"The Northern Star shines brightly, the Southern Generals are like thunder in the clouds!" Li Bai shouted, quite captivated by the sight.

Gao Shi and Du Fu, who were standing nearby, were also rhythmically tapping on something nearby, making a rhythmic sound in response.

My friends and colleagues nearby cheered loudly, and soon they all joined in.

In other times and spaces, people also shout loudly or dance for pleasure.

……

Afterwards, Zhu Qinggu led people from all dynasties to look at this city. Zhuque Avenue alone was spacious enough, and the houses on both sides were also strictly regulated, defining the wards and markets.

They were stationed in the inner palace grounds where the Imperial Guards were located.

Li Shimin hosted a banquet for them to taste the delicacies of the time, including Hunyang Mohu, a famous court dish, which is a goose stuffed with spices, diced meat, and glutinous rice and then roasted.

There is also the Bright Shrimp, which was originally a classic dish at the Burning Tail Banquet and was later served in the palace. The shrimp is coated with honey and dogwood sauce, giving it a bright red color.

Camel hoof soup is made by stewing camel hooves, chicken, pork bones, and spices such as pepper and cardamom for more than ten hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

Buildings and lofts are everywhere.

It tasted just as good as food from later generations, and because it was all-natural, it also had a very fresh and fragrant flavor.

At first, everyone was a little reserved, but after drinking some wine and watching Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong perform the donkey's running and walking movements, jumping and braying, which was very interesting, everyone relaxed.

Laughing and joking around the campfire.

As soon as night fell, Xia Huacan and his team turned on the storage batteries, and the lights they provided immediately illuminated the surrounding area.

Li Shimin and his entourage were also amazed by the brightness, as if it were daytime. "Is this a lamp? How does it work?"

Once he became interested, the people around him also left their seats and crowded around him.

"Looking at it from the sky is really different from looking at it from here!" Li Tai stretched out his hand, and the light cast a shadow, making his hand turn red.

It took Zhu Qinggu quite a while to match their names with their real appearances.

For example, Li Tai, who was later called Little Fatty, is now starting to take shape.

Ye Yangbing, who was in charge of logistics, grinned. Coming from the future, they didn't have much of a class distinction when facing emperors and princes. "This battery can store electricity. When you need to use it, just plug these things in, and it will release the power."

He pointed to the wiring, then took a speaker, plugged it in, and after some adjustments, the sounds of a water ladle and a gourd flute flowed out rhythmically.

It immediately invigorated everyone present.

The slightly gentle intro was well received by them, and the plain-voiced lyrics were even more clearly understood by the Imperial Guards here.

They didn't know who Lady Shexiang was, but they understood the underlying meaning: it was praise.

The desolate female voice gradually rose in pitch, suddenly becoming high-pitched and ethereal.

"...The Wumeng Mountains connect to the mountains beyond mountains, and the moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach."

Phoenix Legends didn't even realize that their songs have been sung from the old days to the young days, and now they even sing about the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago.

At this very moment, people from other dynasties were also looking at the sky and hearing this song. Many of them didn't understand it, but they just thought it sounded good. Some people thought the melody was strange, while others accepted it well, and some thought the lyrics were too plain.

Here, they sang and drank along to the melody, and when they got to the section about Wumeng Mountain, they suddenly found themselves singing it.

Even the more unrestrained imperial guards immediately burst into song, "The Wumeng Mountains connect to mountains beyond mountains~ Moonlight spills over Xiangshui Beach~"

Li Shimin and the others burst into laughter. After the music ended, the mischievous Ye Yangbing immediately stopped the music.

"Is this Lady Shexiang a person from the later dynasty?" Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, yes, it's already said on the sky!" Li Zhi pointed to the sky, "It's the Ming Dynasty people."

"That's right. Lady Shexiang was a female politician of the Yi ethnic group in Guizhou during the Ming Dynasty. In the fourteenth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the army to conquer the south. Lady Shexiang made many efforts to ensure that the Ming army could enter Yunnan smoothly, thus ending the separatist rule in Yunnan."

"In the sixteenth year of Hongwu, Ma Yu, a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Guizhou, harbored resentment towards Lady Shexiang. He forced her to pay taxes and even whipped and humiliated her. Lady Shexiang endured the humiliation and went to the court to denounce his crimes to Zhu Yuanzhang, thus clearing her name of the humiliation."

"Later, Lady Shexiang personally led the various tribes to open up a major transportation route that crisscrossed Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Hunan, which won over the hearts of the people in the southwest."

"During her tenure, Lady Shexiang recruited scholars and intellectuals, established the Pacification Commission to cultivate young people from all ethnic groups, and brought in skilled craftsmen to impart advanced technologies, thus promoting the integration of the Yi and Han peoples!"

"What a remarkable woman who understands right from wrong!" Li Shimin praised. "If there were so many reasonable people in the world, how could the world not prosper?"

Ming Dynasty

Many people were unaware of this extraordinary woman, and now that they have heard of her, they are filled with admiration.

In the southwest, the name Shexiang has always been widely known.

They all affectionately call her 'Jumu,' which is the name for a chieftain in Yi history.

Meanwhile, Lady Shexiang, who was mentioned, was also looking at the sky. The grandeur of the Tang Dynasty in the sky was enough to make the young men of the clan yearn for it. They also wanted to go to the Central Plains to see it one day.

Shexiang hopes they will travel more, see this vast land, and experience the local customs and culture of different places.

“The Pacification Commissioner of Shuixi is a reasonable person.” Zhu Yuanzhang did not refute her. “If it weren’t for her, we would still have to slowly clean up those messes over there. How could we have the time to clean up other places?”

Of course she was reasonable. Zhu Yuanzhang helped her seek justice, and she promised to repay him by building a passage through the mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang also bestowed many honors upon him. Old Zhu was so stingy, why wouldn't he do things that brought real benefits? Now he's just pushing some empty titles out there.

It could also bring the southwest under its control.

"If I could travel to later dynasties, I would definitely want to see everything," Li Tai said with great interest. "To see the civil administration of the Song Dynasty, and to see how the Jiajing Emperor pursued immortality..."

Li Chengqian coughed heavily all of a sudden.

Li Shimin smiled at Li Tai, but that smile was definitely not the indulgent one he had shown before.

Thinking of the increased assessments Li Shimin had imposed on them recently, especially for the few of them, the expectations and the assessments were even heavier, so Li Tai also felt a little uneasy.

He quickly hid behind Zhu Qinggu.

At this time, Li Tai was just a teenager, and in Zhu Qinggu's eyes, he was just like the younger brother next door.

Seeing this, Zhu Qinggu also smiled.
