After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

Besides them, there were many other military generals who wanted to compete with the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. You can destroy a country, and I am no less capable. It's just that the times are different.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at Li Zhi with some complicated feelings. Li Zhi still looked like a six or seven-year-old child, innocent and caring for his younger sister.

No one could have imagined that Li Zhi would eventually inherit the throne, and he did quite well afterward. But who was Wu Zetian, that she could be compared to Li Zhi?

The royal family had no real children, and Li Zhi could sense the subtle tension between his father, brothers, and mother. He looked at them with innocent and bewildered eyes and said, "Brother, I want to fight in battles and become a famous general in the future!"

That one sentence immediately dispelled the strange atmosphere here.

Li Chengqian rubbed his little head and said, "Your little body still needs some work, but I think you're capable of being a prime minister."

"I want to be the Prime Minister!" Li Tai patted his chest and said, "Zhi Nu will be the Minister of Revenue!"

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but smile.

……

Zhu Qinggu continued, "There is also the level of economy and culture. At that time, the economy of Chang'an, Yangzhou and other places gradually shifted to the coast. The development of handicrafts and commerce was among the world's best. Tang culture spread both at home and abroad, and surrounding countries came to Tang to learn from it, including Arabs, Europeans and so on.

“Even now when we go abroad, those places where Chinese people gather are basically called Chinatown, and Tang suits have become a cultural symbol of our country.”

Zhu Qinggu posted many pictures, all of which were Chinatowns in different countries.

For some reason, many people from the Tang Dynasty had tears in their eyes upon seeing this scene.

This is their culture, the dynasty they lived in!

Li Shimin's eyes also reddened. He never expected that more than a thousand years later, so many people would still remember the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that the term "Han people" came about after the Han Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty also had its own iconic symbols.

"At that time, the atmosphere was open, people's ideology was not bound by rules and regulations, women had a high status, and people's clothing, food, housing and transportation all showed the grandeur of a great nation. That was also the time when the most poets were produced, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and so on."

“From Li Shimin to the Kaiyuan era of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, it reached its peak. That is, from the Tang Dynasty onwards, China has always been the world’s number one power, and has been in that position for a thousand years.”

"How can we not miss such a prosperous era?" Zhu Qinggu's voice gradually subsided as he said this. "But the principle that prosperity must eventually decline has existed since ancient times."

"The Tang Dynasty tombs are our main focus now. Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty imperial tombs were still looted, but not as badly as the Song Dynasty tombs."

Li Shimin experienced a rollercoaster of emotions today, from initial anxiety to tears of gratitude, and now his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, has finally died.

However, he wasn't completely dead. Perhaps because Song Ling's tomb was so badly damaged, he now feels that the tomb being robbed is nothing.

The Chinese people are generally inclined to be harmonious and moderate. If a room is too dark and you want to open a skylight, everyone will definitely not allow it. However, if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will be willing to compromise and open a skylight.

Zhu Qinggu is in the same boat now. He previously said that the Qing Dynasty imperial tombs were bombarded by cannons, and that even the tombs of the Song Dynasty were demolished, with Emperor Lizong's skull being used as a wine bowl.

What else can't they accept?

Li Shimin even optimistically thought that surely they wouldn't drag his own corpse out to get some oil... lamp lamp lamp...

As he pondered this, Li Shimin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his hand, which was tightly gripping Empress Zhangsun's, became a little unsteady.

"Guanyinbi, we can't be in such a terrible situation, can we?"

"I believe we are blessed by Heaven. No, if such a thing had happened before, it would have been revealed in the sky. Wasn't it the case that Emperor Lizong of Song was revealed by the comments, and then Miss Zhu connected the dots and mentioned the tombs of the Song Dynasty?" Empress Zhangsun comforted her.

The children immediately came over to comfort Li Shimin.

"Most of the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty are concentrated in one area, which we call the Eighteen Tombs of Tang. There were a total of 21 emperors in the Tang Dynasty, but three of them are not here. Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, are buried together in Qianling, so there are eighteen tombs."

Wu Zetian...it's Wu Zetian again!

They already knew that Li Zhi would ascend the throne, but if you count them, wasn't Wu Zetian Li Zhi's empress and also became empress?

Li Shimin was filled with doubt and shock. He had vaguely mentioned it before, and there had even been short videos showing images of a later actor playing Wu Zetian, but he had never explicitly stated that Wu Zetian might be the female emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But now it was clearly right in front of him.

Was Wu Zetian able to become empress because of her enormous and undeniable achievements, or because of a coup?

Even Li Shimin dared not imagine how much turmoil the Li family's empire would experience later on.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Zhangsun gently patted his hand to comfort him, "Now we have a canopy."

Li Shimin finally extricated himself from that pile of unfounded speculations. "Yes, let's look at the sky first. If we can find out what happens next from the sky, then we will. If we don't know, we can just ask Zhinu. If we have the chance later, we can ask Miss Zhu."

"An empress..." Lü Zhi squinted, quite intrigued.

After observing the sky several times, she vaguely realized that women in later generations did not have a comfortable status; in fact, their status was declining.

Many officials are already saying she should do this or that, so won't there be even more people suppressing her after that?

Men, oh men, are all cowardly creatures. When they feel they cannot control a woman, they will try every means to confine her to the home.

Under such circumstances, she was still able to become empress, which suited Wu Zetian's tastes very well.

Zhu Qinggu continued, "The imperial tombs of all dynasties have been robbed to some extent. The Ming Dynasty's imperial tombs are well preserved because of their special circumstances, while the Tang Dynasty's imperial tombs have experienced wars. It's really hard to say what might have happened during those wars."

"The looting of the Tang Dynasty imperial tombs still reflects a chaotic era."

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties period began, and the regimes began to be divided. A man named Wen Tao became the governor of Yaozhou."

The Tang emperor immediately realized that Wen Tao must be an important figure.

Li Longji had someone bring him a map and search for Yaozhou. Where was Yaozhou?

He had no time to care about the "Xuan" in Emperor Xuanzong's name or the Kaiyuan Prosperity. He didn't want to end up like Emperor Lizong of Song, dug up and turned into a wine bowl.
