Huo Yushen didn't say anything, but just operated a few times on his quantum optical computer watch carrier.
The black curtain wall opposite them turned white, and a shining North Star appeared above the curtain wall. It was a projection from Huo Yushen's quantum optical computer watch.
After the four black curtains were lowered, the entire living room was dark.
But because of this North Star, it became bright again.
Quan Yuxun then said, "First time seeing you, do you think that in the 10,000-year history of the Beichen Empire, no one has ever thought of killing the emperor?"
Xia Chujian: “…”
She knew that things might not be as she had just guessed, so she immediately said, "At least it's never mentioned in history books."
"I've been surfing the Star Network and have never seen it before."
Quan Yuxun looked at Huo Yushen.
Huo Yushen started playing a video.
Quan Yuxun said, "History books are only released to students after being inspected by the Dantai Imperial Court. Of course, they won't tell you that someone once attempted to assassinate the emperor and actually carried it out."
"On the Starnet, there are mechanical intelligences with a central control system. Even in online novels on the Starnet, such content is prohibited."
"Because such thoughts and words are completely forbidden."
"You can't even think about it. It's a sin to think about it."
Xia Chujian: “…”
So, should she be thankful that she had kept these thoughts deep in her heart and never posted them online to vent?
Because according to Quan Yuxun, once it is posted online, it will attract the attention of the omnipotent mechanical intelligence of the central control system and be labeled as an "unstable element", and no one knows what kind of difficulties they will encounter.
Her eyes were fixed on the white screen in front of her, watching the video in a trance.
Quan Yuxun's voice was like the narration of the video, explaining the content of the videos to her.
"In the 10,000-year history of the Beichen Empire, there have been a total of 12,344 assassination attempts on the emperor."
"Note: It's the assassination of the emperor. Assassinating members of the royal family is not included."
"Of these, 12,000 assassinations occurred during the reign of the founding emperor, Tan Tai Lin."
"There were no surveillance videos at the time, only written records stored in the royal family's most confidential database."
"There are also three hundred assassinations that occurred in the last thousand years, especially since the establishment of the constitutional monarchy."
"The last forty-four cases all occurred during the reign of our current emperor, Tan Tai Hong Yuan."
Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "So, from the death of the first emperor, Tan Tai Lin, to the establishment of constitutional monarchy a thousand years ago, in those nearly nine thousand years, there weren't any assassination attempts on the emperor?"
"Why am I so unconvinced?"
Quan Yuxun said, "It has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not."
"In fact, this shows the difficulty of assassinating the emperor."
"There may have been many assassination attempts, but they were killed by outsiders before they even reached the emperor. This doesn't count as an assassination attempt on the emperor."
Xia Chujian nodded thoughtfully, "So, after so many assassination attempts on Tan Tai Lin, is it because he improved the royal family's security measures that subsequent assassinations were thwarted before they even reached them?"
"And the increase in assassinations a thousand years ago was because constitutional monarchy fragmented imperial power, leading to its decline? Were the security measures that Tan Tai Lin prepared for his successor inadequate?"
Quan Yuxun remained noncommittal and continued, "This video records the assassination of emperors that began after the establishment of constitutional monarchy a thousand years ago."
"At that time, surveillance technology had greatly developed, and any assassination could be captured by the surveillance cameras at the time."
Then, Xia Chujian saw again and again that ambitious people continued to work hard for the great goal of "assassinating the emperor."
At the beginning, the technique was very rough.
It seemed that one of the emperor's royal guards suddenly attacked.
When the emperor was passing by a palace, he suddenly jumped up and a weapon resembling a sniper appeared in his hand.
However, even though his finger was on the trigger, when the emperor turned around and looked over, the royal guard immediately fell heavily from mid-air, like a big bird hit by a hunting rifle, and hit the ground.
The people around him rushed forward, and there was a chorus of gunfire, killing him in front of the emperor.
Then came the second time. I don’t know how many years had passed, but the emperor in power had been replaced.
This time, the assassin seemed to be more prepared.
The assassin this time should have been an eunuch of the emperor at that time, and an eunuch in the imperial study.
Because when he was presenting a memorial to the emperor, he suddenly drew the knife in his hand!
But before he could hand over his knife, the emperor just looked up at him, and his knife fell to the ground with a bang.
Of course, this unfortunate assassin was immediately pounced on and strangled to death by another eunuch...
And the third time, the fourth time...
Each time, the assassin would be further and further away from the emperor.
They are no longer the emperor's internal guards, eunuchs, or palace staff.
Instead, they came from cabinet officials, military generals, and senators outside, followed by ordinary government officials and military officers from the major habitable planets below.
Later on, they were just employees of ordinary companies, or even homeless people.
Without exception, all these people failed and were killed on the spot.
But only in the last assassination, the assassin escaped quickly.
