Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again
Chapter 65 The current map of China is a bit small
Su Jiahe quickly opened the medicine box, took out the quick-acting heart pills that Zhu Yuanzhang had not finished taking, and stuffed them into Li Shimin's mouth.
"What happened to Emperor Taizong?"
"Why did he faint?"
Daji and He Shuangqing put down the ingredients in their hands and ran over hurriedly.
"You two take care of him while I call the emergency number."
Su Jiahe found that since he linked himself to the tourism system, he had become a frequent caller of 110 and 120.
Before the call was made, Li Shimin suddenly coughed and slowly opened his eyes.
"Brother Li, are you okay?"
Li Shimin lay on the sofa with an expressionless face and burst into tears.
"My brilliant and talented prince, how could he become so rebellious!"
"My youngest son, how dare he covet my stepmother and give the kingdom to a woman!"
"My Guanyin maid, why did you leave so early and leave me alone?"
"Woooooooo..."
Li Shimin cried so hard that his tears soaked the sofa cushions. Daji and He Shuangqing stood by, at a loss as to what to do.
"Okay, you two go back to your room first and let him calm down on his own." Su Jiahe sent the two to his bedroom.
"I thought emperors were extremely majestic. How could they cry in public?" He Shuangqing whispered to himself.
"Emperor Taizong of Tang was a tearful person. Even Wei Zheng had made him cry several times, not to mention the many blows he had just taken."
After about three minutes, Li Shimin's crying gradually stopped.
"Brother Li, are you feeling better?" Su Jiahe handed him a cup of hot water.
Li Shimin stood up and drank some water to moisten his hoarse throat, then leaned back on the sofa with a serious expression.
"I started my rebellion at eighteen, ascended the throne at twenty-nine, and was honored as the 'Heavenly Khan' just as I was thirty. I was full of vigor and ambition, but I didn't expect my old age to be miserable, with my children and grandchildren being unfilial. It seems I must be prepared for danger in times of peace."
"However, I am a little curious about how that woman rose from being a lowly concubine to becoming the emperor."
"This female emperor's life was truly legendary," Su Jiahe continued. "Her name was Wu Meiniang. She entered the palace at the age of thirteen and remained a concubine for twelve years."
"Later, Li Zhi took a fancy to her and, upon ascending the throne, made her Zhaoyi. Mei Niang was greatly favored and soon became empress. Later, Mei Niang worked with Li Zhi to handle government affairs, a situation known in history as 'Two Saints at the Court'."
"The Emperor and Empress are 'two saints ruling the country', isn't this the harem interfering in government affairs?" Li Shimin said angrily.
"In fact, it can only be blamed on Li Zhi's frequent headaches, which made him unable to attend court. He even considered letting Mei Niang serve as regent. After Li Zhi's son Li Dan ascended the throne, Mei Niang gradually seized power and ascended the throne five years later."
"So, this Wu Meiniang usurped her son's throne? My Tang Dynasty actually perished at the hands of a woman. This is unheard of in history!" Li Shimin was so excited that his hands were shaking.
"Brother Li, don't get too excited. Just listen to me." Su Jiahe poured Li Shimin another glass of water to calm him down. "Fifteen years later, Li Xian launched the Shenlong coup, and Mei Niang finally returned the throne to the Li family."
"Alas, after this disaster, my Tang Dynasty should be safe in the future." Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course, there were some twists and turns later. Five years later, Li Xian passed away, and his wife, Empress Wei, established another emperor, changed the reign to Tanglong, and took control of the government."
"What? My grandson also had his throne taken away by his wife?" Li Shimin's pupils constricted and his blood pressure suddenly rose again.
"Fortunately, that same year, Li Dan and his son Li Longji eliminated Empress Wei's faction and proclaimed themselves emperor again. Two years later, Li Dan abdicated the throne to Crown Prince Li Longji. Mei Niang's daughter, Princess Taiping, also attempted to seize power, but was eliminated by Li Longji. From then on, imperial power completely returned to the hands of the Li Tang Dynasty."
After listening to Su Jiahe's story, Li Shimin stroked his chest and sighed.
"But to be honest, Wu Meiniang's political achievements are still impressive, and were called the 'legacy of Zhenguan' by later generations. She only seized the throne, but did not let down the Tang Dynasty." Su Jiahe had always admired Wu Zetian and could only try her best to say a few good words for her.
"My great-grandson, Li Longji, should be a heroic ruler, right?"
"Indeed, he ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five, implemented benevolent policies, worked diligently, and created the prosperous 'Kaiyuan Era'. However, in his later years..."
"What happened in his later years? Did he lose the country again?" Li Shimin suddenly became nervous.
"During Li Longji's later years, the Tang Dynasty did suffer from war and was severely damaged. However, the last time I met Li Longji, I told him all these things. He had already made preparations and changed the fate of the Tang Dynasty."
After Su Jiahe finished speaking, she handed the letter Li Bai sent her to Li Shimin.
Although the two people came from different dimensions, this letter at least gave Li Shimin some comfort.
"Okay, okay, Miss Su, thank you so much. You are truly a benefactor to the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin took another sip of hot water, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Can you give me some of the things you gave him?"
"Yes, if we can rewrite history starting from Brother Li's generation, the Tang Dynasty may become even more prosperous. Let's go traveling first. I will give you the things in seven days."
"Okay, I also want to see the future with my own eyes." Li Shimin was revived and laughed heartily.
"Brother Li, where do you want to go?"
"This... I'm not familiar with the future. Is there a map?"
"Yes." Su Jiahe brought out a world map.
"Wow, the land of the Four Seas is so vast." Li Shimin exclaimed at the map. "It seems that China is a little small now. Why is the Western Region gone?"
"Brother Li, the land has been unstable throughout history. China has gone through so many ups and downs, and it's not easy to get to where we are today. Would you like to travel within China or go abroad?"
"Li Shimin took the world map and looked at it again and again, until his eyes seemed to be insufficient."
"Let's take a look at the ancient capital Chang'an first, and then make plans."
"Okay, let's have a meal first and then leave in a while."
Hearing Su Jiahe say that she wanted to eat, He Shuangqing and Daji both walked into the kitchen and brought out a table of food.
He Shuangqing's cooking skills were pretty good, and he made a few exquisite side dishes, but Daji also made a pot of meat sauce, added vinegar, and poured it over the rice.
"Brother Li, time is running out. Let's set off now and have something to eat at the airport." Su Jiahe took a look at Daji's masterpiece and hurriedly pulled Li Shimin to pack his luggage.
"Sister Su, if you want to go out, can you take me with you?" Daji asked happily.
"Sure, hurry up and get ready, and try to catch the next flight. Qingqing, are you going?"
"I'm not feeling well yet, so I won't go." He Shuangqing shook his head.
"Okay, you should have a good rest at home and be safe." Su Jiahe knew that in He Shuangqing's opinion, the emperor was still out of his reach, and she would not feel comfortable even if she went with him.
Soon, the three of them were out with their luggage. Su Jiahe took a taxi and arrived at the airport in 20 minutes, then hurried through security and boarded the plane.
"What are these big iron birds?" Li Shimin looked at the planes flying by in surprise.
"This is an airplane. It can carry dozens or hundreds of people flying in the sky and travel thousands of miles a day..." Daji began to talk eloquently again.
Su Jiahe looked at Daji and gave her a thumbs up.
"Daji, you will be my commentator from now on."
