Chapter 38: Reviewing the Second Place on the Huaxia Heroes List

The next day, Gu Shanhe edited the video as usual.

At 12:30 in the afternoon, Gu Shanhe finally finished editing the video for the second place.

Then he clicked publish.

After publishing successfully, Gu Shanhe went to the kitchen to make lunch.

Modern era, Seaside Mansion Villa No. 1.

Gu Shanhe stretched, looked at the "Published successfully" prompt on the screen, and turned to walk to the kitchen.

There were ingredients bought yesterday in the refrigerator, and he planned to make some simple pasta with some fried steak.

When the oil pan sizzled, he didn't know that the heavens and worlds were already boiling.

Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was having a meal when suddenly the sky was filled with golden light.

"Your Majesty! The Sky Screen!" the attendant shouted in panic.

Ying Zheng put down his chopsticks and walked out of the hall.

That familiar light screen spanned the sky, and the golden light made the entire Xianyang City shine a bit brighter.

"Sky Screen Department, record immediately." He said in a deep voice.

Meng Tian beside him whispered:

"Your Majesty, the last one was Huo Qubing, who will it be this time?"

Ying Zheng did not answer, his eyes fixed on the sky.

He had a vague feeling that the person this time might be different from the previous two times.

Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was discussing military affairs with Huo Qubing and Wei Qing.

The moment the Sky Screen appeared, all three looked up.

"Another one."

Liu Che joked: "Qubing, let's see who is ranked ahead of you this time."

Huo Qubing cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, the person who can be ranked ahead of me must have extraordinary qualities."

Wei Qing nodded beside him, his eyes also full of anticipation.

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan era.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was discussing affairs with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

The golden light of the Sky Screen shone in through the window, and Li Shimin got up and walked to the window.

"Sky Screen Department, prepare, I want to listen carefully." He ordered.

Song Dynasty plane.

Emperor Lizong of Song, Zhao Yun, was reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study.

The moment the Sky Screen appeared, he looked up, a flash of complexity in his eyes.

The previous reviews of the Sky Screen let him know the fate of the Great Song — the country was destroyed and wiped out by foreign tribes.

He had been feeling blocked in his heart.

What would it be this time?

Ming Dynasty, Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture.

Emperor Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang, was talking to Empress Ma.

The golden light of the Sky Screen made him stand up immediately.

"It's here, it's here!"

He said excitedly: "Meizi, do you think it will be someone from our Great Ming this time?"

Empress Ma smiled: "Chongba, do you want to be on the list that much?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared: "Of course! Being on the list has a longevity reward! I also want to live a few more years!"

【Today we will review the second place on the Huaxia Heroes List: Wen Tianxiang.】

On the Sky Screen, a line of golden characters slowly emerged.

Song Dynasty plane.

Emperor Lizong of Song, Zhao Yun, was stunned.

Wen Tianxiang?

That was the top scholar he personally selected!

He remembered that young man, remembered his ten-thousand-word answer in the palace examination, remembered his integrity and courage to speak out.

"Wen Tianxiang... is my top scholar." He muttered.

But soon, he thought of the people reviewed by the Sky Screen before — Zheng Chenggong, Yu Qian, Huo Qubing, all were heroes recognized after their deaths.

Could it be that Wen Tianxiang also...

His heart sank.

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he saw the three words "Wen Tianxiang".

"Wen Tianxiang! Good! Good!"

He slapped the table: "This person is the last backbone of the Great Song! I admire him!"

Liu Bowen beside him nodded:

"Your Majesty, Wen Tianxiang is indeed amazing. The Great Song fell, but he did not."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I admire this kind of person the most. The country can be lost, but the backbone cannot be lost."

Yuan Dynasty, Dadu.

Kublai Khan was discussing military affairs with Bayan.

The moment the Sky Screen appeared, he looked up, looked at the three words "Wen Tianxiang", and his brows slightly furrowed.

"Wen Tianxiang... that Song official who refused to surrender." He said in a deep voice.

Bayan said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this person..."

Kublai Khan waved his hand,

"I know. I personally tried to persuade him to surrender, but he refused. When I killed him, I felt sorry for a long time."

He looked at the Sky Screen, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

【Sky Screen Phenomenon: The last backbone of the Great Song — Wen Tianxiang.】

【In the winter of the first year of Xiangxing, on the eve of the Battle of Yamen. When Wen Tianxiang wrote "Who has ever escaped death since ancient times" on a Yuan warship, a golden light pierced the night sky, the firmament turned into a giant screen, reflecting his life — from being the top scholar to dying in the Chai Market.】

On the Sky Screen, the image slowly unfolded.

On a Yuan warship, Wen Tianxiang was imprisoned in the cabin.

Outside was the vast sea, and in the distance was the fire of Yamen.

He picked up his pen and wrote the poem that has been passed down through the ages on paper.

"Who has ever escaped death since ancient times, keep a loyal heart to shine in the history books."

The handwriting was vigorous and powerful.

Song Dynasty plane.

Lu Xiufu was on the warship at Yamen, looking at the image on the Sky Screen, his eyes red.

"Prime Minister Wen..." he called softly.

The young emperor Zhao Bing beside him was still young and pulled his sleeve and asked,

"Prime Minister Lu, who is that person?"

Lu Xiufu squatted down and said softly: "Your Majesty, that is the Prime Minister of our Great Song, Wen Tianxiang."

The young emperor tilted his head and asked,

"Why is he on the enemy's ship?"

Lu Xiufu was silent for a moment and said slowly:

"Because he was captured. But he did not surrender, he is writing poetry."

He pointed to the line on the Sky Screen,

"Your Majesty, remember this line. This is the backbone of our Great Song."

Ming Dynasty plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the image, his eyes also a bit red.

"Who has ever escaped death since ancient times, keep a loyal heart to shine in the history books..."

He whispered these two lines of poetry and turned to look at Liu Bowen.

"Bowen, what do you think of this poem?"

Liu Bowen said seriously: "Your Majesty, this poem is written very well. Keeping a loyal heart to shine in the history books means his loyalty will forever remain in history. This is a famous line through the ages."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "I think so too. If only I could write such a poem."

Liu Bowen held back his laughter and didn't dare to speak.

【First Act: Youth, the eye of heaven opens, the star of literature descends】

【Luling, Jiangxi, the third year of Chunyou, golden light suddenly appeared in the Wen family ancestral hall, the young Wen Tianxiang was reading in the school, looked up and saw the plaque of the school was actually Ouyang Xiu's ancestral hall, so he pointed to the plaque and swore: "One day I will be as famous as this person!"】

On the Sky Screen, a thin young man stood in front of the ancestral hall, looking at the plaque with a firm gaze.

On the plaque were three words: Ouyang Xiu Ancestral Hall.

The young man pointed to the plaque and said word by word: "One day I will be as famous as this person."

Song Dynasty plane.

Ouyang Xiu's descendants were watching the Sky Screen, and many were moved when they saw this scene.

"This child has ambition." An old man whispered.

And Ouyang Xiu himself, who was far away in Tokyo, if he were still alive, would probably smile with gratification.

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan era.

Li Shimin saw this scene and said: "This child has the ambition of 'seeing a worthy person and wanting to be equal to him', a talent that can be cultivated."

He looked at Fang Xuanling beside him,

"Xuanling, did you have such ambition when you were young?"

Fang Xuanling smiled: "Reporting to Your Majesty, when I was young, I only wanted to pass the imperial examination and bring honor to my ancestors. I didn't dare to think about being as famous as the ancients."

Li Shimin laughed: "You are too humble." ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
