"Boy, if the emperor asks you, tell him the truth."
When Li Yuan asked about his evaluation of him, Li Er jumped out before Zhou Yu could even speak.
The way his nose turned upwards looked like smugness was almost written all over his face.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu curled his lips subtly before saying calmly, "Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong, and Song Taizu. Although the last one is a bit unreliable, the previous ones are also historically verified."
"You mean to say that Erlang can be ranked among the top three among the Chinese emperors?"
At this moment, Li Yuan was completely shocked.
He knew that his second son had the potential to be a hero, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.
The Qin Emperor and Emperor Wu of Han were such geniuses that people looked up to them.
How could his second son be as famous as him?
"That's right. If we don't consider the order of time, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, could even compete with Emperor Wu of Han in terms of civil and military achievements. It's a pity..."
"Boy, I asked you to tell the truth, but I didn't ask you to fabricate something about me."
When Li Er first heard that he was comparable to Emperor Wu of Han, his face was full of pride.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu turned and almost sprained his waist.
Just when he was about to stop Zhou Yu with a bad look on his face, Li Yuan beside him directly pushed him aside and said, "Boy, what's the pity?"
"It's a pity that he is not even as good as Qin Shi Huang when it comes to educating the next generation."
Although Li Er was winking at him frantically, Zhou Yu did not cover up for him. Instead, he pointed out his problem directly.
Of course, on the one hand, he was watching Li Er showing off, and on the other hand, he also wanted to remind Li Er in front of Li Yuan.
Stinky Han, dirty Tang, unclear Song are not just a joke.
Now he has become more and more closely bound to the Tang Dynasty.
If we allow the rolling wheels of history to roll forward, almost no one present will be in any good situation.
Besides, he had targeted Li Tai before.
Although that kid is not a big deal now, he is very ambitious!
If he grows up and wants to do something to me secretly, it will be impossible to defend against it.
Rather than worrying about it in the future, it is better to put the problem on the table now.
Anyway, I have placed the "New Book of Tang" and the "Old Book of Tang" in front of you. It depends on what you do next.
Originally, Li Er was still winking at Zhou Yu, but after listening to Zhou Yu's story, he stopped talking instantly.
Li Yuan, who was standing opposite him, was even more surprised when he saw this. "Erlang is such a bad parent? Could it be that his son also followed his example and entered Xuanwu Gate?"
Li Er: ...
Okay.
Originally, Zhou Yu was only talking about the education issues of the next generation.
But when it came to Aye, he became his own son, imitating the Xuanwu Gate Incident that he had done back then.
Although there is indeed some connection between them.
But is it really okay to slap someone in the face in public like this?
Seeing that Li Er's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot, Zhou Yu ignored his expression and continued to speak directly: "Although it didn't repeat the mistakes of Xuanwu Gate back then, it's almost the same.
Because he doted on Li Tai too much, Li Tai developed unnecessary ambitions, which made Crown Prince Li Chengqian feel a sense of crisis.
In order to keep his position as crown prince, Li Chengqian wanted to imitate the Xuanwu Gate Incident of that year, but failed and was deposed.
As for Li Tai, he was demoted for several years and never had the chance to become emperor again.
The two princes fought fiercely, and both were ultimately defeated, which directly led to a break in the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Li Zhi ascended the throne and Wu Zhao ruled the country from behind the curtain, creating a situation of two saints ruling the country.
Wu Zetian was already involved in government affairs during Li Zhi's reign, and continued to rule the country as the empress dowager after Li Zhi's death.
It was not until 690 that Wu Zetian deposed Emperor Ruizong of Tang and officially proclaimed herself emperor, establishing the Wu Zhou Dynasty and calling herself the Holy and Divine Emperor.
BANG!!!
When Li Yuan first heard that Li Chengqian was going to follow Li Er's example in rebellion, his face still had an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this."
But when he heard that the Tang Dynasty had only been passed down for a few generations before being stolen by a woman, he couldn't help but punch the coffee table hard.
As for Li Er, he stared at Zhou Yu with resentment on his face.
Seeing that Li Yuan was so angry, Zhou Yu was really worried that he would get hurt.
So he quickly continued, "Ahem, don't get excited yet. Wu Zhao was only emperor for one generation. After her death, the throne was returned to you, the descendants of the Li family, and the Tang Dynasty was restored."
Having said that, Zhou Yu was too lazy to say any more.
He reached under the coffee table and took out two books.
"Here are the New Book of Tang and the Old Book of Tang. I'm not sure how authentic they are. But comparatively speaking, I think the Old Book of Tang is more reliable than the New Book of Tang."
After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Li Yuan and his son, who had different expressions on their faces. He stood up and took the little girl hiding in Empress Zhangsun's arms, "Come on, Mingda, I'll take you to the swimming pool for a swim."
"Little Nengjun, why is Grandpa angry?"
Although the little guy is young, his head is not stupid.
The situation just now was obviously instigated by Xiao Nengjun.
Of course, out of trust in Zhou Yu, the little guy did not ask directly, but asked indirectly why Li Yuan was angry.
Seeing the little girl actually playing tricks, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, scratched her nose and said, "Your grandfather is angry with your father! Let's get away quickly, otherwise when the grandfather spanks your father, we won't be implicated."
"Ah, so that's what it looks like. Let's run quickly~"
Li Er: ...
Li Yuan: ...
Looking at Zhou Yu's receding back, Empress Changsun couldn't help but sigh.
She actually knew about these situations a long time ago.
Just thinking that the child is still young, I acted like an ostrich.
As for why Zhou Yu brought up this matter at this time, she had some guesses in her mind.
Seeing Li Yuan and Li Er staring at each other with eyes wide open, she coughed lightly and then said softly, "I already know who that woman is. When I return, I will take the child to my side and adopt her as my adopted daughter."
Empress Changsun's idea was very simple. Since Wu Meiniang had seized the Tang Dynasty through Li Zhi, all she had to do was prevent Li Zhi from becoming emperor.
Anyway, we already know in advance about the open and secret struggles between Gao Ming and Qing Que. As long as this problem can be solved, the throne will still belong to Gao Ming.
At that time, coupled with the relationship of brother and sister, I believe that Wu Meiniang will definitely not be able to turn the tables.
If it really doesn't work, the worst that can happen is to issue an order in advance to prevent Wu Shihuo's daughter from entering the palace.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to Guanyinbi."
Upon hearing Empress Changsun's arrangement, Li Er quickly took advantage of the situation to back off.
Although he had not yet accepted Wu Meiniang as a talented woman, with two volumes of Tang history in front of him, he would not be able to open up to her even if he had eight mouths.
Fortunately, Empress Changsun was open-minded and willing to help him exonerate himself.
Otherwise he wouldn't even have a place to reason.
