When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 136 Li Yuan: Let Shimin go to Daqin to be the emperor

The First Emperor stood up in astonishment: "The winning rate of foreign wars is over 80%. Is that true?"

Yang Guang was also very surprised. In history, he certainly could not achieve such a victory rate in foreign wars. The three expeditions to Goguryeo alone were enough to bring him down. "I am a little skeptical whether it is true or not. It is a little unbelievable."

Li Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Hahahaha, you are worthy of being my granddaughter-in-law. You are amazing."

Li Jiancheng's eyes were full of energy: "She is worthy of being my daughter-in-law. It's a pity that she won't be born for a few years, otherwise I would have arranged a baby marriage for her now."

Lao Zhu looked at the expressions of the others and said, "Haha, I was also shocked when I saw it."

Zhu Ming:

Zhu Ming: "Look at this winning rate. With this winning rate, the Chinese national football team doesn't have to analyze how to qualify every time. Maybe they would have won the world championship long ago!"

The First Emperor and his companions stared at the pictures of Wu Zhou's foreign wars, feeling deeply moved.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and sighed after seeing this: "It's a pity that your winning rate is not as high as mine. The last time I went on an expedition, the Tang Dynasty basically unified the world."

Zhu Ming was amused: "If you put it that way, it's really impressive. The Tang Dynasty basically unified the world without spending a single soldier."

Li Yuan quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't embarrass yourself here. Without the help of these uncles, do you think you can be so relaxed?"

"Old Zhu, I have one million dan of grain here and I don't know what to do with it. How about you take the trouble to help me?"

Old Zhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm a real person. When I get back, I'll help you sort out the history books about the one million dan of grain and the royal family relationships of the Tang Dynasty. I promise to sort them out very smoothly for you. What about the son stealing the father's wife and the father stealing the son's wife? That's all nonsense!"

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but ask: "How powerful is Wu Zhou? They can fight wars every year!"

The First Emperor frowned and said, "The end of the aristocratic family should usher in changes."

Old Yang said, "Yes, the collapse of the aristocratic system, the rise of small and medium-sized landlords and poor families, and the redistribution of social resources will make the entire society flourish in a certain period of time. The overall wealth of the country is estimated to be no less than that of the Sui Dynasty in history. Of course, the emperor may not be as rich as me, and it is even more impossible for him to have more grain than me."

Old Zhu: "Wu Zetian also attached great importance to farming. She issued an order to prohibit the sale of "hereditary land", measured the land, strictly investigated the nobles' occupation of good land, and reduced and cancelled some nobles' fiefdoms and fiefs. She was also like you, Old Yang, plundering the population every day.

He promoted water conservancy and proposed the idea of ​​"focusing on agriculture and reducing taxes and corvee". If you want to be promoted, the area under your jurisdiction must have "cultivated fields and sufficient food for the families". If the officials "ruled harshly and caused the population to migrate", then you should be prepared to be punished.

Li Yuan: "If we solve the problem of the aristocratic families, the Tang Dynasty will find a development path in the future that will far surpass the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and I will be remembered forever."

Li Jiancheng said: "Father, you are not in good health, you should take a good rest. Let me do this!"

The First Emperor said, "Old Li, why don't you experience retirement life first, and then you can give us some tips."

Yang Guang said to Li Jiancheng, "My disciple, I think you should learn from your brother. No matter if he agrees or not, Xuanwu Gate is such a good place. You can kill all your brothers and imprison Granny Li. If you are really worried, you can put her in my place."

Old Zhu was just looking for fun and said, "I think the Tang Dynasty just had a bad start. Old Li, if you were to abdicate, I guess the royal family relationship wouldn't be so chaotic later on. How about we give it a try?"

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "I can eat, drink and fight now, so I'll talk about retirement in a few years."

"I want to ask my granddaughter-in-law, has she committed any serious fault?"

Zhu Ming:

"If there is a bigger fault, it's finding a male lover."

The First Emperor was stunned: "Looking for a male favorite is really against etiquette!"

Yang Guang was shocked: "It's a bit open, really a bit open."

Lao Zhu: "When I saw this, I almost choked."

Li Yuan was filled with shame: "This, this is really immoral."

Zhu Ming laughed:
"You guys are a bit hypocritical. Three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, all of them are emperors. How come you guys can have harems but others can't?"

Li Jiancheng nodded: "It is indeed a bit shocking, but think about it, Madam Xin and Father are quite happy together, that's all, at most it's just a question of personal morality."

Li Yuan wanted to hit him after hearing this. Zhu Ming shook his head and said, "That's true. The emperor's personal morality has little to do with how well he is as an emperor. For example, Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and took possession of his brother's wife. He was definitely not a good person. It was really good that it didn't affect his status as emperor."

"It's just that Wu Zetian's situation is a bit special."

"Other emperors' harems are all women, and they are usually confined to the harem, playing palace fighting and providing some material for the TV series I have there."

"Wu Zetian's concubines are different. They are all men, and they are not kept in the harem. With Wu Zetian's power, these male concubines serve in the court and hold high positions. If they are men with ideals and ambitions, it's okay, but in ancient times, those who are willing to be male concubines are basically not good, and they eventually brought a lot of cholera to the court!"

The First Emperor stroked his beard with a worried look on his face: "It shouldn't be like this if Yin Man is the emperor."

Li Yuan took the opportunity to say, "Old Ying, what do you think of my Shimin?"

"Why don't you let him recognize you as his adoptive father, change his surname to yours, and go to Hu Hai to be the emperor. Xiao Zhu also said that it would be good for Shimin to be the emperor."

"Cough cough!"

The First Emperor choked on a mouthful of water.

He looked at Li Yuan with horror on his face: "No, Old Li, I didn't hear what you just said clearly. Let Li Shimin take my surname and go to the Second Emperor to be the emperor. I just want to ask, what do you think?"

Li Yuan laughed and said, "You just don't have a good candidate. Shimin is a handsome man with proven abilities. With him, the Qin Dynasty will not perish in the second generation."

The First Emperor was furious and cursed: "What's the difference between him becoming the emperor and dying as the second emperor?"

"Are you still asleep or did you not take your medicine?"

Li Yuan shook his head: "I have also seen Yin Man, a girl who is well-educated and well-mannered. How about we become relatives? Then all problems will be solved."

“By then, Qin the Fourth will still be the bloodline of your old winner.”

Zhu Ming snorted coldly: "We are probably very interested in Li Shimin. There may be an institution willing to study the differences between ancient people and modern people."

Li Yuan was stunned and took a breath: "I'm not good at talking, just pretend I didn't say that."

The First Emperor snorted coldly: "I suddenly realized that you, Old Li, are quite ambitious."

"Don't even think about it. How about you go to Daqin and become the emperor?"

Zhu Ming shook his head: "Forget it, when I was an emperor, I got up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs. My day was full of things. How could I be as relaxed and comfortable as I am now? I can sleep until I wake up naturally."

Thinking about Zhu Ming's life, he had no shortage of food and drink, could watch TV series and play games every day, and could do whatever he wanted. It was definitely more comfortable than being an emperor.

The First Emperor said with regret: "What a pity, let Yin Man be the emperor. She has learned from you for a while and surfed the Internet every day. She should be more knowledgeable than me, her old father. You have to help her when the time comes. She is closer to you than to me now."

Zhu Ming nodded: "Don't worry, I am also curious about what it would be like for her to be the emperor."

Yang Guang thought for a while and said, "Why not let Ruyi go and help out and gain some experience? If the three grandsons are not good enough, Ruyi can take over."

Old Zhu quickly sent a princess over to join in the fun: "Our daughter Zhu Funing is both talented and beautiful, why don't you go along to broaden your horizons and learn something."

Li Yuan smacked his lips and said, "I still think it's better to let Shimin go."

The First Emperor chuckled and said, "That's great. With me protecting them, I can save their lives even if they rebel."

Don’t stop until you are drunk.

the next day.

Zhu Ming took the First Emperor back, and the million-strong army led by Li Jiancheng is now in a traveling state.

In order to help the First Emperor, all of them were brought with them to the Second Emperor of Qin.

The Second Qin Dynasty.

Emperor Hu Hai and Zhao Gao and Li Si were out.

He didn't come back for several days and nights.

The air in the court seemed to be much sweeter.

Feng Quji stood in the court, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed.

Hu Hai and Zhao Gao had not returned for several days. Feng Quji wished that they would not come back, especially Zhao Gao, who had made the entire court a mess.

As long as Zhao Gao was gone, it would be easier to fool Hu Hai.

Other people in the court were not in a hurry either.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

The ministers did not dare to say anything about the emperor who killed his brothers and sisters, but they were cursing him in their hearts, saying that he was worse than an animal.

Zhao Gao, who instigated Hu Hai every day, was labeled a traitor.

It was time to adjourn the court, but Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and Li Si still hadn't shown up.

The ministers smiled at each other, today was another wonderful day.

"Would you like to have some wine?"

"A new restaurant has opened in the city, let's go!"

"I don't know how long these days will last."

Suddenly, a soldier hurried into the hall.

Feng Quji and other ministers were nervous. Could it be that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao had returned?
The ministers asked with concern: "Tell me quickly, have you found His Majesty?"

After all, we are in the court, no matter what we think in our hearts.

At least it cannot be shown in the court.

The soldier shook his head: "No, it was a million-strong army that appeared at the city gate, led by the late emperor!"

The ministers were shocked at first, thinking that the entire Qin Dynasty might not be able to gather a million-strong army.

When I heard the name of the late emperor later, I was confused for a moment.

"Repeat to me what you just said slowly. Make sure you explain clearly what you mean by a million-strong army and the late emperor?"

The soldier took a few deep breaths.

"My Lords, a million-strong army has appeared outside the city gate, carrying the Tang flag!"

Feng Quji was stunned for a moment: "Tang?"

"Where did this guy come from? How come I don't know? Among the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, there is no Tang State. I also don't remember any general with the last name Tang. Did you see it wrong, or did you recognize the wrong character?"

The soldier said confidently: "I have read books and know how to read. I am sure I will not be wrong."

Feng Quji looked around and everyone else shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

"Let's not talk about the million-strong army for now. You just said that the leader was the late emperor. Do you know what you are talking about? If you dare to talk nonsense, your entire family will be executed!"
