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

Zhu Dijun's figure faded from the light and returned to his somewhat cluttered office.

When that physical force descended upon the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the immense energy formed by the combined beliefs of countless heroic spirits still surged through his body, leaving him feeling neither tired nor invigorated.

He had originally planned to make himself a bowl of braised beef noodles as a treat, but at this moment, he just wanted to sit quietly and calm his turbulent emotions that had traveled through time.

"Ring ring ring—"

The red encrypted phone on the table suddenly started ringing sharply.

Zhu Dijun raised an eyebrow and answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone came the serious and steady voice of his superior, the highly respected Mr. Chen.

"Xiao Zhu, drop everything and come to me right now."

"There is an urgent mission."

Half an hour later, in Mr. Chen's office.

A top-secret document with gold foil stamping was presented to Zhu Dijun.

"Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, Tomb of Zhu Shuang, Prince of Qin".

Old Chen's voice was beyond question.

"Your superiors have ordered you to lead a team to immediately conduct a rescue excavation of the tomb of King Min of Qin, Zhu Shuang."

Zhu Dijun's pupils suddenly contracted.

Digging up Zhu Shuang's grave?

That was his ancestor Zhu Di's own second brother!

What kind of situation is this?

Before he could even process this information, the sky before him had already faithfully broadcast this scene live to the Eternal Time and Space!

[New Mission Issued: Imperial Order to conduct archaeological excavation of the tomb of Zhu Shuang, Prince Min of Qin during the Ming Dynasty!]

A line of large golden characters slowly appeared on the sky.

In an instant, the myriad worlds and timelines that were just immersed in the afterglow of the "Han and Tang Dynasties" erupted into chaos once again!

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

Zhu Yuanzhang was in high spirits, grabbing Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Prince Yan Zhu Di, and recounting the "dragon-slaying technique" that had just appeared on the sky with great enthusiasm.

"See that, Biao'er, fourth brother!"

"This ideology, this weapon—this is the very essence of us Han Chinese!"

"Our descendants will have the same style as us back then! No, they'll be even more ruthless!"

Zhu Di stood tall, his face beaming with pride.

Those are descendants of Zhu Di! Look how much face they bring to old Zhu's family!

However, the next second, when those golden characters appeared on the sky, the air in the entire Hongwu Hall froze.

Zhu Di's smile froze.

Zhu Biao's composure crumbled.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.

Dig... dig up the second son's grave?

King Zhu Shuang of Qin stood in the hall at this moment, looking smug.

Although the limelight was stolen by the descendants of the fourth son, they were still descendants of the Zhu family, and they were proud of them.

But when the words on the sky came into clear view of him, the smugness on his face instantly turned into astonishment, then disbelief, and finally into a raging fire!

"I!!!!!"

A deafening roar exploded from the throat of King Zhu Shuang of Qin!

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Judy Jun's face on the sky, his entire body trembling with rage.

"Zhu! Di!"

Zhu Shuang suddenly turned his head, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour someone, and stared fiercely at his younger brother, Prince Yan, Zhu Di, who looked completely bewildered beside him.

"What the hell did you give birth to?!"

"My grave! He dares to dig up my grave!"

Zhu Di was startled and instinctively took a step back, quickly waving his hand:

"Second brother, second brother, calm down! Those...those are future generations, they have nothing to do with me!"

"Is it okay?"

Zhu Shuang was so angry he was practically fuming, pointing at his own nose.

"Why doesn't he dig up your grave? Why doesn't he dig up my elder brother's grave? Why does he have to dig up my, Zhu Shuang's, grave!"

"Have you been disliking me for a long time?! Huh?!"

"I'll beat you to death, you inhuman bastard!"

Zhu Shuang went completely mad. His burly body erupted with astonishing power, and like an enraged bull, he charged towards Zhu Di with a roar.

"Second brother! Let's talk this out! Don't resort to violence!"

Zhu Di was startled and turned to run away.

Although he is good at fighting, his second brother's physique is such that if he really goes berserk, even a single blow would be bad enough.

"If I can't beat that little bastard, I can certainly beat you!"

"You stop right there!"

In an instant, the solemn and majestic Hongwu Hall was transformed into a chaotic arena.

Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, chased after him, while Prince Yan, Zhu Di, dodged. The two chased each other around the pillars of the main hall.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was sweating profusely with anxiety and couldn't hold him back.

"Stop them! Stop them right now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snapped out of his shock, slammed his fist on the dragon throne in anger, and roared at the guards outside the hall.

A group of guards rushed in and, with great effort, managed to restrain the enraged King of Qin.

"Let me go! I'm going to beat Lao Si to death today!" Zhu Shuang continued to struggle.

Zhu Di, hiding behind the dragon throne, poked his head out and cried out in grievance:

"Father! Look at my second brother! This is unreasonable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a terrible predicament. He pointed at the sky and then at his two sons, his beard trembling with anger.

"Shut up, all of you!"

"Disgraceful! You've completely disgraced the Zhu family!"

He was panting heavily, his gaze returning to the sky, his eyes filled with doubt and scrutiny.

He didn't understand either.

Why would such a promising descendant suddenly dig up his second son's grave?

Could it be... that something shameful is hidden in the second brother's grave?

Or is there something else going on?

At this moment, not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but all the emperors and nobles of countless worlds and timelines watched with great interest.

They were terrified when they saw that young man teaching people to rebel.

Now that he's going to dig up his own ancestors' graves, this is going to be hilarious!

In particular, Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong from the Mite-Clearing Era almost burst out laughing.

Karma! Serves him right!

You young man cursed us every day! Now it's your Zhu family's turn to have "domestic unrest"!

They all pulled up their little stools, ready to enjoy the annual spectacle of "descendants digging up ancestral graves, Emperor Hongwu furious."

At the same time, they were secretly alarmed and kept this matter in mind.

It seems that future imperial tombs will not only need to guard against tomb raiders, but also against official teams operating under the guise of "archaeology"! These defensive measures must be upgraded!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhu Dijun received the document in the sky.

He gave Old Chen a standard military salute.

"Mission accomplished!"

Inside the Hongwu Hall, Zhu Shuang, who was being held down by the guards, was so enraged by this scene that he almost fainted.

Finished!

That little bastard, he's serious!
