Chapter 147

~14 min read 2,729 words

Wei Zifu took out a piece of white silk and threw it over the beam.

The screen froze on her resolute and beautiful face.

Immediately after, there was the scene of Crown Prince Liu Ju's defeat and escape, and finally his suicide;

It was the scene of Emperor Wu of Han waking up, exterminating Jiang Chong's three clans, and building the "Sizi Palace" to repent;

It was the scene of the gray-haired Liu Che standing on the "Returning to Look at Thoughts Terrace", with old tears streaming down his face...

The sound of the sky screen sounded heavily:

【The witchcraft disaster arose, and the Jiaofang was stained with blood. The Crown Prince was wronged, and the Empress proved her innocence. Thirty-eight years of virtue ended with three feet of white silk.】

【However, Wei Zifu's death was not her fault, but the tragedy of the era.

Her achievements will not be erased by tragedy.

Without her, there would be no Wei Qing and Huo Qubing;

Without Wei and Huo, there would be no merit in the north of the desert;

Without the merit in the north of the desert, Emperor Wu of Han's ambition and hegemony would be like a castle in the air.】

【She is a cornerstone, a cornerstone that supports the entire Han Martial Prosperity.

Her name should be engraved on the monument of the Great Han together with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.】

Han Dynasty plane.

Liu Che, who was in his prime, looked at the scene of Wei Zifu committing suicide on the sky screen, and looked at his gray-haired and regretful self in his later years, trembling all over.

He stood up abruptly and kicked over the table in front of him!

"Jiang Chong! Treacherous villain! I... I was so confused in my later years!"

His eyes were red, and he turned to look at Wei Zifu beside him.

At this time, Wei Zifu was about thirty years old, at the peak of her charm.

She looked at her ending on the sky screen, her face pale, but she tried to remain calm.

"Zifu!"

Liu Che stepped forward and took her into his arms, his voice choked.

"I... I'm sorry for you! Sorry for Ju'er! Sorry for Wei Qing, sorry for Qubing!"

Wei Zifu's tears fell like rain, but she shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, that is a future matter, it has not happened yet. Now that Your Majesty knows, it can be avoided. I... I don't blame Your Majesty."

Liu Che hugged her tightly, as if afraid she would disappear in the next second,

"I swear! I swear to heaven! I will never fail you in this life! I will treat Ju'er well, I will kill treacherous villains like Jiang Chong, I will change, I will definitely change!"

He raised his head abruptly and shouted at the sky screen:

"Immortal! Thank you for the warning!"

"I, Liu Che, swear here: I will treat Empress Wei well in this life, I will protect the Crown Prince, I will kill treacherous villains! If I violate this oath, heaven will punish me!"

In the sky, the golden light flickered slightly, as if responding.

Just when the emperors of all dynasties were sighing at Wei Zifu's tragedy and feeling emotional about Liu Che's repentance, a discordant voice sounded.

Great Qing, Qianlong period.

Emperor Qianlong Hongli, shaking his folding fan, looked at the sky screen and sneered:

"I thought it was some amazing virtuous empress, it turned out to be just a singing girl."

"Thirty-eight years as empress, didn't it end with a piece of white silk in the end?"

"Tsk tsk, this Emperor Wu of Han is also, confused in his later years, actually blinded by treacherous officials, forcing the empress and crown prince to death, really... tsk tsk."

He became more and more energetic as he spoke, and said to Heshen beside him:

"Heshen, do you think the emperors of the Han Dynasty are all this confused?"

"Gaozu had the disaster of Empress Lv, Wudi had the chaos of witchcraft, how can it be like my Great Qing, the ancestral family law is strict, the empress and concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics, how can there be these broken things?"

Heshen flattered: "Your Majesty is wise! How can the Han Dynasty compare with my Great Qing?"

"The Empress Dowager and Empress of my Great Qing are all virtuous, how could they end up like this?"

Qianlong was triumphant and continued to comment on the sky screen:

"If you ask me, this Wei Zifu just had good luck, meeting a brother and nephew who could fight."

"If it weren't for Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, a singing girl, why would she be empress for thirty-eight years? Still the third virtuous empress? Heh, I don't think so."

His words spread through the sky screen to all dynasties and times.

The barrage exploded instantly.

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng was the first to snort coldly,

"Descendants of barbarians, how dare you discuss the sages?"

"What about a singing girl? The merits of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are shocking to the past and present!"

"What kind of generals does your Great Qing have, dare to speak wildly here?"

Han Gaozu Liu Bang was so angry that he jumped,

"A barbarian emperor? Dare to speak ill of my Liu family? What's wrong with Empress Lv? When Empress Lv helped me stabilize the world, your ancestors were still herding sheep outside the pass!"

Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che was swearing while hugging Wei Zifu, and when he heard this, he was furious:

"You bastard! I was confused in my later years, that is my fault! But the merits of Empress Wei, how can you slander them?"

"Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, rode on the Xiongnu, sealed the wolf to Juxu! What martial arts does your Great Qing have?"

"Oh, I remember, the sky screen mentioned before, in the later period of your Great Qing, you were beaten by foreigners until you were peeing, ceding land and paying compensation, which can be called the shame of the ages! You are also worthy of barking here?"

Liu Che's words were harsh, directly reminding everyone of the sinner of the ages of the Great Qing — Cixi Yehenara.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin shook his head and smiled,

"A barbarian monarch, sitting in a well and watching the sky. The virtue of Wei Zifu lies in fighting without fighting, doing nothing while doing something, what do you know?"

"Your Great Qing harem is not allowed to interfere in politics? I think it is arbitrary and self-willed."

"Oh right, in your later years you called yourself 'Old Man Ten Perfection', but in fact you closed the country and buried the root of the disaster. Before counting the top ten confused emperors, don't you have any idea about the evaluation of the sky screen?"

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was the most irritable,

"My Bia'er!!"

He cried for Zhu Biao first, then scolded,

"A Tartar emperor dares to run wild on the sky screen? Your ancestors snatched the world of my Great Ming, and you still have the face to show off here?"

"Wei Zifu is a singing girl, your ancestors are just wild people outside the pass, who is more noble than whom?"

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sneered: "Father scolded well."

"This Qianlong, I remember the sky screen mentioned, loves to show off, went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, wasted people and money, and even boasted of 'Ten Perfection Martial Arts', bah!"

"In my Great Ming Yongle period, five expeditions to the north, six voyages to the west, compiled the "Yongle Dadian", moved the capital to Beijing, which one is not better than you? You still dare to laugh at Emperor Wu of Han? Are you worthy?"

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "This guy is interesting! Come, come, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, if this person is here, catch him for me, I want to ask him: What merit do you have, dare to laugh at Wei and Huo?"

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and sighed: "Barbarian generation, bathing monkeys and wearing crowns, little do they know, the nobility of China lies in civilization, not bloodline."

"Although Empress Wei was born in humble circumstances, her virtue and achievements shine through the ages. How can such a barbarian monarch understand?"

The emperors of all dynasties, one word after another, made Qianlong blush and be dumbfounded.

"You... you..."

Qianlong pointed at the sky screen, his hands shaking,

"How can you hear me? Heshen! Heshen! What is going on?"

Heshen was also stupid: "Your Majesty... I... I don't know either..."

Qianlong was so angry that he trembled all over: "Rebellion! Rebellion! I am the Old Man Ten Perfection, I am the emperor of the ages!"

"You... you emperors of the previous dynasty, how dare you insult me like this?!"

Liu Bang: "Still the emperor of the ages? Bah! I don't even dare to call myself the emperor of the ages, are you, a little Tartar, worthy?"

Ying Zheng: "Emperor of the ages? Are you worthy of using these four words?"

"I swept the six directions, unified the world, wrote the same characters, and had the same tracks, so I could become the emperor of the ages. What are you?"

Li Shimin: "Old Man Ten Perfection? Hehe, deceiving yourself."

"Have you forgotten how the sky screen and later history books evaluated you? 'The beginning of closing the country, the end of the afterglow of the prosperous age'!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "I don't want to talk nonsense with this Tartar."

The middle-aged Zhu Di next to him directly played a song of Great Ming's bad luck.

After hearing it, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes instantly shed tears.

"My Bia'er... my sister... my grandson... wuwuwu"

Empress Ma directly slapped Zhu Yuanzhang on the head, "I, Bia'er, and my grandson are still here? Chongba, are you crying for a funeral?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the middle-aged Zhu Di who was playing the Great Ming bad luck song, took off his shoe, and chased Zhu Di for a fat beating.

✌︎˶╹ꇴ╹˶✌︎

(ᐢᴖ·̫ᴖᐢ)

Qianlong almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

Modern.

Gu Shanhe watched Qianlong jumping around on the system screen, directly spent 100,000 emotional points to exchange for a sound transmission horn, and began to transmit sound.

At this time, the sound of the sky screen sounded coldly:

"Aisin Gioro Hongli, reign name Qianlong, reigned for sixty years, called himself 'Old Man Ten Perfection'."

"However, he closed the country, stuck to the old ways, literary inquisition was prevalent, and corruption was rampant. His so-called 'Kang-Qian Prosperity' was actually the last flash of the feudal dynasty."

"Less than fifty years after his death, the Opium War broke out, the gate of the Great Qing country was blasted open by the powers, starting a century of humiliation."

"Such a monarch, also worthy of evaluating Empress Wei?"

"Shut up."

The last four words were said without any politeness.

Qianlong's eyes went dark, and he fainted directly.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Heshen was scared out of his wits.

In the dynasties and times, the other emperors laughed.

After the interlude, the sky screen returned to the main topic.

In the picture, the scene of Wei Zifu committing suicide gradually faded, replaced by the scene of her in her prime, side by side with Emperor Wu of Han, receiving the arrival of all nations.

The sound of the sky screen sounded solemnly:

【Wei Zifu, virtuous all her life, has merits for thousands of years. Although the ending is tragic, her achievements cannot be erased.】

【Specially granted rewards to commend her virtue—

Reward 1: Thirty years of lifespan!

Note: Lifespan can be distributed freely, allowing her to see the magnificent scene of the Great Han iron cavalry sweeping the desert.】

A golden beam of light crossed time and space and fell into the Weiyang Palace during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.

Middle-aged Liu Che and Wei Zifu stood hugging each other, and the golden light fell and merged into their bodies.

Wei Zifu felt a warm current flowing through her whole body, and the fatigue of years of hard work was swept away.

Liu Che also felt refreshed, as if he were ten years younger.

Wei Zifu's heart moved slightly, and she said softly to the immortal:

"I am willing to give ten years of lifespan to Your Majesty; ten years to myself; the last ten years... to Qubing."

She knew that Huo Qubing died young and only lived to be twenty-four.

If he could have ten years of extended life, perhaps...

The golden light of the sky screen flashed, as if agreeing.

【Reward 2: A blueprint for alcohol production!

With her merit of protecting soldiers all her life—the thousands of soldiers of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, if they have this thing to heal wounds and disinfect, they can save countless lives.

This is the feedback from the sky screen for her merit of 'fulfillment'.】

A roll of blueprints floated into Liu Che's hands.

Liu Che unfolded it and saw that it recorded in detail the method of extracting high-concentration alcohol.

Although he did not understand the meaning of "disinfection", seeing the four words "healing wounds and saving lives", he knew it was a divine object.

"Wonderful! Great! With this thing, the casualties of my Great Han soldiers can be reduced by 30%!" Liu Che was ecstatic.

【Reward 3: A world map!

Allowing her to see that there are ten thousand miles of territory outside the Great Han.

If Emperor Wu of Han had this map, Zhang Qian's Silk Road might have been able to go further.】

Another huge map unfolded.

The map not only marked mountains and rivers, but also had detailed records of products, ethnic groups, and countries.

Liu Che only took one look, and his blood boiled.

"West of the Western Regions, there is still such a vast world!"

"Good... good! Zhang Qian! I want you to go on a mission again and go further!"

【Reward 4: Good weather for the next twenty years in the Great Han!

With this heavenly grace, reward her heart of protecting the Great Han all her life.

Twenty years without disaster or famine, granaries are full, and the people are healthy.

This is the promise of the sky screen—you protect the Great Han for a lifetime, and the sky screen protects the Great Han for twenty years!】

Once this gift was given, the entire territory of the Great Han had good weather and a bumper harvest.

The Yellow River was peaceful, the Yangtze River was clear, the four seas were without disaster, and the people cheered.

In the Weiyang Palace, Liu Che held Wei Zifu's hand tightly, and the two bowed solemnly to the sky screen together.

"Liu Che (Wei Zifu), thank the immortal for the blessing!"

Behind them, Crown Prince Liu Ju, General-in-Chief Wei Qing, Champion Marquis Huo Qubing, and all the civil and military officials knelt down, shouting like a mountain and tsunami:

"Thank the immortal for the blessing! Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Empress!"

On the sky screen, the golden light gradually converged.

Wei Zifu's figure turned into stars in the light, and finally condensed into two lines of golden characters:

A singing girl as empress for thirty-eight years, fighting without fighting;

The cornerstone supports the sky for a hundred generations of prosperity, nameless as a name.

The picture finally darkened.

The sound of the sky screen sounded last:

【The third place in the top ten virtuous empresses in history, Filial Martial Empress Wei Zifu, the inventory is finished.】

【The next issue will count the second place.】

【The second place in the virtuous empress list, she is the first Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, experienced six dynasties, gathered all the noble positions that women most want to get, transformed from a princess consort to a crown princess, empress, empress dowager, and empress dowager. Dear book friends, can you guess who she is?】

The sound of the sky screen dissipated, leaving endless suspense.

In the dynasties and times, everyone stared at the sky screen that returned to calm, and the waves in their hearts had not yet calmed down.

They all wanted to know who the Empress Dowager was who had gathered so many noble positions and experienced six dynasties?
