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

"Zigan, the Han Dynasty is doomed."

In prison.

Liu Yu's tone was low.

He couldn't have imagined it.

The once mighty Han Dynasty has now fallen to such a state.

Back when he left Luoyang, the Han Dynasty was still a powerful and well-equipped army, and the streets were bustling with people.

While not everyone is wealthy, most people certainly don't lack food to eat.

But now?

Countless people had no way to survive and were forced to raise the banner of rebellion to overthrow the dynasty that made it impossible for them to live!

Furthermore, there were treacherous officials in the court who, instead of trying to win back the people's hearts, completely pushed the people to the opposite side under the pressure from Xiang Yu.

Throughout history, which dynasty has ever stood firm after completely losing the hearts of the people?

"Yes, the Han Dynasty is doomed."

"The calamity of national destruction is imminent, yet His Majesty is still single-mindedly indulging in pleasure, with revelry in the palace every night and corpses strewn across the fields. How can such a great Han dynasty not perish?"

Lu Zhi had been kneeling outside the palace for several days, so he was naturally more aware of what had happened.

“Bo’an, you shouldn’t have come back. If Luoyang had been captured, you might have had a chance to restore the Han Dynasty if you had stayed in Youzhou. Now that you are a prisoner, you really can’t do anything.”

Luoyang cannot be defended!

For a short time, Xiang Yu might still be wary of the people on the city walls and the feudal lords outside Sishui Pass.

But as time went on, even without Xiang Yu taking many actions, riots would naturally break out in Luoyang!

Once the people realize that they have no way to survive, they will naturally pick up everything they can to fight for their own survival!

"To restore the Han dynasty?"

Liu Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He thought the same thing before today.

But after today, he felt that it was better for the Han dynasty to perish.

"Should we restore the Han dynasty, and then continue to let people like the Ten Attendants, He Jin, and those aristocratic families bleed the people dry?"

"Are we filled with ambition just so that they can live a more extravagant life?"

“Zigan, I suddenly feel that Huangfu Song’s choice might be the right one.”

"The Yellow Turbans might truly bring a completely different world to the people!"

The more Liu Yu spoke, the more he gritted his teeth.

By the end, he was almost about to burst into a tirade of profanities.

Lu Zhi quickly reached out and covered his mouth.

"Are you out of your mind? If outsiders hear this, you'll be beheaded by tomorrow!"

Liu Hong's statement in the palace that he would execute the two men was perhaps just an angry outburst.

But if Liu Yu's words get out, he'll be dead if he doesn't die!

"Beheading? When have I ever been afraid of death?"

"I'm only afraid of dying in vain!"

Liu Yu broke free, his eyes bloodshot.

"Did you know? The youngest one tied to the city wall was only five or six years old!"

"If they can do that to such young children, what else are they incapable of!"

Five or six-year-old children...

Lu Zhi did not witness firsthand that when he went up the city wall to negotiate with Xiang Yu, the common people were not bound, and most of them were young and strong men.

At the time, he only considered it a last resort.

But the truth I've learned from Liu Yu is completely different!

"Your Majesty, if you have a spirit in heaven, open your eyes and see how absurd His Majesty is now!"

Lu Zhi was too exhausted to say anything more.

Everything the court did filled him with utter despair!

The two of them just sat there staring at each other, laughing and crying at the same time.

Their long-held ideals have been shattered!

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Yu heard voices outside and realized it was the jailer bringing food. He slowly stood up.

"Zigan, I'm leaving."

"After all, I am a member of the Han imperial family, and I must do something for this corrupt Han dynasty."

"If even my blood cannot wash away the absurdity of the court, then it can only be said that the Han Dynasty deserves to perish!"

"Guards! I have urgent news to report to His Majesty. It concerns the army of the feudal lords who came to the aid of the king. Take me to His Majesty immediately!"

Huangfu Song's attempts to persuade Liu Yu to surrender were futile from the very beginning.

He was a member of the Han imperial family, and his ancestors had benefited from the Han dynasty for generations.

No matter how absurd His Majesty is, he could never side with the rebels!

There was little he could do but die!

A moment later, someone came and took Liu Yu away.

Looking at his retreating figure, Lu Zhi felt a pang of sorrow.

If all the ministers in the court were like Liu Yu, how could the Han Dynasty not prosper!

The Han Dynasty has never lacked loyal ministers and capable generals, but the current emperor has never looked at them!

Outside the prison.

The person who came to pick up Liu Yu was Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Attendants.

Upon seeing Liu Yu being brought out, he greeted him with a smile.

"Liu Bo'an has suffered. His Majesty was in a fit of anger and hastily imprisoned you."

“These past few days, His Majesty has begun to regret his actions. After all, you are a member of the Han imperial family; how can you suffer this punishment?”

"Today, a banquet has been prepared in the palace, and I have been specially ordered to come and fetch Bo'an back to the palace to welcome him back and wash away the dust of his journey."

Looking at Zhang Rang's beaming smile, Liu Yu just wanted to punch him twice.

The head of the Ten Attendants!

Unbridled greed.

Countless people have died because of him over the years!

But he still held back.

He wanted to take down more than just Zhang Rang!

"Please lead the way, Your Excellency."

Liu Yu got into the carriage and drove through the streets.

It seems even more desolate than it did a few days ago.

There was no human voice, no sign of life; it was like a dead city.

"Bo'an, there's no need for such sentimentality."

Seeing through Liu Yu's gaze, Zhang Rang simply smiled and said...

"The current situation forces us to use those lowly people to defend the city and threaten Xiang Ji. Once we get through this difficult time, more lowly people will naturally flock to Luoyang."

"At that time, Luoyang will only be more bustling than before."

"After all, the one thing this world has in abundance is the lowly."

They keep calling people "lowly people."

Liu Yu did not answer, but simply lowered the curtain and looked down.

He was afraid that if he looked up, Zhang Rang would see his undisguised murderous intent!

Untouchables?

Is there anyone in this world more despicable than you, a eunuch?

Those are all subjects of my great Han Dynasty!

After what seemed like an eternity of jolting in the carriage, it became quite noisy outside.

The closer they got to the palace, the more chaotic the surrounding sounds became, with screams and curses mixed in with the noise.

Liu Yu suddenly looked up at Zhang Rang.

"What are you guys doing?"

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Rang just gave a cold smile.

"What are we doing? Just dealing with some uncooperative trash."

"It should be their honor to make some sacrifices for the court, but who knew that these lowly people would be so ungrateful as to want to file a complaint with the emperor."

"To avoid frightening His Majesty, we servants have no choice but to suppress them ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu hurriedly got out of the car, but what he saw terrified him.

Countless unarmed civilians were being chased by armored soldiers.

Many people died with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They initially believed that treacherous officials had deceived the emperor, which was why they had the executioners arrest them and take them to the city wall.

Who would have thought that the instigator was none other than their own emperor!

"How could this be? How could this be!"
