Sky Curtain: The Overlord Charges into Battle, Shocking Emperors of All Dynasties

Western Han Dynasty

"Aaaaaah!" Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, went berserk, drawing his sword and wildly slashing.

"What are these descendants saying? What do they mean by swine fever?!"

"If you're so capable, come to my dynasty! I'll kill you all!!!"

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing exchanged a glance. Wei Qing gave Huo Qubing a look, signaling him to hurry up and go.

You are His Majesty's favorite. If you don't take the position, are you suggesting that your uncle take it?

Huo Qubing puffed out his chest: As expected, it still depends on me to take charge.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty need not pay any attention to what future generations say about the Heavenly Curtain." When Liu Che saw that it was his favorite young general who was comforting him, he immediately demonstrated what it means to change one's expression.

His initial anger instantly vanished, replaced by a broad smile. He thought to himself, "This is my favorite general, a carbon copy of my younger self. How could I possibly be angry with him?"

"In my opinion, later generations have different views and there are many disputes among them. When it comes to Emperor Gaozu, there are also many different opinions."

"Furthermore, since Tianmu has said that these problems existed in the later period of His Majesty's reign, His Majesty's correction of them will surely lead the Han Dynasty to a new golden age."

At this time, Liu Che had just won the decisive battle in Mobei and was in high spirits.

Historically, it was Liu Che who, feeling that his achievements were immeasurable, became arrogant and complacent, and in his old age, he transformed into a complete power-hungry beast.

But now, Liu Che has been dealt a heavy blow by the heavens, even though his words were somewhat excessive.

He said that if it weren't for Huo Guang and subsequent monarchs, he would have become a ruler who lost his country.

The phrase "a monarch who lost his country" became a Damocles' sword hanging over Liu Che's head, constantly reminding him not to become the kind of person described in the heavenly curtain.

Liu Che finally understood, "Now that the Xiongnu have been destroyed, let the people rest. They have suffered during this time."

Liu Che reluctantly abandoned his plans to build a luxurious palace and a garden full of rare birds, declaring, "I must not become a ruler who brings about the downfall of his country."

"Huo Guang, you should also offer your opinion on this matter," Liu Che said to Huo Guang, a physician who had only been in the court for a few years.

This is a great contributor to the Liu family; let him gain more experience quickly.

Late Eastern Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Ling

Cao Cao, the Northern Commandant of Luoyang, looked on with envy. Now twenty years old, Cao Cao had successfully integrated into the circle of Luoyang scholars by not fearing the powerful and daring to fight against the eunuchs.

At this time, Cao Cao was gathered with other scholars at Yuan Shao's residence, discussing state affairs.

"Our great Han Dynasty actually had two rulers who were hailed by later generations as emperors of all ages."

Yuan Shao was filled with pride. As a subject of the Han Dynasty, he was naturally honored. Being able to occupy two seats in the history of the Han Dynasty was enough to show how powerful the Han Dynasty was.

"It is truly a disgrace that the grandeur of the Han Dynasty, established by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Shizong, has now been usurped by a group of eunuchs!"

"I heard that the Qiang people in Liangzhou in the west have started another rebellion. The world is now engulfed in war, and bandits are rampant everywhere. How could the Han Dynasty have come to this state?"

After their passionate discussion, the scholars reflected on the Emperor's current state of affairs: he was indulging in pleasure, the Ten Attendants were causing chaos within the court, and the Qiang people were rebelling outside. They wondered when the Han Dynasty would be restored to its former glory.

For a moment, everyone looked sad and their eyes were filled with tears.

"Why does a grown man act like a woman?" Cao Cao suddenly stood up and shouted at the crowd.

"My lifelong ambition is to quell the Qiang rebellion and restore the glory of my great Han Dynasty!!!"

"Mengde has lofty ambitions," Yuan Shao raised his cup to Cao Cao from afar, "Mengde wants to establish military merits, while I want to remove the eunuchs and bring order to the court."

"At that time, the two of us, one inside and one outside, will revive the Han Dynasty!!!"

Yuan Shao's words were resounding, and a spirit of loyalty to the country and fearlessness in the face of death permeated the banquet.

"Dry!!!"

Second place: Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin

Standing before you now is the strongest carbon-based life form of the 7th century, the pinnacle of combat power in this era, the Grand General of the Heavenly Strategy, the Commander of the Twelve Guards, the Grand Chancellor, the Pillar of State, the Prince of Qin, the Heavenly Khan, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin.

With the bearing of a dragon and phoenix, and the countenance of the sun and moon.

[By cultivating internal culture and establishing military strength, the Zhenguan era of prosperity was ushered in.]

[A benevolent father and filial son, a loving brother and respectful fraternal brother—the founder of the Xuanwu Gate Succession Law of the Tang Dynasty]

[A role model for emperors after the Tang Dynasty, exemplifying both military prowess and effective governance.]

Emperor Taizong Wen, Li Shimin, a great emperor throughout history

Against the backdrop of the sky, the grasslands are lush and green, with herds of cattle and sheep grazing.

A group of people dressed in foreign clothing, with disheveled hair, adorned with gold and silver, clearly in the style of Turkic nobles.

At this moment, they were not staying in their tents drinking and making merry, nor were they, as before, raiding the borders of the Tang Dynasty to the south.

They all knelt on the ground in unison. Before them, Li Shimin sat regally atop his white-hoofed horse, looking down at them.

Behind him, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and other generals stood in a row, exuding murderous intent, as if they were looking at a group of pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered.

"I wish to bestow upon His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty the title of Heavenly Khan!!!"

From then on, the Hu people, skilled in singing and dancing, submitted to the emperor.

Question: Who was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

Follow-up comment: Are you kidding me? Do you think I didn't go through nine years of compulsory education? It must be Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin!!

Follow-up comment: Li Yuan: Go home, child. You're better suited to be a dog.

Follow-up comment: Then let me ask you, then let me ask you, why is Li Shimin called Taizong and not Gaozu?

There was nothing they could do; Li Shimin had personally led his troops to conquer most of the Tang Dynasty.

[Defeating Xue Rengao, defeating Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou, capturing two kings in the Battle of Hulao Pass—who can match such martial arts skills?]

Her Majesty the Second Emperor is unparalleled in archery and horsemanship, and her archery skills are divine.

[That's right! And our Second Emperor is also a little crybaby, so cute!!!]

During the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty

The courtiers in the hall looked speechlessly at their Emperor Li Shimin on the imperial steps.

Li Shimin, head held high and nostrils pointing to the sky, paced back and forth on the steps, looking every bit like a proud little phoenix.

"My dear Wei, my dear Wei, my dear Wei, please don't ignore me," Li Shimin said softly, patiently asking even though Wei Zheng's face showed obvious disdain.

"The celestial Khan mentioned on the screen, the strongest carbon-based life form, who is the ceiling of combat power?"

Li Shimin feigned surprise.

"I never knew there was such a person in the Tang Dynasty. Minister Wei, you are very knowledgeable, could you tell me about him?"

Wei Zheng was completely dumbfounded; His Majesty was definitely retaliating.

So all I did was tease you a few times. Now that people are judging me in the future, you're dropping the act and coming clean, huh?

The only regrettable aspect is his personal morality; he was kind to his father and filial to his son, and his brothers were friendly and respectful to each other.

Follow-up comment: Kid, are you trying to discredit my Second Emperor again?

Follow-up comment: Li Shimin: That was clearly because the eldest brother suffered from acute iron poisoning, and the third brother, in a fit of anger, strangled himself. Father Emperor could not accept it and fell ill. I had no choice but to become the crown prince. Is there anyone more filial than me?

Follow-up comment: Li Shimin: Come here, come to Xuanwu Gate, I will reward you handsomely.

There was nothing he could do; Li Shimin was the protagonist of that era. Li Jiancheng wasn't actually weak, but unfortunately, he met Li Shimin.

If Li Shimin had been the eldest son, there wouldn't have been so many problems. So, it's all Li Yuan's fault for not making Li Shimin the eldest son!

Follow-up comment: Is this Li Yuan's fault? Why didn't you let Li Yuan execute Li Jiancheng and make Li Shimin the crown prince?

Follow-up comment: Li Shimin: Is that alright? (Starry-eyed) I think it's unnecessary for my elder brother to die. It's enough that Li Yuanji died.

Li Shimin truly hated Li Yuanji. If Li Jiancheng had actually relinquished the throne, his life would probably have been much better, but Li Yuanji's fate was uncertain.

Li Shimin initially felt guilty for killing Li Jiancheng during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, but the thought of killing Li Yuanji made him smile happily.

It's all Li Yuanji's fault for sowing discord and spreading rumors; otherwise, things wouldn't have escalated to that point.
