Li Mo, a middle school civics teacher, was bound to a bizarre System. His everyday modern life, from scrolling through TikTok and ordering takeout to squeezing onto the subway, was being livestreamed in real time to Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Song, Emperor Taizu of Ming, Emperor Qianlong, and rulers from dynasties throughout history!
And so, history witnessed scenes like these:
221 BC, Xianyang Palace
Watching a high-speed train roar across the sky screen, Qin Shi Huang slapped the table and rose to his feet. “This iron dragon travels a thousand li in a day! I want one! Summon the Mohist disciples at once!”
119 BC, Weiyang Palace
Emperor Wu of Han stared at a video explaining antibiotics and hurriedly summoned the Chief Physician. “This miracle drug can cure chills and fever? Make it for Us! Whatever the cost!”
755 AD, Xingqing Palace
Watching a documentary about the An Lushan Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang broke into a cold sweat. “That traitor An Lushan... Gao Lishi, summon Geshu Han to the capital immediately!”
1069 AD, the Imperial Palace in Kaifeng
Comparing an infographic on the “Applications of the Four Great Inventions,” Emperor Shenzong of Song lamented, “My Great Song has such marvelous technologies, yet we've let them gather dust? Wang Anshi, Shen Kuo, begin the reforms at once!”
1399 AD, the Imperial Palace in Nanjing
Watching a map of the Jingnan Campaign, Emperor Jianwen of Ming went deathly pale. “Fourth Uncle... he really will rebel? Hurry, revise the plan to reduce the power of the vassal princes!”
1793 AD, the Forbidden City
As Emperor Qianlong watched an infographic comparing the Industrial Revolution, the teacup in his hand shattered with a sharp crack. “Britain has advanced this far? Heshen, summon Macartney back at once!”
The narrative is worth watching. It's Zhu Yunwen and Qianlong. These two guys appear too frequently. (A bit suspected of whitewashing) 🤔👀
The thinking is wild and unconstrained, the two threads are paralleled, the history is complex but not chaotic, it is a good book worth reading!! Throw out the protagonist's target as soon as possible!
It's interesting to write
Very beautiful. So pretty
