Chapter 366 I don’t care who is the emperor, I only care whether my life is good or not
Chapter 366: People don’t care who is the emperor, they only care about whether their lives are good or not
“It’s actually like this”
After listening to Li Zhongren’s story about Zhu Yuanzhang.
Li Shimin nodded slightly.
People who came from humble beginnings would not trust anyone, especially when their eldest son and grandson were both dead. It makes sense for them to do those things, but, as this kid said, just because it makes sense does not mean it is right. In the final analysis, his actions were only to protect his Zhu Dynasty.
"Among all the emperors of ancient and modern times, this man should be ranked first in terms of murderous nature."
"However, based on his efforts to bridge the gap between the north and the south and rebuild China, he can be ranked alongside me."
"That Zhao Kuangyin is far inferior to me."
"What about after tomorrow?"
"It's also an invasion by foreign races."
"Or Turkic?"
"No, the Turks seemed to have been exterminated at that time. According to the geographical location, they were probably in today's Northeast China, or in the area of Goguryeo. But I was talking about the geographical location, which has nothing to do with Goguryeo. I don't know the details. I only know that they were originally captured by the generals of the Ming Dynasty to fight. In the end, the Ming Dynasty declined, and they fought back and established the last imperial regime on the land of China. Then, the people of the Central Plains, mainly Han people, overthrew the Qing Dynasty, drove away the foreigners, and established the regime of our time."
Li Shimin said nothing.
He just looked ahead, as if he could see through time and space.
After a long moment, he nodded slightly.
The curiosity in my heart has been calmed, and at the same time, I have some ideas. For things that are too far away, just listen to them, or absorb some lessons from the past from the future. For the rest, I still have to focus on the present.
For example, the so-called Qing Dynasty, now, no one knows where they are living as savages.
"How many emperors of the Tang Dynasty do you know? Those with names and surnames."
"Let me think about it. Three."
"Which three."
"The first one is naturally you."
"Ah."
“The second one is a bit more impressive.”
"How powerful?"
"The only female emperor in the five thousand years of Chinese history."
"???What the hell?"
"You heard it right, that's it. She should have been the emperor's concubine at the time. After the emperor died, she ascended the throne."
"Nonsense, the royal family, the whole court doesn't care?"
"I heard that the emperor was in poor health at the time, so she had the final say on government affairs and promotions."
"Useless! How can you be so stupid? Even if that's the case, why didn't you kill him before he died?"
"It seems that your son thought that she was already sixty years old at the time and would not live for many more years, probably."
“My son???”
"Yes."
Perhaps it was because he heard too much news that night. Although Li Shimin was very excited at the moment, he was still able to control his emotions.
"Did the Tang Dynasty almost perish in the second generation? Or was it usurped by a woman and changed her surname?"
"After her death, the emperor's surname was still Li."
"Please tell me more about what you know."
"Perhaps she was summoned to the palace by you to be a concubine."
"stop!!"
"Isn't she my daughter-in-law?"
The veins on Li Shimin's forehead were exposed.
"After you died, your son married her."
"Which son of mine?"
"I don't know. I really don't know your son's name. I only know that he is your son."
"What else do you know about her?"
"Not much. I heard that her family was rich and powerful. But after her father died, she was bullied and left with her mother. Later, I don't know how, she became your concubine. I think she was a talented woman or something. But I don't know why, after you married her, you didn't seem to like her. She never got pregnant until you died."
"Oh, I remembered."
"Some people say that after the third Tang Dynasty, the female ruler Wu Wang will rule the world. That's it. Who else did you ask for fortune-telling? It seems that you ignored her."
"Then your son met her, and then..."
"Okay."
Li Shimin waved his hands. He probably understood what was going on. Thinking this way, he felt somewhat psychologically comforted. Perhaps it was because he had never touched her. This was all he could think of.
However, who released this news remains to be investigated. Of course, he is on guard now. If someone does this, haha.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I called you here today to torture you."
"Torture?"
"Yes, I have said that you are from the future. You are not allowed to tell anyone except me. What I care about is your ability to do business. If your ability is real, I can give you a title. However, I have said before that businessmen are not allowed to interfere in politics. So I can promise you wealth and glory, but I will not give you real power."
"I don't want it even if I give it to you. Isn't it good for me to endure all that hardship, make money, and enjoy a luxurious life?"
"hehe."
"Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth. To be frank, if I were to work as hard as you do, I wouldn't even be the emperor. It's too tiring. I'd work my whole life until I die. Don't you know that you're already in your 50s..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Li Shimin's expression finally turned a little cold.
The family knows their own affairs.
His health is fine.
There is also dragon energy protecting the body, making it immune to all poisons and unaffected by all kinds of magic.
How could he die at the age of fifty?
"How did you die?"
"I heard that you had many hidden injuries in your early years of fighting, so you took elixirs. In fact, elixirs are all highly toxic, so you gave yourself up."
"No need to say anything more."
Li Shimin understood that it was normal for elixirs to have elixir poison, but it was abnormal for elixirs to be highly toxic. He had been taking various elixirs to assist in his practice since he was a child, so the only explanation was that he was probably poisoned to death.
"Hey"
He couldn't help but sigh.
Because he thought again, perhaps it was because of the way he came to power that made his children and grandchildren want to emulate him.
"Forget it. Let me ask you one more question. How will future generations evaluate the Xuanwu Gate Incident and the transfer of power of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Is it always like this?"
“In the beginning, there were a lot of criticisms, but later, everyone felt that this was acceptable.”
"After all, we ordinary people don't care who the emperor is. We only care about whether we can live a good life. Moreover, looking back at history for five thousand years, your coup has had the least impact on ordinary people. Just sleep on it, nothing will change, and that's it."
"In particular, the biggest source of the problem lies with your father."
"If he hadn't played it this way on purpose, you wouldn't have gotten to this point."
"In fact, this foreshadowing was laid from the day your family started the rebellion."
"If he really has great talent and ambition, he should have made this plan from the beginning."
"But he didn't. Instead, he used you and your brother to restrain each other, making his throne more secure. So, he deserves it."
"What a good one. The common people don't care who is the emperor, they only care about whether their lives are good...Haha, haha."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Shimin felt the depression in his heart disappear without a trace. Even if he knew that his son had rebelled, seized his concubine, and ascended the throne as emperor, he didn't care. Compared with this incident, it was nothing.
"As for what you said, how did the emperor become emperor? I really don't know."
"Forget it, let's get back to you. What is your ability?"
"Trading. I can buy items from the future, but I can't buy whatever I want. I can only buy a few items every month, which change once a month. The items I buy are divided into five levels."
"Common, High, Rare, Epic, Legendary."
“There is at least one senior every month.”
"It refreshes once a month, and there is a chance that rare, epic, or legendary items will appear." "So, you can only buy one of each item, right?"
"It's not fixed. Some items can be sold in bulk, while some items have a limited number. It's determined randomly."
"Okay, then I'll tell you about the torture I used on you. Do you know Shuofang?"
"do not know?"
"Have you heard of Master Liang?"
"do not know."
"., then who do you know in the current Tang Dynasty?"
"Let me think about it."
Li Zhongren snapped his fingers.
"You, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, um... that's it. I might remember the others by hearing their names, but I can't remember them without hearing their names."
"Oh, yes, there is also Queen Changsun Wuji."
"??? Zhang Sun Wuji is my uncle!!"
"Ah, anyway, it's Empress Changsun. I thought Empress Changsun's name was Changsun Wuji."
"., you."
Li Shimin shook his head and no longer counted on this guy's historical knowledge. What he knew were basically the most prestigious people of his time. He didn't know anything about those who were a little lower in position.
"This Liang Shidu is a warlord who controls a certain area."
"I once submitted to the Tang Dynasty."
"Then he rebelled."
"I plan to deal with him recently."
"That's right. You said you have the ability to purchase future items. So I really hope you can go to the rear of the front line and select useful items to help my army deal with Liang Shidu. If you can prove your ability, I will confer you a title. As for the level of the title, it depends on the amount of help you provide this time."
"Any objection?"
"No."
"Well, go back and pack up. I will send someone to take you to the rear of the front line soon. Of course, I will ensure your safety."
"Of course."
-
"His Majesty."
In the harem, Changsun Guanyin's maid saw Li Shimin walking in and stood up to salute.
"I've already said that there's no one else around, so there's no need for us to be polite."
After saying that, he hugged Guanyinbi and sat down beside the bed.
"Your Majesty, are you worried?"
Guanyinbi leaned on the strong arm and asked.
"Haha, didn't you say that the harem doesn't interfere in politics?"
"Hmph, Your Majesty, are you doing this for state affairs or family affairs? I can tell at a glance."
"Hey"
Li Shimin sighed.
Nothing was said.
How did he say?
His eight-year-old son will rebel in the future.
One of his sons later inherited his position, but he took his woman as his queen and even made her the only female emperor in history.
And, he was poisoned to death when he was in his fifties.
Perhaps, this is the price I paid for killing my brother. As for that younger brother, killing him would actually be a way of enforcing justice.
"It's okay. How has Cheng Qian been doing these days?"
"Very good. You know Li Gang well. He is upright and honest. Cheng Qian also likes this teacher very much, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin's hands suddenly became a little dishonest, and Empress Changsun stopped them directly.
"I seem to be pregnant."
"what?"
Li Shimin was stunned at first, and then felt a little happy, but also a little gloomy.
Because he thought that according to history, the emperor might be Li Tai, but his queen was pregnant again, so the future became a little confusing.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
"It's okay, I'm happy, haha"
But soon, Li Shimin gave up this confusion.
As I said, he is still young, only 29 years old. Since he already knows the future, even if this future is fake, he can use it to warn himself that there must be something wrong with his education method that has caused his children to have problems one after another.
After all, it is easy to deal with if a prince has problems, but if the child who comes to the throne does something like that, the only explanation is the father's dereliction of duty.
The ancients said, examine yourself three times a day.
At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly felt that something was indeed wrong with him recently.
What's wrong?
Recently, he has been more concerned about Li Tai than Li Chengqian. Although his original intention was just to give you more love since the throne was given to your elder brother, he is the emperor, and his every word and action is seen by countless people. You are so good to your second son, will others have any thoughts?
Why would his eldest son rebel?
Is there a possibility that, normally, as long as there are no problems on his part, there is no doubt that he will become the emperor?
Maybe it was because of my gradual preference for Li Tai in the future that made him feel a sense of crisis?
"Cough cough."
"Are you OK."
"I am fine. It's just an old illness."
"Tomorrow, I will ask the imperial physician to check you out."
"That alien knows medical skills?"
Empress Changsun naturally knew about Li Zhongren's existence, but she didn't ask much.
So, Li Shimin explained Li Zhongren's abilities and said that he could obtain rare items for trading.
"Then I, your Majesty, would like to thank you very much."
-
"To quell the rebellion"
It was late at night, and after a lot of tossing and turning, the two beautiful concubines had fallen asleep.
Li Zhongren looked at the ceiling quietly, actually he was looking at his own plug-in.
Currently, there are five kinds of randomly spawned items, coming from all over the world. And, because this is the first time I have activated the plug-in, there are common, advanced, rare, epic, and legendary items.
