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

Under the canopy, some people listened to Li Shimin's explanation and gained some insights, some pondered deeply, some watched the spectacle, and some wholeheartedly agreed.

Finally, Guo Ziyi used the terrain to ambush and wipe out Shi Siming and his group, which was one of his specialties.

In the city, Li Shimin and the middle-aged and elderly Li Longji, among others, received Yan Gaoqing.

In the original history, he organized Tang troops and righteous armies to intercept the rebels, but when his request for help failed, he was executed by An Lushan, who cut out his tongue and subjected him to slow slicing.

Upon hearing the news of the murder of Yan Gaoqing's family, Yan Zhenqing wrote "A Eulogy for My Nephew" in grief and indignation.

Now, Zhu Qinggu and the people of the whole city were beaming with triumph, and Yan Gaoqing looked relieved to have fulfilled his mission. They felt that even if the "Draft of a Eulogy for My Nephew" did not exist in this timeline, it would still be a good thing.

Besides An Lushan and Shi Siming, the two biggest uncertainties in the An Lushan Rebellion, there were also some hidden dangers.

Naturally, it needs to be resolved quickly and decisively.

Those generals and barbarian soldiers who responded to An Lushan, as well as the stupid and wicked eunuchs involved in this matter, should all be investigated and executed one by one.

As for how to deal with the Yang family, Li Shimin didn't have time to concern himself with that at the moment, as he still had to lead his troops to quell the rebellion.

Later, Zhu Qinggu learned that the middle-aged Li Longji had executed Yang Guozhong, and that all of Yang's family members had been poisoned and sent to heaven, a ruthless and decisive act.

When he learned of Yang Yuhuan's passing, the elderly Emperor Li Longji murmured, "Yuhuan shouldn't have died..."

The middle-aged Li Longji looked down at him with a hint of sneer, "You really love her? It's nothing but lust. When I left, she had already been freed. Who do you think she died for?"

In his later years, Li Longji was confined to the palace, unable to leave all day, with his loyal servant Gao Lishi probably the only one by his side.

The elderly Gao Lishi bowed deeply to the middle-aged Li Longji in gratitude, and then followed the dejected old Li Longji.

He was naturally delighted to see the young and valiant emperor, but he also knew that he was the only one left by the old Li Longji's side.

When the court officials gathered for the morning audience, their expressions were complex as they looked at the somewhat young emperor on the dragon throne.

"Greetings to His Majesty Emperor Taizong, greetings to His Majesty Emperor Gaozong, greetings to His Majesty, greetings to Prince Hengshan, and Prince Pu."

There were three dragon thrones above, with Li Shimin as the most honored, while Li Chengqian and Li Tai stood below the emperor, winking and making faces at Li Zhi above.

Actually, they thought they could sit in that position now too.

However, they all knew that they still had many shortcomings, especially after coming out this time and learning a lot from Li Shimin. They felt that they were not yet capable of shouldering this heavy responsibility.

Otherwise, Li Shimin wouldn't have sent the middle-aged Li Longji.

There is still some unrest here that needs to be quelled. After the unrest is quelled, how should the national policy be implemented, who should be appointed, and how should they be appointed?

These middle-aged Li Longjis at least had experience in governing the country, and since Li Longji's influence in the court had not yet disappeared, many talented people had already begun to emerge during Li Longji's middle age.

The middle-aged Li Longji was naturally more adept at handling things.

As for what to do next, we need to consider it carefully.

All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground.

"rise."

The ministers then rose.

"This turmoil has been quelled, and I will now return to the Zhenguan era. I will select capable individuals like you to come to the Zhenguan era and witness its prosperity," Li Shimin said.

"Is Father referring to the establishment of diplomatic relations with future generations of China?" Li Zhi asked.

“Indeed, this matter can serve as a model for you all; in later terms, it can be called a testing ground!” Li Shimin smiled, then asked, “Where is Liu Yan?”

A thin, bearded middle-aged man stepped forward with his hands clasped in front of him, and all eyes of the courtiers immediately turned to him.

Zhu Qinggu's shop sells history books, but not everyone has a copy. Even if someone is lucky enough to get a history book, it will eventually end up in the hands of the rulers. As for them, would they dare to read it?

Emperors like Li Shimin would consult with those around them and listen to their advice, but here, with the An Lushan Rebellion already raging, would anyone still have the mind to read history books?

Therefore, some people were puzzled as to why Liu Yan would gain Emperor Taizong's favor.

"Liu Yan has been promoted to Minister of Revenue, in charge of all financial affairs, and concurrently serves as Chancellor. Although the Tang Dynasty has quelled the rebellion, the national treasury is empty. I want you to manage the nation's resources to enrich the country and strengthen the people. Can you do it?" Li Shimin's gaze fell on him.

After a moment's thought, Liu Yan replied, "I dare not say it is absolute, but I can only say that I will do my best."

Li Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Father, what about the Two Tax Laws?"

"Let's put this matter aside for now and focus on recovering our strength," Li Shimin said, then turned to the middle-aged Li Longji and said, "This man can help you, but you must not arbitrarily kill the ministers I have my eye on."

"..." Li Longji said, "Your Majesty, I am still young and not yet senile."

"Alright, I'll leave the matter of rewarding meritorious service to you. I'm in a hurry to return with Miss Zhu. On that day, you will come with them, and bring your advisor with you as well," Li Shimin said.

He then hurriedly left the training ground with Li Zhi, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Jing, and others to review the troops and return.

The middle-aged Li Longji was still here, looking at each other with his court officials.

The much younger emperor is still worthy of respect and admiration, after all, he created a golden age. With His Majesty Taizong watching over things this time, he shouldn't go astray, right?

Zhu Qinggu was already waiting for them downstairs. Just now, she was live-streaming Xue Rengui and Xue Ne disciplining Xue Ne's son, Xue Song.

When the An Lushan Rebellion broke out, historical records state that he followed the rebels for a period of time before surrendering to the Tang Dynasty. He also guarded many places and maintained the stability of the Tang Dynasty.

He didn't have time to follow the rebels here, nor did he intend to, but he was still taught a lesson by Xue Rengui and Xue Ne.

The father and son, who were originally very unfamiliar with each other and had a very strange atmosphere, now have a subtle sense of shared hatred because of the child being beaten.

People love to see kids get disciplined. "If you don't beat them for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles." You'd think they had the guts to rebel.

It almost led to the destruction of your ancestors from the very beginning.

Xue Song was also wronged.

“That old scoundrel Li is suppressing our military family. My father has been dismissed from his post, and I don’t know anything about literature, so I can’t possibly become the top scholar…” Xue Song said cautiously.

His father, Xue Chuyu, was Xue Ne's younger brother. Speaking of this, Xue Song was filled with bitterness.

The "Old Thief Li" refers to Li Linfu. After he came to power, he suppressed the sons of powerful families in order to gain power, and even marginal people like Xue Song were implicated.

After Xue Song finished speaking, he cautiously looked at his fierce-looking uncle and grandfather, "Besides, the place where An Lushan started his rebellion is not far from our Xue family. If I am unwilling, the Xue family will be gone."
