Thanks for the invitation.
I was in the Yangxin Hall and had just come down from the morning court.
As a doctor of history who has entered into his thesis, Ji Cheng feels very complicated now. She studied the political structure of the late Tang Dynasty for six years, and was familiar with every detail of the eunuchs' monopoly after the Ganlu Incident - including, of course, the tragic ending of the last empress of the late Tang Dynasty who was rated as "cowardly and incompetent" by history books.
According to the "Old Tang Book: Biography of the Concubines", in the fourth year of Emperor Zhaozong's reign in the Tang Dynasty, Han Quangui, the left lieutenant of the Shence Army who controlled the government, launched a palace coup, poisoned the empress, and established a new clan. The historian cherished the ink as much as gold, leaving only ten words: "The emperor died at the age of twenty-two, and his posthumous title was Ai".
And now, Ji Cheng is the Emperor Ai who has three days left to live.
Faced with the disobedience of the courtiers, the eager gaze of the eunuchs, the imminent moves of the feudal towns, and the desperate situation surrounded by "villains", Ji Cheng looked through the Twenty-Four Histories and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" in his mind, and decided to take a path that had never been recorded in the history books -
Since he is destined to be abolished, it is better to abolish himself first.
It's not about abolishing the throne, it's about abolishing this dilemma of the late Tang Dynasty that has been running for more than two hundred years. Farming, training troops, checks and balances, cutting down feudal vassals... She used the knowledge reserves of modern people and the divine perspective of historians to start anew on the ruins of the late Tang Dynasty.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty thought she was a puppet to be exploited.
The eunuch group felt that she was just a decoration to listen to politics behind the curtain.
The governor of the feudal town took her as his tool to command the world.
But when Ji Cheng smiled in the court and said, "I want to reset the Shence Army," everyone was waiting to see how she would end up.
She certainly made for a good show.
Watch how the puppet cuts the threads, watch how the chess pieces overturn the chess game.
