Chapter 50 "Women's Empowerment"
Daming Palace, Fengtian Palace.
In front of Zhou Ming, there were a bunch of memorials like hills, which were half a person tall.
Wu Mei pointed to the pile of memorials and said to Zhou Ming with a proud face: "Zihua, these are all officials and famous scholars from all over the world. The tens of thousands of them all persuade the Ai family to ascend the throne... The people's hearts are so great that it is hard to violate them."
It has been seven years since she has been planning carefully for this moment, overcoming numerous obstacles, pulling out countless blocking stones, and finally seeing the dawn of dreams when she was 67 years old.
Along the way, she paid a lot, four of whom had 7 children, died directly or indirectly in her hands, but she did not regret it at all. In order to realize her dream and to achieve a great cause that no man could do, she was willing to pay any price.
In other words, in order to prove that women are not weaker than men, and to prove that women can also sit on the high dragon throne, she abandoned everything that can be abandoned, manipulated power all her life, and used her ambitions and tricks to see through the supreme artifact that she had been greedy for for a long time. She struck the people's hearts, leaned on the clan, and won over all the forces that could be won over... Finally, it condensed into a general trend, turning the world around and luck came.
Now, I am only left to wear a yellow robe and reach the top.
"Although there are many words of persuasion here, the invisible voices of opposition are ten times or a hundred times that of here."
Looking at Wu Mei who was full of confidence, Zhou Ming said in a deep voice, pouring a basin of cold water.
"Of course I know."
Wu Mei didn't care and turned to him and said, "So, these persuasions are missing the most important part. When you, the number one in the world, write it for me!"
The word "子" was uttered from Wu Mei's mouth, and Zhou Ming's heart was shocked, feeling endless pressure, squeezed from the air around him, making him breathing difficult, his knees became weak, and he almost knelt down.
This... Wu Mei has mastered this kind of power to such an amazing level. Although it is mysterious and fantastic, Zhou Ming, who has also had such authority, knows that once a king grasps this authority, the king's will cannot be violated. The so-called expression becomes a constitution, but one word determines life and death, and one word determines countless destinies. Others can only bow their heads and obey orders and are powerless to object.
"Empress Dowager, it's hard for me to obey my orders, so I dare not write this letter of advice!"
What surprised Wu Mei was that under the pressure of endless power, Zhou Ming not only did not kneel down, but instead directly refused her request.
"Bold! Tian Zihua, do you want to die if you dare to disobey my will?!"
Wu Mei was furious and her face turned pale. Tian Zihua has helped her do all kinds of things, big and small, and rarely goes against her will. But today, she dares to reject her directly.
It's simply seeking death!
Zhou Ming bowed and said, "Empress Dowager, if anything else is fine, Zihua can agree. But Zihua can't write it out if this persuasion is made!"
If he wrote this "Persuading for Advocation" and became Wu Mei's voice-over, the noble fame and glorious image he had worked hard to manage for many years would collapse and be destroyed once, and he would be criticized by thousands of people and cursed by thousands of people. In the circle of later literati, he would become a typical representative of losing his reputation and integrity, and would be infamous for thousands of years.
After all, the literati in the world were extremely dissatisfied with Wu Mei's use of dark means and stealing the supreme artifact. If Zhou Ming, the number one scholar in the world, wrote a letter of advice to endorse her, it would soften the position of some literati and famous scholars on the one hand, and on the other hand, it would divert firepower, causing many dissatisfaction and anger to move to Zhou Ming's head.
Therefore, Wu Mei's abacus was quite smart, and she wanted to step on the shoulders of Zhou Ming, the world's number one scholar, to ascend to the great treasure.
As for whether Zhou Ming personally agrees, whether his reputation has become better or bad, it is not considered by Wu Mei. He just needs to be her stepping stone and write a form of persuasion.
"Dare you dare to disobey me? Come on, push this thing down and beat it to death!"
Wu Mei had no reason to say, and immediately called the five martial arts masters to stop Zhou Ming, dragged him to the torture room, and asked someone to beat him with a wooden stick, wanting to make him surrender.
"ah!"
"ah!!"
The hard and thick wooden stick hit his butt heavily and repeatedly hit him hundreds of times. Zhou Ming wanted to resist, but he could not escape the joint suppression of the five martial arts masters; no matter how strong he was, he would knock the two or three hundred wooden sticks and screamed and felt that he would be stale.
But Zhou Ming still gritted his teeth and endured it with all his strength. He knew that Wu Mei would not kill him so easily. One is that he still has value in use; the other is that he is the number one scholar in the world. If he kills him like this, Wu Mei cannot have no worries...
However, women's ideas are different from those of men, and Zhou Ming cannot subjectively determine whether Wu Mei will really kill herself in anger. He dare not use his life to bet on his life. Therefore, when he felt that he could not bear it, he was ready to let go and promise to write the "Persuading Form".
When he really couldn't stand it, he was about to compromise, but the wooden stick stopped. It turned out that Lai Junchen said a few words in Wu Mei's ear: "Tian Zihua is a famous scholar in the world, and should not be killed easily. If he dies in the palace like this, it will definitely attract speculation from the world, add variables, and prevent His Majesty from becoming emperor..."
"Hmph! Then I'll put him in the heavenly prison and don't give him food. If he's hungry for three or five days, he's still not stubborn!"
...
Half a day after being sent to the prison, Zhou Ming touched his stomach that was constantly whispering and found that he felt bad when he was hungry. He asked Zhudian to bring paper and pen and write a 3,000-word article, which made people repay Wu Mei.
The informant took the article and happily reported to Wu Mei: "Empress Dowager, then Tian Zihua wrote a message of persuasion. He just hungry for half a day, so he couldn't stand it anymore. Empress Dowager, I'm here to persuade him to enter!"
"I'm writing this? I thought he would be more than a few more days..."
Humph, Tian Zihua, you are just like that!
Wu Mei took the article with joy. After expanding it, she saw the title, but her face froze. The title was three words good, but it was not a word of persuasion, but the other three words:
Female Rights Fu
Wu Mei was a little annoyed, Tian Zihua, how dare you play tricks again?
However, after reading the specific content of the article, Wu Mei's dissatisfaction slowly dissipated, and she fell into a burst of thought.
Indeed, this article is not the most wanted statement of persuasion by Wu Mei, but in some aspects, this article "Founder of Female Power" is more profound and convincing than those of the empty statement of persuasion by.
Because this article explains the development and source of feminism, saying that in the matriarchal society era, women's status was higher than men for tens of thousands of years. Because of the low productivity in that era, people ate raw meat and drank blood, fought with wild animals all year round, and the male mortality rate was extremely high. Only in the rear, female leaders who were responsible for processing and distributing food could manage a tribe well. These female leaders were also responsible for the production of tools, weaving clothes, and fertilizing offspring, so that the tribe would never stop...
For example, in legend, Nuwa, the god who created humans, is actually the great leader of a large tribe.
However, with the development of productivity and tools, food is no longer in short supply, and men's physique begins to have an absolute advantage. Women at physical disadvantage gradually become men's appendix, with lower status and increasingly miserable situations. People also forget the great female leaders of the matriarchal society era, who had made great contributions to the continuation of human civilization, but instead set up three obediences and four virtues and various rules and regulations, and persecution of women is becoming increasingly serious...
This is very cruel and immoral and should be changed.
In addition, this article also predicts that with the development of the times, the status of women will definitely be improved in the future, and women will be more patient in dealing with tedious affairs, be more careful in calculating resources, and be kind to reduce killings... Therefore, women lead subjects in a country not only symbolize the progress of a civilization, but also do not see a bad thing, but may also bring many benefits.
"Empress Dowager, although this article "Founder of Female Power" is not as straightforward as it is to persuade people to express their opinions, it is also quite reasonable... If this article is widely publicized and allowed to be read by literati and famous scholars all over the world, it will definitely have a better effect than persuade people to express their opinions... and add a few more legal basis for you to ascend to the throne."
After reading the article, his confidant Lai Junchen said to Wu Mei like this.
"What do you mean is that if you don't force Tian Zihua to write another form of persuasion?"
"It is enough to have this "Founder of Female Power"!" Lai Junchen nodded.
The man who had just come in to report asked: "In this way, Empress Dowager, should Tian Zihua be released? He just said in prison that he was hungry and asked the villain to bring him food."
"Give him food, and keep keeping him locked up! Tell him to suffer for a while!"
Wu Mei was still not satisfied and wanted to get rid of Tian Zihua again.
...
A few days later.
Through the Zihua Bookstore platform, the latest issue of "Zihua Collection of Essays" has appeared in a long time ago. Readers bought it one after another, and sales soared.
You should know that in the past ten years, Mr. Zihua has published fewer and fewer works in "Zihua Collection". On the one hand, it may be that he is old and has almost exhausted all his beauty. On the other hand, Mr. Zihua, who left tens of thousands of poems and nearly a thousand articles when he was young, wrote all the things he should write. There is no need to write about similar things.
However, even so, Mr. Zihua's reputation has not only not decreased at all, but has more readers and fans, because most of the excellent comic works in the "Comics" journal are directed by him and have a great influence.
In addition, although Mr. Zihua has produced few works in the field of poetry and articles, he is still a representative of high-quality products. As long as readers hear that Mr. Zihua's works will be released in the latest issue of "Zihua Collection". Even if it is just a five-character poem with more than 20 words, it can bring a 10% sales increase.
Not to mention, a long article with only three thousand words that can make readers feel happy.
In short, this issue of "Zihua Collection of Essays" released nationwide broke the historical high, reaching 550,000 copies.
but……
After readers read this issue of "Zihua's Collection of Essays", and after Tian Zihua wrote this article "Founder of Female Power", countless readers instantly turned from fans to black, and cursed:
"Tian Zihua, you are degenerate! You have written such a ridiculous article. You dare to speak for that powerful woman. I am so angry that I am so angry that I am so angry!"
"Is this still the free and unrestrained Tian Zihua who used to be without urging his eyebrows for the powerful? I didn't expect that he was such a flatterer and a person with all his integrity!"
"Female rights, what rights do women have? It is feminist rights to keep that woman's duty and not have delusions! Tian Zihua, if you speak for that vicious woman like this, is it that you are also a woman?"
"It's disappointing, too disappointing! Brother Zihua, from now on, I will cut off the mat with you and divide the truth, and the Tao will be divided into two sides! Don't regard me as a brother anymore, you are my enemy and enemy!" said a man who had a good relationship with Zhou Ming but his family was destroyed by Wu Meiyi and was looking forward to revenge day and night.
"Tian Zihua, we don't have you as a student, don't call us teachers!" Several teachers from Wenyuan Academy also jointly wrote a closure book for Zhou Ming.
"Tian Zihua, I will not read your comics again! I have burned all the "Zihua Collection" and comic books!"
"All gentlemen, let's stop watching the Deyun Club. This Deyun Club is also the industry of the "Tian Female Power". Don't do his business! Recently, the master's family opened a better "Tingxuan Club", which has a "Tianxian 108 combination" there, which is more beautiful than Yeyue Forty-eight, and there are more people. Everyone goes to Tingxuan Club!"
Deyun Club's business plummeted, and Zhou Ming also got the nickname of "Tian Female Quan".
"Mr. Zihua, we all support you! Mr. Zihua just said a few fair words for me and the women. Why are you men so unyielding? Mr. Zihua is right! Why can't women be emperors? Why do they have to keep that woman's morality? Why can't they be above all men? Women once dominated the matriarchal era that had been tens of thousands of years, but now in the age of patriarchal power, women who have been oppressed for thousands of years, can't they exhale their eyebrows?"
Amid the endless accusations, there were only a few women standing on Zhou Ming’s side and talking to him.
Fortunately, Zhou Ming has lived in a prison where conditions are OK these days, raising injuries on his butt. After the prison orders lifted the restrictions on visiting prison, relatives came to visit him every day. When he heard his wife Anping describes: The door of the mansion at home was thrown away by vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, he breathed a sigh of relief and did not rush to apply to Wu Mei for leaving the prison. He was preparing to stay for a few more days and go out after the limelight outside passed.
Half a month has passed, and the social turmoil brought about by "Female Power" has finally stopped a lot.
However, Zhou Ming, who had just applied to get out of prison, suddenly received a bolt from the blue: Yesterday, in the latest issue of "Zihua Collection", an author named Luo Binwang published an article "Refuting Female Power Fu", which sprinkled five thousand words, and gave Zhou Ming's "Refuting Female Power Fu" full of loopholes and felt ashamed.
Not only that, in this issue of "Zihua Collection", Luo Binwang also wrote an article "Announcement on the Defending Wu for Xu Jingye", which scolded Wu Mei's ancestors for the 18th generation, and also exposed countless black materials about her, blackened Wu Mei out of Xiang, and then announced that he would raise 100,000 troops in Yangzhou, and join the restoration General Xu Jingye to attack the demon queen Wu Mei and support the Li Zhou royal family.
Moreover, out of the cherishment of celebrities, in this "Emperor of Defending Wu", Luo Binwang also opened up his mind and made a shocking news, saying: The demon queen Wu Mei imprisoned famous scholars, tortured and tortured, forced the "Founder of Female Power" to correct his reputation, appointed literary insects to confuse people's hearts, pretended to be a ghost, and did everything...
Seeing this sentence, Zhou Ming smiled bitterly and said to the sky: "Luo Binwang, you are going to kill me!"
"The Empress Dowager has an order to kill Tian Zihua into a death row and behead him soon!"
A eunuch came to the prison where he was imprisoned, and issued an imperial decree in a cold tone.
Chapter completed!
