Live History Broadcast: Opening Ceremony Spoilers - Our Ancestor Was Enraged

Chapter 572 Fu Jian: A different kind of kid!

No one dared to imagine what it would have been like to be an official back then, and have a leader like Shi Hu, or rather, Fu Sheng—how terrifying that would have been!

No wonder Fu Hong didn't like this child. As the saying goes, you can tell what a child will be like at three and what he will be like at seven. If he was so irritable when he was young, he would naturally become even more so when he grew up.

Anyone who tries to persuade them to die will be killed. Who can bear it? Day after day, they live in constant fear and anxiety!

Some court officials, having a volatile leader, immediately understood the predicament: it was all about the heart-pounding thrill, plus the risk of being killed off! Compared to Fu Sheng, even the volatile boss seemed somewhat approachable!

After all, what leader would be so twisted as to cripple someone else as well?

……

"This kind of work atmosphere is oppressive and suffocating, and there is always a risk to life. Soon, someone said that he was going to rebel against you, but the result was not satisfactory, and he was murdered."

"Because of the rebellion that occurred around him, Fu Sheng saw everyone as a villain, especially his uncle's brother Fu Jian."

"He was wary of the Fu brothers, and the Fu brothers shared the same sentiment. Since he ascended the throne, he has not done a single good deed. Instead, he has become the king of hell for the court officials. When he calls out names, a large number of them fall down in an instant. The court officials have long since lost all hope in him!"

"Therefore, when the Fu brothers' hastily assembled 'Squad to Kill the Tyrant Fu Sheng' broke into the palace, the guards did not resist, pretending not to see them and allowing them to surround Fu Sheng."

Guard: I can't see anything! I quit!

"However, Fu Sheng was still drunk and confused, and asked his attendants: Who broke in? At this point, Fu Jian and the others wanted to laugh, but they held back and said: It was the rebels."

"But Fu Sheng, still unaware of the gravity of the situation, insisted on shouting: 'If you are a thief, why don't you pay your respects at once!'"

"By this point, everyone couldn't hold back any longer. Since this idiot hadn't figured it out yet, they were going to show him who was in charge now!"

"Therefore, in 357 AD, Fu Jian ascended the throne, took the title of Heavenly King of Great Qin, and changed the era name to Yongxing."

"Fu Jian was undoubtedly one of the most capable emperors among the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Five Barbarians. Naturally, the Magic Book Catalogue did not overlook such a figure."

"For example, he had prophetic writings on his back... and he was born after a twelve-month pregnancy, with the whole room shining brightly when he was born. Of course, after carefully reading the history books, I found that most emperors had such amazing backgrounds!"

Emperors of all timelines: Oh no! It's become a wholesale deal!

"Therefore, Fu Jian, with his unusual appearance, was much favored by his grandfather Fu Hong compared to Fu Sheng. But to get back to the point, Fu Sheng, who was then the emperor of the Former Qin, still had a lot to do."

"At this time, the Former Qin was in chaos, plagued by war, natural disasters, bandits, and so on, and the people were suffering. Therefore, Fu Jian decided to do something to change the situation of the times and the country's misery."

"First, they purged the treacherous officials from Fu Sheng's time, and then they reinstated the unfortunate ministers who had been wrongfully killed in the past."

"Like other Sinicized non-Han people, he promoted and made good use of scholars of Han origin, such as Wang Meng, who encouraged agriculture, established schools, and ordered the recommendation of loyal, filial, benevolent, and righteous people with moral character. He also said that members of the imperial clan were not talented and had no work to do."

"Overall, shortly after he ascended the throne, he did not undertake any major undertakings or engage in any foreign military campaigns."

"Instead, he allowed the people to rest and recuperate, and formulated strategies, so under his rule, a situation emerged where officials worked hard, farmers had enough to eat, and the people were happy."
