"Hehe, young man, you're awake…"
The person who spoke was a kind old man who looked to be over fifty years old. The vicissitudes of time had left deep wrinkles on his face.
"Where am I?" Yang Dong struggled to get up, but he realized that his chest was hurting so badly that he couldn't muster any strength.
Yang Dong coughed twice.
"Young man, don't move around. Your injuries haven't healed yet!”Seeing that Yang Dong wanted to get up, the old man quickly helped him lie down.
"Where am I? Yang Dong looked at the old man in front of him. He had a head of silver-white hair, and his skin was dark and shiny. It seemed that he was often exposed to the sun. He was thin and had a hunched waist. At a glance, he was a genuine farmer uncle with his back facing the yellow soil. However, what surprised Yang Dong was that the old man's clothes were very different. In a fashionable word, it was very retro. He had long hair and was wearing a yellow robe and cloth shoes. However, Yang Dong didn't think too much about it. Perhaps this place was very poor and backward.
"Young man, you're at my house now." The old man replied with a smile. As he spoke, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Yang Dong. "Sigh, you've finally woken up after being unconscious for three days and three nights. Come, come, drink more water."
Yang Dong took the water from the old man and took a sip.""Old man, thank you for saving my life. I am from the People's Liberation Army of China. I still have a mission to complete.”
Initially, Yang Dong thought that he would definitely die, but he did not expect to be alive. Since he was not dead, he should return to the army as soon as possible to report the situation and receive punishment.
"Young man, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word? What People's Liberation Army? What army?" The old man frowned as he touched Yang Dong's forehead and muttered to himself," I don't have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?"
Yang Dong was dumbfounded. Was there such a backward and remote place? How come the People's Liberation Army of China doesn't know about this? Are they still Chinese? Could it be that this old man wasn't from China, so he didn't know about the People's Liberation Army? How could he speak Chinese fluently if he wasn't from China?
Seeing Yang Dong looking at him in a daze, the old man smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth that did not match his skin. He said,"Young man, you must be from somewhere else." Seeing that Yang Dong was silent, the old man continued," I knew it. You don't look like a person from Yuaya City at all. Sigh, why is such a good young man's hair so short? His body and skin were given to him by his parents. You can't cut it so short in the future." At this point, the old man's expression suddenly tightened." Oh no, if the authorities see this, they will definitely arrest you and bring you back. What should we do?"
The government? Crescent City? Yang Dong suddenly had a bad feeling.
Yang Dong was anxious. He couldn't care less about his manners. He quickly interrupted the old man and asked,"Old man, what dynasty is it now?"
"Hehe, young man, looks like you're seriously ill! You don't even know what dynasty it is now." The old man sighed." Three days ago, the old Empress passed away. Now, the country is divided into two dynasties. One is the Celestial Dynasty, and the other is the Sacred Dynasty."
"Empress? The Celestial Dynasty and the Sacred Dynasty?" Yang Dong was once again dumbfounded. Wasn't the only empress in history Wu Zetian? But after she died, didn't the throne pass to the Li family's descendants? Moreover, there didn't seem to be two dynasties in history. It was too strange.
However, Yang Dong was sure of one thing. He had indeed transmigrated to a magical era that was not even mentioned in history textbooks.
" Yes, the Celestial Dynasty and the Holy Dynasty." The old man ignored Yang Dong's silly expression and thought that he had a fever. "South of the Yangtze River is the Celestial Dynasty, and north of the Yangtze River is the Sacred Dynasty. Yuaya City is south of the Yangtze River, so we are in China."
No way. This era is really interesting. Why is there a dynasty across the river? But this is a little like the time when the National Government and the Chinese Party confronted each other.
In the past, the National Party also wanted to rule the Yangtze River, but it was flatly rejected by the Chinese government. Presumably, this era would not be ruled by dividing the river for long. In the world, after a long separation, it would be united, and after a long separation, it would be separated!
Of course, this was just Yang Dong's thinking based on the trend of history. After all, national affairs had nothing to do with Yang Dong.
"Old man, according to what you said, the reason why this country has two dynasties is because the Empress has two princes. In order to prevent them from scheming and killing each other, the country is divided into two. Hmm, was that old empress Wu Zetian?”
"Sigh." The old man sighed deeply and shook his head.
Initially, the old man thought that Yang Dong was just delirious from a fever. Now, it seemed that this kid wasn't having a fever. He was actually a lunatic. It was no wonder that the old man thought so. Firstly, Yang Dong's dressing was too unconventional and out of place in this era. Secondly, as a person of this era, how could he not even know the most basic national conditions?
"Young man, after talking for so long, I still don't know your name." The old man was not in a hurry to answer Yang Dong's question. Instead, he changed the topic and asked.
"Little Dong, Yi Little Dong!" For some reason, Yang Dong didn't tell the truth. Firstly, he was sensitive to his profession, and secondly, he felt that he should be reserved in an unfamiliar era. If I really want to stay here, I'll be called Yi Xiaodong from now on. It could also be considered a new beginning of life.
The old man didn't know what Yang Dong was thinking. He continued to smile and said,"" Little Dong, yes, it's quite easy to remember. My surname is Ma. Ma Niu, you can call me Uncle Ma."
What a strange name. Even so, Yi Xiaodong still called Uncle Ma kindly and asked, "By the way, Uncle Ma, you haven't told me the question I asked just now." After thinking for a while, she added,"I came from a very, very far place, so I don't know anything."
Curiosity drove Yi Xiaodong to want to find out what was going on in this era. If possible, Yi Xiaodong hoped to leave this damn place as soon as possible after figuring out the ins and outs of the matter.
It was no wonder that Yi Xiaodong had such thoughts. The ancient times were so backward. Forget about high-tech products like cell phones, computers, and digital cameras, even the design of houses was ten thousand times better than that of the ancient people. High-rise buildings, courtyard villas, not to mention living, just looking at them made people feel comfortable and comfortable. What kind of house was he living in now? It was a dilapidated thatched cottage. The floor was not made of cement tiles, but yellow mud. There were wild grasses and flowers growing in the corners of the walls. There was no decent furniture except for a bed, a table, a box, and a broken kettle that had been used for many years. Even a rag-and-bone collector would not live in such a house in the 21st century. How could Yang Dong, who lived in the 21st century, stand the backward life in ancient times?
Hearing Yi Xiaodong explain that he had come from afar, Ma Niu was relieved. He thought for a moment and said,""The old empress who passed away is not the heavens as you said. Moreover, Her Majesty did not have two princes, only two princesses..."
"In that case, the current Celestial Dynasty and the Sacred Dynasty are ruled by the two princesses?”
"Yes." Ma Niu nodded and added,""It's the two Empresses."
"Women control the government, and there are two women. Don't the ministers object?”Yi Xiaodong voiced his doubts. Unbelievable, this was simply too unbelievable. What era was this? Why were men so weak and incompetent? How could women's rights continue to be in power? It was simply against the heavens. Yi Xiaodong thought indignantly. Although the 21st century advocated equality between men and women, Yi Xiaodong was still a bit of a male chauvinist. It was impossible for him to live under the tyranny of a woman! Of course, his wife and mother were exceptions.
"Oppose? Why did he object? For thousands of years, it had always been women who controlled the government! This was what the people wanted. However, as far as I know, it's the first time in history that two Empresses are in power at the same time."
Thousands of years? No way, what era was this! Yi Xiaodong was completely stunned. F * ck, I didn't expect the men of this era to be willing to be enslaved for thousands of years. Could it be that they were still living in a matriarchal society? Yi Xiaodong was unwilling to give up and continued to ask,""For thousands of years, has there not been an emperor?”
" Well, about that, there is one, but…" Speaking of this, Ma Niu wanted to say something but stopped, as if it was difficult to say it.
" But what?" Yi Xiaodong was anxious." Uncle Ma, I beg you, tell me!"”
There was nothing he could do. Yi Xiaodong wanted to know too much now!
If he knew more, he might be able to leave this place a day earlier. This was what Yi Xiaodong wanted to do the most at the moment.
"There was an emperor in the Manchu Dynasty." Ma Niu spoke very slowly, as if he was recalling and organizing his words." Back then, the Lonely Empress only had one son. According to the rules of the court, when the prince was ten years old, he had to be demoted to a commoner and lead a life among the people. Then, he would choose a woman with royal blood in the palace to raise and inherit the orthodoxy. However, the prince was talented and intelligent since he was young. He was well-behaved and sensible, and was loved by the Lonely Empress. When the prince was ten years old, the Lonely Empress did not hesitate to kill the current prime minister to keep the prince by her side and make him the crown prince. After the Lonely Empress passed away, the Crown Prince naturally inherited the throne and became the first and only emperor in history." At this point, Maniu stood up and poured himself a glass of water. He paused for a moment before continuing slowly,"After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, for some reason, his temperament suddenly changed drastically. Not only did he mobilize millions of people to build gardens and palaces, but he also mobilized the entire country to recruit soldiers to suppress him, causing the people of the world to be in dire straits and complain everywhere. What's even more outrageous is that he's extravagant and licentious. Not only did he go on a few rounds to look for women, but he also raped the officials of the imperial court."
Raping the officials of the imperial court, damn, this emperor is really a rare breed.
Yi Xiaodong couldn't help but interrupt,""Uncle Ma, this Emperor likes men too."
"You like men? No!"
"Then why did you say that he raped a court official? Aren't all the ministers of the Imperial Court male?"
"Nonsense. How can a man be qualified to be an official in the imperial court? The officials in the imperial court are all women. It's already a blessing for a man to be a county magistrate."
" Gosh, what a valiant era." Yi Xiaodong smacked his lips. It turned out that women's rights were in power in this era. Men were just a group of people who had no status and only knew how to serve women.
Suddenly, Yi Xiaodong thought of a problem.
"Uncle Ma, can the women here have three wives and four concubines?”
"Not three wives and four concubines, but three husbands and four concubines." Ma Niu corrected.
