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

While many people covered their eyes and dared not watch, this princess skied down the mountain, flew a fighter jet, and even parachuted directly from a high altitude.

Despite being so high up, Princess Ingrid showed no fear, but rather seemed to enjoy herself with ease.

Then came the introductions of several princesses, which gave everyone a real treat for their eyes.

Looking at these princesses, they were never like parasitic plants; they were themselves great trees.

They either speak several languages, have long been involved in international affairs, or even experienced the lives of ordinary people, or have joined the military... They are incredibly resilient.

She was very different from the princesses of ancient times.

Even princes of various dynasties could not do what they did, let alone princesses who could only depend on imperial power and their fathers and brothers.

The emperor, however, saw even more.

Compared to princesses of later generations, they even lacked education for princes.

The fact that princesses had to join the army illustrates the importance of military power. However, in ancient times, emperors did not dare to let their princes join the army, otherwise their positions would be insecure.

But some emperors were not afraid, such as Li Shimin. In this world, which prince had more prestige than him?

He thought of letting these children experience the hardships of ordinary people in the future.

It would be best to send him to the military for some training.

"Who says women are inferior to men? The princesses of later generations are just as good," Liang Hongyu sneered.

"My wife is just as formidable as I am!" Han Shizhong indeed thought so.

Countless young ladies looked on with envy at the princess in the sky, but envy alone was useless; they too longed to go out.

In the past, their bodies and minds were bound, but now their hearts can fly to very, very far places.

……

Zhu Qinggu thought these princesses were all amazing. It takes ten years of practice to achieve one minute on stage. Although they appeared calm and collected, Zhu Qinggu believed that these princesses must be taking all sorts of lessons day and night.

To cultivate such composure and elegance is not an easy thing.

She glanced at the comments and realized that the video had missed listing one or two future queens. Counting them up, it turned out that almost everyone in the future would be a queen.

The phrase "Destiny is in my hands" filled Zhu Qinggu with a sense of pride.

How could someone cause such a huge disaster?

She scrolled down the video and immediately saw an oracle bone script.

These hieroglyphs were difficult for her to decipher.

But the animated demonstrations made her feel that these cold, hard oracle bone characters had come to life.

"What is this? Is it a painting?" some people asked the learned man beside them.

"Do these paintings mean someone has caused trouble?" another person asked.

Even learned scholars shook their heads, saying, "These characters do resemble those seal script characters..."

But nowadays, unless someone specifically studies seal script or similar characters, who would recognize these things?

It's not that no one recognizes these things; for example, some people collect bronze and stone inscriptions, or study bronze inscriptions.

I can make out some of it; I know it's ancient script.

It's said to be in seal script, but it's not quite the same anymore.

"Could this be the writing of the ancient sages?" Zheng Xuan immediately perked up and quickly pulled over a cloth to record the writing on it.

"Could this be the truth left behind by the sages of ancient times?" Many great Confucian scholars believe this.

Many people spend their entire lives studying ancient texts in order to pursue the realm of the sages, understand the thoughts of their predecessors, and then adhere to their own principles. Now, seeing these oracle bone inscriptions is enough to excite them.

[An oracle bone script character resembling a car came to life in the animation, followed by an animal leaping high into the air.]

A chariot pulled by several horses was overturned by another charging animal, and one of the oracle bone characters fell from the top to the deepest part, turning into an upside-down character '坠' (zhuì, meaning 'to fall').

The children under the canopy laughed heartily, clearly understanding what it meant.

"Does this mean someone's horse bumped into the king's carriage?" Li Tai laughed. "They really have caused trouble!"

Sizi clapped his hands and said, "Fun!"

The original few characters gradually shrank, revealing the entire record—the divination inscription on the ox bone.

This refers to the scene of a car accident that occurred more than 3,000 years ago—'Wang Wang Chasing the Rhinoceros'.

More than three thousand years ago, a man named Ziyang was driving the Shang king on a hunting trip when they accidentally collided with a rhinoceros. This caused a wheel to break off, the chariot to overturn, and the king to be thrown from the chariot. Ziyang then fled to avoid punishment.

The Shang king sent a minister to capture him, and every day he would consult the oracle: Will we be able to capture Ziyang today? Will we be able to capture him tomorrow? Will we be able to capture him at midnight or dawn?

[They eventually caught him, and then asked when he could be used to sacrifice to their ancestors? Tomorrow, the day after, or ten days from now?]

[It's kind of funny for some reason; this king is quite petty, haha.]

[The Su Wu who herded sheep—his brother was driving the chariot for Emperor Wu of Han. His chariot broke when it struck a pillar, a grave act of disrespect, and he later committed suicide.]

[By the Han Dynasty, even a cart overturning would result in death, let alone the fact that people still worshipped people during the Shang Dynasty.]

[Anyway, these oracle bone inscriptions were discovered at an archaeological site in the Shang Dynasty, which was similar to a warehouse full of oracle bone inscriptions. Thousands upon thousands of pieces were found, and the daily divination inscriptions were like a diary. The stories of Ziyang's escape and capture were recorded on other oracle bone inscriptions.]

[He ran into a rhinoceros? And got thrown off? This king is really lucky; if it were me, I would have chased him to the ends of the earth.]

[Wu Ding had been on the throne for 59 years at this time. Perhaps it was this car accident that caused his death; otherwise, he would certainly have lived longer than Kangxi.]

[Unfortunately, the deciphering of oracle bone script is only a small part complete; many characters remain undeciphered because the ancients considered it a medicinal ingredient called 'dragon bone,' and insisted on consuming only those with writing on them!]

Some of the people who were getting the medicine quickly took a look, and sure enough, there were words on it that they hadn't known before.

Now I know that this is script from thousands of years ago, even from the Yin and Shang dynasties!

This is the real treasure!

For a time, pharmacies and those who excavated these oracle bones treated them as treasures and handled them with utmost care.

Some collectors of bronze and stone artifacts have also become interested in these artifacts from the Yin and Shang dynasties, and more and more tortoise shells or bone fragments with inscriptions have become popular in the market.

Some people are trying to decipher the contents of the text, hoping to find out what their ancestors recorded thousands of years ago.

Ying Zheng ordered that these things be collected and examined to see if they contained any methods for achieving longevity.

Although Ying Zheng vaguely sensed from the sky that there was no way to achieve immortality, perhaps the ancients did?
