The Bible, Genesis, says, "God made a woman out of a rib taken from a man and led her to a man." Adam said, "This is my bone within the bone, the flesh of the flesh; to call her a woman, for she is taken from a man." In the history of the world, the supremacy of male power is an eternal and unchangeable "rule", whether in the social field or the field of life, women have no right to speak, especially in ancient times, the rulers of successive dynasties were almost all men.
However, experts have found a strange phenomenon, around the 7th century AD, East Asia was firmly controlled by three strong women, and male power was once suppressed.
The first, Emperor Tuiko, whose real name was Edabe, was the 33rd emperor of Japan and the first female emperor in Japanese history. Since her father was the 29th Emperor Chinmei, in 576 AD she was crowned empress of Emperor Minda. Unfortunately, at the age of 35, Emperor Minda died suddenly, and in order to seize the throne, Crown Prince Hyohobe decisively invaded Emperor Minda's funeral palace and prepared to get rid of Edabe and others.
Fortunately, Eda was saved by the three-wheeled monarch, and after the emperor ascended the throne tomorrow, the palace returned to a brief period of tranquility. Two years later, Emperor Tomorrow died of illness, and in order to compete for the throne of the next emperor, the two major families of Japan, the Su I clan and the Monobe clan, were once again in the same boat. Unexpectedly, Edabe was supported by Su I Mazi as a new generation of emperors under the wrong yin and yang. However, at the age of 38, Edabe was only a "transitional" emperor, and only then could the civil unrest be quelled.
After Edabe took the throne, he promulgated a series of reform measures, which not only strengthened the centralization of power, but also secretly weakened the power of the nobility, greatly reducing their chances of rebellion. In 607, Emperor Tuigu sent Ono Meizi as an envoy to sui, causing her to once again emphasize to the Sui Emperor that Japan had become an independent country and was no longer a vassal. The following year, Emperor Tuigu sent many international students to China to learn advanced cultural techniques, and she created japan's Asuka era.
The second, the Queen of Virtue. Queen Seondeok, named Kinderman, was the 27th monarch of Silla and the first female monarch in Silla history. In 632, her father King Zhenping died, and since King Zhenping was childless, Kindman, as the only legitimate heir, inherited the throne with the support of the people.
Queen Zende was a generous and benevolent person, and she not only often comforted the "widows and widows" in the country, but also provided them with relief money and food. In addition, she did not forget to send emissaries to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute and gain the protection of China. In 643, Silla was attacked by Goguryeo and Baekje, and Li Shimin actively responded to the call of Queen Seondeok for help, directly leading an army to conquer the city of Shuikou in Goguryeo and solving the crisis of Silla.
The third is Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian was the only orthodox female emperor in Chinese history, and at the age of 14, she was summoned to the imperial palace by Li Shimin for "Rong Zhimei" and became a Wupincai. However, she has been a talented person in the palace for 12 years, and her status has never improved, perhaps Li Shimin has already seen that she is an ambitious woman.
However, Li Zhi was far worse than Li Shimin, and because of his favor, Wu Zetian's status skyrocketed. After Li Zhi's death, Wu Zetian "deposed Wang Liwu" and established himself as emperor, stealing the Li dynasty. Later, although Wu Zetian wantonly slaughtered the Tang Dynasty clan, she also reformed the official rule and selected a number of outstanding talents, which was also considered to be offset by merit.
In the 7th century AD, the power of East Asia completely fell into the hands of these three empresses, who turned over a big "wave" on the long river of world history.
