Chapter 251 Subject: These Days, Being a Subject Requires Taking a Beating
A spoiled young master from the Song Dynasty: This chess game has made me famous overnight, hahaha!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty: But why didn't the King of Wu run away?!
A young farming expert from the Tang Dynasty: He was probably stunned and didn't realize what was happening. He was so young back then!
……
Lin Ke, on the other hand, was quite puzzled at first, wondering what kind of chessboard could kill someone in one fell swoop, until she saw the chessboard in the Yangling Museum and was utterly shocked!
In her generous and lively spirit, she found a few pictures of Liubo chess boards and sighed, "Now I understand why Liu Qi was able to use this board to destroy the Crown Prince of Wu. You really have to be careful when playing this kind of game, because you weren't wearing a helmet, which could be risky!"
Liu Qi, the Great Chess Master of the Han Dynasty: ?????**
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: Good heavens, the chessboard is this big!
A spoiled young man from the Ming Dynasty: So this is what the Liubo chessboard looks like!
People from other dimensions who see such a large chessboard could easily injure someone if they swung it around to beat them!
No wonder Prince Liu Xian of Wu was crushed to death! It seems one shouldn't play chess with people who have bad tempers; it's dangerous!
Liu Qi: Let me see who plays chess without a helmet!!!
……
"There is an interesting story about Liu Qi. When he was seriously ill in his later years, perhaps to consider his affairs after death, or perhaps to test him, he summoned Consort Li, the mother of Crown Prince Liu Rong."
Liu Qi tentatively asked: "If you were to die, would you be willing to treat the other concubines and children kindly?" Most people would probably pretend to be kind, but Consort Li wouldn't tolerate it. When her temper flared up, she directly cursed him as an "old dog."
"So Liu Qi was very angry, but instead of being angered to death, he was actually brought back to life and even lived for ten years. Therefore, Consort Li was jokingly called 'the first goddess physician of the Han Dynasty' by later generations."
"After Liu Qi recovered from his illness, he began his path of deposing the empress and the crown prince. Of course, deposed crown princes never had a good ending, so Liu Rong was eventually forced to commit suicide by Emperor Jing. After learning all this, Consort Li died in despair."
Finally, Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, began to establish his "precious son" Liu Che as the crown prince.
"However, no one expected that the crown prince whom Liu Qi re-established would later achieve great things and have a very high presence in history."
A spoiled young man from the Song Dynasty: What a pitiful crown prince! Actually, he didn't make any major mistakes!
A bystander in the Ming Dynasty commented: "It seems being the crown prince isn't such a good thing after all!"
A farming expert from the Tang Dynasty: Even His Majesty the Pig wants to change the crown prince; it seems these two are evenly matched.
……
Liu Qiren from another timeline is stunned. Can we please skip this part about him?
Now that the whole world knows about these two things, I feel like all my secrets have been exposed!
During his lifetime, no one dared to discuss him, and he had to keep his dissatisfaction to himself!
But when he saw the young Che'er looking at him with curiosity, even he, who was usually very composed, could not resist!
But could he perhaps ask Che'er to visit his tomb when he goes to the future?
……
However, Lin Ke, on the other hand, while spared him, still did not let his father, Emperor Wen, off the hook.
"As the saying goes, nine out of ten people suffer from hemorrhoids. Many people have this problem. For example, there is an interesting story about Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, from the Western Han Dynasty."
During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty
Upon hearing this, Liu Heng instinctively felt it wasn't a good thing! After all, that place was... (PS: Some say it's a boil on the back or neck)
Moreover, judging from Miss Lin's rather disgusted expression, this is definitely not a good thing!
Liu Heng couldn't help but feel nervous and worried!
……
The live broadcast continues.
"Everyone in the Liu family knows that he's bisexual, so Emperor Wen was no exception. He had a male favorite named Deng Tong."
"He was originally a minor official in the palace, managing ships. One day, the emperor dreamed that he was going to heaven, and a minor official pushed him up there."
"After waking up, he followed the marks he had written down in the dream to find the yellow-haired man, who was Deng Tong."
"Deng Tong didn't have any other special abilities, but he was cautious and good at flattering people, which made him highly valued by Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen would often visit Deng Tong's home during his free time."
"Once, Emperor Wen sent a fortune teller to see Deng Tong, but unexpectedly the fortune teller said that Deng Tong would be poor and destitute in the future, almost like a beggar."
"This comment puzzled Emperor Wen greatly. He was the one who gave him high office and a high salary. As long as he was in power, how could Deng Tong be poor?!"
"Therefore, to prevent Deng Tong from ending up like that, Emperor Wen bestowed upon him the copper mines of Yan Dao in Shu Commandery, allowing Deng Tong to mint his own coins. In no time, [Deng Tong coins] circulated throughout the country!"
A spoiled young man from the Song Dynasty: I have to say, he is the "true love" of Deng Tong!
A romantic scholar from the Tang Dynasty: The Liu family has some very distinctive characteristics, hahaha!
Big-Handed Liu Zhuzhu: ...(｀へ′) Mind your own business!!
A bystander in the Ming Dynasty exclaimed: "My goodness! A male concubine! Hahaha, the Liu family really knows how to play the game!"
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: Anyway, our Zhu family doesn't have anyone like that! A man should have masculinity!
……
"Now comes the important part. Once upon a time, Emperor Wen's hemorrhoids flared up, causing him unbearable pain."
"That place was covered in pustules and ulcerated so badly that it almost drove Emperor Wen crazy. He was in so much pain all day long that he could only stay in bed and rest."
"The medical skills at that time were not very advanced. A group of imperial physicians prescribed medicine, but Emperor Wen's condition did not improve. In fact, Emperor Wen fainted from the pain. If it were someone with a bad temper, they would have killed all of them!"
Seeing Emperor Wen in such pain, Deng Tong was extremely anxious. After all, Emperor Wen was his powerful backer, so he gritted his teeth and came up with the idea of sucking out the sores.
"No sooner said than done, Deng Tong pounced on Emperor Wen and began sucking the pus from the festering wound. And you know what? This method really worked."
"Emperor Wen woke up slowly not long after. He felt the pain subside and was still puzzled, but when he saw Deng Tong do this, he was both shocked and deeply moved. He thought to himself, 'In critical moments, it is Deng Tong who can help!'"
A young master from a prominent family in the Song Dynasty: Ugh! Ugh! I'm about to throw up!
A spoiled young man from the Tang Dynasty: Holy crap! This guy's ruthless! Ugh... just thinking about it makes me sick!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: Ugh... I feel so nauseous I could throw up!
A farming expert from the Song Dynasty: Is this even edible?! He deserves to earn this money and status; I certainly wouldn't!
A scholar-official from the Han Dynasty: This is outrageous!
……
"Now for another important point: one day when Crown Prince Liu Qi went to see Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen happened to ask Deng Tong: 'Who in the world do you think loves him the most?'"
"Deng Tong said that it was the Crown Prince, which was very awkward because the Crown Prince had just entered the palace, and Emperor Wen had already figured out how to express [who loved him the most]."
Crown Prince Liu Qi, who had just entered, asked: "Should I leave?!"
"So the crown prince received his father's request: to suck the sores from his wounds. This was something that almost no one could do, so the crown prince reluctantly approached the sores, but he was so disgusted that he vomited as soon as he got close!"
"When Emperor Wen saw this, he was not very happy. How could Deng Tong do it, but you, my eldest son, could not? So he dismissed the Crown Prince."
"However, our Piggy Dad is a vengeful person. After Emperor Wen passed away, he started picking on Deng Tong."
"In the end, they seized the copper mountain and confiscated all of Deng Tong's property, which was then turned over to the national treasury. It is said that Deng Tong later ended up on the streets, which truly proved the prophecy."
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: Damn, that's disgusting!
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: My goodness, who could do that!
A bystander in the Ming Dynasty: Seriously, this isn't something an ordinary person could do! yue……???
An official from the Ming Dynasty: I sympathize with that crown prince, he's so pitiful!
……
Liu Che in another timeline never expected that his father had such a record. Not to mention his father, even he felt disgusted and wanted to vomit!
……
Lin Ke almost vomited from disgust. She really didn't expect that people in ancient times were so wild and could do such a thing!
Ancient people: We are not, we don't have! (Triple denial)
Lin Ke drank several glasses of water and finally felt a little better. She continued, "Most of the causes of this problem are poor eating habits, a preference for spicy food, excessive drinking, prolonged sitting or standing, and lack of hygiene. I will post the treatment ointment after the live broadcast, please purchase it yourself."
People in other timelines who suffered from the same problem had their eyes light up – this is great! It saves them from having to secretly go to the doctor!
Miss Lin is practically their second mother!
