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

"Grandpa, do you want some steamed buns from Madam Qi? They're sweet, soft, and fragrant—so delicious!"

Sizi looked at Li Yuan and asked.

Li Yuan chuckled and teased the rhinoceros with his hand, saying:

"Hehe, I'm thinking of bringing some 'Sizi' for Grandpa to try too?"

"Hehe~ I won't take him~ I'll take Grandpa to Little Nang's house~ okay?"

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, glanced at Li Shimin, and then asked Sizi:

"Who is this young man? Where does he live?"

Si Zi pointed to Li Qin standing not far away and said, "That's Xiao Nang Jun! He's at the beach! There's swimming, electric lights, lots of fun things, and even a princess room! It's so much fun!"

"We're here to pick up Grandpa so we can go together~ Hehe~ Grandpa can come to the nursing home more often now~ After we get there, Grandpa will dance the Cantonese dance with me~ It'll be so much fun~"

Li Qin: "..."

Holy crap, Li Yuan doing square dancing? That's awesome! We'll definitely film it to commemorate it.

The moment this thought crossed Li Qin's mind, he felt as if he were being watched.

Looking up, he saw Li Yuan staring intently at him.

With a slight smile, he clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "Greetings, Second Master..."

Li Er: "..."

Changsun: "..."

Li Yuan: "..."

"Boy! Who are you? Why are you calling me Second Master?"

Li Yuan didn't quite understand the meaning of this word, nor did he know Li Qin's origins.

Li Qin said with a smile, "My name is Li Qin, and I come from... cough cough, I'll tell you later. I call Your Majesty Second Uncle. In our area, the rank above uncle is Grandfather, which means grandfather, so I call you Second Grandfather."

Li Yuan frowned, looked at Li Shimin, and asked again:

"Whose descendant is he? Are you starting to randomly claim nephews and nieces outside? I don't remember having such a descendant in my clan."

It's obvious that Li Yuan doesn't acknowledge any of those "second uncles" or "second great-uncles."

Li Shimin breathed a slight sigh of relief when he finally got to speak.

He waved his hand at the surroundings and said, "Everyone, get out!"

The palace servants who were serving nearby immediately filed out and disappeared in a flash.

After everyone had left, he spoke to Li Yuan:

"This matter is rather long to explain, Father. Please sit down first, and I will explain it to you slowly."

After Li Yuan sat down with the rhinoceros in his arms, Li Er began to recount the story of Li Qin.

From the initial mysterious disappearance of the rhinoceros to its ability to freely travel through more than a thousand years of the future.

Li Yuan's expression was priceless upon hearing this. If it weren't for the fact that he was certain his son was mentally sound and that his daughter-in-law was there to testify, he would have been quite surprised.

He even wondered if Li Shimin had gone mad, actually coming up with such a lie to deceive him.

"That's how it is. The reason I came here is to ask you, Father, to have your health checked in the afterlife. Of course, if you like, you can stay there for a long time."

Li Qin: "???"

What?! That's not what you were saying earlier, old man!

Li Qin stared wide-eyed at Li Er, who then stared back at him.

After listening to Li Shimin's account, there were also Si Zi humming and Changsun adding his own comments.

Li Yuan believed about 70-80% of the story.

After a long silence, he finally asked, "Is that iron box outside something from later generations?"

"Yes, this thing is called a car. It doesn't need oxen or horses to move, and it's used for transportation," Li Shimin explained.

Li Yuan thought for a moment, then looked at Li Qin and asked, "How much longer do I have left to live?"

Without hesitation, Li Qin replied, "Two years."

Li Yuan nodded slowly, then pointed at Li Shimin and asked, "How is he regarded as an emperor by later generations?"

"One of the greatest emperors of all time, the Zhenguan era was a golden age. Among all the emperors throughout history, he can be ranked in the top five."

Li Qin paused, then added, "It's just that we're lacking in educating the next generation."

Li Er: "??!!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

When Li Yuan heard the words "a great emperor of all time," "the emperor of the Zhenguan era," and "one of the top five emperors in history," he felt a sense of pride.

After all, this is his son, no matter what, even if the methods used this morning were not so honorable.

But to achieve this result is already incredibly difficult.

Then Li Qin said there were problems with educating the next generation, which made him unhappy.

Ignoring Li Er's fiery glare, Li Qin continued speaking to himself:

"Excessive pampering of Li Tai led him to develop unwarranted ambitions, which also caused Li Chengqian to feel a sense of crisis."

"As a result, when the crown prince rebelled and failed, he was deposed, and Li Tai was demoted for several years and lost his chance to ascend the throne."

"This also led to a break in the Tang Dynasty's reign, with a woman usurping the throne and changing the dynasty name to Wu Zhou."

"boom!"

"!!!"

Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Changsun suddenly stood up, their eyes wide open as they looked at Li Qin.

"Ahem, don't get excited. Later, your Li family descendants took it back, and the Tang Dynasty restored its name. It wasn't that many years in between."

Li Qin quickly finished adding the details.

The sight of the three adults in such a manner immediately frightened the little princesses.

Little Sizi, not understanding what had happened, stared blankly at his parents.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Second Uncle, and the children are here, don't frighten them."

Li Qin gave the three of them a reproachful look, then quickly stepped forward and hugged Xiao Sizi, then pulled Li Shu and the others together, and they all hugged each other.

"Boy! Explain yourself! What do you mean by saying that a woman usurped the throne of my Great Tang Dynasty?"

Li Er narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

At that moment, Li Qin truly understood what it meant to be filled with murderous intent.

Looking at Li Shimin in this state, he felt a little scared.

It wasn't that I was deliberately trying to provoke Li Er and Li Yuan, but rather that I wanted to reconcile the father and son, and I needed a catalyst.

Wu Zetian is a good example; bring her out to provoke the two of them, and then they'll unite against a common enemy.

After all, the Tang Dynasty belongs to the Li family; the meat can only rot in the pot, not be snatched away by others.

"That's right! Explain yourself clearly: who was it? How did they do it?"

Li Yuan also glared at Li Qin with murderous intent. As for the fact that there was a child present, he could coax him later.

What could be more important than the fact that the Tang Dynasty was seized by someone else?

"It's Wu Zetian! Isn't it? Is it her?!"

Changsun suddenly exclaimed, remembering what Li Qin had told her about Li Zhi last time.

Wu Zetian plays a very complex role in the story; if there is any woman who could usurp the throne, it must be her.

"Yes, Auntie is right, it is indeed her."

Li Qin nodded slightly, confirming Changsun's guess.

"Who is Wu Zhao? The Wu family? Wu Shiyue? Is she a member of their family?"

Li Er turned to look at Changsun and asked, "The only family with the surname Wu that I can think of is this one."

Li Yuan also looked at Changsun: "Wu Shihuo? Does their family have the ability to rebel and seize the throne from my Li family? Or is it all thanks to a woman?"
