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

It's alright.

Upon seeing the Tang Dynasty's fate depicted on the sky, Zhu Di felt a surge of relief.

He was, after all, a military general, and only had a general understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty.

Little did I know that so many people wanted to take a "Xuanwu Gate Day Trip".

Fortunately, he firmly chose his eldest son as the crown prince to inherit his throne.

Even though he felt that his eldest son was in poor health, he never considered replacing Zhu Gaochi.

As an emperor who opposed... and whose ascension to the throne was not entirely honorable,

Even if her eldest son is physically disabled or incompetent, she must ensure that he successfully inherits the throne and ascends the throne.

Otherwise, future generations might follow suit and end up like the Tang Dynasty, killing each other and leaving their hands covered in blood.

How will I face my ancestors in the afterlife then?

Thinking of this, Zhu Di seemed to recall something else, a strange expression appearing on his face, and a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"Dad, what are you laughing at? You're laughing like a lapdog!"

Zhu Gaochi's lion-like language system did not disappoint.

He was always an expert at provoking Zhu Di!

Zhu Di was too lazy to argue with his second son, who had lost his mind.

"What do you think Li Shimin's expression would be if he knew about his son Li Zhi's affair with Wu Zetian?"

Zhu Di's words reminded the group, and after a moment's thought, they all realized what he meant, their expressions gradually shifting to the same strange look on Zhu Di's face.

"I imagine the expression on the face of Emperor Taizong of Tang, one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history, will be quite a sight then!"

Zhu Di always regarded Emperor Taizong of Tang as his role model.

But regarding this matter, Zhu Di felt that...

He can't learn it.

Emperor Taizong of Tang was indeed powerful, but he was not a good father.

hum,

Zhu Di stood with his hands on his hips, his face full of smugness.

In terms of being a father,

Emperor Taizong of Ming was greater than Emperor Taizong of Tang!

The text on the sky gradually disappeared, and what appeared before everyone was a line of large characters.

[The Twin Stars of Emperor Taizong: The Verbal Battle Between Li Shimin and Zhu Di!]

A war of words?

If these two were to start arguing, they'd be stabbing each other in the back!

Is there something else you can say?!?

This is absolutely amazing! Ever since Li Chenggan started his rebellion, one juicy story after another has been unfolding. It's been a feast for the eyes!

Let them start arguing! Let them start fighting!

We want to see rivers of blood and fangs!

Images floated on the screen, showing two dogs standing up, dressed in dragon robes, one labeled "Li Shimin" and the other "Zhu Di".

Li Shimin: I am Emperor Taizong.

Zhu Di: I am also Emperor Taizong, and I succeed him in order of succession.

Li Shimin: I am also the successor in order of succession.

Zhu Di: Tch~ You call that succession by order of succession? Is fratricide also a succession by order of succession?

Li Shimin: You are better than me. You seized the throne from your nephew and even gave your father four more years of life!

Zhu Di: Your son will marry your wife!

Li Shimin: You!! Your great-grandson is studying in the Oirat Mongols

Upon seeing these two bombshell revelations, the ancient figures in front of the sky became excited, except for Li Shimin and Zhu Di, whose faces had already darkened.

Li Shimin, in particular, had blood pressure that never went down, and he now felt like his temples were about to burst.

Son getting married?

Li Shimin grabbed his scalp and scratched it frantically.

Is there really no normal person in my family?

Who set this precedent?!

Could it be that he really set a bad example for his son by forcibly taking his sister-in-law?

Also, who is this son?

It can only be Li Zhi!!!

After he became emperor, wouldn't it be up to him to manage his own harem?

Treason! !

You're not human!

Li Shimin now really wants to do something.

We need to call that bastard Li Zhi over and give him a good spanking!

Unfortunately, Li Zhi is still young, so we can't punish him too harshly!

Li Shimin sighed.

Oh well, it's all my own doing. As long as Li Zhi doesn't shower me with too much affection, that's fine.

As long as they don't end up like him, harboring ambitions of becoming empress, it's fine.

After Empress Zhangsun passed away, he considered making his former sister-in-law, now Consort Yang, empress.

It was only after the ministers advised against it that the matter was dropped.

But this is different; one is her brother's wife, and the other... is she considered a stepmother?

If she were made empress, what would the world think? Wouldn't the reputation of the Tang Dynasty be completely ruined for posterity?!

...

Zhu Di's reaction was much smaller than Li Shimin's, after all, his great-grandson was studying in the Oirat Mongols.

He vaguely understood what studying abroad meant.

So what if they were captured by the Oirats?

Anyway, he has three sons, a lot of grandchildren, and definitely many great-grandchildren.

It is estimated that the vassal king who was enfeoffed in the north encountered the Oirat invasion and was captured.

It's not like I'm the emperor, it's a small matter!

But it still makes me angry when I think about it!

"Their descendants are so incompetent, they even allowed the Oirats to invade!!"

Zhu Di glared fiercely at Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji.

"Look at the good grandson you two have raised!!"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji bowed their backs, filled with shame.

You really can't blame them for that, after all, he's their own grandson (son).

The two listened as Zhu Di angrily berated them for being useless and failing to properly educate their sons, interspersed with undisguised laughter from Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaochi secretly swore in his heart,

When I get home, that little brat will get what's coming to him!!

However, Zhu Gaochi wanted to beat up Zhu Zhanji, since Zhu Zhanji didn't have a son yet.

Let Zhu Zhanji experience the power of a father's love beforehand, otherwise how can we teach our son well!

The images on the screen continued.

Li Shimin's words provoked Zhu Di's strong dissatisfaction, and a series of attacks came from Zhu Di's mouth, all aimed at Li Shimin.

"You forced your father to abdicate!"

"What's wrong?"

"Your son is rebelling like you!"

"What's wrong?"

"Can't you say anything else?"

In the scene, Li Shimin glared at him with his dog-like eyes, "Hmm? This provocation isn't over yet."

"Fine, I didn't want to say it, but you forced me to!"

"Emperor Chengzu!!"

"Your temple name is Chengzu!"

The moment the name "Emperor Chengzu" was uttered, numerous dynasties were in an uproar.

The Ming Dynasty was the penultimate dynasty, and only the Qing Dynasty truly understands many aspects of it.

The Qing emperors were used to it.

So what if he was the Yongle Emperor? Zhu Di was still the Yongle Emperor!

My Great Qing Dynasty still has the Emperor Shizu and the Emperor Shengzu!

Nobody dared to say anything!

Besides, how can a clan leader have the same domineering presence as an ancestor?!

That's just how the Northeastern savages are; they don't understand etiquette and do whatever they want.

In dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, the name "Chengzu" was equivalent to triggering a major earthquake.

Before the Ming Dynasty, not counting the messy ancestors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties,

Only Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Cao Pi of the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty.

Among these people, Liu Xiu was the one who truly re-established the Han Dynasty after the Xin Dynasty, and he deserves the title of Emperor Shizu.

Cao Pi, Sima Yan, and Kublai Khan all posthumously honored their fathers or grandfathers as Taizu, but they themselves were the actual founders of their own dynasties.

As for Yang Guang, he was posthumously honored by Li Yuan, so let's not mention him!

The fact that the title "Ancestor" was used proves one thing.

He conquered the land himself, or rather, he formally founded the nation, rather than inheriting his father's achievements.

Zhu Di spent his entire life trying to prove that he was the rightful heir to the throne, passed down from Zhu Yuanzhang.

A lifetime of hard work was utterly crushed by the name of Emperor Chengzu!
