Chapter 339 Spacetime Fluctuations

Zhou Yongcheng withdrew his gaze and searched for the source of such violent fluctuations in the river of time and space.

Upon finding the source, Zhou Yongcheng was both amused and exasperated. The source of the turbulent flow of time was actually the temples built for him by the Song and Ming dynasties.

The temples built during the Song and Ming dynasties were originally just ordinary temples, but Zhou Yong modified the statues as a gift to believers.

From then on, the temples of the two dynasties were no longer ordinary temples.

Zhou Yongcheng noted that the temples of the Song and Ming dynasties have permeated the entire timeline of later generations, which is why the river of time and space has fluctuated so dramatically.

Having found the cause of the turbulent flow of time and space, Zhou Yongcheng did not intervene. As long as the world would not be destroyed as a result, it was a trivial matter to him.

Zhou Yongcheng's divine sense entered the Ming Dynasty timeline and scanned Kaifeng, the former capital of the Song Dynasty. In a certain place in Kaifeng, a temple built by the Song Dynasty appeared.

Withdrawing his divine sense, he scanned the modern world again and found a temple in Kaifeng. Then he scanned Jinling City and found another temple there.

This made Zhou Yongcheng very interested. The temple spans the entire river of time and space, but he wondered if the people in the cities where the two temples were located had any memories of the temples.

Zhou Yongcheng did not investigate further, turning his attention away from the temple.

The sudden appearance of the temple in Kaifeng Prefecture during the Ming Dynasty did not surprise the people of Kaifeng. They seemed to know of the temple's existence, as if the temple should have been in that place.

The same is true of the cities where the two modern temples are located. The existence of the temples did not make people feel that anything was wrong. They continued to do things as usual, and the addition of a temple did not have any impact on their lives.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Tang Dynasty era, on this day, Li Shimin finally returned to the capital in triumph. As soon as Li Shimin returned, Li Yuan summoned Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

"I have met my father."

The two brothers were very puzzled. They didn't know why Li Yuan had summoned them so urgently.

Li Shimin, in particular, was summoned to the palace shortly after his triumphant return. This made him very uneasy, as he thought he had made some mistake and that Li Yuan would hold him accountable.

Li Yuan looked Li Shimin up and down, which made Li Shimin even more at a loss.

Li Yuan never expected that his second son would lead the Tang Dynasty to its peak after becoming emperor. He asked himself if he had been in charge of governing the Tang Dynasty, and he knew that it would never have reached the heights of the Zhenguan era under Li Shimin.

It's hard to say whether Li Jiancheng could have brought the Tang Dynasty to the level of Emperor Taizong's reign (the Zhenguan era).

Li Jiancheng was quite good at domestic affairs, and Li Yuan held a positive attitude towards him on this point.

Seeing that Li Yuan remained silent, the two brothers dared not speak either.

Li Yuan dismissed the eunuchs and asked the Li brothers, Li Jiancheng and Li Jiancheng, to sit down before speaking.

"Today there are no rulers and subjects, only fathers and sons. Let the three of us have a good chat."

Last year, I received a divine favor and entered the fairyland through the gate of time and space. There, I met immortals and emperors of later dynasties.

I met an immortal, who bestowed upon me a fortuitous opportunity, allowing me to meet the emperor of a future dynasty. From this emperor, I learned of the future events that would unfold in the Tang Dynasty I founded…

Li Yuan gave a brief account of the history of the Tang Dynasty, mainly focusing on major events.

When Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Jiancheng felt as if a thousand grass mud horses were galloping through his mind. He really didn't expect that he would be killed by his own second brother.

To think that he, the dignified Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, could not even win against his second brother.

Li Shimin was kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat. He never imagined that he would commit the crime of murdering his brother and imprisoning his father a few years later.

Although he ascended the throne and governed the Tang Dynasty well, that was something that would happen later.

Now his father, the emperor, knows what will happen in the future, and Li Shimin doesn't know how Li Yuan will deal with him.

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin kneeling on the ground and said, "Now that I know what will happen to the Tang Dynasty in the future, the Tang Dynasty will not follow the original history. As for the throne, Erlang, you should not covet it from now on."

"Father, rest assured, I will definitely not compete with my elder brother for the throne." What else could Li Shimin say but that he dared not compete with his elder brother?

"Now that I have obtained the opportunity to become an immortal, I will definitely live to be a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years old. Perhaps I can even become a legendary immortal through the opportunity bestowed by the immortals."

"Since your father has lived so long, then you, Dalang, should not covet the throne."

Li Yuan had already made up his mind. Since he had a destiny to become an immortal, he would definitely cultivate diligently and strive to become a legendary immortal so that the Tang Dynasty could continue for thousands of generations.

What the First Emperor of Qin could not do, Li Yuan could do.

"Since Father Emperor was able to enter the Immortal Realm and meet the immortals, it means that the immortals also have high hopes for Father Emperor. Becoming an immortal is not an easy task for Father Emperor. Father Emperor can become an immortal." Li Jiancheng flattered.

Li Yuan's attainment of immortality was also a good thing for Li Jiancheng and the others. Although the throne was very attractive, becoming an immortal was even more attractive. Compared with the throne, becoming an immortal was more important.

Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng and said to Li Shimin, "Second son, get up. Now that your father has obtained the opportunity to become an immortal, he will certainly not shortchange you."

Through a fortuitous encounter bestowed by an immortal, I obtained some books from later generations. After discussing them with the emperors of later generations, I decided to separate the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

This world is vast, beyond our imagination. From now on, the Tang Dynasty will assist your father in managing domestic affairs, and the Second Prince will assist your father in managing the army.

Over the course of more than a year, Li Yuan purchased many books from the Imperial Seal. The information in the books broadened his horizons and gave him a better understanding of the world they lived in.

After discussing with Lao Zhu and the others, they unanimously agreed that military and political affairs must be separated, and power should not be concentrated in the hands of one person.

They drew on some later political systems, subdividing power, separating the military and the government, with generals only in charge of the army and not interfering in political affairs, and domestic officials only in charge of domestic affairs and not interfering in military affairs.

Although Li Yuan had already considered what political system the Tang Dynasty should adopt, he had not yet begun reforms. He was waiting for Li Shimin to return with his troops.

Since Li Shimin was so capable in warfare, he should take command of the army and be specifically responsible for foreign conquests.

Upon hearing this, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had no objection, nor would they dare to. The current Li Yuan was not the same as the former Li Yuan; he now possessed a divine destiny.

Li Yuan took out a world map from beside his desk, opened it, and placed it on the desk, then called Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng over.

"This map was obtained by your father through a fortuitous encounter bestowed upon us by an immortal. Our entire world is contained within this map," Li Yuan said, pointing to the map.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng examined the world map on the desk, but no matter how they looked at it, they just couldn't understand it.

"Father, where is our Great Tang?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Yuan glanced at the map, pointed to a certain spot, and lightly drew a circle with his finger, saying, "This area is where my Great Tang Dynasty is located."

"this..."

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng never imagined that the Tang Dynasty would be so small.
