The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

[What you are seeing now is the gate of the Qin Palace. ]
[Yes, we are here at the Qin Palace in the film and television city. This Qin Palace was built by a famous domestic director who spent more than 1 billion yuan to replicate the Qin Dynasty Xianyang Palace one-to-one when he was shooting a well-known movie.]
[The real palace of the Qin Dynasty was burned down by the King of Chu, Xiang Yu.]

[Yes, what the King of Chu burned down was not the famous Afang Palace, but actually the Qin Palace. This has been confirmed by historians.]
[As for the so-called Afang Palace, in fact, only the foundation and pedestal were built, and it was not actually constructed. ]
[However, even if it is just the Qin Palace, it already covers an area of ​​more than 11 acres, with a construction area of ​​27 square meters, 45 palaces, and the main hall is nearly meters. ]

Along with the voice-over, an aerial video of the "Qin Palace" appeared in the scroll, showing palaces standing in rows, with bridges and corridors interspersed among them, and high walls and huge pillars standing tall, which was very magnificent.
Corresponding to these quaint videos are the modern skyscrapers in the distance, which seem incongruous yet also seem natural.

As the aerial video finished playing, the screen turned to the parking lot at the gate of the "Qin Palace". After the camera flashed through the many cars parked outside the gate, it turned to the entrance gatehouse.
However, compared with the city walls and towers full of ancient style, the red archway at the main entrance is extremely conspicuous.

This red archway has a line of festive red characters on a white background. To the emperors of all dynasties, it seemed that every character was unfamiliar to them, but upon closer inspection, every character seemed very familiar.
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly recognized one of the characters: "Biao'er, the second to last character is 'temple'?"
Considering that he used to be a monk, even if he could not read a single word, he could draw this word with his eyes closed, not to mention that he was now able to review memorials.
At this time, Empress Ma also tried to say: "The last word is '会', but the person who wrote it must be Mr. Baizi, so this word is wrong."

"The Queen is very talented, but the word 'capable' is too concise to write, not as good as mine." Zhu Yuanzhang's jaw dropped to the sky.
"However, although this character is in white, it is easier to remember than the previous characters, and it has fewer strokes." After looking at it carefully for a while, Zhu Biao nodded slightly.
"Humph, holding this temple fair in the royal palace is too ridiculous. If old Qin Shi Huang knew about this, wouldn't he be so angry that he would die?" Zhu Yuanzhang still snorted in dissatisfaction.

Emperors of other dynasties also noticed the difference in the text, but they all guessed the meaning of the archway without exception. However, some emperors' attention was not only on the archway, but on the tall buildings that just passed by, or on the cars parked at the door.

Zhao Zheng: Holding a temple fair in the Qin Palace? How bold. Also, what are those colorful boxes? Is it a trend in later generations to place coffins on the ground? Wait, burned? That bastard is from Chu? And he calls himself the Overlord?

Li Shimin: "Guanyin, is the tall building behind the palace a thousand feet high?"
Guanyin maid: "It seems there are dozens of floors."

Liu Che: The Overlord of Chu is really a waste of natural resources. No wonder Emperor Gaozu feels heartbroken every time he mentions the Qin Palace.

Shunzhi: It’s only 800 acres, far smaller than the Forbidden City.

Kangxi: I wonder where this treasure that can record images in the air comes from? If it is used in the army to spy on the enemy, wouldn't it be invincible?
[Of course, although this replica of the "Qin Palace" is very grand, it is still far inferior to the real Xianyang Palace, not to mention the Afang Palace that was left unfinished after only the foundation was built.]
[It is said that every time Qin Shi Huang conquered a country, he would build a palace in the Xianyang Palace in the style of that country's royal palace, so the Qin Royal Palace became bigger and bigger...]
[Ahem, we have strayed off topic. We are here to explore the heart-wrenching youth of the First Emperor. Let’s get back to the point.]

Zhao Zheng: Every time a country is conquered, we build a royal palace for that country inside the imperial palace? Good idea!

Liu Che: If I could move the Xiongnu royal court to my Weiyang Palace one day, I would have no regrets in this life.

Zhu Yuanzhang/Shunzhi/Kangxi: Perhaps I (the widower) can expand the territory and build a garden at the same time.

Zhao Kuangyin: Can the previous Later Zhou, Later Tang and Later Han be counted in?

[The main hall of the Qin Palace is the "Four Seas Return to One" Hall, where His Majesty the First Emperor received worship and allowed ministers to report on government affairs.]
[But this is not our focus this time. Let's go to the side hall at the back. It is said that this is the palace where Zhao Ji once lived. Here, our young emperor Qin Wang Zheng experienced a betrayal that he will never forget.]

betray?
Zhao Zheng frowned secretly.
At this moment, Zhao Ji, who had been watching quietly at the side, said softly, "Zheng'er, is the Queen Mother Zhao Ji mentioned in the scroll the me?"

Zhao Ji did not pay attention to the last time the scroll was unfolded. She only heard the servants in the mansion mention it later, saying that Zhao Zheng would return to the country to become the future King of Qin and unify the six kingdoms.
But before she could think about it, she escaped from Handan under the protection of her servants and headed for the border between Qin and Zhao. On the way, she met the Qin soldiers who came to welcome them back to Qin. Only then could she settle down at the border and wait to return to Qin in one go.

But while she was happy for her son, she was also a little worried because she had heard that Zheng'er would kill all those who bullied them in Handan in the future.
This made her a little panicked, even unbelievable. After all, she had lived cautiously for so many years, just thinking about saving her life, and she didn't dare to offend those who bullied them, for fear of getting into trouble.

She was naturally very concerned about the reappearance of the "Heavenly Scroll" today, but seeing the magnificent Qin Palace was fine, but when she heard the words "Queen Mother Zhao Ji", she felt like she was in a dream and it was very unreal.

Zhao Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "If what this scroll said is true, it should be my mother." "So, we can return to Qin safely and be with your father?" Zhao Ji's eyes lit up.
Obviously, apart from the title of Queen Mother, which is still a very illusory title to her, her greatest wish is to return to Qin safely.
"Don't worry, mother. It will be possible."

[Speaking of Zhao Ji, we naturally cannot leave out the "rare treasure" Lü Buwei. According to rumors, he was the matchmaker between Zhao Ji and Ying Zichu. Later, he became the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and presided over the compilation of the "Lüshi Chunqiu" which has been handed down to this day. ]
[The stories in "Lüshi Chunqiu" still make readers think deeply, and the story of Lü Buwei's rise from a businessman to a famous prime minister is also talked about with great relish. But if he had not met Ying Yiren, he might have remained a businessman all his life. ]

[It was precisely because of his close relationship with Ying Yiren and his wife that rumors spread during the Huayang Palace Incident after Ying Zheng returned to China that Zhao Zheng was Lu Buwei's biological son, and many people even believed it.]
[However, after Zhao Zheng was personally appointed as the crown prince by his father Ying Yiren and given the surname Ying, becoming Ying Zheng, this rumor was easily dispelled.]

[It is easy to imagine how important a crown prince is to a country. If Ying Yiren could not truly confirm that he was of his own bloodline, how could he pass the throne to Zhao Zheng without hesitation? ]
[However, after the unification of the six kingdoms, and even several years after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, this statement was brought up again. It must be said that someone did it with ulterior motives.]

[Who are these people with ulterior motives? They are the scholars from the other six countries whose countries were destroyed.]
[This also shows how much the scholars of the six kingdoms hated the First Emperor. Even the death of the Second Emperor of Qin could not stop them from criticizing him.]

[No matter how cruel the First Emperor was, he could only be compared to Emperor Yang of Sui who also died in the second generation.]
[Even if the First Emperor was careless about human life, could he compare to the "great achievement" of Emperor Yang of Sui, who reduced the population of the Sui Dynasty from more than 7 million households to less than 3 million households in just 13 years after ascending the throne?]
[Or can he compare with Emperor Yang of Sui, who believed that "the world is not peaceful because there are too many people. If you want peace in the world, you have to kill more people" when people in various places rose up in rebellion? ]

【The Qin laws were harsh, but there were still laws to follow. When the First Emperor destroyed the Zhao Dynasty and killed his enemies, it was for revenge. But when Emperor Yang of Sui was furious and executed tens of thousands of innocent boatmen just because his boats were blocked, which law did he follow?】

[It can only be said that the Li Tang Dynasty's evaluation of this previous dynasty was relatively fair, with both merits and demerits being given equal weight! ]

This explanation revealed too much information, and many emperors or people who were about to become emperors in front of the "Heavenly Scroll" were shocked.

Zhao Zheng: After I unified the six kingdoms, the Second Emperor died? What happened?

Emperor Wen of Sui: I, also died in the second generation? Emperor Yang of Sui? Is this the posthumous title of that prodigal son? Also, replaced by the Li Tang Dynasty? Li Tang, Li Tang, the surname Li? The surname Li in the world originated from Longxi, could it be...

Li Shimin frowned and muttered to himself: "Will the Great Sui Dynasty be replaced by the Li Tang Dynasty?"
While he was pondering, a soldier came hurriedly to report: "Sir, tell Erlang to go to the main hall to discuss matters immediately."
"Now?"
Li Shimin was stunned, and immediately looked at the "Heavenly Scroll", and immediately understood.
It seems that my father saw it too.
"I'll go right away."
After saying this, he threw off his robe and hurried to the meeting room.

【Gossip can melt gold, and constant criticism can destroy a person! The first emperor once burned books and buried scholars alive, offending all the scholars in the world. But what is the real truth?】
[The term "burning books and burying scholars" comes from "Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Confucian Scholars". The original text says "Until the end of the Qin Dynasty, poetry and books were burned, and scholars were buried alive. The six arts were lost from then on."]

[So, the people that the First Emperor killed were not Confucian scholars, but sorcerers who spread lies to confuse the people. Moreover, according to historical records, books on agriculture, animal husbandry and medicine were not among those burned, and many books on poetry were also kept in the palace.]

[When it came to the "Book of Documents" and "Strategies of the Warring States", the record of this incident became "When Qin Shihuang destroyed the ancient classics, burned books and buried scholars, scholars all over the world fled and dispersed" and "He used punishment as a way of governance and believed in small tricks as a way of life. He then burned books of poetry and buried scholars alive." ]
[Yes, it was just like that, after a series of changes, word of mouth, and rumors, the sorcerer became a Confucian scholar.]

[But who was the sorcerer who was really killed? In fact, it was the sorcerer who tricked Qin Shi Huang into refining the elixir of immortality. In the end, the Emperor found out that he was deceived and killed the sorcerer and the elixir refiner in anger! ]

At this moment, the scene changed, and a Q version of the emperor appeared in the picture, and almost at the same time, a large black iron pot appeared from the upper right corner of the screen, covering the emperor's back and pressing him to the ground.
The emperor's eyes turned into an "XX" shape, his tongue stuck out to the side, and there were whirlpools of stars spinning on his head.

Then a few crooked words appeared on the screen: Thousand-Year Flying Pot.
