Great Han: My Grandfather Is Emperor Wu

According to the Records of the Grand Historian, in 100 BC, the first year of the Tianhan era, Emperor Wu, the Martial Emperor of the Han, took his second grandson, Liu Yi, to the Taiyi Temple on Mount Zhongnan to worship the god Taiyi.

As soon as they reached the foot of Mount Zhongnan, they were ambushed. A band of wandering assassins seized the emperor’s second grandson, Liu Yi, and fled thirty li north. The Taiyi River blocked their path, so the assassins jumped into the river with the young prince.

All the assassins drowned. Only the emperor’s second grandson, Liu Yi, disappeared beneath the waters, his body never found. The Martial Emperor was consumed by grief and blamed himself bitterly. He posthumously named his seven-year-old grandson Min.

Nine years later, Liu Mo transmigrated to the Han dynasty. He was boasting about his past to a frail old man on the brink of death.

When the old man heard how Liu Mo had survived the Taiyi River, he said with a tremble, “My child, I am the Son of Heaven. I’ll make you my heir and pass the throne to you!”

Liu Mo chuckled. “What a coincidence! I’m Qin Shi Huang... Heh, old man, you sure know how to brag even better than I do!”
