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

The video is not finished.

What followed were scenes of negotiations at the United Nations. The entire hall suddenly erupted into a brawl over interests, with people hurling insults and fighting. Men, women, young and old alike were involved, and the scene was no less dramatic than the previous actors' performances; on the contrary, it was even more exciting.

Negotiations are 30% diplomacy and 70% military strategy.

[In times of war, envoys are not to be killed, but it is not said that war is forbidden.]

Dignity resides only on the edge of a sword, truth only within the range of cannons.

[Frank conversation: Significant differences, unable to communicate. Exchanged opinions: Each side spoke their own mind, no agreement reached. Full exchange of opinions: The two sides could not reach an agreement, arguing fiercely. Improved mutual understanding: The differences were too great. The meeting was beneficial: The two sides' goals were far apart, merely able to sit down and talk. We have reservations: We refuse to agree.]

[Negotiations, after all, require a full use of the art of language, don't they?]

[Actually, there are quite a few in the Records of the Grand Historian as well.]

"Is this the United Nations negotiations of later generations?" Zhu Di was dumbfounded. However, he had mostly met foreign envoys, who all politely begged their lords to spare a little money. He had never seen such a scene before.

Through the barrage of comments, those watching from below the screen also understood what the United Nations really is.

It turns out that there are too many countries in later generations, and their interests are too intertwined. Many countries need a platform to sit down and communicate, so the United Nations came into being.

Those arguing and fighting are all arguing here for the sake of national interests.

"Does the Records of the Grand Historian contain such a thing?" Zhu Di was silent for a moment, then thought about it and realized that it did indeed exist, quite a few of them.

What about raising an army, launching a punitive expedition, the strong taking advantage of the weak, and subduing people through coercion...

It turns out that it wasn't that our predecessors didn't understand; it's just that many people hadn't fully grasped the texts! History serves as a mirror; Emperor Taizong of Tang was truly right!

"These UN negotiations are quite interesting." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He disliked the weak diplomacy of the Song Dynasty and agreed with what was said on the screen: dignity can only be earned by one's own hands, not by the charity of others!

He recalled the confidence and composure on the faces of those people from later generations, and from the previous military exhibition, he could tell that the future must be a powerful nation, otherwise they wouldn't be so confident.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just given his assessment of the United Nations negotiations in later generations when the content that appeared on the sky made his heart skip a beat.

In fact, many people have vaguely guessed that there will be no emperors in later generations. However, how to rule without an emperor is something that many people are curious about. That red country, those new countries that stood up tenaciously by the will of the people, would make many emperors feel terrified.

As emperors, none of them were willing to relinquish their power, nor did any of them want to lose their supreme status.

Therefore, they were also worried that the information the celestial curtain brought to the ancients would have a certain impact on the people's thinking. If the people were to think that "nobles and generals are born with special privileges," then the emperor's throne would be unstable.

And what appeared in the sky was—

[A commentary on the film "The Last Emperor".]

Does "last emperor" refer to the last emperor of a dynasty, or the last emperor in Chinese history?

In Zhu Qinggu's view, both are true.

She had actually seen clips of this movie many times, but she had never watched the movie's explanation carefully.

She was eating and too lazy to switch between different apps, so she decided to watch the narration, which was about ten minutes long.

[A three-year-old child was proclaimed emperor by Empress Dowager Cixi.]

The film gradually begins in that dim and hazy atmosphere, and the somber tone makes everyone who sees the sky feel that this may not be a very good story, just like the title of the film - The Last Generation.

This may be the last of a dynasty, or even the last of an emperor.

The Qing emperors all stared intently at the sky, their queues, dragon robes, and the Forbidden City all proclaiming that this was the Qing Dynasty.

really……

Previously, they dared not speculate, and some even fantasized that this later era might be a continuation of the Qing Dynasty, even though a new country had already been established, the red color made them tremble with fear.

But now this movie foreshadows the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, even though there would be no emperor after him. He was happy as long as the Tartars were in trouble.

Puyi and his father were already in a relationship of ruler and subject, and his father was required to kneel before him.

On the day of his coronation, the elaborate ceremonies made Puyi somewhat impatient. His father comforted him, saying, "It'll be over soon!" Little did they know that his words would become a prophecy!

Soon, Puyi walked out of the main hall and looked at the kneeling civil and military officials below. Being young, he didn't understand much; he simply heard the chirping of a cricket and went towards the Grand Tutor, where he saw a cricket locked up.

As the master of the palace, Puyi had many people serving him in everything he did, and many told him he could do whatever he wanted.

[However, several years later, Puyi finally saw his birth mother and younger brother for the first time, but he had completely forgotten everything about this haggard woman. Only his younger brother remained in the palace as his playmate.]

At this time, Puyi still appeared to hold power in the palace, manipulating the palace eunuchs with his brother. However, for his brother, there was little sense of loyalty between ruler and subject.

In fact, many people know that such foreshadowing is for the sake of the helplessness that gradually rises to the top later. Even those who do not know this quietly watch the sky.

Seeing the little emperor cry his heart out when his wet nurse was sent away, he realized that many people and things are beyond their control.

Kangxi's cold and silent demeanor contrasted sharply with Zhu Yuanzhang's smiling face hundreds of years earlier.

Did Emperor Chongzhen not know the pain of being the last emperor? Although these Tartars eventually ruled the Central Plains, they still had some common ground as emperors.

The current Chongzhen Emperor is in a similar situation, with everything going wrong. Whenever there is something to do, his ministers will obstruct him at the slightest provocation. Even though they know that the Ming Dynasty is about to collapse, they still keep making excuses.

One day, Puyi saw that his younger brother, Pujie, was wearing a bright yellow undergarment. He said that this was a color only the emperor could use and told Pujie to take it off. Pujie bluntly replied that he was no longer the emperor!

To demonstrate that his imperial power still existed, Puyi made a eunuch drink ink, but Pujie wanted to show Puyi that he was no longer the emperor, so he led the emperor up the wall.

It was right here on the wall that Puyi saw the place where civil and military officials used to kneel in worship; now, other people were coming and going.

Those people were dressed in modern clothes, drove cars, carried foreign guns, and even used yellow silk umbrellas reserved for emperors.
