The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 759: The blood drop! The sticky place! The martial arts villain boss! Emperor Yongzheng is confused!
——"It's so funny, the ancient painter said: Your Majesty, this time the painting looks especially like a dragon! Zhu Yuanzhang: ...something seems wrong."

——"So what did he look like? Has there been any archaeological reconstruction?"

——"Now I understand why the portraits of emperors in history textbooks all look different!"

——"I suddenly feel cheated. Is the Zhu Yuanzhang we saw all those years real or fake?"

……

Ming Dynasty plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scenes on the sky, his brows furrowed more and more.

How dare these children of later generations make up stories about the emperor in this way?
He subconsciously stroked his face, thinking that he was clearly a dignified person, so why did he look so weird?

Are those painters blind?
Think about it from a tricky angle.

This is not a bad thing.

Being remembered in this way by later generations at least shows that he, the founding emperor, has not been forgotten.

After all, these common people are still quite interested in their founding emperor.

Thinking of his experiences when he was wandering among the people, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved.

How many people looked down on me, a beggar born from a monk's family?
But in the end, wasn't it his own ability that helped him build this vast empire?

Now that you have achieved success and fame, why should you care about these things after your death?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang became interested when he heard that there was an emperor who was even more miserable than himself. Could it be Yang Guang?

That was the king of a fallen country whom he despised the most!

……

Han Dynasty plane.

Liu Che was also wondering which unlucky emperor would be most criticized by future generations.

After thinking about it, he thought of someone.

Emperor Qin Shihuang!
The Grand Historian once said that Qin Shi Huang was not the son of Zichu at all, but the son of Lu Buwei!
If this story is false, then Qin Shihuang would have been badly slandered.

Who would want to be labeled as an illegitimate child for the rest of his life?

When Sima Qian was mentioned, Liu Che felt a little uncomfortable.

Sima Qian seemed to have always had some complaints about Qin Shihuang.

They said he was tyrannical and unjust, and that he burned books and buried scholars alive.

The first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, was described as an unforgivable tyrant.

and many more!

Liu Che sat up straight suddenly.

I castrated Sima Qian a few years ago. I wonder if this guy holds a grudge against me?
He is currently writing the "Records of the Grand Historian". Would he also write himself as badly as Qin Shi Huang?!

The more I think about it, the more it seems possible!

Fighting against the Huns, expanding territory, and establishing salt and iron monopolies, which one of these was not for the sake of the Han Dynasty?
But if it were written by Sima Qian, who knows how it would be arranged!

Maybe he would even portray himself as a tyrant who was warlike and wasteful of the people's money and resources.

But soon, Liu Che felt that he was worrying too much.

Not to mention his own great achievements, even Sima Qian would not dare to write about the emperor in a very bad light, right?
Besides, he was Emperor Wu of Han. How could he be afraid of a mere Grand Historian?
The more Liu Che thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Although Sima Qian usually spoke respectfully, there was clearly a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

He didn't like Qin Shi Huang, so he wrote a terrible story about him in history books.

But he doesn't seem to have any good feelings towards me!

Especially what happened back then, Liu Che felt upset whenever he thought about it.

Li Ling surrendered to the Huns and was furious, but Sima Qian spoke up for him.

This is clearly an allusion to the fact that he has employed people improperly and has been unclear about rewards and punishments.

Later, he was thrown into prison, but he would rather be castrated than finish writing the history book. This kind of persistence will probably leave him with no good words.

We need to quickly ask someone to check where the "Records of the Grand Historian" is written.

If you find anything disrespectful, you must deal with it immediately!
But even if Sima Qian's book was destroyed, there were still so many literati and poets watching him!
In order to fight the Huns over the years, I have increased taxes, conscripted people, and offended many people.

Those Confucian scholars kept complaining about how "the people are suffering". The ministers in the court also kept complaining behind his back, saying that he was wasting money and manpower by wasting money.

Do we really have to burn books and bury scholars like Qin Shihuang did?

Liu Che shook his head, thinking that would only give people a reason to criticize him.

Besides, future historians will definitely write about this incident in a more unpleasant way.

It seems that we have to think of a way to silence the gossipers without giving others any chance to talk about us.

……

Sui Dynasty plane.

Yang Guang looked at the contents on the sky curtain, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The emperor who was most badly criticized by later generations?

That must be his father Yang Jian.

Thinking of Yang Jian, Yang Guang couldn't help but sneer.

My father had seized the kingdom from the Zhou family, so why would he want to abdicate?

However, the credit for destroying Chen was his own.

That was the glorious military achievement of Yang Guang who personally led his troops south and unified the south of the Yangtze River!

The more Yang Guang thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

When those historians wrote about Yang Jian, they always downplayed the fact, saying that he "accepted the abdication of Zhou."

But when he wrote about himself, it became "killing his father to seize the throne."

Could it be that I will be the one who gets hacked the most? !
……

Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Shimin looked at the sky and his heart began to beat fast.

Although he achieved remarkable political achievements during the Zhenguan period and created a prosperous and peaceful era, he was praised by later generations.

But these words of praise may not be able to cover up the shameful past.

After all, he was captured by Liu Wuzhou at Neon Gate!

At that time, in order to save his life, he begged for mercy from Tie Shiwen with tears in his eyes.

Although this is a stopgap measure, if this history is recorded with exaggeration by later generations, the image of "Emperor Taizong" will be completely ruined!
Li Shimin thought to himself, the historians shouldn't write about such things in too much detail, right?

After all, he treated them well on a daily basis. Although ministers like Wei Zheng often spoke frankly and gave advice, they would not write such embarrassing things in history books.

But Li Shimin was still not at ease.

Look at Qin Shihuang. He made great achievements, unified the six kingdoms, and built the Great Wall, but he is still called a tyrant by later generations.

Although he created the Zhenguan Reign, the Xuanwu Gate Incident was much more serious than Qin Shihuang's burning of books and burying of scholars, right?

Moreover, when he started his army in Jinyang, he made a name for himself as the General of Tiance.

But that time at Neon Gate, he actually knelt down and begged for mercy.

【Speaking of Yongzheng, he was really miserable! 】

[Yongzheng was a capable ruler. He governed the country well, rectified the administration of officials, and made the treasury full.]

[But in the eyes of ordinary people, this gentleman has become a demon king who kills people without hesitation! ]

[Speaking of Yongzheng, he has been slandered to the extreme in folk legends.]

[Everyone knows about the Flying Guillotine, right? That was Yongzheng's murderous weapon! ]

[It is said that the blood dropper is a special hidden weapon. If thrown from a high place, it can split a person's head in half! ]

[It is said that Yongzheng often sent people with blood-dropping spears to run around the city late at night, specifically to assassinate ministers who were disrespectful to him.]

[Ministers had to wear iron helmets when walking at night, for fear that a blood drop would suddenly fall from their heads! ]

[But to be honest, the legend of the guillotine is pure fabrication and there is no historical record of it at all.]

[But the people just bought into this and made Yongzheng into a perverted emperor who spent the night thinking about how to kill people.]

[That’s not all. There is also a folk legend that Yongzheng set up a special secret execution agency called the Imperial Police Office.]
