Sky Curtain: The opening scene explains the four major cases of the Ming Dynasty plus the early Ming

The turmoil within Xianyang Palace has subsided, but the awe-inspiring power of the sky, like a boulder thrown into a lake, has created ripples that will never cease in different times and spaces.

Fusu traveled to Sanchuan County, carrying his father's expectations and Tianmu's "tutorial," embarking on his true path of transformation.

Meanwhile, Ying Zheng sat in Xianyang, coldly observing Hu Hai and Zhao Gao in the imperial prison, while gazing intently at the sky with unprecedented focus, anticipating the "recap" that future generations would make.

Above the sky, Zhu Dijun took a sip of water and cleared his throat.

"Family members, Young Master Fusu's 'Beginner's Guide' has come to a temporary end."

"I hope he can achieve something in his studies and not disappoint the First Emperor again."

"Next, let's continue our review of the second of the 'Four Tragic Princes' of feudal dynasties!"

Zhu Dijun's voice became heavy, carrying a hint of indescribable regret.

"This crown prince is kind and benevolent, loves the people like his own children, and is deeply loved by the people."

"In terms of status, he was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and was made crown prince at the age of seven. He served as regent for nearly thirty years and achieved remarkable political achievements."

"In terms of ability, he handled government affairs with composure and propriety, and overturned wrongful convictions many times. Even his father, the emperor, who was a man of great talent and ambition, once praised him, saying that he would surely bring peace to the world."

"Yet this near-perfect crown prince ultimately suffered disgrace, military defeat, and suicide, with his entire family, except for an infant still in swaddling clothes, being slaughtered."

"His mother, a virtuous empress, also committed suicide because of him."

"All of this stemmed from a conspiracy instigated by a treacherous minister, and even more so from his great father, the emperor..."

Zhu Dijun paused, a sarcastic smile curving his lips.

"In their later years, they suddenly started getting swine fever!"

These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky!

People from all timelines were stunned.

A...swine fever outbreak?

What kind of adjective is this?

vulgar!

That's so vulgar!

But for some reason, it felt strangely fitting and...relief?

The Great Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was just admiring Qin Shi Huang's decisiveness and pondering Fusu's change of heart.

Upon hearing the phrase "swine fever outbreak," he froze completely.

Immediately afterwards, an uncontrollable rage, like a volcanic eruption, exploded from his chest!

"presumptuous!"

A thunderous roar shook all the palace servants in Weiyang Palace to their knees, trembling in fear.

Liu Che suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the sky, his gaze as if he wanted to devour Zhu Dijun alive.

"You insolent brats of later generations! How dare you insult me ​​like this!"

"You're the one with swine fever! Your whole family has swine fever!"

"I am the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, my power extends throughout the land, my achievements surpass those of all ages! How dare you, a mere child, bark and howl here!"

He was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed at the sky and cursed loudly, completely losing his former imperial majesty.

However, Judy Jun on the sky seemed to have anticipated his reaction. Instead of being afraid, he laughed even harder.

"Family members, please calm down, please calm down."

"I'm not saying this out of thin air; there's historical basis for it."

"As we all know, our great Emperor Wu of Han had a nickname when he was a child, which was 'Zhi'er'."

"What does 'zhi' mean? It means pig."

"So, isn't it particularly apt and culturally rich to say that he 'spreads swine fever'?"

"puff--"

The Great Han Dynasty, Chang Le Palace.

Princess Liu Piao of Guantao, who was enjoying the company of her grandchildren, suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.

She looked at the sky, then at her furious brother Liu Che, wanting to laugh but not daring to, her face turning red with suppressed laughter.

The nickname "Zhi'er" was something she used to tease Consort Wang in front of Emperor Jing.

Who would have thought that two thousand years later, it would become a joke used by later generations to ridicule Liu Che?

Western Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Gaozu.

The rogue emperor Liu Bang slapped his thigh and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Oh my! A piglet? A little piglet?"

"Hahaha! How did our Liu family produce such a clown?"

He pointed to the sky and laughed at Empress Lü and Liu Ying beside him, "Look, look at our descendants, their names are so down-to-earth!"

"However, this descendant said that he caused swine fever, killing his own son and wife. If that's true, he's not a good person, he's a complete scoundrel!"

Liu Bang's smile gradually faded, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He can tolerate his descendants having rustic names, but he absolutely cannot tolerate them doing something foolish that destroys the Great Wall!

Western Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, known for his frugality and benevolence, was also astonished and puzzled at this moment.

He looked at his grandson Liu Che, who was furiously raging, on the sky, his brows furrowed.

"How could Qi'er's son... have such a violent temper?"

"And then there's the 'swine fever outbreak,' which harmed his wife and children... This... This is simply a human tragedy! How could the Liu family produce such unfilial descendants!"

Western Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, had a face so dark it looked like it could drip water.

His own son was ridiculed by later generations and exposed for the shocking scandal of murdering his wife and children. As a father, he felt extremely ashamed!

"The traitor!"

Liu Qi cursed through gritted teeth.

He now wishes he could rush back to the era of Emperor Wu of Han and use his ruthless methods of reducing the power of the princes to teach this son who "spreads swine fever" a good lesson!

In Weiyang Palace, Liu Che listened to the "science popularization" from the sky and felt the contemptuous gazes of his ancestors from different times and spaces. He was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

The nickname "Zhi'er" was a disgrace to him for the rest of his life!

Now, this upstart from later generations is repeatedly whipping his corpse in front of all time and space!

"Guards! Bring me the history books! I want to see how my crown prince died!"

Liu Che roared.

He simply couldn't believe he had done something so foolish and cruel!

This must be a slander from later generations! It's defamation!

On the sky, Zhu Dijun completely ignored Liu Che's roar and continued his review.

"This tragic crown prince was none other than Liu Ju, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of Han."

As Zhu Dijun spoke, a portrait of a gentle and refined young man appeared on the sky.

He had a handsome face, gentle eyes, and a kind smile on his lips, which contrasted sharply with his father Liu Che's aggressive and dignified appearance.

[The Second Tragic Crown Prince: The Tyrannical Crown Prince – Liu Ju]

[Identity: Eldest son of Emperor Wu of Han (Liu Che), born to Empress Wei Zifu]

[Personality: Kind, forgiving, gentle, and compassionate]

[The root of the tragedy: the persecution of witchcraft, and the suspicion between father and son]

Inside the Weiyang Palace, a figure suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and fear.

He was none other than the Crown Prince, Liu Ju.

Looking at his own portrait on the sky, the glaring posthumous title of "Crown Prince Li," and the ending of "defeat in battle, suicide, and the slaughter of his entire family," he felt a sudden dizziness.

"No...it's impossible..."

"Father... Father loves me so much, how could he..."

He muttered to himself, his face ashen.

Beside him, the elegant and dignified Wei Zifu had already lost her composure, clutching her son's hand tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"My son, don't be afraid, don't be afraid... With your mother here, the sky won't fall down..."

Although her voice was comforting her son, it also carried an undeniable tremor.

Zhu Dijun's voice rang out again, filled with deep sympathy.

"Family members, it can be said that Crown Prince Liu Ju perfectly embodies all the Confucian ideals of a 'benevolent ruler'."

"But his mistake was that he had a domineering CEO father with a 'Legalist' core ideology."

"A kind-hearted son who values ​​'leniency' in everything encounters a father who is decisive and believes in 'strict laws and punishments.' The two men's governing philosophies are fundamentally opposed."

"In his later years, Emperor Wu of Han became increasingly paranoid, and was surrounded by a group of cruel officials who tried to outwit him and frame others."

"As for our Crown Prince Liu Ju, he offended these cruel officials because he always overturned wrongful convictions."

"Thus, a massive conspiracy targeting not only the Crown Prince but also the very foundation of the Han Dynasty was launched."

"And the trigger that ignited all of this was the infamous witchcraft scandal in history!"

Zhu Dijun's voice, like a death knell of fate, struck heavily on the hearts of everyone in the era of Emperor Wu of Han.

Liu Che's body jolted violently.

witchcraft...

The thing he hates most!

Could it be that he would really drive his son to his death because of something so vague and unrealistic?

For the first time, a sense of wavering and fear arose in his heart.
