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

Chapter 33: Did Qin Shi Huang stop taking elixirs and start practicing health preservation?

Before the celestial canopy, the ancient figures lamented the harm caused by eunuchs' interference in politics, and one by one they cursed Zhao Gao. It was unclear whether they were cursing Zhao Gao, the eunuchs of their own dynasty, or even the emperor behind the eunuchs.

In ancient times, except for a few dynasties, eunuchs were generally regarded as the emperor's representatives. The Tang Dynasty was an exception because Tang Dynasty eunuchs held military power. Even in the Ming Dynasty, which was on par with the Tang Dynasty and had the most severe eunuch scourge, eunuchs were more like household slaves compared to Tang Dynasty eunuchs, who could be killed by the emperor with a single word.

Zhao Gao can be said to have set a precedent for eunuchs seizing power. Historical records show that after forcing Qin Er Shi to commit suicide, Zhao Gao wore the imperial seal into the palace.

He tried to sit on that chair to test the reaction of the court officials, but there was not a single supporter. Moreover, the palace shook three times. It is unlikely that the palace shook three times now, but the people's hearts were not with Zhao Gao. You can be allowed to seize power, but you can't be allowed to be the emperor. Zhao Gao had no choice but to be forced to establish Ziying as emperor.

A mobile phone from the late Eastern Han Dynasty?

"Strategist, do you know what this cell phone is?"

Liu Bei, looking curious, asked Zhuge Liang, "My strategist is so learned and intelligent, surely he should be able to guess it, right?" Zhang Fei, his face full of jealousy, retorted, "Brother, why didn't you ask me?" He continued, "Ever since my brother invited this 'Sleeping Dragon' out of seclusion, he's asked me about everything. Before, he always asked me and my second brother." "Oh?" Liu Bei was clearly incredulous at his third brother's improved intelligence. "You know too?"

"Of course I know," Zhang Fei said confidently. "A cell phone is just like holding a chicken in your hand."

"In my opinion, it must have been passed down to later generations, who then turned the chicken we eat into this machine."

"After all, weren't the characters different during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods?"

Don't let my rough appearance fool you, I'm actually quite literate. Zhuge Liang lightly waved his feather fan. "Mobile phones, I think they must have been used by later generations to look at those things on the celestial screen. They seem to be very common; everyone has one."

"Oh? So we have cell phones too?" Zhang Fei thought to himself, "Isn't this the sky in front of us?"

"No, it should be called 'eye-tracking'."

Shen Chuan rubbed his eyes, stood up, and stretched his stiff body. "No way, I've been lying down all this time, I'm practically a cripple!" Shen Chuan walked to the scale and curiously weighed himself. He had only graduated not long ago, how could his weight have changed so much?

The numbers on the weighing scale flickered and then stopped. Shen Chuan stared blankly at the number, and after a moment, a sharp, loud bang rang out: "I'm so handsome!!!!"

Shen Chuan hurriedly ran to the full-length mirror in the bedroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and thought, "Who is this pig?"

Shen Chuan looked puzzled, but finally felt relieved. "So I was that pig after all."

No, I've been ruined by alcohol and women, and I've become so haggard. Starting today, I will quit drinking!

I need to lose weight and take care of my health, otherwise I won't live long, and how can I enjoy my life as a landlord?

Since things have come to this, let's browse through videos and find some weight loss tips.

How to maintain health and prolong life scientifically

Hmm? Extend lifespan, prolong life?

How could later generations be so capable that they even have methods to prolong life?

The content displayed on the celestial screen attracted the attention of almost everyone, from commoners to emperors and generals. Their attention was focused on the screen, for this was a method to prolong life. In the past, such things were beyond the reach of ordinary people like us.

"Quick, get some paper and a pen!!!!"

In the twentieth year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin suddenly flipped up from his bed, feeling a long-lost vitality in his body. He was old and his body was not as good as before. Li Shimin now knew how Qin Shi Huang felt back then. How could one not miss such a great country?

Since the seventeenth year of the Zhenguan era, Li Shimin had been taking various elixirs. By the twentieth year of the Zhenguan era, he had openly summoned alchemists to refine the elixir of immortality, or at least extend his lifespan by a few years. [Scientific research shows that to achieve longevity, one must first pay attention to a healthy diet. Although modern diets are made with technology and hard work, it is still important to eat more whole grains and vegetables, and never consume large amounts of meat and fish every day, as this will place a great burden on the body.]

[A negative example is Ying Zheng, who consumed too many elixirs concocted by alchemists. These things were poisonous, yet Ying Zheng kept consuming them.]

Are people from later generations living such good lives? They eat coarse grains instead of refined grains. I eat coarse grains every day. Let alone eating meat every day, I can't even eat meat once a year. People from different time periods think this is nonsense. For them, not to mention eating refined grains every day, having meat to eat every day, being able to eat meat once a month is already their dream life.

"Boss, did you hear that?"

Zhu Di patted his crown prince Zhu Gaochi's large stomach, "You must remember what Tianmu said; you can't keep indulging in meat and fish every day."

"I will send people to monitor your diet then, and you absolutely mustn't eat any more!"

"Brother," Zhu Gaoxu leaned forward and tried to put his arm around Zhu Gaochi's broad shoulders, "If you ask me, coarse grains aren't good for your health either. You should eat pig feed."

"This is good for your health," Zhu Gaoxu gave a thumbs up, "Our father relied on eating this back in the day to get better..."

'

With a "thud," Zhu Gaochi turned his head to look.

The second child flew away again?

Zhu Di slowly withdrew his foot. "Someone, bring a bowl of pig feed so that our Prince of Han can have a taste."

To live a long life, in addition to a healthy diet, exercise is essential, such as the ancient Chinese exercises like Five Animal Frolics, Eight Pieces of Brocade, and Tai Chi.

The sky shifted and changed, and blurry figures made movement after movement, like monkeys, like cranes...

Hua Tuo, looking at the figure in the sky, thought, "Isn't this my Five Animal Frolics?" He seemed to be squatting, stretching, and extending his arms.

It turns out my Five Animal Frolics really did survive to later generations. But these movements seem even more refined than mine! During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Tzu (Li Er) was constantly moving his hands, mimicking the Tai Chi Chuan on the sky. The shape of a Tai Chi diagram gradually appeared as his hands slid back and forth. "This Tai Chi Chuan has quite a bit of the essence of Taoism."

Most importantly, you must maintain a positive mood and avoid staying up late. Workaholics, for example, are prone to sudden death from overwork.

Tianmu is right! One must maintain a cheerful mood to live a long life! In every time and space, the pampered young masters dressed in brocade and silk wholeheartedly agreed with what Tianmu said. One must be cheerful! Tonight, let's go to Xiuchunfang!

[The detailed recipe and precautions will be at the end of the video. I hope everyone takes good care of their health.]

As the sound ended, a detailed menu and instructions appeared on the sky. For ordinary people, this was insignificant, even superfluous, as they were already struggling to get enough to eat and had to work all day. However, a grain of sand in the era can become a mountain on the people. If some wise rulers lived a few more years, perhaps the people could enjoy a few more years of peace and prosperity.

He told me to take care of myself, he cares about me, he really does, I'm so happy I could cry.

Why are you using Brother Zheng as a negative example again? What did our Brother Zheng do to you? (angry)

Follow-up comment: If Brother Zheng hadn't taken those heavy metal pills, which are all toxic, and if he had handled less government affairs and exercised more, he could have lived at least a few more years, right?

Ying Zheng looked at the bright red pill in his hand and decided not to eat it. "Give it to the dog—Zhao Gao," he said. "From today onwards, I will focus on health, regulate my diet, and practice the Five Animal Frolics. I will try to prolong Fusu's life as many years as possible."

As for political affairs, Fusu is still young, so it's always good to give him more responsibilities and help him improve his abilities.
