The Eternal Emperor Is Mortified After History Gets Spoiled for Him [Historical Livestream Spoilers]

A new novel is underway: "About Zhu Di Being Praised by Zhu Yuanzhang for Starting a Rebellion". The blurb is at the very bottom~] In every dynasty, wherever the heavens touched the earth, a silver screen appeared in the sky. Written across it were the words: [Shocking! The Ten Great Wise Rulers Did These Things!] Was this heavenly sign a blessing or a curse? Which of the ten wise rulers would come first and second in the annals of history? And what were these things they had done? Princes and ministers, merchants and commoners all speculated and placed their bets. * As the First Emperor held his Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, a brilliant silver light suddenly spread across the sky, forming a screen. A celestial voice rang out: [Virtue surpassing the Three Sovereigns, achievements greater than the Five Emperors. Today, we bring you the top-ranked wise ruler, the First Emperor, the greatest emperor of all time!] The common people cried out that an immortal had descended, shouted that the First Emperor was destined by Heaven, and prostrated themselves before him! Qin Shi Huang was immensely pleased. Puffed up with pride, he basked in the admiration of the crowd. [! Now, let’s yap about the top-ranked wise ruler’s first big story "A Tavern Keeps a Dog Without a Leash. A Man Gets Bitten and Fights the Dog, and the Greatest Emperor of All Time Does This!" "A Man Says Men Shouldn’t Cry, Yet Breaks Down in Tears. Why Does the Greatest Emperor of All Time Abduct a Man?"] Qin Shi Huang: …Didn’t the sky screen just call me the greatest emperor of all time? Before the First Emperor could calm down, more headlines appeared: ["A Winning Hand from the Start, Passed Down Through Two Generations, Yet the Greatest Emperor of All Time Is a Total Slacker!" "The First Emperor Daddy Doesn’t Love Me, and the Children of the Six States Are Throwing a Tantrum!" "A Fierce Talent Descends on Great Qin, Guess Who I Am!"

"Cotton Breeding: Three Harvests a Year, No More Dreams of Going Hungry or Cold!" * Once they learned what “these things” were, princes and ministers, merchants and commoners alike rejoiced: I want to hear all the imperial gossip! Let’s all get fed and live well together! Gaozu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han, Taizong of Tang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the others watched the sky screen with mixed feelings: They could learn from their own successes and failures, which was a joy. They could see which policies were right and wrong, which was a joy. They could understand the future course of events, which was a joy. But! They shouted as one: Public humiliation! This is inhuman! As for Qin Shi Huang himself: …Thank you, but next time, please don’t make me the top-ranked wise ruler! 50% anti-piracy buffer 0.

Upcoming story 1: "About Zhu Di Being Praised by Zhu Yuanzhang for Starting a Rebellion" Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken. His beloved eldest son, Zhu Biao, had died young, leaving the position of heir vacant. But Zhu Yuanzhang was also thrilled. Just as he was agonizing over whether to pass the throne to Zhu Yunwen, a sky screen appeared at the funeral His Biao’er had appeared! As a spirit! Golden light filled the sky, and the screen boomed: [The Ming dynasty was not great under Hongwu alone! Its successors would establish a golden age surpassing Han and Tang!] [The Ren and Xuan reigns, the Hongzhi revival… One golden age after another! The emperor guards the gates, the Ming stands unbowed, never bending the knee!] Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang wept tears of joy and slapped the table in delight: Yunwen has the spirit of Hongwu!

And then… The sky screen’s words grew bold: [He seized Jinling to quell the rebellion, campaigned five times beyond the northern frontier, and shook the eight directions! The Yongle Encyclopedia gathered thousands of works!] [The greatest emperor of all time, Zhu Di, teaches us through his own experience: When the emperor suspects you’re plotting a rebellion, you’d better actually rebel! :)] Zhu Yuanzhang’s smile froze.

The bloodline that rescued the court and brought peace, that quietly amassed a fortune as silver poured in… it was all his fourth son’s descendants! And the Zhu Yunwen he had chosen? Hah. Maybe they should give the throne to his fourth son instead? - The Yongle court. After ascending the throne, Zhu Di of Yongle worked tirelessly for his country and people, never daring to relax for even a moment.[1] Because he feared neither death nor anything else as much as hearing his father and future generations call him “an illegitimate ruler” or “a usurper.” Those words were lodged in his throat, impossible to dislodge for the rest of his life.

Whether they’re trash? The fifteen Ming emperors watching simultaneously across a hundred years: Take a detailed look at what? My life? Princes, ministers, and commoners watching and discussing: Judge our emperor on what? Whether he’s awesome or a flop? That sounds fun!
