The Northern Xuan Kingdom and the Southern Xuan Kingdom were sworn enemies, constantly scheming and fighting over everything, locked in a bitter struggle with neither side willing to yield. Their only shared goal was to build up their armies, conquer the other, and unite the land.
Then one day, a sky screen appeared above both kingdoms.
[Hello, everyone! Today, let's talk about Emperor Taizong of Xuan, hailed as an emperor for the ages, who united the Northern and Southern Xuan Kingdoms!]
The emperors and officials of both kingdoms were stunned. Then they began to pray, thinking the same thing: It absolutely cannot be someone from the enemy kingdom!!!
-
Lu Yishi transmigrated by accident and became the Northern Xuan emperor's fifteenth son. He had countless siblings, his mother had died, and no one in the palace cared about him.
When the sky screen appeared, he happily sat back and watched the spectacle.
[Emperor Taizong of Xuan was enlightened and benevolent, a man of extraordinary talent and ambition. He united the two kingdoms, developed the economy, reformed the bureaucracy, and ushered in a century of peace and prosperity. He truly was an emperor for the ages!]
[Of course, it all began when Emperor Taizong of Xuan was still a prince of the Northern Xuan Kingdom. Back then, he was an obscure figure in the palace. No one could have known he would leave such an extraordinary legacy in history!]
The Northern Xuan emperor looked pleased as he glanced at his sons.
The Southern Xuan emperor beat his chest and stamped his feet, furious that the boy wasn't his own.
The princes below looked from side to side, trying to identify the rival who was supposedly "obscure."
[The Northern Kingdom's emperor had many children. One was the youngest crown prince in history, appointed heir to the throne at just two months old. Another son murdered his own brothers and successfully rebelled. But the one most discussed by later generations was the fifteenth prince, Lu Yishi, who would one day become Emperor Taizong of Xuan.]
Now the center of everyone's attention, Lu Yishi: "..."
Some time later, the two kingdoms met for negotiations.
The Northern Xuan emperor hinted, both openly and subtly, that the ruler who would unite the kingdoms had to be from his country, and urged the Southern Xuan Kingdom to submit. The sky screen appeared again.
[Picking up where the last video left off, we know that Emperor Taizong of Xuan grew up in the Northern Xuan Kingdom. But historical records say he was actually the biological son of the Southern Xuan emperor, though the two never met, not even before the emperor's death.]
The Northern Xuan emperor: ?!
The Southern Xuan emperor, gravely ill and on the verge of death, sat bolt upright: Heaven is on my side!
Lu Yishi: ...?
Sky screen, don't ruin me!
Theme: Keep moving forward!
21+
Southern Emperor: Yes, I have a child with his mother; I am his father. Northern Emperor: The kindness of raising is greater than the kindness of giving birth; I am his father! Me: Let's fight! Let's fight! 😏
A capable person like the Seventh Prince definitely needs to be given something to do. Hahaha!
Both sides claim it's their son, and since the mother is gone, no one can prove it.
The ending felt rushed and idealistic, but it's a novel, so indulging in a little fantasy is always nice.
They've arrived; the people from Nanxuan will probably have to protect their future master immediately.
Is this somewhat similar to Duan Yanqing's mindset?
[Cat paw][Cat paw][Cat paw] Looking forward to seeing what Sky Screen will tell this time!
Please, author, keep writing! You absolutely must finish this section! 😂
