So, what are history's regrets?
Old Qin folk: What do you mean, the Qin Dynasty that our ancestors spent five hundred years building collapsed in just fourteen?
Li Shimin: The Xuanwu Gate succession law? Was I really wrong?
Zhuge Liang: The ideals scattered by the autumn wind over Wuzhang Plains...
Zhao Kuangyin: Hold on! What do you mean, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were never recovered throughout the entire Song Dynasty?
(Flowers bloom and fade, flowers fill the sky; you appear and vanish...)
Zhu Yuanzhang: My eldest grandson! My wife! My Biao'er!
Zhang Juzheng: I was good at serving the country, but bad at looking after myself... So this is how posterity judges me?
Now, let's bring all those regrets to market!
Qin Shi Huang: You naturally wicked little scoundrels of the Six States!
Zhuge Liang: I knew fate would be thus, but... I have never believed in fate!
Li Shimin: If all under heaven are guilty, then the guilt lies with me.
Zhao Guangyi: If my younger brother rides a donkey cart and my elder brother wields a Coiling Dragon Staff, who in the realm can stand against us?
Zhu Yuanzhang: Since the fourth son is useful, then work him to death! As long as he's busy enough, he won't have any improper ideas!
Zhu Youjian: Heaven created all things to nourish mankind, yet not one of you has anything to offer me in return. Then I shall naturally follow the methods of Taizu!
Of course, some aren't quite so worked up... perhaps.
Liu Yu: Wait, what? Guys! You keep asking why I didn't have another son? Is that something I can just decide to do? Wouldn't it be more useful to figure out how to let the third one live a few more years than to keep finding new ways to pressure me into having a child?
Li Zhi (early): Father, Meiniang and I truly love each other! Please give us your blessing!
Li Zhi (later): A true man needn't worry about lacking a wife! My son doesn't have to hang himself from just one tree.
