Sky Screen Livestream: The Idle, Ever-Famous Ruler's Secret Identity Is Exposed

Yan Shuangyu was reborn again.

In his previous life, he had been reborn as the crown prince of the Daxing Dynasty.

The good news was that he successfully ascended the throne, worked diligently, neglected sleep and meals, and eventually unified the Six Kingdoms, becoming a wise ruler for the ages.

The bad news was that he worked so hard he died of overwork, passing away at the age of just thirty-five.

His brothers fought fiercely over the throne.

In the end, his youngest brother swooped in and took it.

After being reborn, Yan Shuangyu had an epiphany: instead of working himself to death, he might as well lie flat and take care of his health.

His father was capable, and his brothers were capable too. Whoever became emperor, none of them would let him go without.

So in this life, at the tender age of six, Yan Shuangyu managed to get himself stripped of his position as crown prince, becoming the first person in history to do so.

The year he came of age, his father, the emperor, had grown old and planned to appoint a crown prince to ensure the succession.

His brothers were rubbing their hands in anticipation when the sky screen appeared.

[Picking up where we left off, the host is back to share more about the life of Emperor Taizong of Xing, Emperor Wu of Ming. This crown prince broke the historical curse of the crown prince, holding the position safely for sixteen years. He would become Taizong, an emperor for the ages, and he was truly no ordinary person...]

At the Longevity Banquet, everyone froze, from the emperor and the princes to all the officials in court.

Taizong?

An emperor for the ages?

Which prince of our Daxing Dynasty was so incredible?

The princes looked at one another, each finding the others especially suspicious.

Only Yan Shuangyu, munching peanuts in a corner, suddenly stiffened. Why did it sound as if they were talking about him?

[I've seen some friends asking why Emperor Wu of Ming is considered an emperor for the ages, so let me tell you all about it. Let's start with his greatest achievement: unifying the Six Kingdoms.]

The emperor, already worried about border conflicts and other nations eyeing them covetously: ???

[Emperor Xuanwu's contributions to public welfare and infrastructure need no further explanation: potatoes and sweet potatoes yielding three thousand jin per mu, and rice seeds that produce three harvests a year.]

The ministers and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Revenue: ???

[Then there's the Dujiang Dam, the management of the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers, and the countless water conservancy projects he built. He truly accomplished in one reign what would take three generations. Even today, many of the mountain roads in China date back to that time.]

Everyone in the Ministry of Works: ????

[So it's no exaggeration to call Emperor Wu of Ming a consummate workaholic and an emperor for the ages. After him, many emperors throughout the dynasties named their favorite sons Shuangyu.]

Everyone turned to look at Yan Shuangyu in unison.

The Hanlin scholars who had once taught in the Imperial Study were collectively losing their minds. Who? Who did you say?

This useless crown prince, who still couldn't recite the Three Character Classic, was an emperor for the ages?!

Yan Shuangyu, who had spent half his life lying flat and was just about to retire to his fief to fish: "..."

Slander! I'm suing this sky screen. This is pure slander!
