After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

[The relationship between grandfather and grandson, haha, that's definitely true.]

[Yes, there are always people who see those elaborate hairstyles or clothes and say they're from an island nation, but they forget that Chinese culture has a long and rich history. Didn't our ancestors try everything over five thousand years?]

[It all comes down to the damned Qing Dynasty's policy of keeping the people ignorant. Before the Ming Dynasty, many people in China were literate, but under the Qing Dynasty, only a few million out of hundreds of millions were literate; the literacy rate plummeted.]

[The Qing Dynasty was afraid of being overthrown, after all, how many people were in those Manchu and Mongol Eight Banners? How many Han Chinese were there? Typical wild boar skin from beyond the Great Wall, so petty.]

[Qingqing, would you like to talk about the nickname "Wild Boar Skin"?]

……

"Since everyone is interested, we can also insert a brief note: Wild Boar Skin was the nickname of Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

"Nurhaci's father and grandfather were among those who received titles from the Ming court, and he himself was appointed as the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, enjoying the deep trust of the court. Later, he started an army with the thirteen pieces of armor left by his father."

"The reason it is called 'wild boar skin' is related to its meaning in the Manchu language."

"Because Nurhaci's name sounds similar to 'wild boar skin' in Manchu, and wild boar skin symbolizes 'bravery and resilience' in Manchu, Nurhaci's nickname became 'wild boar skin.'"

[I thought this nickname was derogatory, referring to the barbarians outside the Great Wall at that time.]

[Ahem, I am a barbarian from beyond the Great Wall.]

[I always see Ningguta in TV dramas. Well, I was born in Ningguta, so I went straight to the end.]

[It's alright, the Qin Dynasty always attacked my hometown, I'm from Baiyue.]

[Back then, when I read about Yue Fei's resistance against the Jin dynasty, I even shed tears. It turns out Yue Fei was fighting against my hometown.]

……

The scene of ethnic integration under the sky, where everyone happily jokes about their hometowns, is something that has never been seen before in so many times and spaces.

The thought that the Xiongnu people, with whom he was now fighting to the death, would one day become sworn brothers with the Han people filled Liu Che with mixed feelings.

Wei Qing had already been promoted ahead of him, but Wei Qing was humble, cautious, and diligent, which pleased Liu Che. It was just that Huo Qubing, mentioned on the screen, was still too young.

Even a child can see that this person is a gem, and this gem must be carefully crafted.

It would be great if Tianmu could talk more about Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's achievements, or even about his own future deeds.

Emperor Wu of Han also wanted to know why he was called Emperor Wu of Han!

Other times and spaces under the sky, especially those dynasties that fought against nomadic peoples such as the Liao, Turks, or Baiyue, all felt a bit strange, but the fighting still had to continue.

These barbarians have always been fearful of power but not grateful. I wonder how later generations dealt with them, making them live in harmony as if they were truly one family.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, however, astutely deduced from the fragments in the sky that the Ming Dynasty did not continue into later generations, but rather that a small Manchu tribe entered the pass and was then criticized by later generations for damaging Chinese culture.

That damned wild boar hide dares to have the ambition to devour the world?

check!

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty all began to investigate whether there was such a person as Nurhaci.

When Nurhaci saw himself depicted on the sky, he sensed impending doom and abandoned everything else, grabbing his weapons and fleeing immediately.

But he could see the sky, and so could others. The soldiers and officers in the same area as him were not completely subdued by him, and they were now rushing towards him.

"So, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, it was another dynasty ruled by the Tatars?" Zhu Yuanzhang slammed his hand on the dragon throne, his imposing aura radiating power. "Fourth Prince, you have raised such a fine descendant, yet you have ruined our Great Ming! Issue an order that all future emperors must find this man named 'Nurhaci'."

He said he had found them, but no one knew what he meant: kill them all without mercy, not just Nurhaci, but also all the Tatars from beyond the Great Wall.

Not content with just that, Zhu Yuanzhang added several more points to his ancestral precepts.

Many Ming emperors began searching for Nurhaci, and after the Wanli Emperor, they found him and, naturally, killed him without mercy.

Qing Dynasty

As Kangxi looked at the words of later generations on the sky, which subtly revealed their contempt for the Qing Dynasty, he frowned deeply.

Especially with this overarching threat, it's destined that the suppression won't last long before the people's wisdom is awakened.

But he also believed that the Eight Banners troops under his command were still capable of fighting, so he was not afraid. Moreover, he had captured Oboi, suppressed the Three Feudatories, and taken over Taiwan. The whole world was in awe of him, so why should he be afraid of these things?

"Yinreng, if it were you, what would you do?"

Yinreng was secretly delighted, completely unaware that he would be the crown prince for decades. He cupped his hands and said, "Father, I will naturally treat everyone justly, just as you would treat the Manchus and Han Chinese as one."

This answer satisfied Kangxi, but not entirely.

If we truly regard the Manchus and Han Chinese as one and treat them fairly, then what about the Eight Banners descendants who followed the Manchus into the Central Plains?

These Han people number in the tens of thousands; they can rise up at a single call. How should the Manchu and Mongol Eight Banners then conduct themselves?

"Yinreng, everything in this world is about balance. Sometimes, balance is more important than directly granting power and status," Kangxi said deeply.

Yongzheng gazed calmly at the sky, his expression indifferent. Enlightening the people would not be a simple matter, so Yongzheng was fearless.

Emperor Qianlong laughed heartily, "In this world, I have ensured that all people are well-fed and watered, which is a prosperous age. I am an accomplished emperor and will surely be a great emperor. How could the people have any complaints against me?"

"Your Majesty is surely a great emperor throughout the ages. Both Manchus and Han Chinese praise him and are fortunate to be your subjects. How could anyone be so blind?" Heshen said with a smile. Despite his handsome face, he spoke such flattering words without being vulgar at all.

Hearing this pleased Emperor Qianlong, and he subconsciously ignored many things, still waiting here for the heavens to review his great achievements.

Many dynasties have now appeared above the sky, and the general order of these dynasties has been figured out by many courts below the sky.

Anyway, it goes from Qin to Han, then Eastern Han and Western Han, then the Three Kingdoms, then something else, then the Sui Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty, then another period of chaos, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, then the Song Dynasty, then the Yuan Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty, then the Qing Dynasty.

After the Qing Dynasty, it was very close to the later dynasties. Does that mean that the Qing Dynasty ruled the later dynasties forever?

But if it was the Qing Dynasty that ruled, why do these later generations not respect the Qing emperors so much? Even if it was the Tatars who entered the pass, they were still emperors!

But no matter which emperor it was, they seemed to always be the subject of conversation.

That feeling made the emperor, who was receiving the adoration of his people, quite uncomfortable.
