At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 944: It's not because of status that we are friends

"So Emperor He of Han summoned you, Senior Ban Zhao, to the capital and ordered you to go to the Dongguan Library to complete the unfinished work of Ban Gu, that is, to continue writing the Book of Han.

Senior Ban Zhao, you organized and compiled the information accumulated by your father and brother and completed the "Eight Tables".

With the assistance of Ma Xu and others, he completed the "Astronomical Records".

The first chronicle in Chinese history has been completed!

When the "Book of Han" was first published, it was not easy for ordinary people to understand it, so Emperor He of Han sent ten great Confucian scholars including Ma Rong to the Dongguang Pavilion to listen to your lectures, Ban Zhao.

Senior Ban Zhao, you like to read history books and are very clear about the rise and fall, success and failure, and gains and losses of politics in past dynasties.

This made Emperor He of Han very happy, so he ordered the empress and the concubines in the harem to worship you, Senior Ban Zhao, as their teacher, and respectfully called you "Da Jia (gu first tone)".

Whenever precious and rare items were contributed from various places, Emperor He of Han would ask you, Ban Zhao, to compose poems to express your appreciation.

At that time, Senior Ban Zhao could be said to be extremely popular. You were not treated differently just because you were a woman. You were respected by many people.

Not bad, not bad," Li Wu nodded with satisfaction. This was also because Ban Zhao was capable. If someone without the ability replaced her, it would not work.

Ban Zhao recalled the past and just smiled and nodded, "That's true."

She was respected then, and she is still respected now, but in the blink of an eye, she is already half buried in the ground and has grown old.

Time passes by so, so fast.

In front of the sky curtain, Ban Zhao's father and brothers looked at their daughter/sister and couldn't help but tear up.

They are not from the same dimension. The sister on the sky curtain looks very old, even older than her father.

When she was young, Ban Zhao looked at her old self on the sky and blinked. She never expected that she would follow the same path as her father and brothers.

This was something she had never thought of, even though she loved history and knew a lot about it, but because of her identity as a woman.

The first female historian, she liked the title.

Lady Xian patted Ban Zhao's hand. She could guess from Ban Zhao's eyes that time had passed too quickly, because she felt the same way.

I used to feel that time passed too slowly, but now, in just the blink of an eye, they have grown old.

Feng Ling also silently comforted Ban Zhao by picking up food for her.

Li Wu couldn't bear to watch it. The three seniors must have become addicted to pinching. She didn't dare to think that they might all die of stuffing soon.

Of course, Li Wu was the only one who paid attention to picking up the food; Feng Ling and the other two did not pay any attention.

Ban Zhao looked at Li Wu and motioned for Li Wu to continue.

"In 95 AD, Deng Sui, also known as Empress Dowager Deng who came here before, entered the palace and sought to learn from you, Senior Ban Zhao.

You two hit it off right away, and you were both teachers and friends. It can be said that you met too late.

Senior Ban Zhao, you may not have expected that Empress Dowager Deng will be your lifelong benefactor," Li Wu looked at Ban Zhao. In fact, when she talked about Empress Dowager Deng's deeds before, she also mentioned Ban Zhao.

The two had a very good relationship, and Ban Zhao helped Empress Dowager Deng a lot, so it was actually normal for Empress Dowager Deng to use Ban Zhao later on.

Ban Zhao is a person with real talent and knowledge, not just a useless person.

It can be said that Ban Zhao also taught Empress Dowager Deng a lot, and the two should have learned from each other and made progress together.

Ban Zhao nodded and said, "How could I have thought of that at that time?" Ban Zhao smiled.

Recalling the first time I met Deng Sui, she was just under 20 years old and a newcomer who had just entered the palace.

He dresses simply, strictly and properly. He looks honest and does not fight or compete with others.

Who could later sit on the throne of queen, or even queen mother, and finally be in charge of the affairs of the court.

In front of the sky curtain, Empress Dowager Deng Sui also recalled the past. So many years had passed without her realizing it.

When they first met that year, they hit it off and often discussed things together. To Deng Sui, Ban Zhao was her good friend, and there were no good friends to speak of in the harem.

The two of them have no conflict of interest and share many interests and hobbies, so it is normal for them to become good friends.

Ban Zhao and Deng Sui in front of the sky curtain seemed to be looking at each other across the sky curtain.

"Indeed, no one is a prophet. Even if we knew it earlier, so what? You and Queen Mother Deng are not friends because of your status," Li Wu said. Because they have a common topic, not because of the issue of status, so what is the difference between knowing it earlier and knowing it later?

"Then I will continue to talk about your deeds, Senior Ban Zhao. Ahem, um, three seniors, please eat, eat," Li Wu looked at Feng Ling's bowl and Ban Zhao's bowl, they were full, she almost laughed out loud, this, that, it's good to eat more, really, she will take care of it, you can eat as much as you want.

She could guess that when they talked about Lady Xian's deeds, Lady Xian's bowl would be full as well.

"Go on, little fairy."

"In 102 AD, Empress Yin was deposed for engaging in witchcraft activities, and Deng Sui became the empress.

A few years later, Emperor He of Han also passed away, and Deng Sui became the empress dowager who ruled the country.

Empress Dowager Deng trusted you very much, Ban Zhao. After she came to power, she appointed you as her adviser and let you participate in state affairs.

You assisted Empress Dowager Deng in governing the country.

With the help of you, Senior Ban Zhao, the young Empress Dowager Deng was even more powerful and managed the country in an orderly manner.

I won't say much about this. When I talked about Empress Dowager Deng's deeds before, I also mentioned what the Eastern Han Dynasty was like when she was managing it. There were constant natural disasters.

So it can be seen how powerful you, Senior Ban Zhao, and Empress Dowager Deng are. "In ancient times, natural disasters were really terrible. Even now, they are still terrible.

Especially since Li Wu had just experienced a flood, natural disasters are cruel.

Therefore, being able to govern a country like that is already very impressive.

The ancestors in front of the sky curtain also thought of the Eastern Han Dynasty taken over by Empress Dowager Deng. To be honest, it was really too difficult. It was already very good that two women could govern the Eastern Han Dynasty in an orderly manner.

Most men can't compare to that.

So there are still a lot of capable people.

What a pity, why are there such talents not in their dynasty? If they were in their dynasty, they would definitely be valued.

It's another day of envying other dynasties, although their own dynasty is not bad either, it's great, and they hope there will be more and more talented people.

"Senior Ban Zhao and Empress Dowager Deng are truly remarkable, and are role models for women," Lady Xian praised. Governing a country is not such a simple matter, as it concerns the entire nation and the survival of a country.
