Late at night, Li Xiaodong was scrolling through his phone when he came across a video. A young man sat in front of a blackboard and said to the camera, “Today, we're counting down China's ten greatest emperors.”
He was about to swipe past it, but for some reason he stopped and decided to keep watching.
What he didn't know was that the video he watched was being broadcast simultaneously on an endless sky screen, floating above every dynasty.
Before Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng gazed up with one hand on his sword, his face livid. Li Shimin set down his chess piece and shielded Empress Zhangsun behind him. Liu Che rushed barefoot out of Weiyang Palace. Wu Zetian stood atop the city tower, the corner of her mouth lifting as she said only, “How interesting.” Zhu Yuanzhang crouched on the threshold with a bowl of noodles and cursed, “What the hell is this?”
The rankings were revealed one by one. Comments flooded the screen as modern viewers argued fiercely over who deserved to be called the greatest emperor of all time. The ancients stared at the incomprehensible words and images in the sky and collectively lost it. None of the emperors would accept being outranked; they all wanted to climb through the sky screen and argue face-to-face with the person who made the video.
Zhao Kuangyin was tenth and Zhu Di was ninth. I just made do with it. Which one can Wu Zetian put in front of them? Zhao Kuangyin or Zhu Di!
In this kind of ranking, 99% of them are Qin Chui. The one who leads Wu Zetian is the one who blows the wind. I would rank their parents as more awesome than them. Their ancestors were more awesome than their parents.
