The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"How did you decide that it would be me?"

"What? They want to find dancers, what does that have to do with me? I'll crawl out of the ground and dance for them, won't I?"

Seeing this scene, coupled with those ridiculous comments, left Li Er speechless.

Singing and dancing have nothing to do with him!

We can't keep focusing on the fact that he made Jieli Khan dance!

"Just keep watching and you'll see, Li Er. You seem unaware of your own importance in the hearts of the Tang soldiers."

In the scene, in their haste, the soldiers actually managed to find several women who had studied dance since childhood.

The problem now is that the drummers in the army are all rough men who don't know anything about music.

Aside from the drumbeats of the charge, the only song they knew was a tune.

The drummers of the Tang Dynasty army—a tune everyone had to learn!

"No matter what you're good at, just start playing. Don't spoil the envoy's fun!"

Peng Jingrou urged.

But as the drumbeats began, all the generals present suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with deep remorse!

They were all familiar with this piece of music!

I've heard this a lot since I joined the army!

Whether it's the person mentioned in the song, or the song itself!

The King of Qin's Battle Song!

"So this is it."

Li Er suddenly understood.

He recalled the legend he had created in the army, and the days he spent there.

I remember those days of galloping across the battlefield!

He understood why these people said that more than two hundred years later, he could extend the life of the Tang Dynasty by another thirty years!

As soon as this music started playing, even though none of the people present had ever seen it in person, they could still feel the spiritedness of Emperor Taizong when he once galloped across the battlefield and captured two kings in one battle!

The more they listened, the more silent the room became.

In just a short while, even the drummer couldn't help but sob quietly.

This piece of music was clearly a source of glory for Emperor Taizong of Tang, yet now it's being used to curry favor with the rebel envoys!

A feeling of shame spread uncontrollably through everyone's hearts!

The envoy sent by Huang Chao panicked.

He wasn't from a military background, so he naturally didn't understand why the atmosphere changed after the music started playing.

He didn't understand either.

Why did several soldiers suddenly rush out of the door and kick him to the ground?

When the gleaming sword was pressed against his neck, he could only tremble all over.

"Inspector Peng!"

"This is the Qin King's Battle Song, how can you use it to curry favor with the rebels!"

"Have you all forgotten the glory of my Great Tang Dynasty?!"

"You've used the glory of my Emperor Taizong for such a thing?!"

"Supervisor Peng, you have failed His Majesty's trust and His Majesty Emperor Taizong!"

Faced with the questions from these young people, Peng Jingrou, who had wanted to stop them, lowered her head deeply.

He couldn't refute it.

Indeed, under no circumstances should he have used this piece to curry favor with the rebels!

"Kill him!"

"As soldiers of the Great Tang Dynasty, we should naturally be loyal to our country!"

"Raise an army to defend the emperor and quell the rebellion!"

"Let the blood of the enemy wash away the shame of my Great Tang!"

Amidst the angry shouts, the young soldier at the head of the group raised his sword to strike.

Suddenly, Zheng Tian's urgent voice rang out from outside the door.

"stop!"

"In war, envoys are not to be killed; this too is an honor for our Celestial Empire!"

"Let him go back and tell Huang Chao that the Fengxiang garrison will never surrender, and will fight to the last man to die on the road to quell the rebellion!"

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was Emperor Taizong Li Shimin's last blessing upon the Tang Dynasty from beyond the grave.

The Qin King's Battle Song awakened the pride in the hearts of the generals of Fengxiang at this moment.

When the garrison of Fengxiang took the lead in sounding the horn to defend the emperor and quell the rebellion, troops from all over the country responded quickly.

Even so, Huang Chao occupied Chang'an and had ample troops and provisions, so he still had the strength to fight.

Huang Chao's chances of winning were even greater than those of the Tang Dynasty's loyalist army.

However, the people in the city held high hopes for the Tang Dynasty.

As the loyalist army attacked Chang'an, the city's inhabitants seemed to have forgotten the impeccable discipline and resources previously provided by Huang Chao's army. Instead, they aided the imperial army!

Li Er: "?"

Why is this happening?

Why would the people choose to help a crumbling court that was causing widespread suffering, instead of expecting Huang Chao to be completely harmless to them and to distribute wealth lavishly?

"This is probably the root cause of Huang Chao's indiscriminate massacre when he set foot in Chang'an for the second time."

"He treated the common people with sincerity, but slaughtered the gentry, all for the sake of giving true fairness to poor students like himself."

"But the people did not repay his good intentions; instead, they betrayed him."

Old Zhu also found it difficult to comment.

Let's say Huang Chao was wrong.

At least when he first entered Chang'an, even after establishing the Great Qi, he did not forget his original aspirations.

They slaughtered prominent families but did not harm ordinary people in the slightest. Instead, they distributed the looted wealth fairly among all the people.

But perhaps the Tang Dynasty held such a high position in the hearts of the people that it could not be shaken in a short period of time, or perhaps there were other reasons.

At this point, regardless of Huang Chao's purpose...

A gentleman does not care about his deeds.

At least it shows that he is willing to do good for the people!

However, when the imperial army arrived to defend the emperor, the people not only lined the streets to welcome them, but also pointed out Huang Chao's retreat route.

This made Huang Chao feel betrayed!

After realizing that the Tang army was too eager for quick success, Huang Chao quickly devised a strategy of retreating to advance.

They left Chang'an directly and camped out on the dam.

The army that came to the aid of the emperor recaptured Chang'an, which should have been a good thing.

The people who lined the streets to welcome the imperial army would never have imagined this.

Huang Chao's army did not harm them in the slightest.

Instead, once the imperial army relaxed its tense atmosphere, it began to plunder wealth on a large scale.

Unleashing troops to plunder!

The common people didn't expect it, and neither did Huang Chao.

After recapturing Chang'an, the first thing the imperial army did was to plunder and oppress the people!

The people lined the streets to welcome this demon, but it turned out to be such a monster!

"This is truly absurd."

"These people don't understand why, under the rule of the imperial court, they are living in misery and many can't even make ends meet."

"On the contrary, Huang Chao not only did not harm them in the slightest, but also distributed money and grain to them. In the end, in their hearts, he was still not as important as the imperial court?"

"If I were Huang Chao, I would not give them any chance of survival once I re-enter the city!"

Ying Zheng did not consider himself a tyrant, at least not a complete tyrant.

But if he were to encounter the same situation as Huang Chao, facing an ungrateful wretch, he would have no other choice!

"Perhaps the only explanation is that the Tang Dynasty held a very important place in the hearts of the people."

Even though the people were suffering, they all dreamed that one day the Tang Dynasty would be revived and could restore its former glory.
