Pu Li said helplessly, "I'll wait until I finish the ten options that were voted on, and then I'll decide whether to continue. It's also possible that I don't have that many stories to tell you."
Just thinking about these ten stories, he felt like he was going bald. If he continued, he would be too embarrassed to face anyone.
"Okay, today's live broadcast ends here. Good night everyone, bye!"
Pu Li has been broadcasting live on time every day recently. Tonight, the animation has reached the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
After this, the plot of the anime started to change.
Pu Li knew little about the history before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Although he had systematic help, he did not take the time to learn it himself, so he could not know all this knowledge all of a sudden, so his work was not as detailed.
After telling them about the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Pu Li did not forget to tell them a story from that period.
"After watching the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty in the anime, are you feeling sad? Don't be too quick to sigh. Next, I will tell you a story about the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty that is widely circulated among the people."
"This story, called 'The Beacon Fires to Trick the Princes,' begins with the ascension of King You of Zhou. At that time, the Zhou state was plagued by internal and external troubles: natural disasters within and powerful enemies abroad. After ascending to the throne, King You of Zhou ignored state affairs and instead amassed wealth, oppressed the people, and promoted corrupt officials.
At that time, there was a minister named Bao Si who tried to persuade King You of Zhou, but King You refused to listen and instead imprisoned him. When Bao's family learned of this, they tried every possible way to rescue him, but ultimately failed. Finally, they heard that King You of Zhou was fond of women, so they searched the country for a beautiful woman. They found one, renamed her Bao Si, and brought her into the palace.
Bao Si was very beautiful, but she never smiled and always had a sullen expression. King You of Zhou was very fond of her looks and tried every possible way to make her smile. However, despite all his attempts, Bao Si was unsatisfied. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty had an alarm system called beacon towers.
At regular intervals, there was a beacon tower. If a crisis occurred in the capital, the princes would bring their troops to rescue the Zhou emperor. During one of the beacon towers, King You of Zhou saw Bao Si smile. This delighted him greatly, and he thought that the beacon towers had made his concubine smile, so he used the beacon fire as a way to amuse her.
That's a life-saving system, but King You of Zhou didn't care and used it to pick up girls.
Every time the princes came over, they looked confused. Bao Si smiled happily at them, which made King You of Zhou very intoxicated. He even kicked out the queen and the prince to show his favor. This kicking caused a big problem. The queen's family came to trouble him with people. When King You of Zhou lit the beacon fire again, no one came to save him. Everyone knows the ending.
[This is the ancient version of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."]
[He deserved it. He played tricks on people just to make a beautiful woman laugh. If he doesn't die, who else will?]
[I feel like Bao Si did this on purpose, just to kill King You of Zhou.]
[No wonder it's a legend. The plot feels so fake.]
[I feel like it's not as outrageous as the real drama. It's a little emotional to talk about it. I still remember two days ago, I heard Li Zi talk about why the Shang Dynasty was destroyed. Now it's the Zhou Dynasty's turn to end.]
[History is constantly repeating itself, and only then can it find the most suitable direction.]
[In that period, survival depended entirely on imperial power. If the ruler was incompetent, the people would suffer and would naturally want to bring him down.]
