【China's land area of 960 million square kilometers: four dynasties made great contributions
The Great Qin Empire - Qin Shi Huang unified the world, conquered the Xiongnu in the north, conquered the Baiyue in the south, and expanded the territory to Hainan Island. At its peak, the territory was about 340 million square kilometers.
The Han Empire - Emperor Wu of Han conquered 36 states in the Western Regions, completely opening the door to the Western Regions. Emperor Xuan of Han established the Western Regions Protectorate, and the Western Regions were included in my country's territory for the first time. The territory of the Han Empire reached more than 600 million square kilometers, leaving behind the strongest people of the era who said "Anyone who openly offends the mighty Han will be punished even if he is far away."
The Great Tang Dynasty - All nations came to pay tribute. Emperor Taizong of Tang established the Anbei Protectorate, which for the first time incorporated the northern grasslands into the Chinese territory. During its heyday, it stretched from the Sea of Japan in the east to Siberia in the north, Central Asia in the west, and Hue in Vietnam in the south.
In the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji defeated Mongolia, and the Qing emperor became the Great Khan of Mongolia. Yongzheng recovered Tibet, and Qianlong defeated the Dzungar Khanate and recovered Xinjiang. This laid the foundation for today's modern territory of China.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Li Si congratulated the First Emperor after looking at the sky curtain. Ying Zheng replied, "No need to be polite." Looking at the map in his hand, he must expand the territory more than in history this time. Looking at the territory of China behind, he felt that it was not enough, not enough.
The Tang Dynasty was now cheering and rejoicing. All nations were coming to pay tribute. How wonderful it sounded. Li Shimin looked at the red faces in the court and knew that they must be very excited. Even Wei Zheng didn't say anything at this moment. Military generals like Cheng Yaojin pointed to the area on the sky and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, we have to take these places too." Even the civil officials in the court did not sing a different tune at this moment. After all, their majesty was a man of great talent and strategy, and the area on the sky must belong to the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Che was very excited at this moment. The news on the sky curtain brought him great encouragement. When it came to fighting the Huns, everyone in the court was a little dragging their feet. Fortunately, he had Wei Qing. When he saw the Western Regions, he thought of a person - Zhang Qian, but now he didn't know where he was.
At this moment, the news provided by Tianmu was good news for the Qing Dynasty. They thought that the people in the future would be Han Chinese and would be dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty, but at least it was still good news for the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi was thinking about which son or descendant of Yongzheng and Qianlong was good.
Tianmu is passionate about the story, and ancient people are numb about the copying. Tianmu, you don't need to rest! Leng Xiaoyun didn't know their resentment. If she knew, she would only say that people nowadays stay up late, and going to bed in the early morning is considered early. Turn off your phone and treat food with piety. Haha, thank Mr. Yuan in your heart for making all Chinese people full and no longer hungry.
The last thing people from all dynasties saw was the tempting smell of spicy dishes. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for the sky to darken, and the emperors of all dynasties asked their ministers to go back and rest. It seemed that the day was over.
Except for some people who have to coax their children at home, after all, it is really uncomfortable to see the poison late at night but not be able to eat it.
As emperors, they must not indulge in food, but they can still eat some delicious side dishes, which makes them much happier than ordinary people. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the condiments were even less, and the Qin emperor only ate twice a day. When the sky was quiet, he had to go back to review the memorials.
--------
The next day, Leng Xiaoyun suddenly felt a surge of heat, and immediately there was only one thought in her mind: Oh no, it's true, so she went to the bathroom to change her clothes. After leaving the bathroom, she leaned against the wall and lay back on the bed, curling up her stomach, and couldn't help crying in her heart - ah! If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten so spicy yesterday. Her physique is what all girls avoid the most: once she has her period, her hands and feet are cold and the quilt can't be warmed for a long time. She can't eat spicy or cold food, otherwise she will have even more unbearable abdominal pain. It's not a lie that she rolls on the ground in pain.
I groped around the bedside and called my aunt, asking her to bring some blood-boosting ingredients home today. I quickly took out a warm pack from the bedside drawer, and after applying it, my abdomen slowly felt a source of heat, and I finally felt a little more comfortable.
As time passed, I gradually fell asleep again, and it was two hours later when I woke up again.
Today, the sky curtain was silent for a long time. When I looked up and saw the light screen was still in the sky, I felt relieved. So, the farmers worked in the fields early, and the court officials went to court as usual. The emperors saw that the light screen would not only appear for one day, so they devoted themselves to the government affairs in the court...
"Bang, bang, bang!" The housekeeper rushed in after buying things at the vegetable market. She calculated the time. Oh, it was almost Leng Xiaoyun's period. No wonder she called her. It happened that she had to take a leave of absence yesterday because of something at home. Bailai planned to come back this afternoon. Since the master's family had something to do, she had to come back quickly.
It's really strange to think that some people can eat anything during this special period and nothing happens, while some people do everything to keep warm but still feel terrible pain.
After boiling the water, the aunt knocked on Leng Xiaoyun's bedroom door, brought a basin of hot water down and woke her up.
"Ah, Auntie, you're back. Sorry to bother you." Leng Xiaoyun asked her aunt to go and do her work. She would feel much more comfortable after soaking her feet in hot water and it would not hurt so much.
The skylight was opened when the housekeeper came back. At first some people thought that a thief had come in, but after seeing what happened later they realized that they were wrong.
A young lady said, "This must be the nanny of the woman on the sky curtain."
Someone responded, "Somewhat, but why do people in later generations have so few servants in their homes?"
"The people in the future have such a good life! The bedding looks so warm, there are crystals on the head, and there are so many books. Can women in the future also study?" Someone asked doubtfully. But no one answered him. Although it was not the first time to see the living environment of the people in the future, he was still shocked. It was still a little unbelievable to think that they lived in the high-rise building he saw yesterday.
Later, some great scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties saw that women in later generations actually took off their shoes and socks to wash their feet in public, and they angrily cursed, "How can women in later generations be so dissolute? How can women's feet be seen by others? Who would dare to marry such a woman?" Fortunately, Leng Xiaoyun couldn't see it, otherwise she would have to curse with this group of sour scholars. If she doesn't see it, she won't be bothered. Why not just close her eyes? It would be best not to open them forever.
Women in the Ming and Qing dynasties shed tears when they looked at the white, tender and healthy feet of women on the sky. It hurt so much. Walking on the ground with bound feet was like walking on the edge of a knife. When they opened the bound feet at night, they would fester and bleed. They started to bind their feet when they were five or six years old, and often cried all night. In order to pursue the "three-inch golden lotus" that secular people wanted, they would not hesitate to cut flesh and bones to achieve a pair of feet that were praised by the world.
Now they are filled with tears when they see that people in later generations no longer have to bind their feet. They wish they could have a pair of healthy and normal feet.
At this time, in a wealthy family, a girl wailed, "Mom, it hurts so much, I don't want to bind my feet, please don't bind my feet anymore." The girl's mother hugged her and cried bitterly. She had also gone through this, so how could she not know the pain, but this world was even more difficult for women. The girl's father came and looked at the sky, hoping that this torture would really be abolished.
------
Suddenly, everyone noticed words appearing on the skylight.
Some people found that as long as they thought of what they wanted to say, they could express it on the sky curtain. So densely packed words flashed on the light curtain, but they were soon replaced by others. Someone said he was from the Qin Dynasty, and then someone else said he was from the Han Dynasty. One by one, the bullet screens of all dynasties were collected. The emperor and his ministers also knew that this light curtain existed in all dynasties, not just theirs.
Some people soon discovered that chatting and talking on it was fine, but once they talked about history, such as what happened in the previous dynasty, it seemed that people were not allowed to reveal the historical trajectory, but they couldn't, so what about this little girl from later generations? Maybe she could.
At this moment, System 438 looked at the images conveyed by Wanjie and nodded with satisfaction, but he sighed when he thought of the energy stored in the background. It was not enough and now he only had the ability to open the barrage. It seemed that the host had to collect more energy.
Leng Xiaoyun looked at the time and it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning. She thought she was bored and didn't want to look at her phone, so she turned on the TV to see if there were any good TV shows.
I turned on the children's channel unconsciously, and watching the familiar characters and pictures, I couldn't help but feel like reminiscing about my childhood. When I was a child, I didn't watch much else, but I watched a lot of cartoons. But when I grew up, adults would say, "You are so old, you are still young, why are you still watching cartoons?" But every time I watch a video and hear the voice and song, I have an urge to cry.
At the beginning of the scene, a monkey burst out from a stone. It ran freely on the beach and laughed loudly. Its cheerful appearance made people feel happy. Then the stone monkey lived in Huaguo Mountain, traveled across the ocean to learn skills, went to the Dragon Palace to get the golden hoop, proclaimed himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and went to heaven to make trouble. The story gradually unfolded...
The system watched the energy flow into it bit by bit and flew into its body, and was very happy. Seeing Leng Xiaoyun playing Journey to the West, it specially annotated on the light screen of each dynasty: This story is false, please do not imitate it!!! It also specially emphasized the symbol, after all, if an accident happened because of its innocent imitation, it would be a big sin.
The ancients were amazed to see the mountains, sea, sky and monkeys appear on the black screen hanging on the wall. It was just like the iron box that people often hold in their hands. Last time, they noticed that people appeared in the hands of passers-by at night, and the people holding the mobile phone could talk and interact with the people inside. They were amazed. Now they are very confused to see so many scenes on this black box. How did they do it?
When Wu Cheng'en saw Journey to the West and Sun Wukong, he felt very familiar with them. Wasn't this what he was currently writing? He never thought that it would be performed in later generations. He felt really proud.
Children naturally love this kind of animation with fantasy and imagination as its theme. In ancient times, entertainment was limited and the poor were probably more likely to live in the mountains and fields. Seeing cartoons played on the sky screen was very novel to them.
So, the children holding sticks played with them as golden hoop sticks, and called themselves the Monkey King who was going to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace. But everyone knew that this made-up story was purely imaginary, so they just treated it as a fun thing.
Emperor Ying Zheng and others looked at the sky curtain today and saw that there seemed to be no important information, so they lowered their heads and continued to handle government affairs. They only asked people to keep an eye on it and report any other information immediately.
