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

Zhu Qinggu chuckled, and before she could even say anything, Liao Ming had already burst out laughing.

"The most common anecdotes about Mr. Cheng are probably about oxen. They appear frequently in various novels. For example, your family's oxen keep killing one of the cows every now and then, or the bull dies and the cow is so heartbroken that she kills herself and her calf..."

“There’s a story that goes like this: Emperor Taizong of Tang asked you why you were eating beef again. You said that the cow had accidentally fallen and died. A few days later, Emperor Taizong asked if you hadn’t finished the beef. You said that it was the wife of the cow that fell and died, and she committed suicide for love.”

Cheng Yaojin: "..." Actually, I had already seen it on the sky, but I didn't expect it to be mentioned again now.

Li Shimin, Yuchi Gong, and Zhu Qinggu all laughed when they saw him looking like he had swallowed a fly.

Laughter was still going on inside, and Liu Yuxi walked in step by step without trying to hide his steps.

"I was unaware of your arrival, and I have failed to greet you properly!"

"No need for formalities. Treat me as an ordinary guest tonight, and we can discuss tomorrow's matters tomorrow," Li Shimin said magnanimously.

Liu Yuxi went inside and found that the courtyard was lit by incandescent lights from later times, and then the group of people were having hot pot.

Those who have seen the celestial canopy are familiar with these things, but this is the first time they have seen them in reality.

The lamp illuminated the dark courtyard as if it were daytime, making it possible to clearly see everyone's clothing and expressions.

Liu Yuxi immediately focused his gaze on the wise and enlightened emperor, his eyes shining brighter than a light bulb.

"Come sit down and have something to eat. These dishes from later generations are very delicious!" Li Shimin greeted Liu Yuxi like a hospitable host.

That approachable demeanor makes people feel comfortable anywhere.

Even if another emperor had done it, it might not have had the same effect.

It was indeed very delicious. The bubbling hot pot was a yin-yang pot, with one side being clear broth and the other side being beef tallow hot pot. The beef tallow hot pot must have been filled with a lot of spicy spices, and the aroma alone was enough to make your scalp tingle.

On the table were sliced ​​beef, pork, fish, and various fresh vegetables.

In many places, it's still the dead of winter, so where can we find any fruits and vegetables to enjoy?

Only high-ranking officials and nobles might have some connections to get a taste of it.

Li Shimin's words aroused Liu Yuxi's appetite.

At the same time, he looked at the dark-skinned, burly man next to Li Shimin, and another man who was also quite strong and robust, and knew that they were Duke Lu, Cheng Yaojin, and Duke E, Yuchi Gong.

The three women sitting opposite Li Shimin were dressed in different clothes and had different appearances, while the two other imposing men were dressed in the style of later generations.

I knew then that this must be Emperor Taizong and Miss Zhu's entourage.

"Hey, stop babbling and dawdling, come here quickly!" Cheng Yaojin hurriedly called him over.

He then cupped his hands in greeting and sat down in the only remaining empty seat.

"Eat! You're so lucky to be served by me, Cheng Yaojin!" Cheng Yaojin used serving chopsticks to put a few pieces of meat into Liu Yuxi's bowl. "It's because I like you."

Liu Yuxi naturally expressed his gratitude in every possible way.

Then, upon tasting it, he was greeted with a fresh, fragrant, spicy, and numbing flavor that made him gasp. It was much spicier than the dogwood sauce, but it was very refreshing and instantly revitalized him.

Since arriving here, Zhu Qinggu has shut down the Sky Curtain. The points he has received these past few days have been absolutely explosive. And since he's going to do something big tomorrow, he might as well rest tonight.

Even during the meal, the conversation inevitably drifted to the present.

Li Shimin had previously read the Book of Tang and, having come here, had also carefully reviewed it.

After the An Lushan Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was plagued by political corruption, eunuch rule that Li Shimin found infuriating, the usurpation of power by powerful ministers, and the dangers posed by regional military governors.

After Emperor Xuanzong came Emperor Daizong, and after Emperor Daizong came Emperor Dezong.

Emperor Dezong was impatient and stubborn, but his successor, Emperor Shunzong, was quite good. He heavily relied on the two princes, who were also trustworthy, and befriended insightful people, including Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan, thus initiating the Yongzhen Reform.

He wanted to seize back the military power from the eunuchs and eliminate the corrupt practices, but unfortunately, he was too presumptuous and met with strong opposition from the regional military governors and the eunuchs. In the end, the two princes' factions were all demoted, and Emperor Shunzong was poisoned to death by the eunuchs.

Every time Li Shimin saw this, he would get inexplicably angry.

The fact that the Ming Dynasty emperors were wary of eunuchs wielding power can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin had long been unable to restrain his dagger.

They asked Liu Yuxi many detailed questions, and Liu Yuxi answered them one by one.

The next morning, the sky opened.

For Yue, Fei, and others from the Qin Dynasty, witnessing the righteous deeds of the Li emperor of the later dynasty ignited their passion.

The sisters in their family start pounding rice early in the morning. In the past, the women in the family used mortars and pestles to pound rice, but now, after seeing the celestial screen, the craftsmen are able to make foot-operated mortars and pestles. Even near the river, they have made water mortars that utilize the flow of water, just as the celestial screen showed.

They no longer eat coarse food like before.

Now, looking at that mighty emperor, they were filled with indignation once more.

Li Shimin returned to the Zhenguan era, inspected a number of troops, and then suddenly arrived here again.

This time, as he pointed out the names on the list, it was as if the King of Hell was demanding lives.

"Wei Gao, Liu Pi, Ju Wenzhen..."

Li Shimin was determined to kill all the eunuchs, especially Ju Wenzhen and others!

However, he first needs to go to the palace.

What they found was a man named Shunzong whose mouth and eyes were crooked and who could not move.

When Emperor Shunzong saw Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, he became excited and tried to sit up, waving his hands as if he wanted to kneel down.

Li Shimin: "..."

He kept shaking his head, then went up and pressed his hand down to show that he knew everything.

Emperor Shunzong fell silent, his eyes blinking, tears streaming down his face as he struggled to utter a few words, “Sixth, sixth generation descendant, I have met, I have met Emperor Taizong.”

"Good boy, let the immortal Sun take a look at you." Li Shimin knew about Emperor Shunzong's condition, so he brought Sun Simiao with him on his way back.

Hearing the noise inside, the palace servants outside immediately became alert. Seeing the sudden increase in people, they were about to scream, but the imperial guards accompanying Li Shimin quickly covered their mouths and, with a knock, swiftly dragged them into the shadows.

This time, only Bai Qin was by Zhu Qinggu's side. When the silent imperial guards suddenly attacked, she tensed up and immediately became alert, watching their every move.

As a special forces member, she knew these must be the elite of the elite.
