【The Jin Dynasty ended the Three Kingdoms War in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but it only lasted for 155 years and had as many as 15 emperors. This was more than the number of emperors in the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, the Jin Dynasty was not only divided into the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, but also lasted for a shorter time than the Yuan Dynasty.】

The Three Kingdoms War? The Jin Dynasty finally replaced the Han Dynasty?

Emperor Wu of Han remembered the name of this dynasty firmly.

【The period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties after the Jin Dynasty lasted for 169 years. The Southern Dynasty changed four dynasties, and the Northern Dynasty experienced five dynasties that existed in parallel or in succession after it split into sixteen countries.】

[This chaotic situation did not end until the Sui and Tang dynasties.]

Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Taizong of Tang perked up again, while Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also stared at the scroll without blinking.

【However, after the Tang Dynasty, China fell into the divisive situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Although this period lasted only 77 years, it was often "the flags on the city walls changed", and the whole country was plunged into warlord melee. It was not until the emergence of the Song Dynasty that this situation was basically ended. 】

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms lasted for seventy-seven years?
Emperor Taizong of Tang sighed in his heart.

Five dynasties and ten countries lasted only seventy-seven years. It is not an exaggeration to say that China was a mess during that period. Is this what is meant by "the world will eventually unite after a long period of division, and will eventually divide after a long period of unity"?

[This was the case even during the unified dynasties, and during these periods of division, there were even more young rulers of small states. Therefore, during this period, a female emperor also appeared. In other words, there was actually more than one female emperor in Chinese history, Wu Zetian.]

What, there is another empress?
All the emperors cheered up again.

[This female emperor was Miss Yuan from the Northern Wei Dynasty. When she was just one month old, her father was killed by the Queen Mother, and she was later passed off as a boy by the Queen Mother to inherit the throne.]

[But after just one day, the Queen Mother regretted her decision and thought it was too absurd, so she immediately deposed her. After that, there was no news of this Miss Yuan! ]

As an emperor, how can you treat him like this? This is really an insult to the word "emperor".

This "emperor" is even worse than a puppet. Even puppets are controlled by people, but this Miss Yuan is just a tool, used and abandoned. In essence, she is worse than a kitten or a puppy.

[Yes, in that period, the succession of the throne was just a joke. The emperor could become a bargaining chip in the hands of anyone, and even a puppet, controlled by different powerful ministers, relatives and officials.]

[For example, Miss Yuan’s father, who I just mentioned, was killed by his mother because he didn’t listen to his queen mother! ]

[If even the royal family is like this, what about the ordinary people in this period? What should they do? People in troubled times are worse than dogs in prosperous times! ]

People in troubled times are worse than dogs in prosperous times?
This metaphor completely silenced the emperors!
Do they understand this principle?
got it!

But if it will shake the dynasty's rule and hurt the people, they will go back and do it!

[No wonder some people lament that "when a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer." This is indeed the case. ]

【Thus, the feudal emperors who had lasted for more than two thousand years finally met their end. A system that no longer needed an emperor emerged, and it truly realized that the people were the masters of their own country. This was a historical necessity, and it was also the inevitability of the dynasty's demise! 】

[Finally, we will list the young emperors of the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties again, which is the finale of our "Top Ten Young Emperors" series! ]

The emperors were stunned.
What do you mean?
Is this the end of the Heavenly Scroll?

Aren't there ten emperors? We have only counted seven of them, how can it end?
What's more, shouldn't the first issue be divided into three parts? Now this is the first part!
It was not until this time that many emperors with good memories realized that there seemed to be no words "upper, middle, and lower" marked at the beginning of this heavenly scroll.
In other words, this is a unique issue.

Zhu Yuanzhang: I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!

It’s a pity that although he had realized it a long time ago, he was caught off guard by the fact that the last time would only last one episode.
He quickly sent out a barrage of comments.

【@子控凶残老父: The old lady is untrustworthy. Where are the ten emperors? 】

As a result, the descendants of the Ming Dynasty immediately followed him in posting comments.

Zhu Di: That’s right, less than ten, only seven.

Zhu Yunwen: Grandma, you must take a careful inventory before ending.

……

Zhu Houzhao curled his lips after reading it: This issue has counted at least ten. There were ten child emperors in the Han Dynasty alone, and the rest are not counted. Although the old lady is lazy, she is not cheating.

Instead of hoping that the old lady will change her decision, it is better to seize the few remaining opportunities.

Although the barrage made the video blurry, the video was not interrupted and he continued with his inventory.

[During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Fang of Wei ascended the throne at the age of eight and was the third emperor of Wei. He reigned for fifteen years, but was later deposed as the King of Qi and died of illness. Sun Liang of Wu ascended the throne at the age of nine and was the second emperor of Wu. He reigned for six years, but was deposed as the King of Kuaiji and died on the way to exile.] The warlords of the Three Kingdoms who had always paid attention to the Heavenly Scroll but never said anything.

Cao Cao: Whoever harms my descendants, whoever usurps my throne!

Sun Quan: So, after Cao Cao deposed the Han emperor, he also died soon after?
Liu Bei was secretly delighted: It seems that there is no Shu Kingdom.

[Eastern Jin Dynasty: Emperor Cheng of Jin Sima Yan ascended the throne at the age of five, the third emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and reigned for seventeen years; Emperor Mu of Jin Sima Dan ascended the throne at the age of two, the fifth emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and reigned for seventeen years;]

Cao Cao: Eastern Jin? Sima family? It's Sima Yi, the old thief! Someone, bring me my sword!
[Southern Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties: Liu Yu, the eighth emperor of Liu Song, ascended the throne at the age of ten and reigned for five years before being killed by Yang Yufu and Yang Wannian.]

The kings of Liu Song: Yang Yufu? Yang Wannian? We remember these two names.

[There were many Northern Dynasties, starting with the Northern Wei Dynasty: Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong ascended the throne at the age of five, was the seventh emperor, and reigned for 28 years;]

What does "there were many Northern Dynasties" mean?
Emperor Xiaowen of Wei frowned deeply.
After me, will our dynasty eventually be unable to escape the curse of a young ruler in power?
[Emperor Xiaoming Yuanxu ascended the throne at the age of six, the ninth emperor, and was later poisoned by his mother, Empress Dowager Hu. He reigned for thirteen years. This emperor was the father of Miss Yuan mentioned earlier;]

[The young emperor Yuan Zhao ascended the throne at the age of three and became the eleventh emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He reigned for more than a month before being drowned in the Yellow River by Erzhu Rong.]

Emperor Xiaowen: Zhu Rong? I've made a note of this! My grandson's wife must not marry a girl from the Hu family!
[Then came Northern Qi: The last emperor Gao Wei ascended the throne at the age of ten, the fifth emperor of Northern Qi, and reigned for twelve years. He was later captured by the Zhou army and executed; the young emperor Gao Heng ascended the throne at the age of eight, the last emperor of Northern Qi, was later captured by the Zhou army and executed after reigning for less than a month.]

Gao Yang of Northern Qi: Bastards, a bunch of bastards, I must kill all these traitors!
[After the Northern Qi, there was the Northern Zhou. Emperor Jing, Yuwen Chan, ascended the throne at the age of seven and reigned for two years. He was the last emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He abdicated to Yang Jian and was killed.]

Emperor Wen of Sui looked at the scroll in silence. Thinking of the chaos in the late Northern Zhou Dynasty and the suffering of his daughter Yang Lihua, he felt very complicated.

[Coincidentally, a few hundred years later during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was also a small country called Zhou, known in history as the Later Zhou. Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou, Chai Zongxun, ascended the throne at the age of seven, and abdicated to Zhao Kuangyin after one year in office, and then died of illness.]

Zhao Kuangyin: I did not kill Emperor Gong.

Zhao Kuangyi: There is no other way. If we don’t get rid of the roots, it will cause trouble in the future.

[Although hundreds of years apart, the endings of the two dynasties and the fates of the emperors are exactly the same. Otherwise, why do we say that history is always surprisingly similar? ]

Many emperors were obviously not very interested in these inventories of small countries, especially the Qing emperors who were already familiar with previous history.

【@全科学霸再活五百年: Grandma, didn’t you say you would also review the adult lives of Qin Shi Huang and Han Wudi? But are you going to include Easter eggs?】

After Kangxi posted this comment, the video immediately became quiet. Only the number of likes for this comment kept increasing, as if everyone was waiting for the answer from the master.

Of course, Kangxi was already familiar with the stories of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han. The reason he said this was because he wanted the Heavenly Scroll to appear for a little longer and wanted to know if Master A-po would reveal any more surprises.
But this time, for some reason, Apozhu ignored this comment.

Kangxi's heart sank to the bottom and he had a bad feeling.
It seems that the master doesn't want to release any easter eggs anymore.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard the voice of the Grandmother in the Heavenly Scroll again:

[Okay, everyone, this video ends here. This series of videos is about to end. Next, the upmaster will answer your questions for the last time. If you have anything else you want to ask, or want to tell the upmaster, please tell me! ]

As she finished her words, the message notifications started ringing one after another. She counted them and found that there were still ten messages, no more, no less.
It seems that in the end, her number of comments still failed to increase!

While thinking about it, she immediately clicked on the first message, which turned out to be from Zhu Houzhao.

[V@Super IQ, serious chuunibyou patient: Please send me the 500-year history of industrial development of China and the West, starting from this moment.]

A brief history of five hundred years of industrial development?
Lei Xiaomeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

From the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty to the present, it should be less than five hundred years.

But she understood what he meant, which was to send a brief history of industrial development from his time to the present.
Lei Xiaomeng thought about it. Although there was no detailed information, there was still a timetable. She could send him a copy.

[Reply to V@Super IQ Chunibyo Disease Severe Patient: Got it, will send it to Your Majesty right away. ]

After replying, Lei Xiaomeng immediately sent the information in the folder to Zhu Houzhao.

Seeing Lei Xiaomeng's reply, Zhu Houzhao immediately replied:
[Reply @我V@超智巧中二病严重患者Please send me the detailed drawings of my steam locomotive, as well as the application scope and application methods after the steam engine is successfully manufactured. ]

Of course, Lei Xiaomeng couldn't take care of these for the time being, and clicked on the second message:
【@All Science Masters Live Another 500 Years: I want to make a timeline of major events from the pacification of the Three Feudatories to the end of the Qing Dynasty. 】
