Da Tang Xiao Si Zi: I have a little pouch-like boy.

After the performance of the "Breaking the Formation" music, Li Qin remained in a state of shock.

Well, it's not particularly beautiful, nor is the music particularly pleasant.

But it was still incredibly moving, especially when the dense drumbeats entered my ears, as if I were in the midst of a massive battle.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when the last drumbeat ended and all the dancers stopped moving.

"How do you see it? How does the Qin King's Battle Music compare to the music of your later generations?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Qin with a proud expression and asked.

Just by looking at Li Qin's expression, he knew that the other party was amazed by the music and dance.

Compared to later generations, my Qin King's Battle Formation Music is still a cut above the rest.

Li Qin said solemnly, "This music is breathtaking and truly deserves to be a classic that will be passed down for thousands of years."

"But compared to music of later generations, the two are simply incomparable."

"Oh? Why is that? Good is good, and bad is bad. How can they not be compared?"

Li Shimin was puzzled. He was clearly so shocked, yet he was still being stubborn.

"Different eras have different backgrounds, and the content expressed by music is also different. Naturally, the music we like is also different."

Li Qin couldn't help but think of the ill-fated tune played by the Zhu family, and used it as an example:

"Just like the song that became widely popular in later generations, called 'Half a Lifetime Gone,' the moment this song is played, people can't help but think of a dynasty with an iron will and the fortunate yet tragic life of its founding emperor."

"Just like the Qin King's Battle Music, when I was listening to and watching it, it was as if I was on the battlefield. The two have the same effect."

"But it's really hard for me to say who is stronger or weaker."

Li Shimin listened carefully to Li Qin's explanation, and his interest was immediately piqued when he heard about the indomitable dynasty and the founding emperor.

"Oh? What dynasty? Why do you say this person was both lucky and tragic? Tell me about it!"

Not again? Li Qin glared.

"Erlang~" Changsun gave Li Er a reproachful look. They had agreed to eat properly at the banquet and not ask any more questions. Why did he come again now?

"Ah? Oh~ Hehe, I'm just curious. To be rated as an emperor, one must be an extraordinary emperor. I want to hear what makes this person so special."

Li Shimin suddenly realized what was happening and awkwardly explained.

Li Qin sighed. "This is what you asked to hear. Since you keep asking questions, I'll just say what you want to hear."

"Speaking of this person, he actually bears some resemblance to His Majesty."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Li Shimin's interest grew even stronger.

Li Qin cleared his throat and began to briefly recount Zhu Yuanzhang's life to Li Shimin.

"This man's surname is Zhu and his given name is Chongba. He was born into an ordinary family. In his youth, he was a monk and a beggar. Then, step by step, he relied on himself and a group of brothers to overthrow the tyrannical court."

"Well, it should be said that they drove out the Tartars, restored China, and finally established the most powerful dynasty in the history of China."

"From beggar to emperor, it was destiny and good fortune. But his misfortune also began from there, and that is precisely the similarity between him and Your Majesty."

As Li Shimin watched Li Qin speak eloquently, a sudden thought struck him.

Then Li Qin continued, "Zhu Chongba lost his father in his youth, his wife in middle age, and his son in his old age. You see, isn't that very similar to you in the original history?"

Li Shimin: "..."

Changsun: "..."

"Ah!! I'm sorry, I misspoke, my apologies. I was referring to the you of the original history, not the you of today."

"You are a great emperor throughout history, the famous governor of Asia, the Heavenly Khan. You won't blame me for speaking carelessly after drinking, will you? After all, I was just telling the truth."

Li Qin feigned a sense of duty and offered a perfunctory apology.

His terrible acting was textbook-perfect; anyone could tell at a glance that he did it on purpose.

Li Shimin's beard twitched. It was only because Li Qin was still of great use that he would have to teach him a lesson on the spot.

He realized that the kid was getting revenge and deliberately trying to annoy him.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, said nothing, and picked up the wine glass to pour it into his mouth.

Li Qin's lips unconsciously curled up. Hey! It's quiet now.

"Come on, Mingda, let's continue eating."

"Hey~ Little Nangjun, that song you mentioned earlier, can I learn it?"

"Sure, Mingda can learn if he wants to. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Really? Hehe~ Little Nang-kun, you're so sweet~ mua~"

"Hehe, Mingda is perfect too~mua~"

It's much more comfortable communicating with the little girl; a few "mua"s can convey a lot of information.

The ensuing dinner was less lively and more subdued.

Li Shimin remained silent, eating and drinking by himself, and it was unclear whether he was angry or something else.

Only Changsun would occasionally chat with Li Qin, not about state affairs or other trivial matters.

It was just a casual chat about everyday things.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Gaoyang requests an audience."

Just as the banquet was about to end, a palace servant hurriedly came in to report.

Upon hearing this, Li Qin turned to look towards the palace gate.

A little girl of about six or seven years old was standing at the palace gate, looking inside.

A pair of large eyes kept glancing at me, filled with curiosity and inquiry.

"Why is Gao Yang here? Let her in."

Li Shimin muttered something to himself, then waved for someone to bring Gao Yang in.

"Gao Yang greets Father, Mother, and Elder Sister." After bowing to the three, he nodded to Si Zi and Cheng Yang: "Cheng Yang, Si Zi."

Chengyang and Sizi called out in unison, "Seventeenth Sister!"

When they looked at Li Qin, they didn't know who he was, so they simply ignored him.

However, judging from Chengyang and Sizi's seating arrangements and their attitudes towards this person, Gaoyang knew that this person was definitely not ordinary.

"Girl, why have you come to Lizheng Hall at this hour? Is something the matter?" Changsun asked with a smile.

"Nothing, I just missed my father and mother, so I came to pay my respects." Gao Yang shook his head.

Actually, she was just curious. She had heard drumming sounds in the palace earlier, and when she asked, she heard from the palace servants that a man had appeared in the palace that afternoon.

And since his relationship with Chengyang and Sizi seemed unusual, he thought he should come and take a look.

"That's thoughtful." Changsun nodded in satisfaction. "Have you eaten?"

When Gao Yang entered the room earlier, she noticed that she hadn't seen any of the food there before, so even though she had already eaten, she still shook her head and said:

"Not yet, I came here to have a meal with my parents."

Changsun smiled and nodded: "Then let's all sit together. You and Lizhi can sit together."

Gao Yang slowly walked to Li Lizhi's side and sat down. The palace servants immediately brought over a low table and cushions. Fortunately, there were still quite a few leftover dishes from the previous meal that had not been distributed.

So it's just right to put together a table.

As soon as she sat down, Gao Yang blinked her big eyes and stared straight at Li Qin, then whispered to Li Lizhi beside her:

"Sister, who is this person? Why is he so familiar with Chengyang and Sizi?"
