I opened the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 211: Mizukage Picks a Good Man

Emperor Zhenwu: "My son, look at Qin Shi Huang. He unified the six kingdoms, was full of dominance, and created a foundation for eternity. He was the overlord of the world. If such a person were to accompany you, he would surely allow you to enjoy wealth and glory, and no one would dare to bully you."

Shuiying frowned slightly and responded, "Father, although Ying Zheng is a man of great talent and vision, he is too authoritarian. If I stay with him, I am afraid I will have no freedom and voice. His ruling methods are harsh, and if I live under his shadow, I will definitely feel oppressed. What I long for is a husband who can respect me and treat me as an equal, not such an authoritarian person."

Emperor Zhenwu: "My daughter, Li Si is a man of strategy and good at calligraphy. He made great contributions to the unification of the Qin Dynasty. He is very talented and will have many common topics with you."

Mizukage bit her lip and said, "Father, although Li Si is talented, he will do anything to gain power. Such a person is unreliable, and I don't want to get along with a scheming person. Moreover, he ultimately failed in the political struggle, and I don't want to be involved in such a risk. I expect a sincere, kind, and down-to-earth person, not a fame-seeking person like Li Si."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Shuiying, look at Meng Tian, ​​he is brave and good at fighting, guarding the border for the Qin Dynasty, loyal and reliable. With him around, you will be safe and worry-free."

Shuiying sighed and said, "Father, Meng Tian is indeed loyal and brave. He guards the border for the country, which is admirable. But he has been stationed in that desolate place for many years, and his life is hard. I don't want to be away from the prosperity and suffer in that remote place. Moreover, his responsibilities are heavy and he may face danger at any time. I don't want to be worried about his safety all day long. I want someone who can accompany me and live a stable life."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Daughter, Zhao Gao is smart and capable, and has a certain influence in the Qin court. If he becomes your husband, he may help you gain a foothold in this world."

Mizukage showed disgust on her face and said firmly: "Father, Zhao Gao is a treacherous minister with evil intentions. Being with him will only lead to endless conspiracies and disasters. What I want is an upright and kind person, not a treacherous person like him. I would rather be alone than have anything to do with Zhao Gao."

Emperor Zhenwu: "My son Shuiying, look at Xiang Yu, he is so strong that he can pull mountains and his courage is unmatched. His heroic spirit is unmatched. If he becomes your husband, he will definitely protect you for the rest of your life."

Mizukage shook his head slightly and said, "Father, although Xiang Yu is extremely brave, he is stubborn and self-willed. His impulsiveness and arrogance ultimately led to his failure. I don't want to be with someone who doesn't know how to reflect and adapt. Moreover, his world is only about war and glory, and he lacks a delicate feeling for life. What I want is a gentle and considerate person who knows how to live, not someone like Xiang Yu who only knows how to fight."

Emperor Zhenwu: "My daughter, Liu Bang is good at employing people, has built his empire, and has leadership skills. If he becomes your husband, he will definitely give you a stable life."

Mizukage revealed a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, and said: "Father, although Liu Bang is an emperor, he is very scheming. In the process of fighting for the world, he will do anything to get it. I don't like such a person. What I want is a sincere and frank husband. I can't feel at ease and can't feel real happiness with such a person."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Shuiying, look at Zhang Liang, he is extremely intelligent and has assisted Liu Bang in achieving great things. He has great foresight. He and you will surely appreciate each other and create a good story."

Mizukage shook her head slightly and said, "Father, Zhang Liang is indeed smart and wise. His strategies are admirable, and his contributions to the country are also worthy of admiration. However, he has been scheming for politics all his life. I don't want to live in a world full of calculations. What I long for is simple and pure love and life. I am afraid that I can't get such a life if I am with Zhang Liang."

Emperor Zhenwu: "My daughter, Han Xin is a master of military strategy and has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. He is brave and resourceful, and will definitely be someone you can rely on."

Mizukage frowned slightly and said, "Father, although Han Xin has military talent, he is proud of his achievements. His character easily invites trouble, and I don't want to be with someone who doesn't know how to restrain himself. Moreover, his fate is unfortunate, and I don't want to experience such twists and turns. I hope to be with a humble and steady person and live a peaceful life."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Shuiying, look at Xiao He, he is good at governing the country and has contributed to the stability of the Han Dynasty. He is steady and reliable, and will definitely give you a happy life."

Mizukage thought for a moment and said, "Father, Xiao He has the talent to govern a country, which I cannot deny. But he is too cautious. With him, life may be too dull and restrained. I hope my husband can have some adventurous spirit and romantic feelings to add some color to life. Xiao He is not the ideal husband in my mind."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Liu Heng, a benevolent and frugal man, created the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing and was a wise monarch. He ruled the country with benevolence, cared about the people, and treated those around him with generosity. Such a person will surely give you a stable and happy life."

Mizukage: "Father, although Liu Heng is a wise ruler, as an emperor, he shoulders the responsibility of the entire country. Most of his time and energy must be spent on handling state affairs. How can he have enough time to take care of his family? Moreover, the relationships in the palace are complicated and various struggles emerge in an endless stream. My daughter does not want to be involved in those intrigues and disputes and live in fear all day long. What my daughter longs for is a simple and pure relationship, someone who can accompany her wholeheartedly."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Liu Che is a man of great talent and strategy. He expanded the territory and made the Han Dynasty famous. He is courageous and decisive. He is a true hero. Isn't such a person worthy of your love?"

Mizukage: "Father, Liu Che does have great aspirations and ambitions. However, he is ambitious and he constantly launches wars to realize his ambitions. Wars bring suffering and pain to the people, and countless families are broken up. I don't want to be with a man who brings pain to the people. Moreover, the fighting in his harem is fierce, and all kinds of intrigues are exhausting. I don't want to be involved in such disputes, I just want to live a peaceful and tranquil life."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Dong Zhongshu proposed to abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone, which had a profound influence on later generations. He is knowledgeable and profound in thought. I'm sure we will have many common topics."

Mizukage: "Father, Dong Zhongshu's ideas do have their value. But he is too obsessed with Confucianism, and his life may be bound by Confucian etiquette everywhere. I long for freedom and vitality, and don't want to be restricted by various rules and dogmas. If I stay with him, I am worried that I will lose myself and will not be able to fully enjoy the fun of life. I hope to be with someone who is more open-minded and understands life better."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Wei Qing fought against the Xiongnu and made outstanding achievements. He was a humble person. He was brave and fearless on the battlefield, but low-key and reserved in life. He was a perfect match for him."

Mizukage: "Father, Wei Qing is indeed admirable. He fought on the battlefield all his life for the country. However, the battlefield is such a dangerous place. I don't want my husband to be in danger all the time and worry about his safety every day. What I want is a stable life, someone who can always be by my side and give me warmth and security. Moreover, a long-term war life may make him cold and serious, lacking the interest in life."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Huo Qubing, a young hero, is the bravest among the three armies and has made great contributions to the country. He is young and promising, full of energy, and will definitely bring you a different life."

Mizukage: "Father, Huo Qubing is indeed extremely brave. He showed extraordinary military talent at a young age, which is admirable. However, he is young and energetic, and may not be calm enough. Moreover, his life is too short, and I don't want to experience the pain of losing my lover. He is only focused on the war and may not be able to give me enough love and companionship. I hope to find someone who can support me and go through the long years together."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Sima Qian endured humiliation and wrote the "Records of the Grand Historian". His perseverance is admirable. He has talent and perseverance, and he will definitely go through the ups and downs of life with you."

Mizukage: "Father, Sima Qian's perseverance is indeed admirable. After suffering great humiliation, he still insisted on writing "Records of the Grand Historian", which is a commendable spirit. However, his life was full of suffering. I don't want to be with a person who carries such a heavy fate, as such a life may be full of haze. I hope my life will be full of sunshine and happiness, and I can enjoy the beauty of life with my lover instead of struggling in suffering."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Su Wu, who upholds his integrity and herds sheep in the North Sea, is loyal and commendable. He has noble qualities and is upright, and will surely bring you a stable life."

Mizukage: "Father, Su Wu's integrity is indeed admirable. He suffered for many years in the North Sea, but he always adhered to his beliefs. This loyalty is admirable. However, his life is too hard. What my daughter wants is someone who can give me a comfortable life, rather than going through hardships with him. My daughter hopes to live a rich and comfortable life, enjoy the sweetness of life with my lover, instead of suffering in hardship."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Huo Guang, assisting the Han Dynasty and stabilizing the government, is capable and responsible. He plays an important role in the court and can bring you glory and status."

Mizukage: "Father, Huo Guang does have great power and the ability to stabilize the government. But too much power often leads to disasters. If I stay with him, I may be caught in the vortex of political struggle and face danger at any time. I don't want such a risky life. I just want to live a peaceful and stable life. I hope to find someone who can stay away from power struggles and live a simple life with me."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Wang Mang has the ambition to reform and try to change society. He has ideals and ambitions, and will definitely bring you a different future."

Mizukage: "Father, although Wang Mang has ideals, his reforms are too radical. His actions may bring great turmoil and unrest to society. I don't like such risky people. Moreover, he is too ambitious and will do anything to achieve his goals. I hope my lover is a kind and upright person, not an ambitious conspirator."

Emperor Zhenwu: "Liu Xiu, who revived the Han Dynasty, has the demeanor of a benevolent monarch. He is wise and tolerant, and will definitely give you a happy life."

Mizukage: "Father, Liu Xiu was a good emperor. He ruled the country with benevolence and brought peace to the people. But as an emperor, his life was full of responsibilities and pressure. He spent all his time and energy on state affairs and could not give his daughter enough company and love. What his daughter longs for is an ordinary and happy life, someone who can share every bit of life with me. Rather than living a lonely life with someone who is entangled in state affairs."

Emperor Zhenwu: "My daughter, look at Ban Chao, who gave up his pen and took up arms. With his extraordinary courage and wisdom, he made great contributions to the Western Regions, pacified various forces, and made great contributions to the country. He is brave and resourceful, and is a rare talent. What do you think of him?"

Mizukage shook his head slightly and said softly, "Father, Ban Chao's bravery and wisdom are indeed admirable. He resolutely put down his pen and devoted himself to the battlefield. This courage is admirable. However, he has been in the Western Regions for a long time and separated from his family. What my daughter wants is a husband who can always be by her side, experience every bit of life with him, and share joys and sorrows with him. Instead of enduring the pain of separation all day long, she can only spend it in a long wait. My daughter doesn't want to live a life of being together less and apart more."

Emperor Zhenwu: "My son, Zhang Heng is a man of great talent. He invented great instruments such as the seismometer and made great contributions to science. His wisdom and creativity are rare in the world. Do you think such a person is worthy of your attention?"

Mizukage frowned slightly and responded, "Father, Zhang Heng's invention is indeed amazing. His intelligence is admirable. However, he may be too focused on scientific research. The husband my daughter hopes for is someone who can care about me and accompany me. He laughs with me when I am happy and gives me a warm hug when I am sad. Instead of being immersed in his own world all day and ignoring my feelings."

Emperor Zhenwu: "My daughter, Cai Lun improved the papermaking technique and benefited mankind. His achievements are indelible and he also holds a certain position in the palace. Can this man be a good match for you?"

Mizukage sighed softly and said, "Father, Cai Lun has made great contributions, and I know that. But he is in the palace, and he is inevitably involved in political struggles. The palace is full of ever-changing situations and risks. I don't want to live a life full of risks. I just hope to have a peaceful and stable life. I want to be with my beloved and stay away from disputes and dangers."

Emperor Zhenwu: "My son, Cao Cao is a great hero in troubled times, with great talent and strategy. He rose in these troubled times and achieved great success. Is such a person worthy of you?"
