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

"That's right, this Wen Tao is one of the culprits behind the theft of the Tang Dynasty imperial tombs."

“Wen Tao was uneducated and incompetent from a young age. In his youth, he became an outlaw and robbed and plundered. Later, he established a separatist regime in Huayuan County. Seeing the power of Li Maozhen, the military governor of Fengxiang, he joined Li Maozhen. Li Maozhen changed Huayuan County to Yaozhou and appointed him as the prefect of Yaozhou.”

"Wen Tao is extremely good at studying, but his temperament is changeable. He will join whichever side is stronger."

Zhang Fei cursed, "Isn't this just a traitor who serves three masters? If he weren't like this, how could he have gone on to rob tombs?"

Lu Bu, who was already dead at this moment: "..."

The young and still-alive Lü Bu was incredibly brave and powerful, but for some reason, he always seemed a bit cold.

"Later, Wen Tao joined Zhu Wen and guarded Guanzhong. According to the New History of the Five Dynasties, no tomb within his jurisdiction escaped his grasp and was excavated by him."

The Tang Dynasty emperors under the celestial canopy were quite busy, constantly consulting historical records and local gazetteers, and looking at maps.

The map was also marked on the sky, showing which imperial tomb was located in which place and whose tomb it was.

The emperor was devastated to find that his mausoleum was located within Wen Tao's jurisdiction.

Some emperors had already ordered the arrest of Wen Tao, but sometimes Wen Tao had not yet been born. In such cases, the imperial mausoleum was reinforced, and instructions were left for future generations to kill Wen Tao if they ever encountered him.

"Wen Tao took out all the gold and silver treasures from the mausoleum. Legend has it that when he went down to Zhaoling through the tomb passage, he saw that the area below was also magnificent and splendid."

"In the center of the tomb is the emperor's coffin, with stone beds arranged on both sides. On the stone beds are stone boxes, and inside the stone boxes are iron boxes containing the original works of Wang Xizhi and other calligraphers. Wen Tao took these things out and destroyed and sold them at will. The original work of the 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' was very likely destroyed during this looting."

"Wen Tao even dragged out Emperor Taizong's remains to sell them separately. It wasn't until the Song Dynasty that a prime minister named Zhao Pu, deeply moved, bought back Emperor Taizong's remains at a high price and reburied them in Zhaoling."

"..." Li Shimin didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Li Chengqian said viciously, "If we could find out where Wen Tao is, we would definitely tear him apart by five horses and grind his bones to dust!"

Li Tai and Li Zhi both thought so.

Even some of the old ministers who were at home watching the sky felt sad for Li Shimin, that such a great emperor had ended up with no trace of his body.

However, Zhu Qinggu immediately took a sharp turn, saying, "This is a folk legend. Both the New History of the Five Dynasties and the Biography of Wen Tao in the Old History of the Five Dynasties mention that Wen Tao plundered Zhaoling, but Zhaoling was not within Wen Tao's jurisdiction. In modern times, we have used various detection technologies and have not found any traces of damage to the entrance of the underground palace."

"Many of the above-ground buildings and burial tombs of Zhaoling have been looted or damaged. During the Republic of China period, two of the six horses of Zhaoling, Saluzi and Quanmaogua, were stolen and sold to the United States."

"So whether Zhaoling was looted is still a mystery, and I believe that more advanced technology will be available to detect it in the future."

[It's hard to say whether it was stolen or not; if it were me, I wouldn't let it go.]

[It is said that Wen Tao destroyed all the calligraphy and paintings he saw because he wasn't very studious, but he certainly knew those things were valuable, so it's unlikely he would have destroyed them. Therefore, the allegation of robbing the Zhaoling Mausoleum is questionable.]

[But later it's mentioned that Wen Tao had a booklet listing all the valuable items he obtained from tomb raiding, right?]

[The Zhaoling Mausoleum has a huge influence. So what if it was looted? It won't affect us now. The government wouldn't cover it up, would it? They said it wasn't looted, so why worry about it so much?]

[Furthermore, no items related to Li Shimin's tomb have been found circulating in the antique market. If there were any, it's impossible that there wouldn't be any clues, given that it's been over a thousand years.]

[Yes, I'm inclined to believe it wasn't stolen, otherwise it would truly be... my "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion"!]

Wang Xizhi shook his head. How come it was his own work again?

Wang Xizhi was not unhappy that his works were so highly sought after by emperors of later generations, but his life had been too full of twists and turns.

Princess Chang Le, who was already married, looked at the sky and, even though she knew the matter was an unsolved mystery, she still had to return to the palace to see her father.

"Miss Zhu, could you finish telling the whole story in one go next time?" Li Shimin was terrified by Zhu Qinggu's abrupt change of direction. He thought that if his own remains were dismantled and sold, it would be fine if they were stolen from the ground, but it would be a pity for his Sa Lu Zi and Quan Mao Gua.

The previous comments probably referred to this as well.

It really scared him to death.

However, if given the chance, Li Shimin still wanted to take back his own Sa Lu Zi and Quan Mao Gua.

"With an army of over two million, no, over three million, does the Tang Dynasty have a chance?" Li Shimin's question wasn't just about Saluzi and Quanmaogua; it was more of a comparison.

However, after making this comparison, he shook his head slightly, "No, the social circumstances of the two are different, so they cannot be compared."

He always believed that the appearance of the sky curtain had a reason. The things mentioned on it were all related to China, including Miss Zhu, who was also Chinese. Wasn't that enough to explain something?

Li Shimin keenly sensed something. The appearance of this canopy was not only to allow them to avoid the later crisis, but also to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and to open their eyes to the world. Did they want them to dominate the world?

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Other emperors of the Tang Dynasty were sweating bullets. It was fortunate that their ancestors' imperial tombs hadn't been dug up, but their own were about to be!

Their mausoleums appear to be located within that damned Wen Tao's territory!

Li Zhi's illness has improved a lot recently, but he is still afflicted with ailments and remains the same as before. He has already seen Wu Meiniang's ascension to the throne from the heavens, but after so long, he will still treat Wu Meiniang the same way he always has.

Now, his relationship with Wu Zetian is no longer a simple love affair, but more like a political alliance. Although he could take back this power at any time if he wanted it, he simply doesn't want to.

Now, seeing the sky above, he realizes that if Li Shimin's tomb were really robbed, he would be furious and want to kill people. Later, the situation takes a turn for the better, and he realizes that he needs to strengthen the Zhaoling Mausoleum and improve its anti-theft measures. However, he is very confident in his own Qianling Mausoleum.

As mentioned before, Qianling Mausoleum was not looted.

"Meiniang, it turns out we'll still be buried together after we die." Li Zhi smiled, leaving Wu Meiniang unsure of his thoughts at that moment.

Wu Meiniang brought over the medicine, which was at the perfect temperature. "Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine!"
