Chapter 449 Making a Grand Debut
However, apart from Qidian, other apps probably won't be able to see my daily writings.
Therefore, the following explanation is given for Chapter 445, the Dragon Boat Festival:
Before the Tang Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival was called "Duanwu".
The Dragon Boat Festival originally meant the fifth day of each month.
The reason why Duanwu was renamed "Duanwu" is because Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's birthday is August 5th. At that time, the prime minister Song Yu wanted to please the emperor and avoid the taboo of the character "five", so he changed "Duanwu" to "Duanwu".
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (September 8, 685 – May 3, 762), grandson of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (Li Zhi) and Empress Wu Zetian, and third son of Emperor Ruizong of Tang (Li Dan), hence also known as Li Sanlang, was born to Consort Dou. ======The above is from Baidu.
This story is set in an alternate history, during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, hence the date is the Dragon Boat Festival, not an input method error.

As soon as Ding Mingxuan spoke, everyone who was pondering something looked in his direction.
Ding Mingxuan was quite satisfied with being the MVP who was the center of attention. He picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said, "I have received information that the Martial Emperor is indeed a time traveler, and a time traveler with top-notch martial arts skills."
After saying this, Ding Mingxuan picked up his teacup again, giving everyone else in the room ample time to think.
Li San Niang wasn't really thinking about whether Emperor Wu had martial arts skills. After all, since joining the Bad People, she had already subtly learned a little about Emperor Wu from Mr. Bu Ke.
Li San Niang already knew that Emperor Wu was skilled in martial arts.
The problem now is: "There are other people behind Ding Mingxuan!"
Moreover, he was someone who had access to Emperor Wu, or at least someone who had the ability to obtain information within the palace.
Otherwise, this kind of news wouldn't be known to just anyone.
At this moment, Li San Niang felt a little sad.
"I just want to be a good female doctor and, if I have the ability, improve the medical care for women at this time."
I really don't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
"I'm speechless. They just killed the Holy Son of the Temple Sect a while ago, and now another villain has appeared?"
However, whatever Li San Niang was thinking, she pretended to be slightly surprised on the surface, so as not to expose herself.
At the same time, Li Sanniang glanced at the others out of the corner of her eye and saw that Xing Yu and Chang Siyuan both looked thoughtful.
Of the remaining two, Bi Qionglan and Jiang Yijun, Jiang Yijun's expression seemed to suggest that she already knew.
Grandma Bi Qionglan also had a slightly surprised expression, as if saying, "So that's how it is."
Seeing that everyone had digested the news, Ding Mingxuan continued, "Furthermore, we are not the first batch of transmigrators; there were other transmigrators before us."
But they were either dead, had been incorporated into the military, or had faded into obscurity.
When Ding Mingxuan mentioned the word "death," he deliberately scanned the entire room from left to right, which seemed intentional.
No matter what, if one had the chance to be reborn after death, everyone would cherish it.
Not to mention, someone like Li San Niang, who has a lovely daughter, a caring family, her own career, and is more than ten years younger after transmigrating, with a bright future ahead of her, how could she not be afraid of death?
"Is Ding Mingxuan's emphasis on death intentionally meant to instill fear and create hostility towards the Martial Emperor, perhaps even a desire to rebel?"
Li San Niang thought to herself, "Who among us is truly innocent?"
Chang Siyuan thought to himself, "Ding Mingxuan has no good intentions!"
I want to see what he's up to.
No one in the room responded to Ding Mingxuan's words; they all kept their mouths shut, but what they were thinking in their hearts was anyone's guess.
Ding Mingxuan didn't mind that no one answered, and continued, "Emperor Wu made a list that recorded strange and unusual people and events from all over the Tang Dynasty."
I think we should all be on that list.
Li San Niang exchanged glances with Xing Yu and Chang Siyuan beside her. Ding Mingxuan was truly astonishing at this moment.
The more Li Sanniang thought about it, the more she felt that what Ding Mingxuan said must be true. Since there were bad people in the shadows, then after Emperor Wu, as the highest ruler of the Tang Dynasty, gained power after transmigrating, she secretly set up a department to ensure her safety and rule. Its function was similar to the Western Depot of the Ming Dynasty or the Sticky Rod Office of the Qing Dynasty, specifically to investigate and deal with transmigrators.
That makes perfect sense.
"My God, is this one of the duties of the Bad People?"
Could it be that Mr. Bu Ke's scheme to get me into the Bad Guys wasn't because he valued my medical skills, but because he already knew I was a time traveler?
Li San Niang frowned, feeling uneasy and restless as she thought about this. She wondered how she would face the Bad People, Mr. Bu Ke, Qiu Xiang, and Nineteen in the future.
Just as everyone was pondering Ding Mingxuan's words, Bi Qionglan tapped her teacup to attract everyone's attention before speaking: "Even if what you said is true, for now, as long as you abide by the law, don't cause trouble, and diligently do your job, how could the Martial Emperor not tolerate you?"
Ding Mingxuan did not refute, but smiled slightly and picked up his teacup.
Bi Qionglan continued, "I am just a farmer, and I will only ever be a farmer. I just want to farm well."
"You young people, if you're going to cause trouble, don't count this old woman in your hands. I'm too old for this kind of trouble."
Li San Niang was increasingly admiring Bi Qionglan. "Impressive. She made her stance clear and didn't want to get involved in the Ding brothers' petty schemes."
I didn't want this either; I just wanted to be a good doctor.
If Li San Niang could hear other people's thoughts, she would hear Xing Yu's inner thoughts right now: "Damn, Ding Mingxuan is up to something!"
Regardless of whether what he said is true or false, the implication in his words is that he is dissatisfied and wants to cause trouble.
I really just want to be a businessman. I don't have any grand ambitions or aspirations; I just want to be a rich businessman!
Ding Mingxuan, who had just put down his teacup, burst out laughing: "Haha, Grandma Bi is really..."
Oh dear, I only said that one sentence, I didn't mean anything else.
However, I just wanted to share some news with you all.
"We are all destined to travel to this Tang Dynasty; this is our fate."
Chang Siyuan was losing patience and said directly, "Today is a holiday, but we still came here as instructed."
Just like you said, it's fate that we travel through time together.
So just say what you want to say, everyone's busy.
Are you deliberately setting a trap for us by talking about Emperor Wu right in front of us?
Grandma Bi and I are now considered part of the system, so what exactly do you mean by that?
As soon as Chang Siyuan finished speaking, he looked directly at Ding Mingxuan, wanting Ding Mingxuan to stop with all this nonsense and just state his purpose.
Of course, everyone in the room except Ding Anbo, like Chang Siyuan, all looked at Ding Mingxuan, wanting to know what his ultimate goal was.
"Haha, Brother Chang, why are you in such a hurry?"
If I share my information sources with everyone, how could I possibly want to harm you?
Okay, okay, okay, then I'll just get straight to the point, so as not to waste everyone's time.
Ding Mingxuan's expression turned serious. "To be honest, I do have connections."
Our journey through time is a great opportunity given by God. If we don't make something of ourselves, wouldn't we be letting down God's favor?
Therefore, I would like to ask you all: would you like to join us on this journey to achieve great things together?
