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

After a moment's thought, Changsun nodded and said, "That's fine too."

Li Qin was straightforward, simply recounting how Li Tai and Li Chengqian fought for the throne, but Li Tai ultimately lost to the seemingly harmless Li Zhi.

Of course, this involves a bit of subjective opinion, saying that according to unofficial historical records, Li Zhi was able to obtain the throne because Changsun Wuji devised a plan behind the scenes.

Incidentally, after Li Zhi ascended the throne, Changsun Wuji became the regent minister.

That's all. If we continue, we'll have to wait until Wu Zetian makes her appearance.

Then the two emperors ruled as regents, and then Wu Zetian became empress and changed the dynasty name to Wu Zhou.

If I say this now, I probably won't be able to eat at the dinner tonight.

Although Li Shimin has not appeared yet.

But Li Qin absolutely did not believe that this emperor of all ages would be unaware of his appearance.

But once they know he has come to the Lizheng Hall, they will give up coming to listen to things about the future of the Tang Dynasty.

impossible!

It is said that people in ancient times liked to build secret rooms and such, and who knows, Li Shimin might be hiding in some corner eavesdropping right now.

If this guy knew that his Tang Dynasty was destroyed by a woman, who then became emperor, and that his son had cheated on him, he would be in trouble.

Tsk tsk, the emperor is furious!

"What happened next?" Changsun was clearly dissatisfied that Li Qin stopped talking about Li Zhi's ascension to the throne.

In her opinion, her brother becoming a regent minister was not a good thing.

With a young emperor and a suspicious court, if Changsun Wuji were to seize power, it would mean the rise of powerful maternal relatives, and the future outcome would be predictable.

Li Qin blinked, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, and said:

"Uh... I'm not a history major, so I don't know much about what happened later. I just saw what I was talking about on the computer a few days ago and memorized it."

Changsun: "..."

She could tell that Li Qin was lying.

Just a few sentences, and it takes several days to memorize them?

Even if things are complicated, you can get a general idea of ​​the overall direction after looking at them.

For example, what was Changsun Wuji's final fate, and how did Li Zhi govern the country?

These things can always be roughly evaluated and concluded.

But Li Qin came up with such a lame excuse, which shows that his brother's final fate must have been bad.

"Then do you know how the Zhenguan era is viewed by later generations?"

Since Li Qin wouldn't speak, Changsun couldn't force him, so he could only ask other questions.

"I do know that. The Zhenguan era can be called a golden age, and Li Shimin, uh, that is, His Majesty, is among the best of all emperors throughout history."

"Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Song. Emperor Taizong of Tang is Your Majesty."

"The Zhenguan era not only achieved great prosperity in politics, economy, and culture, but also enjoyed a very high reputation internationally."

"Furthermore, His Majesty's governing philosophy and policies laid a solid foundation for the later Kaiyuan era of prosperity. Although some question whether the population was larger at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the achievements of the Zhenguan era in consolidating national unity, promoting economic development, and raising cultural standards make it worthy of the title of a golden age."

"Politically, Your Majesty adopted Wei Zheng's suggestions and implemented a series of reforms, such as appointing virtuous and capable officials, broadening channels for public opinion, and rectifying official corruption, which resulted in a clean government and social stability."

"Economically, by reducing taxes and encouraging agricultural production and commercial exchange, it promoted economic prosperity and development."

"Culturally, His Majesty himself has a profound interest in and contributions to culture, such as supporting the development of literature and art, which enabled Tang Dynasty culture to reach a new height."

"Therefore, under His Majesty's rule, the Zhenguan era has developed the entire Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner, and the Empress need not worry about this."

Li Qin smiled as he introduced the various outstanding achievements of the Zhenguan era.

To be honest, Li Shimin was quite capable in governing the country, much better than his father.

"Hahaha~ Did you hear that? Guanyinbi, I knew it! My Zhenguan era was a golden age. The people of later generations have such a high opinion of me!"

A burst of laughter suddenly came from behind the screen.

Then, Li Qin saw a man with a mustache, a short beard, and wearing a golden dragon robe, walking out with a big belly and a pigeon-toed gait.

The man who dared to hide in the Empress's palace and even called Empress Zhangsun "Guanyinbi" is none other than Li Shimin.

Li Qin stared blankly at the Heavenly Khan who had killed his brother and imprisoned his father, forgetting to get up and pay his respects.

Li Shimin, too, was intently scrutinizing him.

Tsk tsk, aside from the wrong hairstyle and his somewhat handsome looks, he's no different from a middle-aged man who's gained weight.

Where's the aura of a king? I can't feel it at all.

"Boy, why don't you bow to me?" Li Shimin sized up Li Qin for a while, then suddenly asked with narrowed eyes.

Forget about bowing, this kid didn't even get up when he saw me, which was rather rude.

Li Qin then realized what was happening, quickly stood up, and made a somewhat awkward hand salute with his hands in his pockets.

"I have met His Majesty."

"Alright, I suppose you've long since abandoned these formalities where you are, so I won't make things difficult for you."

Li Shimin waved his hand, and Li Qin's awkward bowing made him feel awkward as well.

"Continue, how does history record my reputation?"

Li Shimin took two steps forward and sat down next to Changsun, asking with great interest.

Li Qin thought for a moment, would forcibly taking his sister-in-law count? Would dying from drug use count? Desecrating Wei Zheng's corpse would also be acceptable...

"Uh... as I said before, I'm not a history major, so that's all I can remember."

The meaning is obvious: that's all, that's all.

"Hmm?" Li Shimin, like Changsun, could tell that this kid definitely had something to say, but he was unwilling to say it.

As for the reason, it must be something that is not suitable to talk about now.

It is best to avoid speaking too deeply with someone you don't know well.

"Since that's the case, then so be it. When you learn something else, just remember to tell me about it."

Li Er didn't force Li Qin and waved his hand magnanimously.

Then, his expression shifted, and he chuckled, saying, "Just now you mentioned Wei Zheng, saying that I adopted his suggestions to implement reforms, which led to the Reign of Zhenguan?"

"Yes, that's how it's recorded in history." Li Qin didn't understand why Li Shimin suddenly brought up Wei Zheng, so he could only answer honestly.

Then Li Shimin continued, "Perfect timing, I have something to ask you about Wei Zheng."

Li Qin: "???"

What is this? Can you help me? Are you sure you're not mistaken?

Before Li Qin could refuse or come up with an excuse, Li Shimin recounted the whole story of what had happened in the Taiji Hall that day.

Then he turned to Li Qin and asked, "Tell me, what should I do with Wei Zheng? Kill him, or exile him?"

When Li Qin heard that Wei Zheng dared to set his sights on the rhinoceros, his anger was already burning.

What kind of quality is this? How dare you spread rumors about the rhinoceros? Damn it, so what if it's a mirror of the ages?

How dare you, Wei Zheng, criticize such an adorable little ox?

All that could be heard was Li Qin saying fiercely:

"Kill him? Exile him? Wouldn't that be too easy on that old bastard?"
