If you can’t find the second half of Jin Ling’s extra story, read it here.
"Wow, this diary is really special." Zhan Hongfu immediately realized its uniqueness: "Isn't this diary equivalent to the family diary of Emperor Xuanzong's family?"
"Yes, the host's summary is very accurate." Liu Qingfeng roughly flipped through a few pages of content and could clearly distinguish the different styles of the seven people.
Like Xuanzong, almost the entire book is about his daily love life with Empress Yao, for example, "The empress went to the city to comfort the victims, and the emperor followed her", "The empress received women from various countries, and the emperor waited for a long time", "The empress made clothes, and the emperor loved her very much", etc. In the book, you can also see traces of the emperor subconsciously using the self-proclaimed "朕" and then erasing it. It is hard not to suspect that he did it on purpose to add to the show.
Needless to say, Zhan Yu's is the most intense, and the one written in a fanatical tone throughout is simply amazing: "The queen was brave and courageous, and killed the traitor Ma Yuanwei in the Cining Palace", "The queen was known for her quick wit, and she left the important envoys speechless and made them submit to her", "The queen's love was boundless, and she took pity on the orphans and widows and established a relief center." Almost the entire article is praising Queen Yao from every angle, and by the way, bragging about the queen's achievements to future generations.
It can be seen from the two sons and one daughter born to Empress Yao that the eldest prince Li Ce should be young at that time, but much more mature than his younger siblings. What he recorded in the text are almost all his daily homework and the teachings of the emperor and empress.
But the two younger siblings were much more naughty. For example, the younger sister Li Qingluan's writings could almost be turned into another "Travels in the Tang Palace". From the Taiji Hall where the emperor handled government affairs to the dog holes in the palace walls, there was no place our eldest princess had not visited.
My younger brother, Li Jiang, uses this book as his gourmet check-in book, and he also opened a separate book called "Eating in the Tang Dynasty." It lists hundreds of cakes and various dishes.
[Wow, wow, wow, I'm so moved, tears are slowly flowing from the corners of my mouth.]
[So what are you feeling moved about? You're just greedy!]
[Poisoning, this is blatant poisoning, woooooo, I only opened the history section to lose weight, how could this be possible, how could this be possible!!!]
[Is there any food blogger who can recreate this recipe? I really want to try everything.]
[Hasn't anyone praised our little Qingluan? She's been so far up there, no wonder she's become the Tang Dynasty's foremost explorer.]
[Exploring your own dog hole, huh?]
How dare you reveal the secrets of our foremost explorer, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, AKA the invincible, brave, and resolute Li Sanniang! Drag them away!
[What a long title! This is the power of Dragon Tiger Orange Princess! Ah——(′д)!! My eyes! My eyes!]
[Don't watch Orange Princess, it's a bad review! ]
[Don't watch Dragon and Tiger Princess, the review is bad! ]
"Ahhh, that's enough, just keep talking and please don't mention our little princess's posthumous title!"
What? What posthumous title? Invincible in the universe… Brave and courageous… Resolute and resolute?
[Although I don't want to admit it, cough, yes, you know, it's actually okay, right? It's a bit explosive... right, cough cough.]
[You are too modest. This is a huge hit in the entire ancient Tang and Xia posthumous title world. It's absolutely a huge hit.]
[Although, posthumous titles... aren't they usually two characters, or just one?]
[Well, this is the title that Princess Wuli gave herself, and then the Emperor, who dotes on his daughter to no end, waved his hand and directly approved it.]
[Do you understand the value of our Tang Dynasty's number one explorer? (Tactical retreat) If you dare to disagree, just tell everyone about all the dog holes in Emperor Xuanzong's palace!]
【The whole family was very happy. 】
"It's really my Great Xia Tang. Everyone has vividly interpreted the concept that food is the most important thing for the people." Qian Yu smiled on his face but cried in his heart. He glanced at the previous comments and silently agreed in his heart.
Damn, why does Sister Zhan look so energetic? Isn't she tired? I really want to give up, woooooo...
"Then what Qian Hu recorded is more interesting."
Liu Qingfeng and Gao Xian looked at each other, and their expressions became strange.
"In fact, from Zhan Yu's description, it's clear that Empress Yao wasn't a virtuous queen in the typical sense. On the contrary, she was a warrior who dared to kill with her own hands." Gao Xian's face was filled with obvious admiration. "In fact, I believe everyone can understand the difference between the courage required to murder someone through scheming and to do it personally."
[I dare to try the former, and I dare to die the latter.]
[And Ma Yuanying seemed to be skilled in martial arts, but he was actually killed by Empress Yao with a single sword strike. Bullfrog, bullfrog.]
[Otherwise, I could become the greatest queen in history.]
"Yes, so Empress Yao was actually much more complicated than what is recorded in history books." Liu Qingfeng nodded. "That's understandable. History is inevitably distorted when it is recorded, and all the official information about Empress Yao that has been passed down today is basically the work of her admirers."
"Then why do we say Qian Hu is special?" Zhan Hongfu became even more curious. "Qian Hu should also be a follower of Queen Yao, right?"
"Indeed, Qian Hu is also a follower of Empress Yao. The difference is that what she admires is precisely Empress Yao's power to make clouds and rain with a flip of her hand, as well as her meticulous and strategic planning."
Gao Xian's face shared the same excitement as Zhan Hongfu's when she spoke of this: "In the past, everyone praised Empress Yao's virtues and showed her great and glorious side. But Qian Hu shows her other side in this book."
As she spoke, she turned the book to a page: "Later, she became Consort Zhao, praised by everyone, but the emperor favored her, which made Consort Xian jealous. Her mother brought secret medicine into the palace, and Consort Xian began to gain favor among the six harems."
[This is so exciting! Is this the secret medicine I was thinking about?]
[Eh~ The virtuous concubine is drunk, and the emperor is not so good either, eeee~]
[Damn, I just joined the super topic, and my CP collapsed]
"Ah? But Xuanzong was drugged, right? It's not entirely his fault, is it? "
[Shh, his legs are all over his body, and he didn't know how to run after being drugged? Could it be that the drug has hallucinogenic effects? Wouldn't the virtuous concubine have discovered that she drugged him long ago?]
"This paragraph can be considered a summary of the previous events," Gao Xian said, turning to the next page. "So, at that time, for Empress Yao, who was still Consort Zhao, the Emperor suddenly began to favor the usually disliked Consort Xian. How did she react?"
"History clearly describes this incident: The empress had no differences and often hoped that the virtuous concubine would make peace, but the virtuous concubine ignored her."
"And what Qian Hu recorded is this: The empress privately told her attendants: 'There must be a villain causing rebellion. This person wants to kill himself, but is afraid of hurting the emperor.' So she sent Zhan Yu to go at night, and he got the secret medicine. The empress smiled and said nothing."
"Three days later, the emperor fell ill. The empress said to his attendants, 'I will definitely kill them.'"
When the Empress became pregnant, Consort Xian sent her mother to find an alchemist to perform the art of warding off evil within the confines of the palace. The Empress, pleased with the situation, said, "If I wish to harm someone, I must go there myself. Asking the gods for help will not accomplish anything great."
"When the incident involving the virtuous concubine was exposed, the empress advised the emperor: 'The lives of these two are not worth cherishing, but I should pity General Wan's late life.'"
"The virtuous concubine, Sun Jiabi, and the alchemist were all unaware. Their failure came from their own thoughts, and when they began to think, they fell into the queen's trap. The queen privately taught me: human nature is inherently greedy."
What does it mean? I don't understand. Why should I be discriminated against for eating melons? Damn it!
[Calling the Wild Boss! Calling the Wild Boss! This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill!]
[After some reading, it seems that Empress Yao learned of Concubine Xian's drugging of the Emperor as soon as she did so. Then, presumably while she was pregnant, she arranged for Concubine Xian and her mother to contact an alchemist to perform a witchcraft operation, hoping to kill Empress Yao's child. In reality, this was all orchestrated by Empress Yao, and even the alchemist was unaware of the plot. Therefore, Qian Hu said that the only way to escape Empress Yao's schemes was to never harbor any evil thoughts towards her, but this was impossible due to human nature's inherent greed.]
[Wow~ Scheming Beauty, I love her even more]
[I love you more +1, who doesn’t like bad girls~]
"Besides this, we can see that the subsequent execution of Ma Yuanyi and his followers was actually influenced by Empress Yao. At that time, the emperor secretly contacted the royal family and military generals who were sympathetic to him, while Empress Yao had another plan."
Liu Qingfeng continued, "She would secretly poison Ma Yuanying. If the emperor's attempt to seize power failed, she would contact Yao Xiaowei, the adoptive father Ma Yuanying had found for her, and then join forces with Ma Yuanying's confidant Lin Fu to support her unborn child as emperor, and herself as the regent empress dowager."
"If the emperor succeeds, he will immediately execute Ma Yuanying and Lin Fu, just as in history, her adoptive father, Captain Yao, was credited with the rebellion and not only escaped the sinking ship of Ma Yuanying, but also became a loyal supporter of Empress Yao for decades to come."
"Moreover, the reason Empress Yao knew Ma Yuanyi's whereabouts was because she deliberately spared Consort Xian's life. She used the story of Empress Lü's child exchange to trick Ma Yuanyi into bringing Consort Xian back and pretending to be pregnant, intending to kill the mother and take the child."
Gao Xian exclaimed, "She practically manipulates human nature. The virtuous concubine who shared Ma Yuanyi's hatred for her enemy had actually already defected to Empress Yao, completely exposing his supposedly secret whereabouts to her."
"In the end, he was defeated and fled, but was led to the Cining Palace by Empress Yao and killed by her own hands."
Liu Qingfeng pointed to a passage and couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment. "Qian Hu has documented at least a hundred similar cases, from national events to mere servants. It's as if Empress Yao possesses the ability to read minds and predict the future. She's always at least ten steps ahead of everyone else. Many hostile forces didn't even notice Empress Yao's presence until their demise."
[My scalp... is a little numb...]
[Just from the quick glance I just took, there were several major historical events, which seemed to have been completely overwritten in official history.]
[Is all of this actually orchestrated by Queen Yao?]
[Look at me as I open the Grade 7 history book: virtuous and kind, self-discipline and rites...]
[Haha, haha, we still have the Temple of Queen Yao here, hahaha, saving the suffering and saving all living beings...]
[Ahhhhh! Why did you have to see my thesis, my graduate degree! Ahhhhhhhhh!!! I'm going to hang myself right now and travel back to ancient times to become the Fruity Orange Princess!!! I can't stay in this world for even a moment!!!]
[Furthermore, Qian Hu explicitly stated this here, and later ordered the massacre of tens of thousands of Japanese pirates. He also forced all the young and strong men in Japan to work on the Great Wall until every last one died of exhaustion. The remaining women and children were enslaved and kept in bondage for generations.]
[It seems... a little too cruel...]
Cruel, can you please put this into context? You dare to take the official program out of context? Didn't you see what the Japanese pirates did? They were the first to provoke, so what? So, the etiquette of a great nation is only for these thieves, right? Didn't you see how peaceful the coastal areas were for years after the killing of the chicken to scare the monkeys?
"Yes, Empress Yao of the Tang Dynasty was a mother who was kind and gentle to her people, but she was also a king with a heart of stone towards her enemies. She had a clear distinction between love and hate, which is why she could say, 'What the people rejoice in, I rejoice in, and what the people hate, I hate too.'"
Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief when she said this, and the audience also calmed down their excited hearts and confused brains. There was too much information in these two hours, and their little brains needed a good rest.
"Then why did Qian Hu say all these things?" Qian Yu suddenly asked, causing the originally calm barrage of comments to suddenly explode.
[Blind Yu, you gave birth to a brilliant idea! ]
【Huazi, you drew Blind Yu! 】
【Yuzi, you discovered the blind student! 】
[What the hell, can't you type without using memes?]
So why? Why did she say something that no one else said?
[Uh...she's more rebellious?]
[Ghost, will-o'-the-wisp swallow?]
"Ahem, there's a reason why Qian Hu, who had been hiding this matter, revealed the truth in this book." Liu Qingfeng couldn't help laughing at this. "It's written at the end of the book that the seven of them agreed not to read each other's writings, and after they were finished, they gave it to the most trustworthy company, Zhanyu, for binding."
"That's right, cough, this proposal was made by Qian Hu himself, but in fact, cough cough, it was also the result of Yao Hou's guidance." Gao Xian also coughed twice, obviously finding it funny.
"And we all know that Zhan Yu is very... well, very obedient to Queen Yao. So Queen Yao read all the content from the beginning."
"Ah? Didn't Queen Yao keep her promise to the seven of them?"
"Well, not really. She even commented on other people's comments about her." Gao Xian smiled and pointed to one of the sentences, "very beautiful appearance," under which there was a red comment: "very good taste."
"Furthermore, the emperor later used his power to pressure others into reading the book, including Crown Prince Li Ce, Prince Shou Li Jiang, and Princess Yuzhou Li Qingluan. They all used various methods to read the 'Emperor and Empress's Daily Records', which they had agreed not to read."
[Haha, a family of five with a bad guy, huh?! I get it, I completely get it! This family is not normal!]
[I just took a screenshot and realized that the part about killing the Japanese should be the emperor's comment. He seems to be saying that it was all the Japanese's fault for not knowing what was best for them, forcing his beloved wife to commit the sin of killing.]
[Well, there's his son behind him, praising his father for being right.]
[And the princess said she was too young to help her mother fight the enemy.]
[The adorable Prince Shou said that this caused his mother to eat one less candied lotus seed, hahahaha.]
[Shou Wang is the first eating broadcaster in the Tang Dynasty and his personality remains unchanged. ]
"Wow, following the two teachers today, I really learned a lot about the unknown sides of many historical figures we are familiar with." Zhan Hongfu sighed, "Although it is a pity, we have to say goodbye to everyone here."
"Yes, this program explores the rise and fall of the past and traces the history of the Xia and Tang dynasties. This program is exclusively sponsored by Sanniangye. Thank you Sanniangye for your strong support for this program."
"Thank you to Panda Cat, Baidu, Taobei... Pilipala for your strong support for this program. See you next time!"
