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

Zhang Jiao raised his arm and called out, gathering millions of believers!

Even he himself hadn't expected this.

His influence is terrifying!

Standing on the high platform, all I could see were faces with yellow turbans tied around their arms.

Among these people were many elderly people, children, and even women.

The Yellow Turban Army accepted all who came.

Even now, Zhang Jiao has not forgotten his original intention.

Save people!

Even if this action would lead to the deaths of many people, he was certain that if he did not do so and allowed the court to slowly boil the frog in water, even more people would die!

Standing on the high platform, Zhang Jiao looked down at the crowd below and finally let out a long-held pent-up frustration.

Since this world won't give them a way to survive, then I, Zhang Jiao, will fight for them a way to survive!

"Brother, it's time to issue a proclamation."

Zhang Bao reminded him from the side.

A manifesto?

Yes, a manifesto is necessary.

When there is a legitimate reason for the action.

And he did indeed have some things he needed to say!

"The Azure Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

"The year of Jiazi (甲子) is associated with water, a sign that the Han dynasty is about to perish!"

"The Three Dukes will appear, leading the Great Way and standing tall in the Yellow Heaven!"

"Heaven, Earth, and Man, with their profound virtue, drive away evil spirits!"

"I offer myself as medicine, hoping to cure the diseases of the world!"

"Unite the people of the nine provinces, and shake the royal court of one family!"

"The poor man Zhang Jiao asks the big man to die!"

Please, great man, prepare to die!

Beyond the sky.

Even Liu Bang was thrilled by what he heard.

"Well said! Let the great man go to his death and rebel against the bastards!"

He no longer cared that Zhang Jiao was rebelling against his own Han Dynasty.

After reviewing this much, he himself felt that the Han Dynasty deserved to perish!

If he had been born in the era of reckoning, he would have rebelled just the same way!

As chaos ensued, the imperial court immediately dispatched troops to suppress it.

However, this rebellion was completely different from any rebellion that anyone had previously imagined.

In the past, rebellions always started small and grew gradually, with the rebels increasing their numbers and strength step by step. In this process, they could easily be scattered or even directly suppressed!

But as soon as the Yellow Turban Army's reputation reached the imperial court, they already had hundreds of thousands of troops!

In the eyes of the officers and soldiers, these rebels who helped the Yellow Turbans were not only numerous, but also seemed to be unaware of pain and fear.

Whenever they tied the yellow turbans on their arms to their heads, no matter how many enemies were in front of them, they could not be stopped!

A series of victories!

The Yellow Turban Army conquered cities and seized territories, and for a time its power was unparalleled, and no one could stop it!

The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, and the age of Jiazi will bring good luck to the world!

Every place this slogan was shouted into was conquered.

Countless people condemned Zhang Jiao as a traitor, yet fled immediately upon hearing that the Yellow Turban army was about to attack.

At this rate, the crumbling Han Dynasty won't last much longer!

However, in the same year, Zhang Jiao fell seriously ill and never recovered.

It seems as if fate truly has its own plan.

Zhang Jiao sacrificed himself as medicine, thus severing the remaining decades of the Han Dynasty's national fortune. Now, the backlash has already begun.

It was clearly just a minor cold, yet the Zhang brothers' medical skills were completely ineffective against it.

Zhang Bao and his companion could only watch helplessly as Zhang Jiao grew weaker day by day.

Is this really karma?

A few days later, Zhang Jiao became so weak that he could hardly get up and could only lie in bed, quietly looking out the window.

Zhang Bao stayed by his side the whole time.

The scene seemed to freeze at that moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Jiao suddenly spoke.

"Chonghuan, I'm going to die."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bao trembled, but he remained silent.

He knew that Zhang Jiao must still have something to say.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Jiao continued to speak.

"Everyone outside calls the Yellow Turbans thieves, but you must remember that we are not thieves and must not do thieves' things."

"What I seek in this life is neither wealth nor immortality..."

"My only wish is for peace to prevail throughout the world."

The voice grew weaker and weaker until it was finally inaudible.

His eyes were filled with resentment.

The faith of all the followers of the Way of Peace rested on him alone. He knew that if he died, the Yellow Turban Army would be like a group of dragons without a leader.

The peace he longed for is probably out of reach.

Zhang Jiao considered himself extremely greedy, more so than anyone else in the world.

Even the most greedy ordinary people only seek personal wealth, honor, and a life free from worries about food and clothing.

But he hoped that all the people in the world could live without worrying about food and clothing.

In the scene depicted on the sky.

Zhang Jiao's eyes gradually lost their luster.

he died.

He died in the year the Yellow Turban Rebellion was just beginning.

The screen suddenly went dark, and the subtitles reappeared.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion exposed the last fig leaf covering the Han Dynasty.

This made everyone truly see the weakness of the imperial court and the incompetence of Liu Hong.

The use of eunuchs to check and balance the civil official group resulted in the Ten Attendants controlling the government.

During his reign, he was licentious and immoral. In order to facilitate his lust, he deliberately forbade palace maids from wearing trousers, just so that he could have pleasure at any time.

When plagues ravaged the land and people were suffering everywhere, Liu Hong did not allocate silver for disaster relief. Instead, he increased taxes and even openly sold official positions at fixed prices, all to build more beautiful palaces for himself.

Until the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, he abolished the provincial system and established a system of governors in order to quell the rebellion, thus laying an unbreakable foundation for the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Penalty: The chosen challenger will be responsible for imposing the punishment!

The video is supposed to be a review of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, but he doesn't appear in the video.

This sky screen depicts the tragic plight of ordinary people at the end of the Han Dynasty from a very small perspective.

Even without a specific and detailed description of Liu Hong's absurdity, everyone still had a clear understanding of him.

[The review is complete; this challenge is now available.]

Option 1: Replace Liu Hong and restore the Han Dynasty!

Option Two: Overthrow this absurd dynasty and end this era of misery!

Note: During the respective dynasties' existence, you can choose any one person to accompany you. If the challenge is successful, the chosen person will receive half of the reward.

Note: This will not affect the current historical process. Everything the challenger does will occur in a parallel universe.

Successfully choosing one challenge will be rewarded with: twenty years of lifespan and five years of favorable weather for the nation.

Successfully completing challenge option two will be rewarded with: fifty years of lifespan and twenty years of favorable weather for the nation.

Challenge failed, penalty: same as Liu Hong.

choose?

Li Er narrowed his eyes slightly.

Children make choices, adults...

Oh, these two options conflict. Never mind then.

He signed up without hesitation.

Although the option to not bring your own troops is not allowed in this challenge, that doesn't matter!

Most importantly, the rewards are enticing enough!

A lifespan of fifty years, and twenty years of good weather and abundant harvests for the country to which the person belongs!

This is something no emperor could refuse!

As for option one, it was directly ruled out by the vast majority of emperors.

Aside from the smaller reward, replacing Liu Hong would mean that the incompetent ruler could not be punished.

Zhu Yuanzhang, in particular, said he absolutely could not accept this possibility!

To deal with such a tyrannical ruler, one should skin him alive, inch by inch, and let him taste the excruciating pain of having his heart ripped out!
