Chapter 221 Live Broadcast from the Sky (Part 1)

In Xianyang Palace, Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, looked at the rough yellow paper presented to him by his servants and nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed a reward from the heavens. Even on his first attempt, he had produced such paper.

The only regret was that he only drew the papermaking technique. It seems he still needs to "spend more money" in the future. That's how it is. Thinking of the strange and interesting words spoken by later generations in the sky, Ying Zheng couldn't help but relax.

"Your Majesty, the curtain of heaven has reappeared!"

A month later, upon hearing the news from the celestial screen again, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He strode out of the main hall and, together with the ministers who had rushed over, stared at the enormous screen that had been displayed in the sky.

At the same time, in different times and spaces, emperors and subjects from various dynasties, including Emperor Gaozu of Han (Liu Bang), Emperor Wu of Han (Liu Che), Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin), Empress Wu Zetian of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Renzong of Song (Zhao Zhen), Emperor Shizong of Qing (Aisin Gioro Fulin), and Emperor Shengzong of Qing (Aisin Gioro Xuanye), all looked up at the sky that had reappeared.

Hello everyone! Long time no see! Have you missed Little Cloud Mist?

A young girl dressed in a modified cheongsam appeared on the screen, her eyes crinkling as she waved to the camera.

[I wasn't updating because of the fog; I was just looking for material for everyone. Looking at my outfit, can you guess which dynasty and emperor I'm going to talk about today?]

"The Qing Dynasty".

Seeing that the number of people still online in real time was still in the millions, Yunwu breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she hadn't lost any followers. Noticing the two words typed in the comments, Yunwu flashed a bright smile, lifted the hem of her skirt, and twirled in front of the camera.

[That's right, this "Emperor Kangxi" was the first to answer correctly, it was the Qing Dynasty. Haha, I've noticed everyone's really into it, even giving themselves historical figures' names during history live streams. And what a coincidence, the person we're going to talk about today is inextricably linked to Emperor Kangxi.]

Upon hearing this, the princes and ministers who were looking at the sky in the square outside the Qianqing Palace couldn't help but look at Emperor Kangxi sitting above.

Kangxi raised an eyebrow. Was it related to him, his father or his son? His gaze swept over the princes below him, and Kangxi instructed in a deep voice, "No matter who it is, since this time it is about the Qing Dynasty, the final reward must be obtained for me."

"yes."

The ministers below responded in unison; the celestial canopy had appeared three times already. Aside from the initial chaos, everyone had been able to handle the situation calmly afterward, and they had also vaguely guessed from some of the code names that perhaps people from other dynasties were watching.

Each of them has the right to send bullet comments and give rewards, and after each broadcast ends, a lottery pool will appear. If you give a certain amount of rewards, you can participate in the lottery.

The first time, a person with the title "Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che" drew "Iron Smelting Technique"; the second time, "General of Heavenly Strategy" drew "Military Governance Strategies"; and the last time, a person with the title "Qin Shi Huang" drew "Papermaking Technique".

Having guessed where these prizes, which sounded like valuable items, were going, the Qing Dynasty had already prepared a great deal of gold and silver jewels before the opening of the celestial curtain, all in anticipation of winning the prizes. Although it wasn't stated that the more you tipped, the greater your chances of winning, the more you invested was always better than nothing.

[Recently, the Royal Museum exhibited a white jade thumb ring unearthed from the tomb of Emperor Chengtai ten years ago. Do you remember this "royal treasure"?]

"It wasn't easy, they're finally released."

"I went to see it too, it was packed with people."

"Haha, who wouldn't be curious?"

"It seems neither the royal family nor the Academy of Sciences has figured it out, otherwise they wouldn't have put it on display."

"Of course, that's a capability that science can't explain; how could it possibly be researched?"

...

People from different times and spaces looked up at the rapidly scrolling comments on the screen, lost in thought.

"Imperial treasure?" Qin Shi Huang pondered. Ever since Tianmu brought up his life story in the first episode, he knew that his pursuit of immortality was all a lie. Not only him, but Tianmu also said that the claims of immortals in the Han and Tang dynasties were false. So what was this strange "treasure"?

I went to see this treasure specifically. It looks ordinary, but who would have thought it would have such a magical recording function? After hundreds of years, it still allows us to see the images of Emperor Chengtai before his death.

By now, everyone probably knows who I'm going to talk about today. That's right, after "Dragon, Phoenix, and Pig," I'm going to talk about Emperor Chengtai's father—Emperor Kangxi's fourth son, Emperor Yongzheng!

"..." Suddenly receiving attention from all directions, Yinzhen froze and knelt down before Kangxi with a thud: "Father..."

"It's alright, let's hear what Tianmu has to say?"

Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen with surprise, then at the tall and elegant Baocheng, but ultimately said nothing more.

During this period, the relationship between Yinreng and Kangxi had already begun to crack. However, Yinreng, who had not yet experienced the process of being deposed and installed as emperor, merely glanced coldly at Yinzhen. In reality, he was not too surprised that he did not ascend the throne in the end.

At Weiyang Palace, Liu Che, whose image was once again represented by a "pig" in the sky, was speechless.

I haven't offended any of you. If you want to talk about others, then talk about them. Why bring me up?

[In fact, when discussing Emperor Yongzheng, it's hard not to mention Emperor Chengtai, this "daddy's boy." After all, Emperor Chengtai's remarkable deeds are known worldwide. To ensure that future generations would remember their father-son relationship, he used a "precious treasure" passed down to him by Emperor Yongzheng. To be honest, there are still archaeological videos from ten years ago online, and I can't help but tear up every time I watch them. I wonder if any of you have seen them?]

"I watched it during the live stream, and I cried so much."

Emperor Chengtai, a "daddy's boy" acknowledged by history.

"Who could forget Honghui's diary?"

"Back then, who wouldn't want to go back in time and be Emperor Yongzheng's child?"

...

Haha, Emperor Chengtai can't shake off the title of "daddy's boy," he even put it on himself. Speaking of which, it was his "daddy's boy" behavior that shocked us later generations and added a touch of mysticism to Emperor Yongzheng.

To this day, we still haven't discovered how Emperor Yongzheng obtained this white jade thumb ring, what favor the jade ring was repaying by protecting Emperor Chengtai, or whether the "Yongzheng-Chengtai Prosperity" was aided by any magical means. These are questions many people are curious about. Today, Yunwu will guide you through breaking it down step by step.

When Tianmu mentioned the white jade thumb ring again, the crowd in front of Qianqing Palace couldn't help but look at Yinzhen's hand, and there really was a white jade thumb ring.

"..." Yinzhen was speechless with frustration. He knew nothing about it. It was all a coincidence, a coincidence that he was wearing a white jade thumb ring today. But it was just an ordinary thumb ring, with no special function.

"Father, this thumb ring of mine was made by the Imperial Household Department, it's no different from any other ring."

Helpless, Yinzhen had no choice but to take off his thumb ring and have someone present it to Kangxi in order to prove his innocence.

Kangxi took it and examined it. It was indeed an ordinary thumb ring made by the Imperial Household Department, with nothing unusual about it.

"Could it be some kind of extraordinary encounter after the fourth brother's death? Or was it not originally a thumb ring, but simply transformed into one later?"

Having read many tales of the strange and supernatural, Yin Zhi said this subconsciously, and the others nodded thoughtfully. It was possible, indeed it was possible.

One by one, they couldn't help but look at Yinzhen with envy. In the first three episodes, Tianmu debunked the "immortal theory," so who would have thought that the Fourth Prince would have such a wonderful encounter?

Yinzhen was somewhat apprehensive, but also somewhat expectant.

But none of the many people present, including Yinzhen, considered the possibility that the Yongzheng Emperor Tianmu mentioned was not Yinzhen.
