Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

Chapter 303

Seeing Qi Cheng working in the unit, the ancient people outside the sky were also very anxious. They all wanted to know what the connection was between the rocket and the red book and iron certificate.

It was not until Qi Cheng returned home and had dinner that the group finally waited for the moment when the answer was revealed.

"Okay, everyone's been waiting for this for a while now, so let me address the question from this morning." Qi Cheng searched for information and said, "my country's invention of rockets is thanks to a great scientist: Mr. Qian Xuesen."

"People after the Song Dynasty should have figured out what I said this morning."

The ancient people outside the sky were all stunned. Could the host explain it more clearly today? Why did they seem so confused?

What does this have to do with the Song Dynasty?

"Let me introduce you in detail. Qian Xuesen is from the Wuyue Qian family, and the founder of the Wuyue Qian family is Qian Liu, who was also the leader of a local separatist faction in the late Tang Dynasty."

"Because he quelled the rebellion, he was awarded a red-lettered iron certificate by Emperor Zhaozong of Tang. This certificate exempted him from nine death sentences, and his descendants from three. Although he later occupied the Wu and Yue regions, he kept the certificate."

"Furthermore, the Wuyue Kingdom has always maintained its borders and its people safe, with no large-scale disasters occurring within its borders. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, it was truly an exceptional existence."

"Later, when Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty was about to unify the country, the then leader of Wuyue also followed the wishes of his ancestors, turned his heart to the Central Plains, and surrendered directly."

Zhao Kuangyin finally understood that this great scientist in later generations was a descendant of the Qian family. This was really amazing. Then he looked at those useless people in his own family.

Although Huizong, Qingzong and Gaozu are all descendants of the second son, they are still part of the Zhao family.

I need to learn from the Qian family how to educate the next generation. I can't let my children and grandchildren become the kind that will be infamous for eternity.

I have also seen the Qian family's red book and iron certificate, but what does it have to do with this scientist in later generations?

"Let's continue with the story of the Red Book and Iron Certificate. This happened during the Ming Dynasty. As everyone knows, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite good at investigating corrupt officials."

"And a man named Qian Yongqin from the Qian family happened to run into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. According to the laws at the time, this man would most likely have his head chopped off."

"The Qian family had no choice but to produce the Red Book and Iron Certificate. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang refused to recognize even his own Red Book and Iron Certificate, and instead recognized the one issued by the Tang Dynasty."

Liu Che was a little surprised. There was such a saying. If Zhu Yuanzhang had punished the Qian family at that time, there would probably be no great scientist later.

Zhu Yuanzhang also did his best for the science of future generations.

From another perspective, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to demonstrate his orthodox status.

Although the Qin Dynasty did not have any red-lettered iron certificates, it did have the imperial seal. Having this in one's hand also meant that one was the legitimate emperor.

There's something wrong here. Didn't the Ming Dynasty have an imperial seal? Why would they need something like this to prove it? And judging by what the host said, he came to power legitimately."

Several ministers did not quite understand.

Ming Dynasty

Several elders looked at the red book and iron certificate in their hands with some dismay. The voice on the screen said that Zhu Yuanzhang did not recognize the thing he had issued, so they would still be liquidated, right?

As for the charges, they had already thought of them. This red seal and iron certificate could not pardon treason.

So Lao Zhu wants to kill his entire family.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed after looking at the sky curtain. His old brothers might have different ideas. The bad thing about this sky curtain was that once something was said, everyone would know it.

Some things are better left to you.

……

"In addition to Qian Xuesen, the Wuyue Qian family actually has many talented people, such as the writer Qian Zhongshu, the scientist Qian Sanchang, and so on."

"Let's get back to the point. The Wuyue Kingdom was indeed an outlier at the time. Let's compare it to other powers. The northern power at the time was initially the Later Liang Dynasty. Zhu Wen, who followed Huang Chao in the uprising, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and then buried the Tang Dynasty."

"From the historical records, Zhu Wen was a beast. He had affairs with his daughters-in-law and was eventually killed by one of his sons."

"However, Zhu Wen's son also failed to secure his throne. After fighting each other, he was replaced by another power, the Later Tang. Although the founder of the Later Tang was surnamed Li."

"But he wasn't a descendant of the Tang Dynasty either. He was a Shatuo named Li Keyong, a major enemy of the Later Liang Dynasty. Judging from later generations, he was probably best remembered for his Thirteen Guardians."

"The Thirteenth Taibao, Li Cunxiao, was a fierce general unrivaled in history, known as the "Li." However, after Li Keyong's death, the Later Tang Dynasty fell into strife, and Li Cunxiao was torn apart by five horses."

"The Later Tang was succeeded by the Later Jin. The founder of this power was Shi Jingtang. Although he was also a Shatuo, it is not an exaggeration to call him a traitor, because he sold the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitans and also surrendered to them."

"There's nothing much to say about the last part of the Later Han Dynasty. There's nothing particularly outstanding about it."

Daqin

Qin Shi Huang thought about it carefully. When the host mentioned Wu and Yue, he could still say that they were protecting the territory and the people. But the above four forces were probably in endless war.

And it should be because they were unable to defeat the Khitan, otherwise they would not have lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

From this perspective, Wu Yue Kingdom is better.

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin finally understood what the Later Tang Dynasty was. It turned out that it had nothing to do with his own Great Tang Dynasty. It was a force established by the Shatuo people.

It should be said that the Shatuo people were powerful, or that the Tang Dynasty was too weak in its late period.

"Your Majesty, the Shatuo and Dangxiang peoples have become more powerful, while the Tibetans, who fought us fiercely, have not made much of a fuss. Should we change our strategy?"

Zhang Sun Wuji stepped out and said, "I'm afraid the later Song Dynasty couldn't even touch Tubo. Judging from what the previous host said, they didn't even take back the Western Regions."

Li Shimin understood that they couldn't even defeat the small forces around them.

……

"We've already mentioned the Southern Tang and Southern Han in the south. Besides them and Wuyue, there are several other factions, but they're also unremarkable in history."

"Perhaps only Lady Huarui of the Later Shu Dynasty is somewhat famous. She has a poem that is quite powerful: 140,000 people took off their armor, and not one of them was a man."

The people outside the sky sighed together. This man cursed very harshly. He cursed all the men in this country. Wouldn't it be better not to fight?

Using knives and shedding blood is a more terrifying thing. Perhaps the entire Shu area will suffer a disaster.

……

Qi Cheng had almost finished reading the information. It was already past nine o'clock, so he picked up his phone and entered the game. After playing for a while, he felt like taking a break.
