Save the villain and become the villain [Quick Wear]

As the most glorious and brilliant dynasty in Chinese history, the Qi Dynasty is highly favored by historians, a favorite on the screen, and also the focus of history exams.

Rather than the founding and demise of the Qi Dynasty, people are more interested in its restoration and prosperity.

——After Emperor Mingzong of Qi, Xiao Jinglu, unified all the kingdoms, he changed the reign title to Chongguang.

Emperor Mingzong of Qi was supported by Empress Dowager Wen and Prince of Qi to ascend the throne at the age of two. Foreign relatives interfered in government affairs, aristocratic families were rampant, the people were living in misery, and the imperial examination system became a tool for aristocratic families to control the court.

He came back to power at the age of seventeen, and for the following fifty-nine years, he worked diligently, cared for the people, and never boasted about his achievements. He was one of the few emperors in history who was able to complete his reign from beginning to end.

One person played an indispensable role in this, and that was Ji Chongyang, the prime minister and imperial tutor appointed by him personally. Although he was suspicious throughout his life, he placed all his trust in this imperial tutor.

It is still clearly recorded today that a hundred words from the censor are not as good as one word from the prime minister.

Such favoritism and trust are fatal to an emperor or even a dynasty, but Ji Chongyang led Qi Mingzong from beginning to end and never deviated, which still makes people feel incredible.

Qi Mingzong praised him countless times for his strong character, unparalleled wisdom and courage, his extensive knowledge of ancient and modern times, his knowledge of astronomy and geography, his superb martial arts, and his invincibility in the world, and gave him the evaluation of "unprecedented and unrivaled".

However, historical records of Ji Chongyang tend to focus on his manipulation of power, and there is no record of his martial arts, so in many film and television dramas, he appears as a weak scholar.

According to historical records, Ji Chongyang's grandfather Ji Yuan was a former Imperial Censor and was famous for his integrity, which offended many people and led to the destruction of his family.

He endured for fourteen years, remaining unknown during that time.

When there is another record, he had already lurked in the palace as a eunuch, teaching Emperor Mingzong of Qi and helping him gradually break free from the control of King Qi and Queen Dowager Wen. He also dragged King Zheng, who had the most prestige in the royal family at the time, and the low-key King Ming into the chess game, starting the Rebellion of the Three Kings.

Some people in later generations said that he was a madman who didn't care about the consequences, while others said that he was a genius who played with the powerful and people's hearts.

The power of the Three Kings had already penetrated deep into the court and the country, and there were only a few loyal ministers left, and there was no hope for the emperor.

However, Ji Chongyang was a man of great talent and was good at dealing with people. He persuaded the neutral faction headed by Fan Wushang, and then persuaded the three kings' followers to abandon darkness and join the light.

It is said that he had a sharp eye and sharp words, and everyone who was persuaded was convinced. He quickly accumulated power for Emperor Mingzong of Qi and was a crucial factor in Emperor Mingzong's coming to power.

Less than a year later, he faked his death and left the palace, and Qi Mingzong made great strides in his power.

Regarding the abilities and skills displayed by Emperor Mingzong of Qi at this time, the modern historical community is divided into two factions.

Some people think that he is a rare genius who quietly taught himself under the control of Queen Mother Wen and King Qi, and then grew up quickly under the careful teaching of Ji Chongyang. Some people think that he just changed from a puppet of Queen Mother Wen and King Qi to a puppet of Ji Chongyang.

Afterwards, Ji Chongyang entered the Ministry of Revenue and was appointed Shangshu. Later, Prime Minister Rong Zhu was executed along with the King of Qi. He was made king and appointed prime minister in one go.

After the Rebellion of the Three Kings ended, he turned his attention to the military, regardless of the fact that the country was in ruins. He persuaded the emperor to open the national treasury, began to improve the iron smelting furnace, manufactured more sophisticated weapons and armor, cast city walls with cement, and invented the epoch-making weapon of thunder and fire bombs.

Many inventions of that era were more or less related to Ji Chongyang, but the official history records vaguely indicate that there were other people who made cement, glass, improved the iron smelting furnace, and refined refined salt, and Ji Chongyang only worked with the Ministry of Industry to promote them.

So far no one can tell who that person is.

Then, as we all know, the Zhou State invaded, but the generals stationed their troops outside the pass and fought all the way to the other side's royal court.

At that time, many young and outstanding generals emerged, among whom the most brilliant was General Fan Xiujie. It was said that he and Ji Chongyang were close friends and sworn brothers, which was regarded as a good story by people at that time.

From the first year to the sixth year of Chongguang, Ji Chongyang was committed to improving people's livelihood. The country enjoyed good weather and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. At the same time, he began to design ocean-going ships, laying the foundation for the world to speak Chinese today.

He worked hard and in the 19th year of Chongguang, he pushed the Qi Dynasty into the industrial age and completely changed the lives of the people.

Because of this, his prestige was once higher than that of Qi Mingzong, and there were even people who wanted him to become emperor. Qi Mingzong once proposed dual rule, but was rejected.

Ji Chongyang, with his own efforts, pushed the entire era forward step by step. Even in modern times, it is shocking. Many people speculate that he is a time traveler.

Scientists have already created a time machine, but after hundreds of attempts, the earliest a time traveler can reach is the end of the Qi Dynasty.

It seemed as if an invisible barrier of time and space firmly protected that glorious dynasty, preventing it from deviating from its original trajectory under the influence of any butterfly's wings.

During these hundreds of attempts, some time travelers tried to change the fate of the decline of the Qi Dynasty. However, no matter how capable the time travelers were, even with the most advanced optical computers, they could not change history in the slightest.

Some people speculate that it is because after the Qi Dynasty, the feudal monarchy declined, and no emperor could trust the time traveler as much as Qi Mingzong trusted Ji Chongyang.

Therefore, Ji Chongyang seems particularly mysterious.

In addition to his many achievements, what people talk about most is the love story between him and Emperor Mingzong of Qi.

The history books are vague about the details, but there are two versions in unofficial history. One is that they were a couple, and the other is that they and a beautiful woman named Zishan were in a love triangle.

"Hello everyone, welcome to our program... Behind me is the Qi Zhaoling Mausoleum. Qi Zhaoling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Emperor Mingzong of Qi. Many ancient mechanical techniques were used in its design. It is interconnected and a single move can affect the entire structure. It is extremely ingenious. Even though we now have the technology to enter the universe, we still have to marvel at the wisdom of the ancients..."

"This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient people and the most brilliant treasure in the history of China. After seven years of excavation and survey, the archaeological team has finally drawn the internal structure and solved the layers of mechanisms. Next, the reporter will follow the archaeological team and lead everyone into the Zhaoling Mausoleum of Qi and get closer to that brilliant era. Perhaps many mysteries that have not been explained so far will be solved today."

The team leader was Chu Tianming, a big name in the archaeological field. The computer in his hand projected a 4D model, which was zoomed in and out as he moved, showing many details of the tomb.

Everyone wore protective clothing and had built-in night vision goggles, but the reporter turned on the lighting function of the camera in order to allow netizens to see everything here more clearly.

When everyone in the live broadcast room saw the tall metal door that closed tightly, their breath was held.

The reporter's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He looked closer, but couldn't see any gap at all. He asked, "How do you open a door like this?"

Chu Tianming and several archaeological experts looked strange. Just as they were about to speak, a mechanical voice came from the door: [Please say the password.]

The reporter was surprised: "This door actually has a voice recognition system and a speech system?"

"Correct."

"What's the password?"

Chu Tianming pushed him aside, asked everyone to be quiet, took a deep breath, and said in a rhythmic manner: "Ji Chongyang and Xiao Jinglu are a match made in heaven."

Everyone in the live broadcast room & reporters: “???????”

【The password is correct. 】

With the sound of fine and slight metallic friction, the door opened from the middle, revealing a gap that was just wide enough for one person to pass through.

The air from five hundred years ago blended with the new world, and oil lamps lit up, extending into the invisible depths.

Everyone in the live broadcast room and reporters: "!!!!!!"

Is this okay?

This TM...Di Cheng CP is confirmed.

The reporter stuttered for the first time: "Is this true? No, is there such technology in that era?"

An archaeologist in the team smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it hard to imagine? Perhaps in that era, there were many advanced technologies that just didn't get promoted and passed down."

Chu Tianming was the first to enter the door, but the people behind him did not follow immediately. They watched the door close and repeated the password.

Everyone in the live broadcast room & reporters: =A=

The reporter said awkwardly: "It seems that Emperor Qi Mingzong and Prime Minister Ji are really in love."

It's a good idea to go to the tomb, but before you even enter the door, you have to eat a mouthful of stale dog food. It's really speechless.

They followed Chu Tianming to the main tomb. The reporter controlled the camera to move around from time to time to show the details to the netizens in the live broadcast room.

Thanks to modern technology, they detected all the mechanisms in advance and figured out how to deal with them. They followed Chu Tianming and walked safely to the main tomb chamber.

Surprisingly, there are no bugs or bats like those often seen in TV and movies.

Members of the archaeological team took out various equipment and protected the coffin in the center to prevent anything from coming into contact with the air and oxidizing.

After questioning Chu Tianming, the reporter began to look at the murals on the walls of the tomb.

The most eye-catching one is the one in the middle, where two young men stand side by side with rivers and mountains in the background. One of them is full of vigor and vitality, while the other is free and easy.

He keenly noticed the words at the bottom of the stone wall, and approached it, muttering: "The scenery of the country is shared with you."

"Captain Chu, here are two books."

The reporter heard the sound and went over.

They are called books, but each one is thicker than the coffin board of Emperor Mingzong of Qi.

Chu Tianming reprimanded the man, and after making sure that the book showed no signs of oxidation or corruption, he heaved a sigh of relief and then opened the book on top.

"In the fourteenth year of Chengguang, late June.

I still remember that day when I was studying Zuo Zhuan by myself in the palace, and suddenly I felt a wind blowing in and the candlelight flickered.

Chongyang came up to me and asked me if I wanted to be his disciple. He said he was sent by heaven, and that he was a fierce ghost that had crawled out of the 113 wronged souls of the Ji family and had come to seek justice.

I thought it was ridiculous at first, but looking back I am glad that I chose to become his disciple.”

"In the fourteenth year of Chengguang, on the seventh day of the seventh month, it was the Qiqiao Festival.

Pluto took the fifth daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion as his concubine, and the Imperial Master went to preside over the wedding. Chongyang left the palace to burn the Imperial Master's astrology pavilion, and brought back two books, which were mysterious. He didn't show them to me, which made me angry.

Later I found out that he was poisoned by a Gu, which was put there by that old bastard Imperial Master. I became even angrier.

There was a banquet in the palace that night. The old hag of the Queen Mother drugged me, wanting me to have sex with her niece Wen Ruyan so that I would have to marry that woman. I didn't want to be manipulated, so I mutilated myself to stay awake. Fortunately, Chongyang came to save me. He clearly had feelings for me, but he rejected my uh... kiss. "

After reading it, the reporter was very upset.

Chu Tianming's mouth twitched and he flipped the page at random.

"X month x day, 14th year of Chengguang

Tomorrow is the autumn hunting day. Today we are going to the royal hunting ground. I don’t know what Zishan was thinking. He insisted on getting in our car. I am the emperor, but Chongyang agreed. Humph.

Well, besides his medical skills and that face, he still has some abilities. He can actually read people by their aura. Chongyang actually likes me, but he thinks I am childish and refuses to be with me. "

The reporter was speechless: "Is this Qi Mingzong's little emotional diary?"

The two felt like their filters were broken, and they immediately decided to read another book.

Another unexpectedly serious book is the emperor's autobiography of his life, but nearly half of the autobiography is about Ji Chongyang, and there are also small sections talking about various minor details, which also have accurate dates. Together with the emotional diary, it gradually restores the truth of that era.

"Rong Zhu's fifth daughter, Rong Qingyan, whose mother saved Princess Zheng... She fell into the water at the beginning of the fourteenth year of Chengguang, and her personality changed drastically. She walked the world as the son of the other shore, secretly making salt, sugar, soap, weapons, etc. to make money..."

The reporter and Chu Tianming looked at each other and couldn't wait to turn the page.

"It is recorded in unofficial history that Xiao Jingchen lost his memory for a period of time, but recovered after hearing about Madam Yan's death. However, not long after, his whereabouts became unknown."

The reporter is also a history buff, so he immediately replied, "It should have happened after the Wen family was exterminated."

The two of them flipped through the pages quickly, reading ten lines at a glance, and finally found the relevant content.

"Rong Clan, it should be Rong Qingyan. She is indeed a time traveler, but Ji Chongyang denied that he is a time traveler."

"This is so weird."

"Maybe Ji Chongyang lied. I tend to think he lied."

They continued to flip through the book, trying to find evidence to support Ji Chongyang's lie, but they had to admit that this guy didn't seem to have thought about hiding anything.

"On x month x day of the twenty-fourth year of Chongguang, Chongyang said that it was too hot and he didn't want to sleep with me. Could it be that Zishan was right and he thought I was getting old and not energetic enough?

He started living with his weird babies again, saying he was going to have a…"

"Captain Chu, the coffin is open."

The sound from the other end interrupted the reporters' somewhat awkward reading. They immediately walked over and saw two skeletons sleeping in each other's arms.

Chu Tianming turned to the last page of his emotional diary.

"In the winter of the fifty-sixth year of Chongguang, my beloved Chongyang fell seriously ill. My magical powers could heal his injuries, but they could not cure his illness... Since we cannot live together, we only ask to die together."
