(I watched a video and found it both infuriating and kind of funny, so I wrote this.)
When a “historical expert” from Kimchi Country spouted nonsense on an international livestream, claiming that Yi Seong-gye of Joseon was the greatest emperor of all time, on a par with the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of Han!
When paying tribute was twisted into sophisticated geopolitical wisdom, and acknowledging another as one's father was prettified as a quest for civilizational identity!
When ignorant comments began asking whether we had been too arrogant!
Jiang Chen, a graduate student in history, witnessed this farce of turning truth on its head. His blood boiled with rage!
At the height of his fury, the [Through the Ages Sky Screen Livestream System] successfully bound itself to him! It was an incredible golden finger that could livestream modern footage to the emperors and ministers of ancient times!
“Yi Seong-gye is the greatest emperor of all time?”
Jiang Chen connected the livestream directly to the Qin Empire, letting the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, witness it with his own eyes while on his eastern inspection tour!
“His achievements are on a par with Emperor Wu of Han?”
The camera cut seamlessly to Weiyang Palace, where the ambitious Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, could give his verdict on the spot!
“We had equal standing with the Ming Empire?”
The footage was transmitted to Fengtian Hall, where the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just granted Yi Seong-gye's family their dynastic name, burst out laughing. “Ha! I just gave his family a new name, and now someone's making him out to be a dragon?”
Qin, Han, and Ming: three of China's greatest emperors, along with a thoroughly bewildered Yi Seong-gye, king of Joseon, were all forced to take their seats and watch this ridiculous spectacle together!
