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

Chapter 4 Historical Mysteries - The Shadow of the Axe and the Candle 1

(This article leans towards the belief that the story of the axe flashing and candlelight flickering did indeed happen.)

Zhu Qinggu was unaware that she came to this live streaming website because a system that had unintentionally bound her to it lured her here through big data; the streamers and the interactive viewers were all fake.

The entire website is dedicated to serving only her.

The first video was made by Zhu Qinggu to get used to it and test the waters. She also planned to see the feedback and make targeted corrections to her shortcomings and mistakes.

Writing the script, finding information, and rehearsing all take time. She plans to start the next live stream in three days, and if the response is good, she will broadcast it every two days or even once a day.

The next day, she saw her share of the live stream revenue, which had over 100,000 views, along with numerous comments and suggestions. Her share of yesterday's revenue also appeared in her inbox quickly, amounting to over 500 yuan, but she could only withdraw it after signing a contract.

She signed the contract immediately, and was really happy to hear the money arrive in her account. She also carefully noted down the shortcomings and suggestions in the comments section, intending to make corrections.

I had no idea that the comments below were all bots.

The system wanted to communicate with her, but it was currently low on power. After barely completing these tasks, it automatically went into hibernation, leaving only an auxiliary AI module executing the system's pre-set operations.

Only when Zhu Qinggu has collected enough energy and the system awakens will she be able to communicate with her.

……

Three days later, Zhu Qinggu started broadcasting as scheduled.

The sky stirred again, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

The canopy allowed them to understand what would happen later; if the canopy disappeared, they would truly be completely blind to many things.

"Good morning everyone, I'm your fun history narrator Zhu Qinggu! I saw the comments you all left for the last episode, thank you for your encouragement and criticism! Without further ado, today we're going to talk about another ancient historical mystery—"

"The sound of an axe and the shadow of a candle!"

Zhao Zhen looked at the sky helplessly. Regardless of whether such royal secrets were true or false, they would damage the royal face. The last time, the Twelve Golden Men also ended without a result, but it aroused the interest of the common people and literati, who searched for the truth about the Twelve Golden Men in historical records and collections.

Emperor Taizu has long since passed away, and Zhao Zhen is unaware of the past palace secrets. He is curious about them, much less so than others!

It's worth mentioning that because of the contract, the previous video had good viewership, and Zhu Qinggu already had the permission to enable bullet comments.

Thus, people in ancient times could see lines of text slowly floating by below the video, with explanations explaining that these were bullet comments, or comments posted by others.

Sometimes, things that the streamer might not say can be learned from these comments, and Ying Zheng even had people keep a close eye on these comments.

Liu Che was the same, as were other powerful figures in different timelines; they all longed to learn even the slightest bit about their later lives from the comments section, hoping to avoid making mistakes.

[Big giveaway!]

[It was a big giveaway.]

I like Su Shi, Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi, Su Zhe, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan... but I don't like Da Song.

[You haven't memorized enough!]

These bullet comments drifted by slowly, making them visible to everyone in the world.

But why call the Great Song Dynasty "Great Gift"? And why use such a tone?

Su Shi, Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi, and others were on the list, but they were not too happy. The saying "a subject dies for his lord" applies back then as well. The attitude of later generations towards the Song Dynasty was very different, which made them somewhat uneasy.

"Some viewers said I was too serious yesterday, so I'll be more approachable today. How about we play a little game before we start the broadcast?"

The woman above the sky smiled sweetly, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling, and she instantly became approachable.

[Come!]

[What game?]

"If we were to gather together Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of Tang, Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin of Song, and Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming and have them fight, who would win?" She smiled, as if she could see through the sky and look down upon all the people under heaven.

Even after suffering a humiliating defeat at Baideng Mountain, Liu Bang still muttered to himself, "I don't know what the future holds, but I will naturally choose my own path!"

Li Shimin stood outside the main hall with Empress Zhangsun, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, and others, looking at the sky. Seeing this, he became interested and asked, "Gao Ming, who do you think it could be?"

“Of course it’s my father! My father is the Supreme General of the Heavenly Strategy, an archer who can hit a willow leaf from a hundred paces away, and an expert horseman. Who else could it be but my father?” Li Chengqian blurted out, expressing his admiration for his father.

Li Shimin was very pleased and laughed heartily.

The Song Dynasty naturally believed that Emperor Taizu could win. Emperor Taizu was skilled in martial arts and had many other martial arts skills, which was also due to his outstanding martial prowess.

On the Ming Dynasty side, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led troops into battle, so he was certainly brave and skilled in martial arts, and he did not think he was inferior to anyone else.

Compared to Liu Bang? Heh!

What can this compare to.

But if we compare him to Emperor Taizong of Tang...

“It must be Emperor Taizong of Tang!” Zhu Di exclaimed.

Zhu Yuanzhang, his thoughts interrupted, glared at him angrily, "You brat, don't you ever think about how good your father is?"

"Father, you are indeed no match for Emperor Taizong..." Zhu Di's voice grew weaker as he looked at the fist that was about to come down.

In the end, Zhu Biao shielded Zhu Di behind him, saying, "Father, Fourth Brother has always admired Emperor Taizong Wen, and he was just speaking unintentionally."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao pleading for Zhu Di, but in the end, he didn't bring his fist down. He just snorted and thought he would find a time and opportunity to beat this rebellious son.

[They were all founding emperors!]

[Did something sneak in?]

[Do you dare say Li Shimin wasn't the founding emperor?]

[Ahem, Li Yuan's only contribution was fathering Li Shimin.]

[No, actually Li Yuan did have his merits: he humbly accepted advice, reduced punishments, and promoted education...]

[Which capable emperor didn't do this?]

Immediately, the comments section erupted in heated debate.

Zhu Qinggu organized a poll, and many people voted for Li Shimin. However, Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, quickly gained more votes and surpassed Li Shimin in a short time.

“Voting has stopped, so it seems many people still know about ‘Taizu Changquan’!” Zhu Qinggu said.

"Let's take a look at Zhao Kuangyin's Baidu entry: the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, and a military strategist, politician, tactician, and martial artist of the early Song Dynasty!"

"In his book 'New Book of Military Tactics,' Qi Jiguang, a famous general who fought against Japanese pirates during the Ming Dynasty, listed Zhao Kuangyin as the greatest master of boxing in ancient and modern times. This was because Zhao Kuangyin's self-created Taizu boxing style was powerful, heavy, fierce, and easy to learn. He believed it should be included in the training and combat practice of soldiers in the army."

"Besides Taizu Fist, Emperor Taizu of Song also created the 'Taizu Staff Technique,' also known as the Panlong Staff. He Liangchen of the Ming Dynasty once praised the Taizu Staff Technique as the number one staff technique in ancient and modern times in his book 'Zhen Ji'!"
