Sky Curtain: The opening scene explains the four major cases of the Ming Dynasty plus the early Ming

Judy Jun looked at the comments and the reactions of the emperors from different timelines, a smug smile spreading across his face.

"Family members, I feel your warmth and kindness!"

"Now that the Yongle Emperor has spoken, let's make the arrangements immediately!"

"Next up is the one we've all been waiting for—'Zhu Di as Fusu'!"

His fingers tapped on the keyboard again, and the image on the screen switched once more.

This time, the video title is even more sensational: [If Fusu were Zhu Di: He would have quelled the rebellion and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty!]

The video cover features the same young man dressed in the attire of a prince from the Qin Dynasty, but his eyes now possess a resolute and domineering air reminiscent of Zhu Di, as if he were capable of shouldering the weight of the entire world.

"Family members, this video was also made by a Bilibili UP (content creator)."

"He envisioned a scenario: if Fusu possessed Zhu Di's strategic brilliance and military talent, how would he have dealt with the Sand Dune Incident and the subsequent chaos throughout the land?"

"Now, let's witness together the wonderful performance of 'Zhu Di as Fusu'!"

As Zhu Dijun finished speaking, the video began to play.

In the scene, the First Emperor dies in Shaqiu, and Zhao Gao and Li Si forge an imperial edict to order the deaths of Fusu and Meng Tian.

However, after receiving the forged edict, the "Zhu Di version of Fusu" did not immediately commit suicide, but instead discussed it with Meng Tian.

Meng Tian tried to dissuade him: "My lord, this edict is full of suspicious points. His Majesty is away and has not yet established a crown prince. How can he so easily commit suicide?"

The eyes of the "Zhu Di version of Fusu" flashed with a cold light, and he sneered.

"General Meng is absolutely right."

"My father is a man of great talent and ambition; how could he be so hasty?"

"This is clearly a case of treacherous officials in power, deceiving the emperor!"

"They're ordering my death to force me to rebel!"

"Since that's the case, I'll grant their wish!"

The "Zhu Di version of Fusu" suddenly stood up, drew his long sword from his waist, and pointed it north.

"General Meng, how can I allow treacherous officials to wreak havoc on the empire my father fought so hard for?"

"We have received great favor from our father, the Emperor, and we should restore order, remove corrupt officials from the court, and quell the national crisis!"

"My return to Xianyang is not to seize the throne, but to save the country!"

"In accordance with the mandate of Heaven to quell the rebellion!"

As he spoke, a fierce fighting spirit burned in his eyes, like a lion that had been provoked.

Upon hearing this, Meng Tian was filled with excitement and immediately knelt down on one knee.

"This humble general is willing to follow you, my lord, to the death to quell the nation's crisis!"

Subsequently, "Zhu Di's version of Fusu" did not immediately send troops to Xianyang, but instead first conducted military reorganization and preparations in Shangjun.

He used Meng Tian's prestige to quickly integrate the northern border troops, while also recruiting heroes from all over the country to expand the army.

He knew all too well that Xianyang City was home to treacherous officials like Zhao Gao and Li Si, and even more so to the fool Hu Hai.

A hasty attack would only plunge the world into chaos and cause immense suffering.

What he needs to do is to act with a legitimate reason and a just cause!

He issued a proclamation to the world, listing the crimes of Zhao Gao and Li Si, denouncing Hu Hai's incompetence and tyranny, and raising the banner of "cleansing the emperor's inner circle and pacifying the country."

The declaration caused an uproar throughout the land.

The former nobles of the six states and powerful local figures who were originally dissatisfied with Qin Er Shi (Hu Hai) responded one after another.

In an instant, war broke out across the land, and the Qin Empire was plunged into internal strife.

However, the "Zhu Di version of Fusu" did not rush to quell the rebellion.

He took advantage of the chaos to continuously strengthen his power, while observing the global situation and looking for the best opportunity to strike.

He attacked the Xiongnu in the north, stabilized the border, and eliminated any worries about the rear.

He led expeditions south to conquer the Baiyue region, expanding the territory and strengthening the nation.

He built roads, dredged waterways, developed the economy, and won over the hearts of the people.

He even began sending alchemists out to sea to search for immortal mountains, ostensibly to seek elixirs of immortality for the First Emperor, but in reality, he was secretly developing the navy in preparation for conquering the world in the future.

Four years later.

When the world was in chaos and warlords were vying for power, the power of "Zhu Di's version of Fusu" was already unprecedented.

Based in the north, his military forces were invincible wherever they went.

He first led his troops south, conquering cities and territories along the way and defeating various rebel armies.

He adopted a strategy of "combining suppression and appeasement," ruthlessly suppressing those who resisted and treating those who surrendered with preferential treatment to win over the hearts of the people.

He even personally took command, leading by example, which won him the love and respect of his soldiers.

Ultimately, the army of "Zhu Di's version of Fusu" arrived at the gates of Xianyang.

At this time, Xianyang City had already been plunged into misery by Huhai and Zhao Gao, with starving people everywhere.

The morale of the soldiers defending the city was low, and they were completely unable to resist.

With a single command from "Zhu Di's version of Fusu," the army stormed into Xianyang.

Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were captured.

Instead of immediately executing them, the "Zhu Di version of Fusu" imprisoned them and made them watch as he "rebuilt the Qin Dynasty".

Subsequently, "Zhu Di's version of Fusu" ascended the throne and became emperor.

He did not call himself "Qin Er Shi" (the Second Emperor of Qin), but posthumously honored the First Emperor as "Tai Zu" (Emperor Taizu) and called himself "Qin Tai Zong" (Emperor Taizong of Qin).

He worked diligently to improve the lives of the people, reduced taxes, and developed agriculture and sericulture.

He revised the laws, rectified official conduct, and cracked down on corruption.

He dispatched envoys to recruit talented individuals from all directions.

Under his rule, the Qin Empire was revitalized, its national strength increased day by day, and the "Fusu Prosperity" was created.

The video freezes on the imposing figure of "Zhu Di version of Fusu" dressed in imperial robes, overlooking the vast land, and the three golden characters "Qin Taizong".

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng stared in disbelief at the video on the screen.

He never imagined that his Great Qin Empire would have such a glorious future!

"Emperor Taizong!"

"The prosperous age of Fusu!"

He was so excited that he trembled all over, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He looked at Fusu, his eyes filled with ecstasy and pride.

"Fusu!"

"Excellent! What a brilliant 'Suppressing the Rebellion in Response to Heaven'!"

"What a magnificent 'Rebuilding the Qin Dynasty'!"

"This is my son! This is my heir!"

He suddenly stood up, strode over to Fusu, and helped him up.

"Fusu, did you see that?!"

"This is the way of an emperor!"

"This is the path you should be on!"

Fusu knelt on the ground, his body trembling.

He saw it.

He saw a "self" that was completely different from the "Li Shimin version".

This "self" is no longer simply decisive and ruthless, but possesses a deeper strategy, a broader mind, and a more tenacious perseverance.

He not only seized the throne, but also "rebuilt" the entire empire!

He felt his father's unprecedented recognition and pride, which ignited a raging fire in his heart.

He knew that the direction he needed to work towards was now clearly visible.

The princes and princesses were now completely captivated by the domineering presence of "Zhu Di's version of Fusu".

The look in their eyes when they looked at Fusu was no longer one of schadenfreude, but rather one filled with awe and a hint of fear.

If Fusu could really do all of this...

Then he is truly destined by Heaven!

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin looked at the video on the screen with a complex expression.

He admitted that the strategies and tactics of "Zhu Di's version of Fusu" were indeed extraordinary.

First, prepare the army for war, then issue proclamations widely, thus giving the army a legitimate reason to fight.

They took advantage of the chaos to strengthen themselves.

They attacked the Xiongnu in the north, conquered the Baiyue in the south, developed the economy, and won over the hearts of the people.

Each step was taken with steadiness and precision, exuding an aura of imperial power.

"This 'Fusu' certainly has the bearing of a great ruler."

He looked at Changsun Wuji, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

"This Zhu Di is not without reason."

"If he had been born in my time, he would probably have been a formidable enemy as well."

Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Such methods are not something an ordinary person could accomplish."

The Ming Dynasty, the eleventh year of the Hongwu reign.

Zhu Yuanzhang was initially shocked when he saw the performance of "Zhu Di as Fusu" on the screen, but then an unprecedented smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, his beard standing on end with excitement.

"That's our good Shiro!"

"This is our seed!"

"This is a true emperor!"

He looked at Zhu Di, his eyes filled with love and pride.

"Fourth brother, did you see that?!"

"That's what you should be doing!"

"This is the real 'Jingnan Campaign'!"

"Look at yourself! Tampering with the imperial edict? Turning the coffin lid upside down? That's utter nonsense!"

"If you could be like this 'Fusu,' with a legitimate cause and a justifiable reason, why would we be so angry?"

Looking at the spirited "himself" on the sky, Zhu Di felt extremely excited, yet also somewhat aggrieved.

"Father, I was forced by circumstances!"

"And didn't I manage to do it later?!"

"The Yongle era was no less prosperous than the 'Fusu era'!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The Forbidden City in the fifteenth year of the Yongle reign.

Zhu Di looked at the video on the screen, first in shock, then his eyes filled with ecstasy and pride.

"Excellent! What a brilliant 'Suppressing the Rebellion in Response to Heaven'!"

"What a magnificent 'Rebuilding the Qin Dynasty'!"

"This is the true Emperor!"

"This is truly my great talent and strategy!"

He suddenly stood up and burst into laughter.

"This unfilial son, Zhu Dijun, has at least done one decent thing!"

"He has finally shown the world how aboveboard and honorable my campaign against the Jin dynasty truly was!"

"How great are my achievements!"

He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with smugness.

"This 'Prosperous Era of Fusu' is remarkably similar to my 'Prosperous Era of Yongle'!"

"This is my proper temple name! Taizong! Emperor Taizong of Qin!"

"Emperor Chengzu? What kind of bastard is that!"

Zhu Di became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see himself being revered by later generations as "Emperor Taizong of Qin".

He even felt that this portrayal of "Zhu Di as Fusu" was more perfect and more legitimate than his actual Jingnan Campaign!

He made up his mind; from now on, he would follow this "script"!

No, he's already finished acting.

He wanted future generations to record his achievements according to this "script"!

As Zhu Dijun observed the reactions of the emperors from different time periods, especially Zhu Di's excited expression, a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Family members, did you see that?"

"That's the power of 'information asymmetry'!"

"A 'Li Shimin version of Fusu' showed the First Emperor the ruthless nature of imperial cunning!"

"A 'Zhu Di version of Fusu' showed the First Emperor the profound depths of imperial power struggles!"

"And our young master Fusu must have learned quite a bit of useful knowledge by now!"

"And this content creator added a cruel twist to the 'Zhu Di version of Fusu': more than 100 years later, there was a Qin Emperor Shizong, Ying Houcong, who moved from a minor branch of the family to the main branch, and directly changed the Qin Taizong in the 'Zhu Di version of Fusu' to Qin Chengzu."

The scene is a sequel made by the content creator. This time, Zhu Di of the Hongwu and Yongle eras turned green with anger and cursed Zhu Dijun as an unfilial descendant. Zhu Gaosui, the arrogant ruler of the Yongle era, was even beaten by the furious Zhu Di.

Ying Zheng was equally green-faced. He never expected that a "Ying Houcong" would emerge in later generations, directly turning "Zhu Di's version of Fusu" into "Qin Chengzu". So who was Qin Shi Huang?

Died after only two generations?

Suddenly, Ying Zheng understood how Zhu Yuanzhang felt knowing that his fourth son addressed him as Emperor Chengzu.

"This unfilial descendant dares to act so recklessly. If I find out who made this, I'll personally give him a good beating."

Zhu Dijun then used the power of the system to look at the Qin Dynasty time-space dimension through the celestial canopy.

"Young Master Fusu, have you failed your studies?"

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

Fusu suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with determination.

"Report back to the heavens!"

"Fusu, I've learned something!"

"Fusu will never again be that stubborn 'fool'!"

He knelt before Ying Zheng and kowtowed heavily.

"Father, I understand!"

"Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations on the trip to Sanchuan County!"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"good!"

"My efforts to show you this 'celestial canopy' have not been in vain!"

He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't immediately executed Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

Otherwise, how could Fusu have seen such a wonderful "tutorial"?

He looked at Hu Hai and Zhao Gao again, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Hu Hai, Zhao Gao."

"Did you all see that?"

"This is what will happen to you!"

Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were terrified and desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Ying Zheng ignored them.

Judy Jun looked at all of this and nodded in satisfaction.

"Family members, that concludes today's 'Lesson on Emperors'."

"Next, we'll begin our review of the second of the 'Four Tragic Princes' of feudal dynasties!"

"Stay tuned!"
