The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

The Ming Dynasty.

"It's not surprising that Liu Shan is on this list."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"It's just a pity for Zhuge Liang. He had extraordinary talent, but he couldn't cook without rice."

"Zhongba, if you were in Liu Shan's position, could you have done better?"

Empress Ma thought for a moment and asked.

She suddenly remembered the challenge mentioned in the subtitles!

"Girl, you look down on us? When it comes to the Northern Expedition, we're the professionals!"

"If we were in Liu Shan's position, there wouldn't have been the Three Kingdoms being unified under the Jin Dynasty. We would have crushed that old bastard Sima Yi long ago!"

Are you kidding me? Was Cao Wei really that strong? How did it compare to the Mongol Yuan dynasty?

Was Sun Wu really that powerful? How did he compare to Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng?

His situation back then was not even slightly better than that of Shu Han!

Girl, do you know what it means to start with just a bowl?

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to boast, a voice came from the sky.

Liu Shan could be described as an incapable ruler, or as someone born in the wrong era.

If he had been born in a peaceful, unified dynasty, he might have been a passable ruler who could maintain the status quo. Unfortunately, he was born in the Three Kingdoms period.

After Emperor Zhaolie of Han passed away, Liu Shan succeeded to the throne.

After ascending the throne, Liu Shan indulged in eating, drinking, and merrymaking every day, delegating all affairs of the court to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.

It is commonly said that Cao Cao was the most powerful prime minister during the Three Kingdoms period, but this is not the case. Zhuge Liang's power was even greater.

However, this was not the power that Zhuge Liang desired; he hoped that Liu Shan, the later ruler, would establish himself as emperor.

Unfortunately, Liu Shan favored eunuchs, befriended sycophants while distancing himself from virtuous ministers, and rarely participated in government affairs.

Each intervention, while not exactly a stroke of genius, was more of a detrimental one.

The heavy workload of military and political affairs quickly took a toll on Zhuge Liang's health, and he passed away at the age of fifty-four during his sixth expedition to Qishan.

"Damn it, shouldn't this Shu Han have some connection with my great Han Dynasty?"

Enraged, Liu Bang kicked over the table in front of him.

"To delegate all power to my ministers—is this something my descendants would do?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Zhuge Liang seems to be a loyal and virtuous minister. Delegating power to him should not be a big problem."

Xiao He quickly offered his advice.

In peaceful times, if one encounters a wise minister, doing this would actually be a good thing.

However, the Three Kingdoms period in the Tianmu Text refers to a time when the world was divided.

In this situation, mediocrity is tantamount to incompetence!

After Zhuge Liang's death, military power in Shu Han fell into the hands of Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei's military talent was also quite good. It was just a pity that Liu Shan favored the eunuch Huang Hao, who was at odds with Jiang Wei. In the end, Jiang Wei was forced to stay away from the capital and farm in the countryside.

The next four prime ministers died one after another, and Huang Hao won over important officials in the court, to the point that no one could stop him.

On the eve of the fall of Shu Han, Jiang Wei wrote to Liu Shan, requesting that troops be sent to guard Yang'an Pass to defend against the Wei army. However, Huang Hao, relying on the theory of ghosts and witches, predicted that the Wei army would not attack, so the request was dropped.

As expected, the Wei army followed this route into Shu. Wei general Deng Ai marched straight to Chengdu, the heart of the city. While his subjects were still fighting to the death, the emperor had already surrendered!

"Useless! Utterly useless!"

"Every time I hear about the deeds of Liu Shan, the last emperor of Shu Han, I become furious!"

"It's just a pity for Zhuge Liang; all his life's work was ruined by this good-for-nothing!"

Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly upon hearing this.

Throughout history, he has admired few people, but Zhuge Liang is definitely one of them!

If such a person could be under his command, the Tang Dynasty's golden age would surely reach even greater heights!

Unfortunately, a pearl is cast before swine!

Most dynasties were considered to have perished when their ruler died or surrendered, but Shu Han was different.

After Liu Shan surrendered, Jiang Wei devised a final plan. He feigned surrender to Zhong Hui, intending to use Zhong Hui's rebellion against Sima Zhao as an opportunity to restore the Han Dynasty!

At the same time, a picture appeared in the sky.

"Please don't worry, everyone. Although the last emperor has surrendered, I have a plan that can restore the Han dynasty from obscurity!"

Even in his old age, Jiang Wei's gaze remained as firm as iron.

[One plan harmed three virtuous men. Jiang Wei's plan killed Deng Ai, killed Zhong Hui, and also killed himself.]

He failed to instigate unrest or restore the Han dynasty, but his loyalty is as clear as day!

He never met Emperor Zhaolie, yet he dedicated his life to the emperor's ideals.

Jiang Wei died, and Shu Han perished.

"My plan failed; it is fate."

In the scene depicted on the sky, Jiang Wei commits suicide.

At the same time, a sudden downpour began.

Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Ying Zheng, and others were all deeply moved.

With such loyal ministers and capable generals, why didn't Shu Han prosper!

Could it really be destiny?

"Is Heaven truly determined to destroy our Han dynasty?"

In Baidi City, Liu Bei wept bitterly.

After Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun were all considered wise ministers, and there were also brave generals like Jiang Wei.

In the end, it all ended up like this.

"Your Majesty, I will do my utmost to salvage the situation and prevent such an outcome from happening again!"

Zhuge Liang quickly offered his comfort.

Liu Bei's health is truly no longer able to withstand any more strain.

"Kongming, I can only trust you."

Although Liu Shan was not too incompetent, he was too mediocre and indulged in pleasure.

Punishment: From this day forward, whenever you indulge in pleasure, you will experience excruciating pain!

Liu Shan: "Huh? No way!"

The Han Dynasty.

Seeing the punishment imposed on Liu Shan, Liu Bang had no objections whatsoever.

He was just thinking about something else.

"Do you think it's possible that Zhuge Liang deliberately sidelined Liu Shan, leaving him with no real power, so he could only indulge in eating, drinking, and merrymaking?"

As an emperor, which one would want a subject to oppress them?

Surprisingly, Liu Bang's words became a barrage of comments, appearing simultaneously on the screen.

"Ok?"

"Who dared to say such a thing? How dare they slander Zhuge Liang!"

Li Shimin was furious when he saw this.

This is the kind of minister that every emperor would covet!

His words also flashed across the sky.

"That's right, Zhuge Liang was born in the wrong era. If he had been born in our Ming Dynasty, he would definitely have been a famous prime minister for all time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.

Immediately afterwards, the images on the sky changed again.

Liu Shan's honest and simple appearance appears in it.

[Given your skepticism and judgment, we are now initiating an interview session to allow Liu Shan himself to answer your questions.]

A hint of fear appeared on Liu Shan's simple and honest face.

"I will answer whatever the immortal asks, and I promise I will not hide anything!"

"But could this punishment be changed..."

No.

The words that flashed across the sky filled Liu Shan with despair.

If we can no longer have fun, what's the point of living?

"I'm asking you, is it because Zhuge Liang wields absolute power that you can't take control, which is why you're only focused on having fun!"

Liu Bang didn't care what others thought.

He only trusts his own judgment!

"No, no, my father has always been teaching me how to handle government affairs."

"However, I am very relieved that the Prime Minister is handling the political affairs; he is very capable."

Liu Shan was unaware that the person asking this question was his ancestor.

Of course, even if you knew, the answer wouldn't be different.

After all, Liu Shan's main selling point was honesty.

Little did he know that Liu Bang on the other side was almost choked to death by those words.

"Aren't you afraid he'll seize power and usurp the throne if you indulge your ministers like this?!"

"Usurpation?"

Liu Shan thought for a moment.

“He is my father-in-law. Even after he usurps the throne, I will still be the crown prince. I am not afraid.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Bang slowly typed a question mark.

Along with the emperors of all dynasties, including Zhuge Liang himself, a question mark was also added.

What kind of brain circuit is this?
