If Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty competed on the same stage, who would be the true emperor through the ages?
Programmer Chen Che died suddenly while working overtime. Instead of traveling through time and becoming a prince or general, he became a ball of light - a subsystem with "administrator privileges". His mission is to summon all emperors from Qin to Qing to hold an unprecedented "Comprehensive Rating Competition of Chinese Emperors" in a space called "Qianqiu Palace".
As a result, Xiang Yu's old enemy Liu Bang sat side by side with Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian faced the Tang emperor Li Yuan who replaced him, and the beggar emperor Zhu Yuanzhang competed with the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan. There are no time and space restrictions here, only the cruelest rules: merit, governance, moral character, influence, all-round evaluation in four major dimensions.
However, it's not just scoring and debating.
The competition reaches its climax, and a more subversive link begins: the exchange of emperors' souls - allowing Qin Shihuang to experience Song Huizong's literary grace and humiliation, and allowing Tang Taizong to face Chongzhen's desperate situation. Historical simulation intervention - sending Zhu Yuanzhang to travel to the late Qing Dynasty to see how Emperor Hongwu responded to changes unseen in three thousand years; letting Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty Liu Xiu personally experience the "Anshi Rebellion" to test whether his "judo" can quell the collapse of the prosperous age.
This is the ultimate historical deduction, an extreme torture of the emperor's mind and the direction of civilization.
Chen Che sat high on the throne of the King of Hell, overlooking this eternal feast led by him. What he wants to judge is not only the best emperor, but also the ultimate answer to the rise and fall of Chinese civilization.
