angry. Trade the gunpowder recipe with the immortal, and then you can directly destroy the Huns," said Deng Sui, holding Empress Lu's hand.

The three of them looked at Deng Sui in unison, thinking she was a ruthless person.

Bumbutai also felt that Maodun had gone too far, and could not help but look at Lu Zhi, thinking that she was flexible and able to endure the humiliation.

"You're right," Lu Zhi also patted Empress Dowager Deng's hand, her eyes full of rage.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han: “These damn Huns,” Although Liu Bang did not like Lu Zhi, she was his queen and the mother of the Han Dynasty after all. How could he not be angry when she was bullied like this?

The ministers were also extremely angry. If possible, they really wanted to annihilate these Huns in one fell swoop.

The Han people had suffered from the Xiongnu for a long time.

Once the gunpowder is produced, the Huns will be doomed.

"At that time, Empress Lü, you faced such humiliation, but you still endured it in the end.

The reason was simple. The court and the people at that time could no longer bear the turmoil. The Han Dynasty had not been established for long, and the war had just ended. The people were in mourning, and the country was weak. In this situation of great disparity in strength, the only thing they could do was to endure for a while and let the storm settle. If they took a step back, they would have a broader horizon. "

Li Wu shook his head. What else could he do? If a fight broke out, the Han might lose. He could only endure it.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly. She knew this would be the result without having to think too much.

"Afterwards, Empress Lü, you wrote back to the Xiongnu Chanyu in a humble manner.

He also personally selected a woman to pretend to be a princess, married her to Maodun as queen, and gave her a large amount of gold and silver as a dowry, implementing a policy of marriage alliance.

Thereafter, every year the Western Han Dynasty offered valuable wine, rice, food and other things in exchange for peace.

Maodun originally wanted to use this excuse to humiliate and stir up trouble so as to give himself a reason to send troops.

As a result, I didn't expect that you, Empress Lu, would endure it and get such a great benefit, so naturally you went along with it and even replied to the letter hypocritically.

I endured this until the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and only after he came to power did I vent my anger on you, Empress Lü. "There's no other way. It's not that I don't want to fight, but sometimes I have to consider too much.

When she heard about Emperor Wu of Han, Lu Zhi also learned from the barrage that Emperor Wu of Han was the grandson of Liu Heng.

If she had adopted Liu Heng earlier, would she have had the chance to meet this great-grandson?

When Emperor Wu of Han heard the little immortal mention him, he puffed out his chest with pride.

Yes, he avenged the Han!

Now that we have gunpowder, defeating the Huns will be even easier.

"This great-grandson is not bad," Lu Zhi said with a smile.

"Emperor Wu of Han is certainly good. He is an emperor as famous as Qin Shihuang," Li Wu said with a smile. In history, Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang are the three most famous emperors.

Of course, there are a lot of gossips, and countless anecdotes and unofficial histories.

"That's really good," Lu Zhi said happily, with a big smile on her face.

"Empress Lu, do you have anything else to ask?" Li Wu asked.

Lu Zhi shook her head and had no more questions to ask.

"Now I will start telling you about your deeds, Empress Dowager Deng," Li Wu looked at Empress Dowager Deng. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her clothes. They looked so dazzling.

Unlike Lu Zhi's clothes, Lu Zhi wore dark clothes. Li Wu also knew that it looked solemn, majestic and inviolable.

Although Empress Dowager Deng's dress is eye-catching, it is not undignified.

Deng Sui also looked at Li Wu and smiled. She had only been ruling the country from behind the scenes for three short years, but the little fairy said that she had been in charge of the government for 16 years. She didn't expect that she would be in power for that long.

"Speaking of Empress Dowager Deng, your abilities are unparalleled, and your deeds have been emulated by successive empress dowagers.

"When you were managing the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were constant natural disasters and man-made disasters at home, and powerful enemies invaded from outside. However, you were able to manage the empire and have an overall view of the world. So I have to admire you, you are really strong," Li Wu gave Deng Sui a thumbs up. Under such circumstances, you were able to defend the Han Dynasty, which was really amazing, much stronger than many emperors.

Deng Sui just smiled.

Lu Zhi looked at Deng Sui. She didn't expect that Empress Dowager Deng was quite extraordinary. But then again, how could she be a simple person when she could be in charge of the government for sixteen years?

Deng Sui also noticed that Lu Zhi was looking at her, so she just nodded at her, raised her wine glass, and the two drank from each other and smiled.

"Empress Dowager Deng, your name is Deng Sui, and you were born in Xinye County, Nanyang Prefecture, Eastern Han Dynasty.

The second empress of Emperor He of Han, the most wise of the six empresses of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and one of the most outstanding female politicians in history. She is praised by historians as the crown of empresses.

Empress Dowager Deng, you come from a family of generals. Your grandfather is the granddaughter of Deng Yu, Marquis Gaomi, the Yuntai tutor of Emperor Guangwu of Han and the head of the Eighteen Generals.

The daughter of Deng Xun, the commander of the Qiang Guard.

Empress Dowager Deng, you have loved reading since you were young, and people in the clan even call you a female scholar.

You are proficient in astronomy and mathematics, and you also guided Cai Lun to improve papermaking. You appointed Zhang Heng to develop the armillary sphere and seismometer, and you founded the earliest coeducational school in history to provide education for girls.

Li Wu's eyes were bright when he looked at Deng Sui.

Many people in front of the sky curtain no longer dared to underestimate the Empress Dowager Deng. They did not expect that Cai Lun and Zhang Heng both served during the period of Empress Dowager Deng. She had a good eye for employing people.

Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty: Liu Xiu looked at Deng Yu and said, "Yes, Mr. Deng, you have a good granddaughter."

Deng Yu just nodded in agreement. His granddaughter had not been born yet.

The barrage was even more focused on discussing Deng Sui, and most people were praising her. After all, whether it was Cai Lun or Zhang Heng, they both knew each other, and most importantly, they were now using these two people's things.

All the paper was used, and the seismometer that the immortal mentioned last time was also used. They had already got it from Zhang Heng.
