When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 230: Emperor Jing of Han was puzzled. An old man fell down and no one helped him up.

"Rebellion is impossible. We can all eat here, and the country will help us if we are in trouble. Who would have nothing better to do than rebel?"

Emperor Jing of Han pointed at the rows of various knives displayed in the knife shop and asked in confusion: "In the Han Dynasty, with so many weapons, it is not a problem to gather a group of elite soldiers and occupy a city."

Zhu Ming shook his head. "How many knives can there be in this knife shop? If you go to a large knife wholesale market, wouldn't the emperor be so eager to abdicate? These are just kitchen knives, machete knives, butcher knives, etc. The worst that can happen is a street fight. Besides, if someone is rebelling and displays all the weapons, that's courting death!"

"That's true. The people who rebelled on our side were all hiding their intentions. You didn't even know they had the intention to rebel until the very last moment."

"Yes, during the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, some of them were indeed unexpected. They were usually very respectful to the imperial court, but who would have thought that they would actually follow the King of Wu in rebellion? It's really hard to judge a person by his appearance."

"I'll give you a method to resolve your doubts. There's no need for tortoise shells or yarrow stalks. To test jade, you must burn it for three days. To identify the material, you must wait seven years. Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble before he usurped the throne. If I had died at the beginning, who would know the truth about my life?" Zhu Ming couldn't help showing off when he remembered a poem.

Emperor Jing of Han and Chao Cuo read silently, their eyes lit up: "Good poem, it's really a good poem. As for Zhou Gong's words, there are a few other people who can be compared to him, but who is this Wang Mang?"

"To be written into a poem, he must be a famous figure. I am so ignorant that I didn't even know such a figure. I am really ashamed!"

Emperor Wu of Han smiled slightly and said, "Father, this is probably a poem from later generations. The Han Dynasty had not yet appeared. The characters in it probably came from after the Han Dynasty. You have to believe that with Xiao Zhu's level, he can't even write a soy sauce poem."

Zhu Ming smiled proudly: "In the Han Dynasty, this is my poem. As for who Wang Mang is, you will know in the future. He has a great relationship with your Han Dynasty."

The three of them suddenly became interested.

"Could it be an outstanding talent of the Han Dynasty?" Emperor Wu of Han asked in surprise.

Zhu Ming looked at Emperor Wu of Han suspiciously and was silent for a few seconds: "You really don't know. I remember when we were drinking and you were making fun of Old Zhao about the Southern Song and Northern Song, Old Zhao told you about this person."

Emperor Wu of Han thought for a few seconds and shook his head helplessly. "I guess he was drunk at the time. He drank several times and when he woke up, he found that he had lost his memory. The worst time was when he clearly remembered drinking with the queen under the moonlight. When he woke up, he found himself lying in the same bed with Lao Ying. He had no idea what happened in between. The key point is that Lao Ying didn't know what was going on either. He only remembered that he was cultivating feelings with Ying's wife at the time."

Zhu Ming has some impression of this incident.

"That time, Lao Zhao mentioned Wang Mang, and you kept drinking afterwards. Luckily, you two were both completely drunk at the time. Otherwise, based on your memories before you both blacked out, who knows what might have happened."

"Who is this person?" Emperor Wu of Han asked curiously.

"The Song Dynasty was divided into the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. Have you ever thought about the reasons?" Zhu Ming couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Wu of Han shook his head: "Why think about these things? It is probably the work of some foolish descendant. What should have happened has already happened. What has not happened, I believe will not happen again in the Han Dynasty. Knowing the truth, I almost fainted like Zhu Yuanzhang. Is it worth it?"

Emperor Jing of Han couldn't help but kick Lao Liu and said, "You rebellious son, get out of here! What's going on? How could there be the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

Chao Cuo frowned and said, "Could it be related to Wang Mang?"

Zhu Ming nodded. "As expected of Lao Chao, you guessed it right away. Although the Han Dynasty lasted for more than 230 years, it was interrupted for a period of time. Qin Yuan perished in 15 AD, and Wang Mang established the Xin Dynasty. However, the Xin Dynasty's rule did not last long, only years, after which the Green Forest Uprising broke out, and Liu Xiu, the great mage of the Han Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor and established the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the first half of the period, the capital was Chang'an, and in the second half, the capital was Luoyang. So historians call the period when the capital of the Han Dynasty was in Chang'an the "Western Han Dynasty", and the period when the capital of the Han Dynasty was in Luoyang the "Eastern Han Dynasty."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard three curses.

"You bastard, where is this Wang Mang? Who are their ancestors? I must destroy their ancestors!"

"My Han dynasty lasted for more than 400 years, but it was abruptly interrupted. No wonder they all laughed every time I mocked the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. That's why! But Xiu'er is still good. She managed to save the Han dynasty. Otherwise, it would not be as good as the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty."

"Wang Mang, Wang Mang. I know he is a reckless man just by hearing his name."

I wandered around this small town for two hours.

At this moment, Emperor Jing of Han and Chao Cuo firmly believed in their hearts that this place was the world after the Han Dynasty had existed for more than two thousand years.

You know, when I was in the Han Dynasty, such a scene would never have been possible!

Although it is still unknown what kind of unfathomable technological power is contained in this place, it is clear from everything we have witnessed so far that its technological level must be far beyond that of the Han Dynasty.

Just look at those skyscrapers that soar into the sky and are lined up one after another. Considering the construction technology and capabilities of the Han Dynasty at that time, it was simply an Arabian Nights thing that was out of reach.

What about the cars that can be seen everywhere on the streets and whose speed is even faster than a galloping horse?
Everyone has a mobile phone that can make calls or video calls across thousands of miles. This is such a magical thing that even a powerful country like the Han Dynasty would think it is a fantasy, not to mention the surrounding countries whose strength is far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty.

"The life here is really fascinating! Here, everyone can fill their stomachs as long as they work hard. However, in the Han Dynasty, this is basically impossible. Even if my people work hard all day long, once a natural disaster occurs, countless innocent people will starve to death."

You know, in ancient times, due to the low level of productivity, the yield of crops was extremely limited;

In addition, transportation conditions are extremely backward, and information transmission is slow and difficult.

Therefore, when a region suffers a serious disaster, it often causes a large number of people to fall into the desperate situation of hunger and death.

Even if in other places the granaries are full, due to the limitations of simple means of transportation and rugged road conditions, it would take a long time to deliver these life-saving foods to the disaster-stricken areas in time.

It is different in modern times. Although extreme climate has frequently occurred in recent years and brought many challenges to people, tragic situations such as losing lives due to hunger have almost disappeared.

Even if we unfortunately encounter a natural disaster that causes a large-scale reduction in food production, there is no need to panic or worry.

Because in this vast land, compatriots from all regions will step forward without hesitation and work together to overcome difficulties.

Some of them generously donated money and materials; others took action to contribute their strength. At the same time, the country will quickly organize and carry out effective rescue operations, gather the strength of all parties, and work together to provide assistance as quickly as possible.

In this way, no matter what difficulties and obstacles we face, we will surely be able to successfully overcome the difficulties and usher in a better tomorrow!
Listening to Emperor Wu of Han continuously introducing everything in the modern world, Emperor Jing of Han and Chao Cuo were increasingly shocked, and felt deeply moved.

"When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. This is a very good saying. The Han Dynasty needs to learn from future generations in all aspects!"

The sun shines on the wide road, and the traffic is bustling.

However, at this moment, an old, frail and haggard old man fell down without any warning, like a dead tree ravaged by a storm, and hit the hard and cold ground heavily.

His thin body trembled slightly, and he seemed to want to struggle to get up, but he was powerless.

There was an endless stream of people passing by, some in a hurry, some leisurely, but without exception they all ignored the old man lying on the ground. Some walked straight past him without even glancing at him; some paused for a moment, then quickened their pace and left quickly; some even deliberately took a detour, as if they were afraid of getting into any trouble.

These scenes made Emperor Jing of Han, who was standing aside, frown, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

In his own Han Dynasty, if someone accidentally fell, the people around him would lend a helping hand, help him up and show concern and greetings.

But now seeing this scene before their eyes, not only did no one come forward to help, but many people avoided it.

Emperor Jing of Han secretly thought: Could it be that this old man is infected with a serious disease that is contagious, so everyone is so panicked? Or is it that the customs here are very different from those in the Han Dynasty, and there are some reasons that I don't know?

Thinking of this, Emperor Jing of Han did not jump to conclusions. After all, people's behavioral concepts are bound to be different in different historical contexts.

He decided to continue observing to see if he could find the truth behind the matter.

So he turned around and asked softly the attendant beside him: "Xiao Zhu, what exactly caused this situation? Why do these passers-by keep their distance from the person who fell to the ground? Could it be that this person is really suffering from some terrible infectious disease?" His words revealed deep doubt and confusion, even a little worry, because infectious diseases were very scary in ancient times.

Chao Cuo frowned and said, "I know a little bit about medicine. The old man lying on the ground does seem to have some symptoms, but how did the people around him know that there was an infectious disease?"

Emperor Wu of Han had traveled to modern society more than once, but the situation he encountered this time was something he had never seen before.

At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little confused.

If this happened during the Han Dynasty, a group of enthusiastic people would immediately gather around and work together to send the injured to a doctor for treatment.

However, now, facing the old man lying on the ground, everyone seemed hesitant.

Zhu Ming shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly: "It's not actually an infectious disease, it's just that everyone is really scared."

Hearing this, the three men were stunned for a moment, then they turned their gaze back to the old man on the ground and asked in confusion: "If this is the case, then why should we be afraid?"

At this moment, Zhu Ming quickly took out his mobile phone and called the emergency number, and explained the situation on the scene in detail to the operator.

Fortunately, this town is not big. Not long after, a sharp and piercing siren sounded from far away, and an ambulance rushed to the scene at lightning speed.

The medical staff skillfully lifted the old man into the car and drove away in a hurry.

Looking at the ambulance going farther and farther away, Zhu Ming couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, you big men should never learn this."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing of Han frowned and asked in confusion, "Why can't I learn it? I really don't understand the reason."

Zhu Ming smiled bitterly and replied, "It's all because I'm worried about being blackmailed!"

Zhu Ming recounted in detail the famous case of "Why did you help if you didn't hit someone?", as well as several representative similar cases that have emerged on the Internet in recent years.

Hearing this, the three people present were dumbfounded. They could never have imagined that the reason behind the matter was like this!
If you meet a reasonable person, you are lucky, but if you meet an unreasonable person who insists that you were the one who hit the car, if there is no strong evidence such as surveillance, you will find it difficult to defend yourself no matter how many mouths you have.

Even if the truth eventually comes out, not to mention the huge amount of time spent investigating and collecting evidence during this period, for those who blackmail others, it is only a matter of saying "I didn't see it clearly at the time" or making a perfunctory apology to get away with it.

This illegal cost, which is so low that it is almost negligible, is simply a huge profit!
"If this happened in our Han Dynasty, and the county magistrate dared to judge the case in this way, I would definitely behead him and show him to the public! Regardless of the real cause of this case, the adverse impact it caused is indeed enormous." Emperor Wu of Han was shocked. "I never expected that the reason would be like this. Even if you told me that the man had an infectious disease, I would believe it."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I think that in this regard, we Han people should not follow suit. Otherwise, if I accidentally fall to the ground one day, I am afraid that no one will dare to step forward to lend a hand." Chao Cuo stroked his beard and felt that he needed to conduct further investigation and should not blindly learn everything from later generations.

Zhu Ming sighed slightly: "Now think about it, if it were you, would you dare to help?"

Emperor Jing of Han raised his chin and said, "Of course I dare!"

"You are an illegal resident here. Once your identity as an ancient person is discovered, you might be locked up in a small dark room by someone with ulterior motives for research." Zhu Ming reminded him.

Thinking of the treatment of the undocumented people in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of Han shook his head and said, "Alas, maybe I wouldn't dare to do that either."

Emperor Wu of Han shook his head quickly: "I know there are illegal residents here. I guess I would have to avoid them if I saw them. If you can't afford to offend them, can't you just hide from them?"

Chao Cuo looked at Zhu Ming in confusion: "Then why did you dare to call? Will you say, if you didn't touch it, why did you call?"

Zhu Ming smiled slightly: "You know, I am the boss of the largest group in the area. The group has a legal department with the most professional lawyers. If he dares to blackmail me, I will dare to sue him." (End of this chapter)
