Sky Screen: A Showdown at Xianyang's Gates Leaves Ying Zheng Stunned

The sky screen aired short videos.

“Second Emperor Fusu: A showdown at Xianyang’s gates. Winner becomes emperor” got Ying Zheng so excited that he immediately named Fusu Crown Prince of Qin.

“Shaosong: The imperial banner advances, the emperor leads the campaign” positively PUAed Zhao Gou, and he promptly got his act together. (If you can’t accept this, you can stop reading here. There’s no need to comment or keep going.)

“Hey, I, Li Shimin, got MVP” made Li Yuan completely lose it.

“Li Chengqian: Your Majesty, call me Crown Prince” made Li Shimin weep bitterly.

“All Sixteen Ming Emperors Were Eccentrics” made the emperors of the Ming dynasty spit blood.

The iconic scenes from Empresses in the Palace and Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace sent Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong reeling.

The sky screen gave the ancestors caught amid the flames of war a glimpse of modern China’s magnificent landscape. Is this prosperous China what you wished for?

Through the sky screen, people from every dynasty learned about the sweeping, tumultuous history of modern times. They saw modern skyscrapers, ordinary people living in comfort and plenty, and the might of modern weapons...

Ying Zheng: “With a map of the world in hand, all that territory belongs to us!”

Liu Che: “AK-47s, tanks, J-20s... I’ll give them to young Huo so he can wipe out the Xiongnu!”

Li Shimin: “Science and technology are the primary productive forces. Let’s develop technology!”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “Rice yielding a thousand catties per mu!!! Th-this could feed so many people in the Ming!”
