Sky Screen: I Started with Memes, and Zhu Yuanzhang Died of Laughter!

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was fretting over his son Biao's health when a divine sky screen appeared! It showed neither the future nor a judgment of good and evil. From the start, it played “You Are So Beautiful” for the entire court! Zhu Yuanzhang: “What kind of demon is this? Guards, seize it!” [Ding! The Ming court has witnessed a divine miracle and is collectively baffled. The Ming dynasty's fortunes fall by 1!] Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He looked at the sky screen again, and it started playing “Black Coffin Bearers”! [Ding! Host Zhu Yuanzhang, comprehend Heaven's secrets, or the Ming dynasty's fortunes will fall by 10!] With no other choice, Zhu Yuanzhang and his officials embarked on a long journey of “enlightenment.” Zhu Di: “Father, I understand! This chicken represents the territory of our Ming dynasty! Its endless singing and dancing warns us to be diligent in state affairs and never slack off!” [Ding! Prince of Yan Zhu Di has interpreted it correctly. The Ming dynasty's fortunes rise by 100. Reward: ten thousand jin of potato seeds!] Zhu Yuanzhang: “That's my boy!” From then on, the Ming dynasty's style took a sharp turn for the bizarre. Confronted by corrupt officials, Zhu Yuanzhang said: “Do you think your connections are really that impressive?” To foreign envoys, Zhu Yuanzhang said: “Come on, perform the ‘Subject Three’ dance for me!” Years later, as the Ming fleet sailed to conquer the world, wherever they planted their flags, one phrase rang out: “Brothers, bottoms up!”
