The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 835: Shock! Who is the first emperor's hometown?

[Dear friends, today we are going to talk about an interesting topic. 】

[Which province produced the most founding emperors? ]

[This matter has caused quite a stir on the Internet recently, with netizens from all over the country battling fiercely, all claiming that their hometowns have produced the most emperors.]

[Today I will tell you about this and find out which place is the real "hometown of kings". ]

【Let me first talk about our statistical standards. 】

[First, it is not about who has been emperor, but who is the one who actually holds power.]

[For example, Cao Cao and Sima Yi, although they did not become emperors when they were alive, they were actually the founders of new dynasties, so they should also be counted. ]

……

Eastern Han Dynasty plane.

Sima Yi looked at the sky and was secretly happy at first.

"It turns out that in this world, our Sima family finally has a chance."

Then he remembered that there were many ears and eyes around him, so he quickly restrained the smile on his face, lowered his head and pretended to cough a few times.

"Not good. If Lord Cao sees the contents of this sky curtain, he will definitely be suspicious of me."

Sima Yi's mind raced: "Recently, I have been pretending to be sick to avoid disaster, and I have gained Cao Gong's trust. But I am afraid that this matter on the list will make Cao Gong suspicious again."

Sima Yi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he thought of the way Cao Cao treated his confidants.

"Lord Cao has always been extremely suspicious, even to the point of killing his own son. If he starts to suspect me, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to explain myself."

"We have to think of a foolproof plan quickly."

Sima Yi paced and pondered.

"Why don't you just ask for retirement on the grounds of health?"

"No, no, avoiding it at this time would only make it look more suspicious."

He thought again.

"Why not take the initiative to ask for the order to supervise the border? Staying away from Xudu will show your loyalty and avoid their sharp edge."

Sima Yi thought: "I should show more morbidity on weekdays, so that people will think that I am not interested in this."

Thinking of this, Sima Yi looked up at the sky again.

"Just be patient. Those who want to accomplish great things should not rush into anything. Lord Cao is already past the age of knowing his destiny. Sooner or later, our Sima clan will have a chance in this world."

"But now, I have to think carefully about how to respond to Cao Gong's questioning."

……

[Second, since the Eastern Jin and Western Jin dynasties are one family, we only count them as one.]

[For example, in the Jin Dynasty, we only count Sima Yi, the founder. ]

[The same is true for the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, and the Former Yan and Later Yan dynasties. They are all from the same family, so they can only be counted as one.]

【Third, the small dynasties during the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms also count.】

[However, if they are particularly short-lived, such as Ran Wei and the vassal states during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they do not count.]

……

The Great Wei plane.

Ran Min stared at the sky, furious.

"Wherever the might of the Wei army reaches, all the lands surrender. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Di, Qiang, who wouldn't be terrified?"

"How dare these people curse my Great Wei to have a short reign? What a joke!"

Once he has wiped out these barbarians, let’s see who dares to underestimate the Wei Dynasty!
……

[There are also regimes that were not ruled by the Han people, such as the Xiongnu, Turks, Nanzhao, Dali, Bohai Kingdom, and Tubo, which are not included.]

[Based on these three criteria, from the Xia Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, a total of 57 people fall into our statistical range. ]

[But there is a problem here, that is, some people’s native place and birthplace are not the same place. ]

[In ancient times, some people particularly liked to "cling to famous families". They were obviously from other places, but they insisted on saying that they were "Old Beijing Amazing". ]

……

The Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Yuan looked at the discussion about "clinging to prominent families" on the sky curtain and couldn't help but touch his beard guiltily.

Although the world is now settled, he still feels uneasy about such family matters.

"This... this is actually a bit difficult to explain."

Thinking back to when he claimed to be from the Longxi Li clan, he actually just took refuge with a few relatives in Chang'an in his early years, and that's how he got this relationship.

Now that he was exposed in front of her, it seemed a bit embarrassing. "Forget it, the world has been settled, so what's the harm in such a small matter?"

On second thought, is the empire I have built not as valuable as an empty reputation?
Thinking of this, I felt a little relieved.

……

[In this case, we will use the place of birth as the standard. ]

[Speaking of this, I have to mention that among these 57 people, there is one person whose birthplace is unclear, and that person is Li Bian, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.]

[This guy was an orphan since childhood and was adopted by a powerful official. ]

[Historical records say he might be from Xuzhou, Haizhou, or Huzhou.]

[Anyway, there are different opinions, and we don’t know which one to believe, so we just exclude him. ]

Barrage:

——"Hahaha, the joke 'Laobei is amazing' is so real"

——"It feels like the history bosses are about to quarrel, high energy ahead"

——"My goodness, this will take forever to calculate."

……

After reading the contents of the sky curtain, Li Bian became extremely angry.

How ridiculous this is!

"I founded the Southern Tang Dynasty and worked hard to govern it. How can I be easily wiped out just because of my unknown origin?"

"Whether it's Xuzhou or Haizhou, can one's origin negate my achievements?"

He was silent for a moment and then said, "Someone, go check it out!"

"We must get to the bottom of my origins, so that these people can shut up!"

……

When this argument was passed down to ancient times, it naturally caused discussions from all sides.

"In my opinion, these statistics may not be accurate."

"How to say?"

"It is ridiculous for those small countries to be counted as the founding emperors."

Some ancient people shook their heads after hearing this, thinking that this kind of ranking method was nothing but nonsense.

“I find this kind of statistics quite interesting.”

"Indeed, in the past we only knew the merits and demerits of these emperors, but today we know where they are from."

Some people even began to secretly wonder why most of these emperors came from the north. Could it really be related to the right time and place?

……

Eastern Han Dynasty plane.

Cao Cao looked at the sky curtain and felt proud: "It's quite interesting. These descendants do understand some principles."

"Although I have not proclaimed myself emperor, I know that the country actually belongs to the Cao family. I'm afraid that kid Zijian will laugh at me for not being decisive enough."

Just as he was feeling proud of himself, his eyes suddenly fell on Sima Yi's name, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"Sima Yi? Is this old bastard also on the list?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard unconsciously, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

Recalling Sima Yi's usual sickly appearance, he always showed his shrewdness at critical moments.

"This person is extremely cunning, could it be that he..."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao took a deep breath and carefully recalled Sima Yi's recent behavior.

"No wonder this guy always looks so loyal. It turns out he has this in mind."

Cao Cao paced and thought: "This man is very intelligent. I underestimated him."

"Let me make a careful plan. I will use his talents, but I will also guard against his ambitions."

"Pass my military order and have Sima Yi come to discuss matters tomorrow. I want to observe carefully."

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "Recently, there have been many reports of military incidents on the border. It would be better to send him to supervise the troops so that he is away from the center of power."

As he was thinking about it, he thought of the hardships he had experienced when he was conquering the world, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"This world is indeed full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons."

"Forget it. Since he is regarded as the founding emperor by later generations, I believe that the world will belong to the Cao family sooner or later."

"As for Sima Yi... let's see what tricks he can come up with."
