"This was built in the third year of the Yonghui reign, not during the Zhenguan period."
"It was built by Zhinu, right?" Li Shimin knew it when he heard this.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others didn't know what happened next. Xiao Ran didn't say anything and they didn't ask.
The main reason is that it is meaningless. Many things have been changed and will not happen again.
There's no point in worrying about it anymore.
But I was still a little shocked to hear that Li Zhi would be the emperor.
Given the previous situation, it would never have been thought that Li Zhi would be Li Shimin's successor.
Not to mention Li Chengqian, the eldest son, Li Tai and Li Ke are also possibilities, but Li Zhi is indeed expected.
Li Chengqian and others looked in the direction of Li Zhi.
It was discovered that Princess Gaoyang took Li Zhi and two little princesses to buy popsicles again.
Kids just love this kind of thing.
Princess Yuzhang was worried and watched from the side.
"I didn't expect it to be Zhinu." Li Ke muttered to himself.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai had complicated feelings.
The two men had been enemies before, but they never considered Li Zhi as a danger. Unexpectedly, this man with no sense of presence would be the final winner.
On the other side, Li Zhi didn't notice the strange looks from his brothers at all. He opened an old popsicle and handed it to the little princess first.
"That was what happened in the past. It's impossible to happen again now." Li Shimin could see that his sons' reactions were not normal.
"The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located inside the Da Ci'en Temple, which was built in the 22nd year of the Zhenguan reign. It is one of the most famous and grand Buddhist temples in Chang'an. After the temple was completed, my uncle held a grand ceremony for Master Xuanzang to ascend the throne. Master Xuanzang became the first abbot of the Da Ci'en Temple."
Xiao Ran started the introduction and changed the subject, and the others stopped dwelling on Li Zhi's affairs.
"Master Xuanzang?" Li Shimin found that he had never heard of him.
"This is a remarkable monk, one of the most famous monks in China. He is not in Chang'an City now, and probably not in the Tang Dynasty anymore."
Li Shimin frowned, "Not in the Tang Dynasty?"
"He went to the Western Regions to seek the true scriptures and did not return until the 19th year of the Zhenguan reign. He went through countless hardships and dangers alone and returned to Chang'an City after more than ten years. He made great contributions to the spread of Buddhism."
"The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built to preserve the Buddhist scriptures, statues, and relics brought back from India by Master Xuanzang."
"It was not my uncle who advocated the construction of Ci'en Temple. It was the Crown Prince at the time, Zhinu, who wanted to build it. He founded the Great Ci'en Temple in memory of his mother. He named the temple "Ci'en" to express his gratitude and remembrance for his mother, and to symbolize the mother's kindness and grace."
After hearing the reason, the way they looked at Li Zhi changed again.
Some princes may have been dissatisfied with Li Shimin, but they had nothing to say about Empress Changsun.
Li Shimin was also very pleased.
I didn't expect this to be related to Empress Changsun.
Xiao Ran pointed to the front of the fountain and said, "We have to go and wait first, otherwise we won't be able to see it."
"Can't see it? Brother, that's not the case!" Li Ke felt that everyone should be able to see it.
"The best seats require you to wait in advance, as the view from other places is different." Xiao Ran explained.
Empress Zhangsun of Li Shimin did not object, but she just felt uncomfortable with it.
Li Shimin's Empress Zhangsun and the princesses and princes were a privileged class, and they felt a little uncomfortable queuing with other people.
However, everyone was clearly aware that this was not the Tang Dynasty, but more than a thousand years later, so even though they were not used to it, no one said anything.
They all waited quietly for the night to fall.
There are more and more people and it is getting more and more lively.
Princess Gaoyang Li Zhi and the two little princesses were having fun nearby.
Li Zhi didn’t know before that the modern world is so interesting. Now he regrets coming here too late.
There are more delicious foods and fun things here than in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin and several princes were outside, and let the princesses stay in the middle, because he didn't want the princesses to be squeezed by others.
As time approached, the place was surrounded by several layers of people and no one could get in or out.
Xiao Ran let the little princess ride on his neck, and Princess Chengyang also rode on Li Tai.
Princess Gaoyang looked over and said, "Grandpa, I can't see it!"
Li Shimin picked up Princess Gaoyang.
The little princess turned around and found that many children of her age were like this.
If you don't hold it up, the child won't be able to see it.
The fountain show had not started yet, and people nearby were taking pictures of the two cute little princesses with their mobile phones.
"Wow~"
The little princess was surprised and delighted to see the fountains and lights start up.
"This looks great!" Princess Chengyang also clapped her hands excitedly.
"Sister, this is so beautiful." Princess Yuzhang was also excited.
Not to mention Li Lizhi, Li Chengqian and other people from the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Ran also thought they were good-looking and really shocking.
This is the largest fountain show in Asia and it is truly spectacular.
It was just a trial at first, and before it officially started, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang had already started taking pictures.
When the water columns of the fountain rose and fell with the rhythm of the music and flashed with colorful lights, Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and others were also very excited.
The impact of this visual feast is even greater than that of previous fireworks.
"Wow~ It looks beautiful~" the little princess became even more excited.
"Wow~"
"So greasy~"
The little princess has been in a state of excitement.
Li Shimin and others stood in the crowd, their eyes attracted by the colorful fountain show.
I couldn't help but squint my eyes slightly, carefully observing the changes in the fountain, secretly marveling at this wonderful sight.
He turned to Empress Changsun and said, "This scene is truly marvelous! The combination of water, light, and music is truly rare. It truly symbolizes a prosperous era!"
Empress Changsun smiled and nodded, her eyes full of admiration: "It is indeed beautiful beyond measure. It makes one feel the beauty and prosperity of this world."
Princess Yuzhang excitedly tugged at Li Chengqian's sleeve, shouting, "Brother, look! The water seems to have come alive, dancing to the music!"
Li Ke was also shocked by the scene before him. He said thoughtfully, "Such a magical scene must be backed by exquisite craftsmanship. If we can apply its principles to the construction of our Tang Dynasty, it will surely add a lot of charm."
As the music rises and falls, the water columns of the fountain sometimes soar into the clouds, sometimes scatter like petals, changing into all kinds of wonderful shapes.
The colorful lights reflected on the water column are like a dream, making everyone feel as if they are in a fantasy world.
They were immersed in this wonderful atmosphere, their hearts filled with emotion for the prosperous scene before them and expectations for the future of the Tang Dynasty.
The ten minutes ended quickly, but Li Shimin and others were still not satisfied.
"Hmm~ I still want to see~"
"Is Xiao Ran gone? Can we do it again?" Li Shimin also didn't see enough.
"Uncle, stop making trouble. It's only once a day. There's more to this place than just a fountain. Let's keep going. There are still many interesting things over there."
Xiao Ran took the little princess down from his neck and said, "Mingda, there's nothing left. Let's go and see what else is there. There are delicious foods over there."
"Really~"
