Chapter 172

The reappearance of the Heavenly Dao Gold List caused a sensation in the imperial palaces of all dynasties.

Great Han, Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was having a meal with Wei Zifu, rushed out of the hall, looked at the Gold List in the sky, his eyes shining,

"Beauty List? Good! I want to see what kind of peerless beauty can be listed by the Immortal! Will anyone come from my Great Han?"

Great Tang, Chang'an City.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, stood in front of the hall hand in hand with Empress Zhangsun, Li Shimin smiled: "Guanyinbi, last time on the Virtuous Empress List, you ranked first."

"This time on the Beauty List, I wonder if my Great Tang will have beauties selected?"

Empress Zhangsun smiled: "Your Majesty has three thousand beauties in the harem, perhaps some are destined to be on the list?"

Great Song, Bianliang Palace.

Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, looked at the Gold List and touched his chin,

"Beauty List? This is interesting."

"I just hope it doesn't lead to any romantic affairs and disturb the court."

He thought of Lady Huarui of Later Shu and secretly warned himself.

Great Ming, Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Empress Ma's hand and grinned: "Sister, this time it's a Beauty List!"

"Hehe, I want to see what kind of beautiful wives those later emperors have at home."

Empress Ma rolled her eyes at him: "Chongba, watch your words."

Great Qing, Forbidden City.

Qianlong, who was lying on the bed, struggled to be helped to the window by the eunuch, looked at the Gold List in the sky, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

Last time he was angered to vomit blood and reduce his lifespan, he hated and feared this Gold List, but curiosity finally prevailed.

"Beauty List... my Great Qing, is there anyone who can enter the Immortal's eyes?"

Under the gaze of Myriad Worlds, the physical Gold List hovering over Great Qin Xianyang had its light gradually stabilize.

That magnificent and vast voice, as if coming from above the nine heavens, rang out again, not only resounding through Xianyang, but also synchronously echoing in the sky of the heavens and worlds:

【Heavenly Dao Gold List · Beauty List】

【This list will screen peerless beauties from all dynasties, according to their appearance, legendary stories, historical influence, derivative allusions, etc., take the top eight, list and comment.】

【Those on the list, no reward.】

No reward? Everyone was stunned for a moment, then relieved.

This list focuses on "name"; being recognized by the Immortal and listed on the Gold List witnessed by Myriad Worlds is already supreme glory, comparable to leaving a name in history, or even more so!

(But they don't know that those on the list include country-toppling demon concubines, romance characters, etc.)

On the Gold List, light flowed, and the first to appear was not the top of the list, but announced from the last place.

This was a suspense specially designed by Gu Shanhe.

【Beauty List Eighth Place: Chen Yuanyuan】

【Dynasty: Late Ming】

【Title: Head of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, Anger for a Beauty】

As the list text appeared, light and shadow condensed on the left side of the Gold List, gradually turning into a vivid picture:

Jiangnan water town, painted boat floating, a woman holding a pipa, wearing a simple and elegant dress, in the hazy moonlight, lowering her eyebrows and believing in her hands, gently pulling and slowly twisting.

Although the full picture could not be seen, the graceful posture and mournful temperament were already heart-moving.

Beside the picture, there were small characters annotating her life trajectory.

That magnificent heavenly sound, accompanied by the picture, told the story, the voice seemed to carry the vicissitudes and emotions of history:

【She was surnamed Xing, named Yuan, courtesy name Yuanyuan. Her family fell into decline in her childhood, and she drifted into the Suzhou pear garden. Because of her peerless beauty and art, she gradually became famous.】

【Her life was entangled with three men who changed history:

First, she entered the imperial palace and was once a musician in the palace of Concubine Tian of Emperor Chongzhen.

However, the state affairs were in turmoil, and the monarch had no intention of beauty, so she was covered in dust.】

【Later, she was obtained by Wu Sangui, the General of Liaodong, and was favored very much.】

【Wu Sangui guarded Shanhai Pass, holding the last elite of the Great Ming.】

【Li Zicheng broke Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen died for the country, and his subordinate Liu Zongmin abducted Chen Yuanyuan.】

【Wu Sangui, who had already agreed to surrender to Li Zicheng, was furious when he heard the news: "If a man cannot protect a woman, what face does he have to see people!" He then "Angered for a beauty", brought Qing troops into the pass, and defeated Li Zicheng.】

【Since then, the world has changed hands, and the Qing court has entered the Central Plains. A singing girl actually became the key fuse for the Ming and Qing dynasties.】

The picture flowed, showing the blurred scenes of Wu Sangui's anger, Qing troops entering the pass, and the changing of mountains and rivers.

Finally, it settled on the lonely back of Chen Yuanyuan in her later years, becoming a Taoist nun, with green lamps and ancient Buddhas.

【Sky Screen Comment: "Crying for the six armies, all in mourning, anger for a beauty."

The color of the world, the art of the world. But the red face is thin, and the body is like floating duckweed.】

【She is not a disaster, but was involved in the vortex because of her beauty; she was innocent, but changed history because of men.】

【A pipa sighs the rise and fall, half a life of floating and sinking pays for the vicissitudes.】

The comment appeared, finally turning into an eight-character summary, branded on the list:

Anger for a beauty, red face changes fate

Quiet.

The entire Xianyang drill ground was silent.

Everyone was shocked by this short but information-packed inventory.

A woman could actually be involved with three such important men, and even indirectly lead to the destruction of one dynasty and the rise of another alien dynasty?

This... the power of beauty is really too terrifying!

Ying Zheng frowned, his voice deep: "The appearance of a woman can actually affect the national destiny to this extent? Wu Sangui... is truly absurd!"

He always valued power and the country, and was extremely disdainful of Wu Sangui's behavior of bringing in foreign enemies for a woman.

Li Si twisted his beard and sighed: "But the comment is fair, 'She is not a disaster, but was involved in the vortex because of her beauty'."

"This woman is also a pitiful person who cannot help herself. It's just that her fate is really sigh-worthy."

Young princes like Fu Su felt more pity for the mournful figure in the picture and the final green lamp and ancient Buddha.

The people on the periphery were also discussing, both curious about Chen Yuanyuan's beauty and amazed by that period of history.

And other planes were even more explosive.

Ming Dynasty (Hongwu period).

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "Bastard Wu Sangui! Bringing Qing troops into the pass for a woman? My Great Ming country..."

Empress Ma's face also turned white, holding Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tightly,

"Chongba, the secret has been revealed, maybe there is a turn for the better. Since the Immortal showed it here, maybe it is a warning!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were ferocious: "Wu Sangui! Chen Yuanyuan! Good, good, good! I have recorded it! And those Qing Tatars..."

Qing Dynasty (Qianlong period).

Qianlong's face changed uncertainly.

He naturally knew about Chen Yuanyuan, but being revealed by the Immortal in this way, so straightforwardly, pointing out the connection between the Qing's entry into the pass and this woman, made his face burn.

Especially the phrase "bringing Qing troops into the pass" sounded particularly harsh.

"Hmph, past events, what's worth mentioning."

He could only be stubborn, but the stuffiness in his heart could be imagined.

Before everyone could digest the shock brought by this eighth place, on the Gold List, the light and shadow changed again.
