Late Sui: My Sky Screen Livestream of the Road to the Fall of My Empire

In the eighth year of Daye, a million Sui troops were defeated by Goguryeo. The treasury was empty, war fires blazed, and the Great Sui had barely a breath left!

I, Yang Zhao, a modern history PhD, had just transmigrated into the son of a disgraced crown prince under house arrest when I activated a cross-time sky screen!

A screen suddenly appeared over Chang'an, livestreaming “The Siege of Yanmen” and “The Jiangdu Mutiny,” shoving the script of the Great Sui's downfall right in everyone's faces!

Yang Guang: “You demonize the truth to deceive the people! I am Heaven's chosen, how could I lose my empire?” Three days later, the Turks besieged Yanmen. With his face thoroughly smacked, the emperor came to me in the middle of the night and asked, “Yang Zhao, quick! How many episodes do I have left?”

Yuwen Huaji: “This is sorcery. Yang Zhao must be executed!” The sky screen immediately played footage of him secretly colluding with the Turks. The old traitor fell silent on the spot, left to watch as I used improved gunpowder and high-yield potatoes from System rewards to topple the foundations of his aristocratic clan, step by step!

Li Mi led the Wagang forces against us? The sky screen revealed the ambush point in advance, and I used fire to send him running in nothing but his underwear. A severe drought struck Guanzhong? I promoted potatoes and waterwheels, and the grateful refugees built shrines to me while I was still alive. The Guanlong faction plotted a coup? The sky screen livestreamed the whole thing, making them a public laughingstock!

From the descendant of a condemned minister to Duke of Qi, and then to the savior who rewrote the end of the Sui dynasty, I did it in just three steps:

1. Watch the sky screen's spoilers and avoid the pitfalls ahead of time;

2. Put System rewards to work and farm with all I've got;

3. Crush the traitors and protect the Great Sui!

Yang Guang: “Yang Zhao, I pass the throne to you!”

Me: “Your Majesty, don't rush. Let's watch today's sky screen first: a livestream on how to establish the Three Departments and Six Ministries, followed by a lesson on how to make all nations come pay tribute!”

Who says the Great Sui is doomed to fall? With me and the sky screen here, this golden age will last another three hundred years.
