The secluded courtyard was Liu Xing's refuge from the world, until the first guest knocked on the wood door - Qin Shihuang, wearing a black crown, asked "Where is my Great Wall built?"
Since then, the courtyard has become an "Emperor's Teahouse" spanning thousands of years: I accompany Liu Bang breaking corn and chatting about the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, listening to Liu Che sighing at the grapevines that the Huns are still alive, and watching Li Shimin reviewing the Zhenguan New Deal on the chessboard. ; I also handed Zhao Kuangyin a clay pot for cooking wine, listened to Kublai Khan talk about the wind in the grassland, listened to Zhu Yuanzhang complain about corrupt officials, listened to Kangxi talk about the worries of nine sons taking over the legitimate sons, and even accompanied Puyi to count the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City.
These people who once ruled the world are just ordinary guests after losing their power.

Let's take a look at Liu Xing's cross-era dialogues with emperors.
