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

When Puyi first entered prison, he was worried about his fate and even attempted suicide once. Ten years later, however, he seemed to have become incredibly peaceful.

[After ten years, when he was pardoned and released from prison, he became a self-reliant gardener through an introduction. His back was hunched over, and his whole body was severely stooped.]

He felt his time was near and planned to return to his old home for a visit.

But is that really his home?

The people who once lived here now hunched over, buying tickets from the ticket seller before slowly stepping through the palace gates—the place they once longed to leave.

As the sun rose, casting its golden light, he stepped into the main hall. The once dark places were now bathed in light, and everything seemed unchanged.

The golden chair in the main hall was blocked by a red line, but Puyi stepped over it.

A little boy wearing a red scarf walked in and said he was the gatekeeper's son and had always lived there.

The now frail and elderly Puyi pointed to the dragon throne and said that he used to live here and was the last emperor to live here.

To prove he wasn't lying, Puyi pulled out a cricket cage given to him by his tutor from under the dragon throne and handed it to the child.

The child opened the cage, but it was empty. When he looked again, Puyi was gone, but inside the cricket cage was a withered, old cricket, quietly leaning against his red scarf.

The cricket gained true freedom.

Puyi surpassed all emperors because he possessed a Chinese identity card.

[He was a puppet manipulated by the times and various forces, not a complete person, but he should indeed bear responsibility for the later puppet state of Manchukuo.]

[The foremost general in the resistance against the Qing Dynasty—Empress Dowager Cixi!]

The elderly Puyi looked at the sky, then at the flowers in the courtyard, and shook his head and smiled slightly.

Looking at the sky, Chongzhen realized that at least he still had some power, which was much better than Puyi, who had never been free and was swept up by the tide of events.

However, too many people were stretching their reach too far, and Chongzhen's eyes darkened slightly.

Since Tianmu arrived, he seemed to have been enlightened and understood many things.

Especially after the so-called "Ming Dynasty emperors are easily dissolved in water" statement, he began to carefully recall the deaths of many Ming Dynasty emperors, which were indeed too abnormal.

They also began to be wary of these intellectuals.

However, he had few soldiers at his disposal, and even the capital garrison was terribly corrupt. If he acted rashly, he might be the next one to be submerged.

Emperor Chongzhen had not received any imperial education and could only learn many things by trial and error. However, he was afraid that what he was about to do would arouse the vigilance of these civil officials.

If only the founding emperor, or even any of the ancestors before him, could descend from the heavens and save the Ming Dynasty!

Apart from Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Yingzong.

Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Qizhen were cursing and swearing. They were already grateful to have someone useful, yet they were still being picky!

Many emperors, however, set their sights directly on the small islands nearby.

How can one tolerate another snoring beside one's bed? Moreover, in the future, this small country harbors wolfish ambitions. Even if it is docile now, who knows if it is a wolf lurking in the shadows, ready to bite you when you are not paying attention?

Therefore, many emperors silently added Japan to their list of targets to be eliminated, and no matter how much the Japanese envoys explained, they would not listen, because the evidence had already been presented.

What? You're saying this is from the future, and these things haven't happened yet?

I am eliminating dangers for future generations in advance; it's never too early to take revenge!

During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates frequently raided the coast. These pirates were not only Japanese, but also included many Han Chinese, all driven by profit.

Now that there's a canopy over the sky, the Han people are looking at the Japanese with some strange eyes.

Some hot-blooded individuals were already planning to double-cross each other. The government was untrustworthy, and the Japanese didn't seem trustworthy either!

Some who were trying to stay out of trouble also began to be wary of these Japanese, fearing that if things went wrong, they might double-cross them.

……

After watching the narration, Zhu Qinggu was also somewhat moved, especially by the last scene where Puyi had to buy a ticket to return to his former home.

Humans are strange; they used to want to escape, but when they get old, they want to go back and take a look.

Zhu Qinggu was also a little homesick. Time seemed to be passing so slowly; it was only just beginning to November.

I just talked to my mother yesterday. How can I talk to them again today? What if they think she's being mistreated here and start to worry about her?

Zhu Qinggu turned off the Douyin, and the sky gradually darkened.

Everyone thought maybe there would be more? But after waiting, nothing appeared.

At this point, Zhu Qinggu had already entered the 'Fun History' platform and was about to browse the backend when he saw that it was still the same few familiar IDs posting.

She smiled and replied to them one by one, and they replied instantly, almost all of them saying the same thing.

She couldn't help but frown. Was everyone online at this hour?

That's a bit strange... Could it be too much of a coincidence?

She clicked on one of the IDs' profile pictures; it showed that the IDs had been on the platform for over 200 days. Several other IDs also had the same number of days, though they weren't exactly the same. The proximity of these numbers was too much of a coincidence…

But their speeches were really humorous and witty.

Zhu Qinggu felt he was being a bit paranoid, but he still secretly noted down these points.

She found several popular history videos on the homepage to watch. One of them was by Professor Xi Lihong, who studies the history of the Zhou Dynasty. She spoke very well in the video, with great intonation, and explained the history of the Zhou Dynasty very clearly.

Zhu Qinggu was curious and searched on Baidu. He immediately found the professor's biography. She was indeed a very famous history professor, but why did her previous video lectures seem a little different?

Zhu Qinggu couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

She saw those familiar IDs again in the comments. Did these IDs have so much free time that they spent all day on this website, commenting everywhere?

Zhu Qinggu was a little puzzled. The more he looked, the more traces he found of these IDs. There were really a lot of them. Maybe they were hardcore fans of history?

Or perhaps an employee of this website?

Her train of thought was abruptly interrupted by the sound of an ambulance outside.

She and several other girls in the dormitory quickly peeked out to see what was going on. Someone was being carried away on a stretcher?

"Could it be suicide? Someone at the school next door committed suicide last semester," Wang Minghua said with a sense of unease.

"That shouldn't be possible..." Zhang Xiaosheng was also a little scared.
