Dynasties of the Past Watch Me Take the Civil Service Exam

There's an upcoming story at the bottom: "The Dynasties Watch Me Scroll on My Phone." Blurb below. In May of the third year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong was holding court in the Taiji Palace. As they discussed the imperial examinations, the sky screen suddenly rippled and flickered. [Hello, everyone. Welcome to my livestream reviewing mistakes from my civil service exam prep.] [Today's review is general knowledge. Question 11: Which peasant uprising took place during the Tang dynasty? A. The Daze Village Uprising B. The Yellow Turban Rebellion C. The Huang Chao Rebellion D. The Wagang Stronghold Uprising. We can eliminate this one right away. It was during Emperor Yang of Sui's reign. Those TV dramas I watched as a kid weren't for nothing.] Qin Shi Huang: Daze Village? A rebellion! Tang Taizong: There'll be peasant uprisings during the Tang dynasty? Emperor Wen of Sui: Yang? [Hello, everyone. Today's review is verbal reasoning.] [Different people have different opinions on the twin peaks of Chinese historiography, and literary scholars consider the language of Zizhi Tongjian plain and dull, while historians consider the famous Records of the Grand Historian chapter "The Feast at Hongmen" to be ( ) A. incisive and penetrating B. richly expressive and eloquent C. biased and inaccurate D. inadequate as a model. The answer is D, of all things.] Sima Guang: ? Xiang Yu: ! * He Xiaxia has absolutely no self-control. Ever since she started livestreaming her exam prep, passionate fans have been tipping her every day, urging her to do more practice questions and review her mistakes. To earn money and pass the exam as soon as possible, He Xiaxia goes live on time every day. Viewers: Tell us more about discount and profit calculation questions! Who was Diao Chan? Did Lu Bu really kill Dong Zhuo because of her subtle hints? How do you make tables and pie charts? - Content warnings: - 1. Parallel worlds. The different dynasties don't affect or interfere with one another. 2. The question bank is made up. If there are mistakes or things that don't make sense, please don't scrutinize them too closely. 3. If you spot a historical or answer-explanation bug, please let me know gently. The author studied science and, despite doing a lot of research, is still a bit clueless. 4. Everyone has different interests and pays attention to different things, so what they know will differ too. (Something that's ordinary to person A may not interest person B, who may never have seen it at all.) 5. This is fiction, not a true account of preparing for civil service exams. 6. More may be added later. Upcoming story: "The Dynasties Watch Me Scroll on My Phone" After Cheng Sijin clicked through 999 sponsored posts, her phone automatically activated a feature called [Dispatches Across Ten Thousand Dynasties]. She swiped up, and a new video began playing, sent to countless parallel worlds and hung in the sky like a screen. [Just a woman~ Always loving with all her heart~ Always trapped by love~] As a heartfelt female voice sang, two broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted men in black and white shirts danced on the sky screen. The dynasties: This is an insult to propriety! [My fascinating ancestor, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng! He united the six kingdoms, standardized the written language and the width of carts... All he wanted was a pill of immortality. Just give it to him!] Ying Zheng: Uniting the six kingdoms? Excellent, excellent, excellent! Liu Che: Why wasn't I mentioned? Li Shimin: It seems that later generations hold Qin Shi Huang in particularly high regard? [When the intro starts, the ancestors appear! First up, the Ming Dynasty's ominous tune. The moment the funeral music starts, I know someone's kicked the bucket again. Second, the song dedicated to Emperor Wu of Han. From then on, wherever rivers flowed and sunlight reached, it was all Han territory!] Zhu Yuanzhang: What do you mean, a funeral? And someone's kicked the bucket again? Liu Che swept his sleeve aside, brimming with confidence: That's me! That's the Great Han! * But the sky screen didn't appear all the time, and its contents were wildly varied, so the people of the dynasties came up with a way to worship it. One night, after Cheng Sijin fell fast asleep, she saw a group of ancient people practicing martial arts in her dream. Amid the grand, stately sounds of court music, a young general in armor wielded his spear with a fierce, whirling flourish. He said his name was Huo Qubing. Early the next morning, Cheng Sijin searched for Huo Qubing on her phone. [Champion Marquis Huo Qubing achieved the highest military honors of ancient times by the age of twenty-one. He watered his horses in the distant northern sea and raised a monument at Mount Langjuxu...] Liu Che laughed heartily: The sky screen really does like watching people dance! This worship ritual works! * Lately, whenever Cheng Sijin closes her eyes, all sorts of ancestors appear in her dreams and dance. And they get bolder with every dance. Cheng Sijin has no choice but to hug her phone and shout, "I'm never watching suggestive videos again!" Theme: Live as yourself, and live a brilliant life.
