Chapter 580: The Aftermath of the Livestream
As the live stream continued, Lin Ke felt as if a century had passed, roughly equivalent to the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Western and Eastern Jin Dynasties were not on the same level, yet the time span was only a hundred years.
The sins committed by the Sima family will eventually be punished on their descendants. But we'll leave the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Liu Yu's Northern Expedition for another time.
"We've talked for so long, so let's say goodbye for now. But I can briefly summarize the outcome: during the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Han and non-Han peoples ultimately influenced and integrated with each other."
"Most importantly, the Sima family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also perished a few decades later, and not a single direct relative of Sima Yi was spared. He spent most of his life scheming and plotting, but what did his descendants leave behind besides infamy for the dynasty they founded?"
"I wonder if Sima Yi, upon hearing this, still regrets his decision?"
Sima Yi:...
Lin Ke then ended the live stream immediately without giving them time to process the information. As for how to resolve the issue, she left it to them to figure out!
Cao Cao's brow had been furrowed ever since he learned that the Sima family had usurped the Wei throne. He stared at the screen in his hand for a long time, seeing nothing but the words "The broadcast has ended."
At this moment, his thoughts were racing, several ideas flashed through his mind, and his heart was filled with melancholy.
From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, it took forty or fifty years. In his life, he was involved in the struggle for power among various warlords, and he used the emperor to command the other lords. He thought and did things that made him worthy of being called a hero by later generations.
But no one ever imagined that the Han people would be oppressed by barbarians to this extent, not for three hundred hours or three hundred days, but for more than three hundred years!
The limit of a dynasty is three hundred years. In those days and nights, a unified dynasty could have been established, making the Qin and Sui dynasties envious and jealous. But the result was that the people lived in misery day and night.
Only aristocratic families lived like human beings, rushing one after another to seize power and high positions, as if it were their destiny.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suppressed his turbulent thoughts and sighed deeply. He had initially thought Sima Yi was a talented person, but he turned out to be disheartening!
There are many strategists in the country. Sun Quan has Zhou Yu, and Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang. Yet, when it comes to entrusting their sons to others, some people do it to such an extent that it makes Cao Wei look like a fool!
Oh, Sun Quan was lucky to live so long!
"Go and summon Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and the others to come and discuss this. Isn't he the cunning strategist of the Three Kingdoms? Let him think of a solution!"
"Also, instruct Xu Chu to treat Sima Yi's entire family well, making sure they experience our [enthusiasm]!"
Even if it were simple, killing his entire family wouldn't quell the hatred in my heart!
The best course of action now is to meet with Liu Bei and Sun Quan to discuss future matters together!
Cao Cao watched the departing figure, remaining silent for a long time. This time, a change was necessary!
Boss Cao: I need to hold a big meeting!
Liu Bei & Sun Quan: When we encounter problems, we should start from the source of the problem.
Zhang Fei: Me too! Let's get him!
......
Meanwhile, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had already thrown away the light screen after the live broadcast ended. It was made of some unknown material, and it was impossible to break it even if it was bumped.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not witness the devastation of the Five Barbarian Invasions firsthand, he lived through the late Yuan Dynasty, working as a beggar and a monk to survive.
It seems that, regardless of which one it is, the only ones who will have a hard time surviving are ordinary people!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, everyone wanted to be a hero in troubled times, and everyone wanted to establish a great cause to pacify the country. But in reality, didn't they all fall one after another?
Hmph, think about Zhu Biao's rise from a beggar to the throne, how much effort he put in, but who would have thought that the second generation would start fighting amongst themselves? Zhu Yunwen, that thing, didn't inherit his father's good qualities at all, and was led by the nose by a few civil officials!
Putting everything else aside, the fourth prince did a good job, otherwise later generations wouldn't have called him the Yongle Emperor. But now that Biao'er is still alive, he has to think things through carefully!
