Chapter 97: The Strange Deaths of Ancient Monarchs

In ancient times, when people saw the "muddy" moon, the filter they had for the moon in their hearts was instantly shattered.

This is completely different from what they imagined. This is a desolate world without Chang'e dancing, without Guanghan Palace twinkling, and without Jade Rabbit pounding medicine.

Tang Dynasty.

"How is this possible? How could there be no Guanghan Palace and no Chang'e fairy on the moon? Are all those myths and legends false?"

Yuchi Jingde was devastated. He thought there would be a beautiful lady on the moon, but there was nothing but stones, not even a hair.

"Alas, Chang'e, the Jade Rabbit is not here, so what are we looking forward to when we watch the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival? It turns out that our yearning for the moon is nothing but a wishful fantasy." Li Shimin also sighed and said.

"That's wrong. Although there are no fairies or palaces on the moon, it doesn't mean that the moon has lost its beauty. Look at the desolate surface, isn't it also a unique wonder?" Wei Zheng said.

"Forget it, your face looks as dull as Old Cheng's. What's so good about it? From now on, whoever of you wants to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival can do so. I won't." Yuchi Jingde was disdainful of Wei Zheng's words.

"Really?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

"It couldn't be more true!" Yuchi Jingde replied firmly.

"Then you won't come to my family to slaughter a cow during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Then... then you can pass!"

……

The sky screen is still playing.

【“Mozi” quantum science experimental satellite. 】

[The word "Mozi" can be said to be the leader of the Mohist school, or it can be said to come from the "Mo Jing"]

[The Mohist Classic is the first scripture to record the "pinhole imaging" experiment, and it is the first to scientifically explain the propagation of light in a straight line.]

[In 2016, my country's first quantum science experimental satellite "Micius" started its interstellar journey. It was named to commemorate the discovery of the scientific law that light travels in a straight line by Micius more than years ago.]

——"Our country is the first to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground."

——"Hmm... Although I am wrong, when I think of the three words 'Mozihao', I think of a hero whose second skill is a cannon."

[“Beidou” satellite positioning system. The word “Beidou” refers to the Big Dipper. ]

[The Big Dipper is a constellation that symbolizes light and direction. Since ancient times, it has been used by us to guide directions, distinguish seasons, and mark time.]

[Today, Beidou has connected hundreds of millions of terminal systems, and its positioning on mobile phone maps can be accurate to within 1 meter.]

[The Milky Way is endless, and the Big Dipper is guiding the way]

[Although people today and in the past still look up at the same starry sky, the "Big Dipper" has changed. ]

——"The Galaxy is a pain that can never be forgotten!"

——"What kind of mobile phones can use Beidou?"

——"Beidou is really amazing. My house took up a little more space. The bricks and stones were laid in the morning, and the people came at noon. (Covering face)"

——"I would like to give you some knowledge about the Big Dipper. You can use it to tell the direction even without a cell phone. The handle of the Big Dipper points east in spring, south in summer, west in autumn and north in winter."

——"I've given up on learning. Let me ask you, what should I do if there are no stars on a rainy day?"

——"Without stars, you will die!"

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng muttered to himself: "Beidou? It seems that this thing should be used to guide the direction."

"No wonder Miss Luo never gets lost wherever she goes. Even when she goes to a foreign place, she doesn't need to ask others. It turns out there is such a treasure."

"If only our Great Qin could have this treasure, it would make those overseas barbarians have nowhere to hide!"

……

【“Xihe” solar exploration satellite. 】

[The word "Xihe" is taken from "following Xihe's example of riding the celestial horse and aiming to herd the stars in the sky", symbolizing that this is the origin and expansion of China's exploration of the sun. ]

[At the same time, "Xihe" is also the goddess of the sun in ancient Chinese mythology, and is often called the mother of the sun. The Xihe has verified China's "sun exploration" technology and gave birth to China's "sun exploration" era. ]

——"Is Xihe the one who gave birth to ten little golden crows?"

——"It was her. She was the wife of Emperor Jun. She gave birth to ten suns that hung on the Fusang tree. Later, Dayi killed nine of them."

【“Wukong” dark matter detector. 】

[The name "Wukong" is definitely familiar to everyone, it is taken from the name of the Monkey King in "Journey to the West". ]

[Like the Monkey King, the "Wukong" has a pair of sharp eyes that can detect traces of dark matter in the vast space.]

[At the same time, the name "Wukong" also fits its work. "Wu" means to comprehend and explore, and "Kong" refers to space and invisible dark matter. The word "Wukong" embodies our desire to comprehend the mysteries of the universe through the "Wukong".]

——"Judging from the popularity of Black Myth: Wukong, this monkey is the real top star. He can be seen in everyone from individuals to countries."

——"I don't blame you for calling me a monkey in the comment section, but what should you call me outside?"

——"Great... Great Sage."

[In fact, there are more than just these names, there are also the "Zhurong" Mars rover, the "Hongyan" global satellite constellation communication system, etc. 】

[Chinese astronauts have placed their hopes of exploring the universe and traveling the stars in the names of their spacecraft.]

[These poetic names will eventually move into the more distant space as our technology advances.]

……

Qing Dynasty.

The envy in Qianlong's eyes was almost overflowing.

Why are there so many strange and interesting things in later life? If you are not satisfied with strolling on the ground, you can also stroll in the sky and outer space.

The temptation for him, a travel expert, is no different from a fisherman coming across a great pond.

"Your Majesty, how about we go to Jiangnan for some fun?" Heshen saw that Qianlong was feeling a little "itchy", no, his feet were itchy.

Qianlong was quite tempted, but when he thought about the many things he had to supervise recently, he could only refuse with reluctance.

"Forget it, it's not interesting. Future generations can reach the moon in the sky, but I'm still just riding in a carriage to the south of the Yangtze River. It's boring just thinking about it." Qianlong said stubbornly.

"Your Majesty is really..."

Just when Heshen was about to offer some flattery, the screen suddenly turned and the next video started playing.

[A list of the most ridiculous deaths of monarchs in history. An interesting historical fact about the emperor]

[In ancient times, there was such a profession, with an abnormal mortality rate of 44%, and a probability of not living to the age of 40 as high as 50%, but it still attracted countless heroes to compete for the position. Guess what profession it was? ]

[Yes, I am talking about the emperor. Although the emperor's job seems glamorous, it is actually not easy to be one. If you are not careful, you may die without a burial place, be dismembered, beheaded, assassinated, poisoned, etc.]

[However, the above-mentioned ways of death are still considered normal. Today, let’s take stock of those cases where seemingly noble monarchs died in extremely outrageous ways. ]

Just a few words immediately attracted the attention of the ancient people.

Ordinary people were curious about how those high-ranking emperors died, which was worthy of Tianmu's description of as "outrageous".

However, those emperors were somewhat worried as to whether their names would be among the people counted by Tianmu.

[1. Duke Jing of Jin: Ji Ru.]

[You may not be familiar with this person, but if you mention the famous "Zhao Orphan" case in history, you will definitely have some impression of him. He was the one who handled this case.]

[In his later years, Duke Jing of Jin suffered from many illnesses, so he was always worried about his health. So he asked a fortune teller to predict his future fate.]

[The master was also an honest man, and had not yet learned the ability of modern fortune tellers to talk nonsense, so he risked his head to tell Duke Jing of Jin that he would not be able to eat the wheat that matured the next year.]

[When Duke Jing of Jin heard this, he was both angry and a little frightened. He believed in divination, but he didn't want to agree with the result. From then on, Duke Jing of Jin had been holding back his energy and living cautiously.]

——"It's obvious that this master is not as good as the Taoist master in the Taoist temple. I went to our Taoist temple on the mountain to draw lots. I drew a bad lot. The Taoist master saw it and asked me to draw again. I drew bad lots four or five times in a row. The Taoist master was so angry that he directly gave me a good lot and told me not to worry about any consequences. He would take care of it."

——"Hahaha, the lottery box in my gym is full of top-notch lottery tickets, medium-top-notch lottery tickets, and the worst one is a medium-medium lottery ticket. (Covering face)"

[In this way, time soon came to the second year when the wheat was ripe. When Duke Jing of Jin saw the ripe wheat being cooked in a bowl, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.]

[So he ordered someone to call the fortune teller and prepare to give him a live eating show to give him a good slap in the face, and then punish him for dereliction of duty. ]

[However, just as Duke Jing of Jin was about to pick up his bowl to eat, he suddenly felt a bloating in his stomach, so he hurried to the toilet, but he missed a step and fell into the pit, where he was drowned.]

——"That's good. At least I'm full and not hungry, right?"

——"Huh? Didn't he go to the bathroom without eating? Ugh, I get it!"

——"You know what, this fortune teller has some stuff."

——"Zuo Zhuan: When he was about to eat, he vomited and went to the toilet. He fell down and died. I laughed to death when I saw this. If I were him, I would eat a mouthful of food before going to the toilet."

——"It's over. After watching this video, I will never dare to use the dry toilet when I go back to my hometown."

Three Kingdoms.

Although Zhang Fei is not very smart, he has an extremely rich imagination.

At this moment, his mind involuntarily emerged the tragic scene of Duke Jing of Jin accidentally falling into a pit and then being drowned bit by bit.

Zhang Fei shook his head desperately, trying to dispel the image in his mind, but the more he wanted to forget, the clearer the image became.

Finally, he couldn't help but began to dry heave: "Wow~ Ugh! Ugh!"

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei with curiosity. It was always his third brother who disgusted others, but this was the first time he saw him being disgusted.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but reveal a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Third brother, when Duke Jing of Jin fell, did he call for help?"

Guan Yu also joked: "According to common sense, he would definitely shout for help in order to survive."

Zhuge Liang also joined in the teasing: "Hiss~ Doesn't that mean he should open his mouth wide and call for help?"

"You guys... I vomit!"

These few words made the images in Zhang Fei's mind more vivid. He seemed to hear a "gurgling" sound and a vague feeling of suffocation. He was originally dry heaving, but now he started to vomit violently.

……

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Jing of Jin was stunned at this moment.

He...fell into a pit and drowned?

Isn't this way of dying so damn embarrassing?

After being hit by Tianmu like this, doesn't it mean that everyone in time and space knows how he died?

It's a disgrace to future generations!

Duke Jing of Jin, who had been trying desperately to survive, suddenly felt that there was no point in living and it would be better to choose a decent death.

But he quickly came to his senses and realized something was wrong. He lived in a royal palace!

How could there be a pit toilet in the palace that could drown a person! Even if there was, the pit toilets in the palace were cleaned regularly, so the amount of feces would definitely not drown him!
