Soon, Liu Ji and others were brought before Ying Zheng.
Liu Ji looked at Ying Zheng who was sitting on the throne and couldn't help but complain in his heart: I didn't expect that such a cold-hearted Emperor Qin Shi Huang would also have a gossipy heart.
but……
I have to say, this Emperor Qin Shi Huang was really handsome.
His gaze was so intense that Ying Zheng couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. "Why, do you have a problem with me?"
"I wouldn't dare, Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Whatever you do is my right, my right." Liu Ji smiled apologetically, looking servile.
Wang Jian and others stared at him expressionlessly.
How on earth could such a person replace the Qin Dynasty and rule the world? I don't understand.
Ying Zheng didn't understand it either, but he had to admit that he should learn from Liu Ji's free and easy attitude.
"In 54 BC, Wang Qiang, also known as Wang Zhaojun, was born into a commoner's family in Zigui County, Nanjun, Western Han Dynasty. Since her father had a daughter in his old age, the family doted on Wang Zhaojun. Not only was Wang Zhaojun beautiful from a young age, she was also intelligent, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her reputation spread far and wide. It can be said that she was very proud. If she were in our own family, she would definitely be someone else's child."
Zhou Jia sighed a little, it was true that comparison would make one depressed. Some children were smart from childhood and learned things quickly, while others learned very slowly. When she was a child, she was often compared with other children by her parents. She never wanted to hear that kind of comparison again in her life.
"Later, the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty selected beautiful women from all over the country. Our sister Zhaojun was among them, and she was chosen as the head of Nanjun.
In 38 BC, Zhaojun entered the palace. The emperor at that time, Emperor Yuan of Han, Liu Shi, had a peculiar hobby. Instead of directly checking whether the selected beauties were beautiful, he would first ask the palace painters to paint portraits of those women. He would favor the beautiful ones and ignore the ugly ones.
That's quite a trick. As long as the concubines were willing to spend money, they could bribe the painters to paint them beautifully, and then they would have a chance to see the emperor and be favored. But Wang Zhaojun was a special case, so the story of Wang Zhaojun and the court painter Mao Yanshou was born. However, it should be noted that this story is from unofficial history, not official history, so just listen to it."
Choosing a concubine by looking at the portrait is quite fun.
Ying Zheng shook his head.
It’s such a waste of time. It’s better to go and take a look yourself. You can use the time saved to continue dealing with government affairs.
When Liu Ji heard this, he could guess what was going on without Zhou Jia even having to continue talking, and he felt very depressed.
In that time and space, he passed the throne to them so that they could protect the country well, not so that they could sit on the throne and eat, drink and have fun all day! How many generations of his descendants is this person named Liu Shi?
After all, Liu Ji was in front of Ying Zheng, so his temper was much more restrained.
Liu Bang, who had become the emperor in another dimension, was different. He and the following emperors started cursing without even waiting for Zhou Jia to continue.
Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang: [Damn it! Whose son is this Liu Shi? How did he become emperor? Liu Shi, get out of here!]
Liu Heng, Liu Qi, and Liu Che who were following behind him started cursing.
Ying Zheng looked at the messy comments on the screen. Although he knew that it was not good for him to look like he was just watching a good show, he did feel a strange sense of balance in his heart, and it was a bit refreshing.
Sure enough, everyone has some troublesome offspring.
The one who is most upset now is Liu Shi's father, the Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun, who is often mentioned in short videos and has deep feelings for his old sword. Liu Shi, who is still the crown prince, is kneeling in front of him. Liu Shi had just been canonized as the crown prince by Liu Xun not long ago.
Liu Xun looked at his son below and suddenly felt a little tired. Liu Shi was the only child of him and his beloved wife Xu Pingjun. Since the death of Xu Pingjun, he had been working hard to govern the country and wanted to eradicate the Huo family every day. Now that Huo Guang was dead and the Huo family was no longer a threat, he finally avenged his beloved wife.
As for Liu Shi, they had different political views. It was not that he could not depose him and enthrone someone else, but he was always thinking about his beloved wife who had passed away, and he also felt a little guilty towards Liu Shi. Although he had not heard about what happened to Liu Shi later, just by hearing the story of choosing concubines based on portraits, he could guess that he was probably not a very good emperor.
Liu Shi trembled as he prostrated himself on the ground. Liu Xun stared at him for a long moment, then closed his eyes and sighed silently, his gaze stern. "If I knew that the Han Dynasty had perished at your hands, your reign as Crown Prince would be over!"
He is not only Xu Pingjun's husband, nor is he the Liu Bingyi who had nothing back then. He is Liu Xun, the emperor, and he is also responsible for the people of the Han Dynasty!
In the time and space when Queen Xu Pingjun was still alive, she immediately went to find Liu Xun after hearing the name of her son Liu Shi.
"Pingjun." Liu Xun smiled when he saw her, but then he saw Xu Pingjun kneeling down, "Pingjun you..."
He reached out to help her up, but Xu Pingjun didn't move. She said seriously, "Your Majesty, if Liu Shi is unfit to be king, please depose him as a commoner. I don't ask for a life of wealth and glory for him, I just want him to live in peace."
Liu Xun sighed, bent down and helped her up, "Don't worry, although Huo Guang is still here, I will protect you and our son."
If I cannot be a king, then I will just be a leisurely prince and live a free life.
This was the biggest concession Liu Xun made.
Zhou Jia heard the message from the system and said, "How pitiful are the hearts of parents in the world, Liu Shi. Your mother, for your sake, has now run to your father and told him that if you can't become a monarch, she will let you live the rest of your life as an ordinary person. You truly are a son whose status depends on his mother."
For Zhou Jia, family and friendship touch her more than love.
