Livestreaming the Excavation of Ming Xiaoling, While Zhu Yuanzhang Watches from Court

I’m Lin Chuan, captain of the national archaeological team.

The moment the underground palace of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum opened, my livestream was projected in real time onto the court of the Ming dynasty in the twenty-fifth year of the Hongwu era.

I said that Zhu Yuanzhang would die in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, and he flew into a rage in court.

I said Zhu Biao would die before him. Zhu Biao himself was standing beside the throne, his face deathly pale.

The entire court fell to its knees, convinced that Heaven had sent down divine punishment.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the whole country to find an expert who could break through the sky screen.

Meanwhile, I was still explaining to the camera:

“Next, we’ll open his coffin.”

This is a story where I handle the archaeology and Zhu Yuanzhang handles the emotional breakdown.
