Chapter 67: Leave a clue to the vest and create a tomb puzzle to trouble future generations!
Li Shimin was almost angry to death.
Comparing him with Li Longji, he is actually the "second Li Longji"?
This insult to him was equivalent to dragging his corpse out of the underground palace!
"Who on earth is spreading rumors about me?!"
Li Shimin was so angry that he drank half a cup of Mixue Bingcheng milk tea and chewed the pearls hard.
"The reason for such remarks is that you, boss, lived too short a life and died too early."
Shen Yue smiled and took away all the desserts on his table, even snatching the milk tea from his hand.
"You're already thirty-six or thirty-seven, and you still love desserts. If you keep doing this, you'll really become the third Li Longji next time!"
Li Shimin was so angry that his eyebrows were throbbing. He swore that this time he would outlive Li Longji! Let everyone see who was truly incompetent in his later years.
[This is all due to the unscrupulous marketing accounts. Didn’t Erfeng just take a pill?
Actually, Er Feng wasn't like the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor who took the initiative to take pills. He was seriously ill and had no other choice but to take a pill to try it out.
[Unexpectedly, I encountered an Indian monk who used health products to defraud the elderly. After taking the products, my condition immediately worsened and I almost died.
As a result, he was slandered as dying suddenly from taking the elixir. 】
Speaking of this, Li Shimin felt depressed!
If he had known this earlier, he would not have taken the Indian elixir, which has ruined his reputation!
“I’m curious when it comes to pills.
Before him, the Qin Emperor, Han Wudi, and even you, Emperor Taizong of Tang, were all scammed by elixirs. As a result, several other emperors of the Tang Dynasty continued to take elixirs, eventually killing themselves at a young age.
Chen Yue couldn't understand it. After all, the ancients should at least ask what ingredients are in the medicine before taking it.
If you don’t give instructions, at least you should give some information about clinical research trials and the shelf life. How dare you just eat it recklessly without anything else?
This food safety is completely unsafe. Do you know if they picked their nose and smeared some furnace ash into it? You can't tell because it's so black.
[It’s so funny, every emperor throughout history thinks that people who make elixirs have a conscience!
Lose every time, gamble every time, never give up!
After hearing the ingredients of these pills, Li Shimin felt so sick that he almost vomited out the leftover food from his previous life.
In order to let his children and grandchildren learn from the lesson, he took great pains and issued an order that any alchemist who presented elixirs to others must indicate all the ingredients and must not contain cinnabar.
Li Shimin swore that he would never take elixirs again in his life.
[That’s right, but the issue of taking pills in old age is just that the elderly are being cheated when buying health supplements, it’s not a big problem!
The biggest problem was that in his later years, Li Shimin began building palaces and grottoes, and also built over 300 temples for his wife. He also had to fight against Goguryeo, which led to a lot of forced labor...
What's wrong with collecting corvée labor? Our Erfeng Palace hasn't been renovated in decades. He even lives in the gloomy Taiji Palace.
He's old and in poor health from fighting in the wars earlier in life. Can't he move to another palace to live in?
[That’s right, when his beloved wife died, he built some caves and temples to pray for her. This is such a touching love!
Isn't it just conscripting some laborers? Just conscript them. A million is not enough. Give me ten million to build the grottoes!
This way, Er Feng's love story is even more exciting. It's killing me! 】
[That's right, as a fan of Erfeng, I must say, Erfeng, just recruit as many people as you want, don't save!
Isn't it just civil unrest? There were hundreds of civil unrests during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang! Compared to other emperors, our Erfeng still had the fewest civil unrests!
[Besides, we Erfeng have worked hard for more than 20 years, shouldn’t we be able to enjoy ourselves a little? This is what we Erfeng deserve!
In my opinion, we should continue to build the canal and the Great Wall, and then defeat Goguryeo!
Look at Emperor Yang of Sui. He built a canal and conquered Goguryeo three times, and he became an internet sage. We, the Erfeng, would have to build at least ten palaces and thirty canals to surpass Emperor Yang of Sui!
Li Shimin: ???
Li Shimin almost thought that these modern people were being sarcastic to him, but the modern fans, especially those who insisted on checking in on the sleeping post, denied it very firmly.
[Of course what we say is true!]
Isn't it just building more than 300 temples for the queen? Woohoo, such a Mary Sue, so touching!
[Which of the Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor did not build palaces, fight wars and build infrastructure?
How can one leave a legacy in history without doing these things? How can one prove that this emperor was powerful?]
"You are wrong. As descendants, you only want to enjoy the conveniences left by your ancestors at the cost of their lives, but you don't think about the chaos and suffering that the people of today have to go through."
Li Shimin had come from the chaotic Sui Dynasty, so he had a lot of experience, so he said seriously:
"I also wanted to build a canal, but was stopped by the civil and military officials in the court.
Later I also admitted that it was indeed a mistake to build those palaces.
Perhaps it was because Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others had passed away at that time that no one could persuade me, and I later regretted it."
As he got older and his health was not good, he became lazy. He had worked diligently all his life, so who wouldn't want to enjoy himself?
But later, because he imposed corvee labor several times, it led to civil unrest in Lingnan, and some people even cut off their limbs to avoid corvee labor. Only then did he come to his senses.
"You have truly reminded me that the waxing moon will wane, and an arrogant army will be defeated.
When people get older, they sometimes become stubborn and stubborn, so they really need to learn from it."
But he will never be stupid. As long as he still has his brain, he will never become Li Longji!
[It's okay, it's okay. No one is a saint. Compared to other emperors, Erfeng, you've made very few mistakes!]
[Yes, yes, we, the later generations, are just coveting the expansion of territory and infrastructure construction that your predecessors did. The predecessors suffered so that the later generations can enjoy the benefits.
According to this evaluation standard, of course many people would say that Er Feng's achievements are not as good as those of the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor, or even Emperor Yang of Sui.
But who wouldn't want to expand their territory? Which emperor wouldn't want to leave his name behind through the ages and build a vast landscape?
Especially since our Er Feng is a god of war. If he wants to fight, can't he surpass Emperor Wu of Han?
[But he restrained himself!]
The greatest advantage of Er Feng is that, as a god of war and an emperor, he restrains his desires to the greatest extent!
Whether it was pleasure or the achievement of expanding territory, he restrained himself.
It is precisely because of this that the most desirable Zhenguan Reign in history was created, becoming a model for all future emperors!
[However, after the death of my wife, Wei Zheng, and others, my condition declined quite quickly...]
At this point, Li Shimin touched his nose and admitted his mistake with a guilty conscience, saying that he had indeed reflected on this matter and should learn from it:
“No new palaces will be built; just repair the old ones that are broken.
In the days ahead, I will still rely on your supervision. I will definitely surpass the Zhenguan Reign and let the Tang Dynasty prosper for hundreds more years!"
The workers at the scene were very excited after hearing this and immediately patted their chests and said:
"We are modern workers, don't worry, boss! We will definitely leave you with a deep impression!
Absolutely! "
Thinking that the matter was over for the time being, Li Shimin continued to go to work and go home as usual.
It's just that he's getting older and has some minor health problems, especially joint pain from his early battles. He also always wanted to build a hot spring palace or a summer resort.
So when Li Shimin was thinking about building another Huaqing Palace, he was changing clothes in the hot springs in Huaqing Palace. When he lifted up his clothes, he saw a row of crooked big characters written underneath:
"In his later years he was a fool, like Li Longji!"
Li Shimin:!!!
Another example is when Li Shimin wanted to be lazy and went out hunting for three days without returning to the palace. Suddenly, a huge banner fell from a tree in front of him. On it was written in black and white in the ugly Yan Zhenqing-style regular script:
"Lee Longhir-like!"
Li Shimin was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. When he returned to the palace, he became more and more angry, almost like a puffer fish!
Slogans like "Like Li Longji" would appear on screens and pillars at random moments, and even when Li Shimin was getting toilet paper...
Li Shimin:………!
Is it really good for you modern workers to treat your bosses like this?
[Hahahahahahahahaha, but I have to say, the effect is really good!
The effect of this sentence is almost comparable to Wei Zheng's "Ten Thoughts to Admonish Emperor Taizong" which he painstakingly wrote!
[That’s right, is there a parallel universe that I can travel through? Send this sentence to Wei Zheng!
Every time he said this, Li Shimin would be stabbed in the heart and instantly sober up. The effect was amazing!
Li Shimin was in a very bad mood and had to seek comfort from his wife, Empress Zhangsun.
When Empress Changsun heard her husband's pitiful complaints, she laughed so hard that her voice trembled, and she had to comfort her husband, which was very difficult to endure.
"Hey, Guanyinbi, what's your reaction?
I really feel wronged! You don’t even scold those modern people for me! "
"Right, right, it's all their fault. They are so despicable! Next time I'll lock them up and put them in solitary confinement!"
That’s right! These modern people are so bad, they just want to see him have fun!
Li Shimin condemned modern people for a long time, and then said:
"Forget about them, let's talk about something happy! What posthumous title should we use after we die?
I've thought of several, why don't you choose one for me?"
It’s so fun to give posthumous titles to yourself and your wife!
For example, when "Empress Wen" and "Emperor Wen" were put together, it sounded comfortable and pleasant, and it also made them seem well-matched and powerful!
He founded the business and conquered the world in his early years, but he wanted people to praise his literary virtues, so he instructed Xiaojiu to use "Wen" as his posthumous title.
"Now we should think about it in advance. Then, when the crown prince ascends the throne, we can let him use this posthumous title for me, and then we can become a couple!"
Li Shimin and his wife picked and chose, and finally chose "Emperor Shengwu" and "Empress Shengde" from a bunch of words like "Wen, Zhao, De".
Erfeng is really good at choosing. He used "wen" in his previous life and got tired of it, so he chose "wu" in this life, right?
"Emperor Wu of Tang" sounds pretty good, but now it's "Emperor Shengwu of Tang"?
Good boy, this is going to surpass Emperor Wu of Han, Er Feng has a strong desire to win! 】
[The posthumous title "Wu" mainly recognizes his martial virtue of expanding territory, but it also has the meaning of warmongering, belonging to two extremes.
But if you add the word "Sheng" to become "Shengwu", the meaning is very different. It is indeed a very, very good posthumous title!
But not just any emperor can use it. 】
"Shengde" and "Shengwu" are such a perfect match! You're going to give a posthumous title to feed all future generations who read history a lot of dog food, right?
666 You beat Er Feng, you're amazing because you have a wife!
Not only modern people, but also the little prince who was being lectured by his father was speechless, as he was fed up with the dog food from his parents.
"This will show that your father and mother have always loved each other throughout their lives, and people will still talk about it with relish thousands of years later.
That's the CP that overseas people particularly like to ship, and from now on they'll ship your father and your mother, understand?"
Li Shimin pinched his children's faces, said this and left with satisfaction.
Only a pair of pretty little kids were left. They looked at each other maturely, sighed, and looked upset...
After so many years, my father still hasn’t grown up!
No wonder he is always called Tang Tong by his enemies.
At this time, the little princess and the prince had grown up to school age.
Like Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang before, when they grew up, Li Shimin personally brought them to his side to teach them.
As for the crown prince, Li Shimin mainly taught him the same way as he did Li Zhi, letting him watch him handle government affairs and explaining some issues to him.
However, his own little princess also insisted on learning from him, so Li Shimin, in accordance with his previous promise to modern people, took his two children to discuss and handle state affairs together.
At the same time, Li Shimin also asked these modern people to teach his two children.
However, thinking of the madness of modern people, Li Shimin was afraid that his prince would become the first crazy emperor, so he also secretly listened to the lectures of modern people.
In the earliest times, modern people taught by using illustrations and text to enlighten people.
When it comes to starting to study and learn poetry, these modern people even use various musical accompaniments, as well as various fun ways such as rewarding children with red flowers and playing games.
Reading this way is indeed much more interesting, and children always ask some imaginative questions.
For example, why is the sky blue, why are flowers red? Unlike teachers who always say that it is so, these modern people will tell students the reasons and encourage them to draw inferences and ask more questions.
"So this is how you modern people teach!"
This kind of education method, as well as the educational model of encouragement and rewards, is indeed much better than the teachers in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin is quite envious of it.
The children grew up gradually, their height growing taller day by day like sprouts. Gradually, they became more sensible, smart, lively and lovable.
When Li Shimin looked at his two little children, he couldn't help but sigh and feel curious. He wondered what they would look like in the future.
But no matter what, they will definitely be the most outstanding prince and princess in the Tang Dynasty.
This time he will definitely not repeat the same mistakes as before and will definitely make his Tang Dynasty continue to prosper.
The days and years passed by like a flash.
Li Shimin and his ministers were just like they were during the Zhenguan period, everyone was working hard for a better Tang Dynasty.
However, one day, everyone suddenly heard the news that Li Bai's condition worsened after getting drunk and he died.
Li Shimin and all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked and sad. Li Shimin personally conferred the title of "Poet Immortal" on Li Bai.
When the "Poet Immortal" Li Bai was buried that day, countless poets and students on the streets of Chang'an were bidding farewell, wishing the Tang Dynasty's Poet Immortal to return to heaven and become the Taibai Immortal again.
A few years later, Du Fu, who was nearly 70 years old, also passed away.
However, like Li Bai, the poems Du Fu wrote before his death were no longer "I have just put down my cup of muddy wine, feeling down and out", but expressed his yearning and longing for the future of the Tang Dynasty.
Before his death, Du Fu looked at Emperor Taizong who was concerned about him beside his bed, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Maybe it was the same when Brother Taibai left?
With such a Majesty and such a prosperous Tang Dynasty, they have no regrets in this life!
After Li Shimin reached his forties, he sent off a number of elderly officials one after another, and he felt that time was passing by very quickly.
And at this time, Li Mi finally submitted his resignation again.
"I never thought I could serve as Prime Minister until now. Now that I am old, it is time for me to return to the Taoist temple to practice in seclusion and seek the way to immortality.
However, being able to serve as your Majesty's minister is the greatest blessing of my life."
Li Shimin tried to persuade Li Mi to stay many times, but seeing that Li Mi had made up his mind, he finally let him go with regret.
Before leaving, Li Shimin wanted to give him many treasures, but Li Bi shook his head and declined.
Li Bi's only request was to be able to rest his head on Your Majesty's lap.
[That's right, why should I rest my head on Li Heng's knees? Of course, I should rest my head on our Er Feng's knees to make it more meaningful!]
[Add me one of these Fengxixi!]
I can’t sleep with Erfeng, so can’t I use my knees as a pillow? I want a pillow too, I want a pillow too!
"We are all employees of Datang. Boss, you can't show favoritism!"
"That's right, I'm coming too, I'm coming too!"
"What's going on? Do you understand the rules?
It’s first come first served, why are you cutting in line? Go line up at the back!
Five minutes per person, no overtime allowed! "
Li Zhen and Li Shimin were resting their heads on their knees. When the emperor and his ministers were moved, suddenly a group of modern workers came running over after hearing the news from somewhere.
Before Li Shimin could agree, a long line of more than a dozen people lined up in front of him, wanting to take turns resting their heads on his knees...
Li Shimin and Li Mi: ………
These modern people are still so lively after decades!
The passage of time on the other side of the sky curtain is the same as that in the Tang Dynasty. There is no such thing as one day being equivalent to ten years.
Over the years, the people who spoke in the sky have changed one after another, but there are also old strangers who have always been there.
Some said they were retired, some said they had graduated, and some said they were married and had children.
But the only thing that remains unchanged is that they still speak so lively and innocently, as if the vicissitudes of life and the sword of time have never been engraved on their hearts, which is really enviable.
A few years later, when Li Shimin defeated the Uighurs, the fifteen-year-old Han Yu had become the top scholar of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone in Chang'an called him a child prodigy, and all the civil and military officials would bring their children to touch Han Yu's head one by one, hoping to get some of the intelligence of the top scholar.
Li Shimin looked at his number one scholar's head being rubbed into a mess, and not only did he not stop it, but he also went up to touch it mischievously, and also called his prime minister to do the same.
After Li Mi left, Wen Yuping replaced him and became the new prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
This was the first female prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and also the first modern worker who held great power and was second only to the emperor.
Wen Yuping is already in her fifties, but she still looks healthy.
Seeing the high-spirited look of the teenage boy at this time, he couldn't help but look at Li Shimin, and they both felt in their hearts that there are talented people in every generation.
"My Tang Dynasty has successors and is full of talented people. It is truly a blessing!"
However, even so, Li Shimin still missed the days when he was young, drinking and discussing poetry with Li Bai, Du Fu and others, and hunting and shooting arrows with Gao Shi, Cheng Qianli, Li Guangbi and others.
On this day, the Arabs presented a bird unique to a distant continent. When Li Shimin was interacting with the bird, he suddenly burst into tears while playing with it.
Because he thought of Li Bai, who also liked to play with birds.
"When I took Li Bai hunting, I still remember how he blew his whistle in the mountains and flocks of birds and magpies flew towards him and landed on his hands.
Now, Taibai has been gone for such a long time!"
Li Shimin cried for a long time as he spoke, and then took the bird to Li Bai's grave.
Modern workers were also folding paper nearby, and they folded several paper birds and burned them for Li Bai.
Li Shimin wiped his tears after crying, and saw Wen Yuping and Shen Yue standing quietly beside him, and suddenly sighed:
"Since you have been in my Tang Dynasty for so long, if you pass away, don't be like you modern people and be burned to ashes.
It would be better if we could preserve the corpses intact and forever, just like our Tang Dynasty does.
Later I will build a mausoleum for you and bury you in my new mausoleum. It will be so lively for everyone to be together."
Modern people like Wen Yuping and Chen Yue do not attach as much importance to matters after death as the ancients did, but since Li Shimin said so, they think it is nice to have a sense of ceremony.
"But I don't want to have something like a night-shining pearl in my mouth after I die. It sounds like I can't close my mouth even after I die. It's so tiring."
“That’s right, this thing is useless.
Oh, I might as well leave my modern identity information in the tomb!
Let's see whether future generations of tomb robbers or archaeologists can discover the true identity of us overseas people! "
"If that's the case, should I also leave a clue so that future generations can guess my identity?"
Li Shimin, who was in his forties, was still a bit of a fool. He laughed at this and quickly nodded and decided:
"Okay, that's settled!
We can't let Li Neng take all the credit. When future generations discuss who was more powerful, Li Shimin or Li Neng, we'll leave them dumbfounded!"
[Hahaha, that would be a slap in the face to death!]
The two groups of fans were arguing fiercely and were even hating each other, but the result? They turned out to be the same person!
[This is simply a real-life historical leak!]
Hurry up, Erfeng, get started. I suggest that you don't leave clues in just one place. You should string the clues together and scatter them into pieces in different places.
It's like escaping a secret room, so fun! 】
It feels like a treasure map. Why not just spread the word that a fortune is hidden somewhere? Then wait for future generations and tomb robbers to painstakingly piece together the treasure map fragments and search a dozen places?
When I opened it, I saw that it was the pseudonym of Erfeng and Modern Man! 】
That’s it!
Another wave of modern people who can torment future generations. Li Shimin, Wen Yuping, Shen Yue and others exchanged glances, and those who were no longer young all revealed cunning looks and burst into laughter.
Life is always so interesting with this group of modern people around.
Li Shimin thought, how great it would be if he could leave this magical artifact, the system, to the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
However, people really shouldn't be too greedy. Before he had time to study and inquire about the system, one day, the system suddenly began to flash and then made a sound:
[Attention, the Boss Direct Hiring system has successfully completed its recruitment task. Workers are about to reach retirement age!
One year from now, the Boss Direct Hiring system will be shut down. Employers and employees, please prepare in advance.
Li Shimin was shocked at first, but then he tried to persuade him to stay but failed, so he could only study the meaning of this system.
The time and space gate will be closed after one year. Those modern people who are still in the Tang Dynasty must choose whether to stay in the Tang Dynasty or return to the modern era.
Li Shimin could only ask reluctantly:
"So, are you going to stay in the Tang Dynasty? Or are you going to return to your modern times?"
