Chapter 462: 1 Woman and 6 Husbands (End)
Chapter 462: 1 Woman and 6 Husbands (End)
The frequent occurrence of wars resulted in a large number of men dying on the battlefield, while women gradually rose due to their physical strength and social status, eventually forming a social structure in which women were superior to men.
In such societies, women usually assume responsibility for leading and protecting the family, while men play more intra-familial and subordinate roles.
With the end of the war, women's status in society was further consolidated. They not only had dominant power in the family, but also began to occupy an important position in political, economic and military fields.
But as time went on, those once marginalized men began to awaken.
They are no longer satisfied with the secondary role in the family. They are eager to return to the stage of history and regain the lost dignity and power.
This awakening is slow but unstoppable.
The six husbands of the original owner were the pioneers of this awakening of male power.
Some of them fought bravely on the battlefield, some strategized on the political chessboard, and some sowed the seeds of masculine values in the cultural field.
They took one step at a time and eventually gathered into an unstoppable force, shaking the social foundation of female supremacy.
Nan Xi not only wants to break the shackles of the old world, but also wants to build a new world - a world where men and women are equal.
After she ascended the throne, she began drastic reforms.
She reformed education to allow boys and girls to study in the same school; she improved the law to protect everyone's rights; she adjusted the economic structure to allow everyone to compete fairly in the market.
Nanxi encourages men to actively participate in social construction, while also protecting the rights and interests of women. Only when men and women are equal can society be harmonious and prosperous.
The road to reform is never smooth. Although Nan Xi's reforms were supported by many people, they also encountered fierce opposition.
Some people cling to tradition and won't let go.
Faced with these stubborn opponents, Nan Xi showed no mercy. She used iron-fisted measures to silence those voices of opposition in the dust of history.
All Nan Xi did was to get the world back on track and let everyone breathe freely under the equal sunshine.
Only equality can make this world truly "normal".
As the reform gradually deepened, the Xia Dynasty ushered in an unprecedented period of prosperity.
This land that was once torn apart by war is now thriving under the leadership of Nan Xi.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, men and women share family responsibilities, and they respect and support each other.
In this new dynasty, people's faces were filled with happy smiles.
They are proud to live in such an equal, free and prosperous country.
The Xia Dynasty ushered in a new era. All these changes not only made the people at home proud, but also attracted the attention of neighboring countries.
Such a prosperous era made people in neighboring countries envious, and many people began to migrate to the Xia Dynasty, hoping to find a better life and development opportunities here.
The border cities of the Xia Dynasty thus became prosperous, and the fusion of various languages and customs made the culture of the Xia Dynasty more colorful.
As people's living standards improved, the Xia Dynasty's national strength became increasingly strong, and it was at the forefront of neighboring countries in both science and technology and military.
As the territory of the Xia Dynasty continued to expand, small countries around it came to rely on it, hoping to gain security and prosperity under the protection of the Xia Dynasty.
The Daxing Dynasty also sent envoys to make friendly terms.
In order to show respect and friendship to Nan Xi, the Daxing Dynasty specially sent an envoy, and brought an unexpected gift - the original owner's four former husbands.
It was hard for them to find Jin Yu, Ling Xiao, Qing Ge and Liu Yun.
These people once occupied a place in the original owner's life, but even the original owner may not have much feelings for them, let alone Nan Xi.
Nan Xi sat on the throne, looking calmly at her four former husbands. The four men had bright eyes and stared at her intently.
They couldn't imagine that the former village girl had now become an empress.
Their status also changed from husband to concubine of the empress, and maybe they could even become the empress's queen, which would be extremely rich and powerful.
Nan Xi's eyes were calm and deep. She looked at the four people carefully, her heart calm.
Jin Yu's noble temperament was gone; his clothes were ragged and his face was haggard, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot in the military camp.
Ling Xiao no longer had the demeanor of a military commander. His body was covered with scars, both old and new, and his eyes revealed a look of fatigue.
Qingge's piano skills were once his pride, but now his fingers are rough and his nails are cracked, and he is no longer the elegant musician.
Liuyun's chivalrous demeanor has been replaced by a dusty and destitute look. He is thin and has a confused look in his eyes.
Nan Xi looked at them and couldn't help feeling a little happy in her heart. This was the remaining consciousness of the original owner.
The original owner had been used and abandoned by them. In their eyes, her life was as humble as an ant.
Now, they were kneeling there, and Nan Xi's words could decide their life or death.
"Go back to where you came from. I don't need a harem."
The four of them listened to Nan Xi's words with a hint of disappointment in their eyes. Jin Yu was unwilling to accept this and he wanted to make amends.
"Nan Xi... Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the seven of us lived together in Shuanghe Village? At that time, you also said that you liked my elegance the most..."
Nan Xi raised her hand, and the Daxing envoy understood what the empress meant, and ordered people to drag Jin Yu and the other three away.
The messenger thought to himself that these four people had vowed on their way here that they held an important position in the heart of the empress, but now it seemed that there was a lot of water in their words.
The empress's rejection of them was obvious, which made the envoy feel that he might have been deceived.
The envoy decided that once he returned to the Daxing Dynasty, he would throw these four people back into the military camp.
He felt a little regretful. If he had known that these four people had no status in the empress's heart, he should not have tried to rescue them.
Without their rescue, these four people might have died quietly in some corner, and there wouldn't be the embarrassing situation today.
Nan Xi took out the jade seal and tiger talisman and asked the messenger to return them to the Empress of Daxing. These were originally things of the Daxing Dynasty and now they had been returned to their original owners.
The envoy was very happy. The Queen of the Xia Dynasty's move meant that she attached importance to peace and stability between the two countries, and also meant that his mission could be successfully completed.
If the two countries establish good relations, Daxing will no longer be troubled by war in the future, which will bring long-term peace and prosperity to the Daxing Dynasty.
...
Nan Xi has been in this world for a hundred years. Under her leadership, this world has undergone a hundred years of changes.
The concept of gender equality has gradually taken root in people's minds and has achieved initial but significant results.
During this century, Nan Xi served as an advocate for gender equality, and her policies and reforms inspired social change and promoted the progress of civilization.
Her name has become a symbol of the gender equality movement, and her wisdom and courage have inspired those who came after her to continue working for a more equal and just world.
