Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 525 Extra: When Li Shimin came to Wu Zhou [Part ] (from a certain NC TV series world line)

[This extra world line is the timeline of a certain TV series - the real Wu Zetian is not that stupid. 】

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

A series of majestic voices rang out, and Li Shimin slowly woke up from his endless coma. He frowned and looked at everything around him. Everything around him was unfamiliar, and he didn't recognize it at all. He just found that he should be at a banquet now.

banquet?

Didn't he just arrive at Peach Blossom Spring, meet the ancestor of the Chen family, and then plan to find a place to create his own "domain"? How did he come to a banquet for no apparent reason? And it looked like a banquet in the secular world?
Why does the music coming from afar sound so familiar?

As the passionate and generous singing came, Li Shimin's face was filled with astonishment. Isn't this the Qin King's Breaking Formation Music that he composed?
Did he return to the Tang Dynasty?
The memories in his mind kept surging, and a burst of intense pain suddenly came from the depths of his mind, making Li Shimin feel a little unbearable, but what kind of person was Emperor Taizu Li Shimin? Even in such severe pain, he still maintained elegance and composure.

And when the pain ended, the memory of this body slowly awakened.

Li Shimin, who understood everything, looked gradually strange.

He looked at the man sitting on the throne strangely, a half-smile appeared on his face, and his whole temperament changed instantly.

The ministers around who had been paying attention to him also discovered something strange about Li Shimin.

Di Renjie's expression changed slightly. For some reason, he always felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar. Where had he seen this person before? Where was it? He couldn't remember it for a moment, but his inexplicable intuition told him that this matter was very important.

Yao Chong and Song Jing were also a little confused. Why did the temperament of this prince suddenly change? This temperament seemed more like a real emperor.

Is it really a good thing to let such a prince go out to marry?

At this time, Li Shimin seemed to have not changed on the surface, but in fact, his inner anger could no longer be concealed - he was not targeting the matter of marriage, nor the so-called marriage of men, but the matter of sending the legitimate princes of the Li Tang royal family to marry!
Does this so-called queen have a fake brain?

They even dared to play the Qin King's Battle Music at this banquet? It's ridiculous.
But at this time, Li Shimin did not take any action. Instead, he just waited silently.

While waiting, Li Shimin was sorting out the timeline of this world in his mind. This sorting out did not matter, but it made him discover something more interesting.

There is no Chen family in this world!

Even he was not the emperor by succession, but inherited the throne through the "Xuanwu Gate Incident"
He sat there in silence, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed for the "Li Shimin" of this world. Without Chen, the world's technological level was still in an extremely backward state. There was even no Xianyang Academy and Imperial College, and printing had just been invented, not to mention the spread of various schools of thought.

In this world line, only Confucianism has been passed down.

History seems to have changed since the Spring and Autumn Period. Shang Yang's Reforms in Qin can be said to have failed, or it can be said that they did not fail. The Qin Dynasty still unified the world, but it perished in the second generation. It was not as heroic as the demise of Qin in his timeline, but rather a bit ridiculous.

Then there was Empress Lü during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, the fratricide between father and son during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and even the fact that there was no such dynasty as Dayu in this world at all!

After Sima Yi successfully usurped the throne, he established the Great Jin Dynasty, which soon became the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Turks lived in the south, while the north was occupied by ethnic minorities. Because there is no Chen family in this world, the Turks on the grasslands are still very rampant until now.

As he watched, Li Shimin's expression became a little gloomy.

In the original world, Li Chengqian took over his throne, but in this world, he and Li Chengqian became enemies as father and son.

"Ugh--"

A long sigh came out of Li Shimin's mouth. He had not expected that Cheng Qian in this world would end up like this. This made him feel very sad, but he also felt helpless as he didn't know how to change it.

The music continues.

The expressions of the soldiers and veteran officials in the hall all slowly changed.

Even Di Renjie's expression changed!

Di Renjie looked at the woman sitting on the throne with a look of disbelief on his face. What on earth was this person thinking? Why did it seem as if her brain had suddenly disappeared?
First, he sent the legitimate prince of Li Tang to marry and handed over his own legal gifts, and then played the music of the Qin King breaking the formation in this hall? ? ? ? This damn, brainless thing, doesn't he know the influence of Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan?

He looked at the expressions of the people around him, and his heart slowly sank.
Because someone has already stood up.

"The Demon Queen!"

Zhang Jianzhi looked solemn, with inexplicable anger on his face, and he looked like a long sword emerging from a scabbard!
However, it was someone else who moved faster.

Li Shimin.

"Clap clap-"

Sounds of applause echoed in the hall. Li Shimin's expression did not change at all. He just sat there, but he seemed to be sitting on the throne.

At this moment, he is the master of this hall!
He is the emperor!
This is - the strongest carbon-based creature of the seventh century, the governor of Asia, the boss of the Eastern Hemisphere, with the appearance of dragon and phoenix, the symbol of the sun and the sky, the Grand Marshal of the Tang Dynasty, the Situ, the Minister of the Chancellery, the Minister of the Central Chancellery, the Grand Minister of the East Shaanxi Road, the Minister of the Yizhou Road, the Governor of Yongzhou, the Governor of Liangzhou, the General of the Right Guard, the Generals of the Left and Right Guards, the Generals of the Twelve Guards, the Supreme Pillar of the State, the King of Qin, the General of Tiance, the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin should have the momentum!

What's more, the person standing here at this moment is not the original Li Shimin, but the enhanced version of Li Shimin!
If the original Li Shimin was Li Shimin, then the Li Shimin at this time was the pro max version of Li Shimin!

Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Asia, the only person in charge of Europe, the only person in charge of the Shang Continent, and the governor of the earth, Li Shimin!
“Nice piece of music.”

Li Shimin sat there with an indifferent expression. At this moment, the ministers around him all felt frightened, as if some dangerous person had been released. He raised his head slightly, and was clearly looking up at Wu Zetian, but at this moment it seemed as if he was looking down at Wu Zetian.

Sitting on the throne, Wu Zetian looked at those emotionless eyes and her whole body began to tremble subconsciously. She was very scared. For some reason, she felt that those eyes looked like a person, a person she was very scared of!
If that person hadn't died, she would never dare to do such a thing in her life!

People who don’t even dare to think about it!

A man to whom she could only be a slave!

That was the most humiliating part of her history.
But now, seeing this pair of eyes, she remembered everything!

She paused, and said in a deep voice, forcing herself to calm down: "Sanlang, what are you dissatisfied with my order?" Li Shimin stood up slowly, and this standing up made his temperament more obvious. This is a frightening temperament that belongs to a superior.
"dissatisfied?"

"Saburo?"

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin uttered a title that Wu Zetian thought she would never hear again in her life.

"Wu Cairen, where do you get the guts to call yourself "I"?

He walked forward step by step, seemingly ignoring the soldiers and ministers around him. His eyes were cold and filled with a bit of disdain: "Being a woman in power is not your biggest mistake. Your biggest mistake is that you have no political wisdom!"

When Li Shimin walked to the curtain, he gently pushed it aside and looked at Wu Zetian, who was sitting behind the curtain and was already fidgeting, and said disdainfully: "Get down! Don't let me say it a second time!"

Subconsciously, Wu Zetian, who had been pampered for decades, slid down from the dragon throne tremblingly, and collapsed there, looking at the man in front of her. At this moment, she finally remembered who these eyes looked like!
The ministers and soldiers around who were planning to launch an attack also remembered who these eyes belonged to!

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty! Heavenly Khan!
Li Shimin!
Even the voices are so similar!

Before anyone could react, Zhang Jianzhi knelt on the ground, looking at Li Shimin standing there, shaking with excitement!

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

This cheer made the entire hall silent for a moment, and then everyone was shouting in an instant - especially the big families. Everyone remembered the horror of Li Shimin's rule!
His Majesty Taizong is back?
How can this be?

But this look was definitely seen by His Majesty Taizong!
Zhang Jianzhi's tears flowed down, covering his entire cheeks. He was trembling all over as he said, "Your Majesty, are you in heaven seeing this evil queen doing such a thing, and you couldn't stand it, so you came down to set things right?"

Di Renjie and others were also kneeling there, as well as the old ministers who remained from the Zhenguan period. Their faces and eyes were filled with excitement, surprise, and a hint of anticipation.

Li Shimin sat on the throne with his horse and sword in his arms. This body made him feel young and comfortable for the first time in a long time.

He just looked at the group of people below indifferently - there were even members of the Li Tang royal family: "Don't come down? If you don't come down, my Great Tang will be ruined by you unworthy descendants and treacherous people!"

A treacherous person?

This word is too big!
Everyone present blushed with shame, and no one dared to look directly at Li Shimin.

But Li Shimin looked directly at Di Renjie and asked: "Are you the prime minister at this time?"

Di Renjie covered his face and stepped forward, with a look of guilt and sadness on his face: "Your Majesty, I am your humble servant."

Li Shimin said indifferently: "Then why do you allow this villain to cause chaos in the world?"

"She is a woman with no brains, and you have no brains either?"

He laughed sarcastically and said, "You really opened my eyes. Let the legitimate prince of Li Tang go out to marry? This idiot with a head full of straw and mud only thinks that this will make her, a woman, look very high-ranking. It seems to be humiliating men. She can't think of the consequences of sending the legitimate prince of Li Tang out to marry. You, the so-called prime minister, can't think of it either?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's eyes were filled with anger.

"bump--"

Li Shimin threw a cup directly and hit Di Renjie on the forehead, and blood flowed out instantly.

Emperor Taizong had a bad temper, and the promax version of Emperor Taizu had an even worse temper!
"say!"

Feeling this terrifying, heart-pounding low pressure, Di Renjie didn't know what to say. What should he say? He didn't agree with this matter, but for the sake of power, he didn't persuade him?

Should we say that he can't give advice either?

Or something else?
Di Renjie, with his clever mind, thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how to explain it.

Because he had no excuse to use.

Wu Zetian was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to show it. But how good was Li Shimin's perception of emotions? He immediately sensed Wu Zetian's dissatisfaction and anger, and sneered: "What?"

"Wu Cairen, do you think I am wrongly accusing you of having no brains?"

"Di Renjie, tell her what the consequences will be of sending the legitimate bloodline of the Li Tang royal family to the grasslands to marry!"

Di Renjie closed his eyes and could only speak: "The Turks, the steppes and other barbarians have coveted our Central Plains for a long time. Back then, they dared to claim to be the orthodox bloodline of Emperor Gaozu just by relying on the bloodline of the princess sent over as a marriage, and then invaded the Central Plains from the south."

"And if they get the royal bloodline, they will use it as a puppet and invade the Central Plains at the first opportunity."

"And now the emperor of the Central Plains——"

At this point, Di Renjie looked at Wu Zetian and said, "The evil queen who rebelled and usurped the throne is not the orthodox Li Tang royal family, so she has no basis in law and etiquette. I am even afraid that the prince will get the support of the Jiedushi before he leaves the Tang Dynasty."

"As a result, the world was in chaos."

After hearing Di Renjie's answer, Li Shimin applauded: "Not bad, good analysis, it seems you still have some brains."

But then his expression became even colder: "So you know this, why don't you make a remonstrance?"

Li Shimin pretended to understand something and said, "Oh - I understand. Are you reluctant to give up your power and status?"

"It seems that people like Wei Zheng are no longer in the court at this time."

"The court is filled with nothing but a bunch of treacherous villains."

He looked at Wu Zetian with a cold expression: "Now, you understand why we can't send the orthodox royal bloodline out, right?"

"Wu Cairen?"
