I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 131 Who the hell is talking about us behind our backs!
After a long silence.

Li Shimin suddenly asked:
"What do you think? If Li Longji could no longer attend the tutoring class, would his Tang Dynasty be destroyed?"

The three ministers present did not dare to speak.

This is actually something that does not need to be discussed at all. With Li Longji's character, if he continues like this, it won't be long before the An-Shi Rebellion breaks out on time, and the Tang Dynasty will go from prosperity to decline. Even if the previous foundation is there, it will not die overnight, but the Tang Dynasty should not be too far from extinction.

But facts are facts. It is not good to say in front of Your Majesty that the Tang Dynasty will perish.

Li Shimin glanced at them and had a general idea of ​​what these three people were thinking.

He was not angry, he just smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Don't worry so much. I was just thinking that if I could change some things, the history of the Tang Dynasty might be different in the future."

"For example, now that Wu Zetian has been summoned to the palace in advance, even if Guanyin Bi cannot be rescued in the end, I will never leave any hidden dangers for the Tang Dynasty after knowing her abilities, and there will no longer be any female emperors."

"For example, a while ago, Cheng Qian swore to the heavens in front of Guanyin Bi that he even changed the course of history, which shows that he really listened to the advice. Therefore, the absurd things he did will not happen again in the future, and there will be no more things like the deposed crown prince and Zhinu ascending the throne."

"If these things hadn't happened, would Li Longji still be the emperor?"

"I'm just thinking about this."

The two civil officials were frowning in thought.

Although this kind of logical problem is not difficult for them, it is of great importance after all, and it still needs to be carefully considered. It is better to be safe than sorry. If there is any omission, it will be a big trouble.

However, the things that Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are worried about do not mean that Cheng Yaojin is also worried about them.

He speaks out:
"Your Majesty, instead of sitting here and pondering on your own, why don't you just ask that damn system?"

"I, Old Cheng, have finally discovered that this thing is like a stubborn donkey. It won't move unless it is beaten. If we have any ideas, we can just ask it directly. If it can't answer, it won't be too late to consider other things!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

What Zhijie said does make sense... The words are rough but the logic is there. Even though he does not completely trust this so-called system, Cheng Yaojin actually saw the images last night and this morning, and the things conveyed by the images are quite consistent with the personalities of his classmates.

It won’t hurt to ask, so why not give it a try!
"System, are you here?"

Li Shimin tried to speak and asked the void.

【Hello, I'm here. 】

There really was a reaction!
Since it can now reply, Emperor Li II will not test it any further.

He continued his efforts and asked directly:
"I want to know, if I change history, will my descendants be affected?"

[Are you talking about the later emperors in history, or the later emperors judged according to your time and space standards? ]

Does this make a difference?

Li Shimin didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he had to repeat the system's words to the people below and ask for their opinions.

Fang Xuanling pondered at this time:

"Your Majesty, I think there is a big difference between the two."

"If we take the time when we entered the tutoring class as the standard, if there was no tutoring class, the original historical development would be just like what Mr. Song and Zhu Biao said, and a series of things would happen, such as the dethronement of the crown prince and the ascension of the empress. But now that we have the tutoring class, we know it in advance, and we can naturally avoid those pitfalls in history."

“You could say that [history] changed the moment we entered the tutorial class.”

"This sentence should mean that we are now separated from the original history and the direction is completely different."

Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"System, can you explain both directions?"

【Can. 】

[Every emperor and his ministers who enter the tutoring class have their own era, which does not interfere with other dynasties and eras. It can be called a parallel time and space.]

[For example, Ying Zheng and Meng Tian are both from the 29th year of the First Emperor, so they belong to the same time and space; you and Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, and Zhangsun Wuji are all from the 9th year of Zhenguan, so you all belong to the same time and space; the same goes for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.]

[Even if Ying Zheng, who was at the front of the historical sequence, made many major changes, it would not disturb the ninth year of Zhenguan where you students were, and your historical records did not fluctuate or change at all.]

[Because the tutoring class is a disruption node, when you were selected by the tutoring class, history had already gone in another direction.]

Li Shimin relayed his answer to others.

Changsun Wuji asked sensitively:

"Your Majesty, the examples it gives are all emperors and generals from different dynasties. Can you ask it what would happen if it were people from the same dynasty?"

"Just like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were from the 10th year of Hongwu, and Zhu Di was their biological son and brother, from the 2nd year of Yongle, would Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior change the so-called Jingnan Campaign, causing Zhu Di to become a prisoner overnight?"

Li Shimin was also very curious about this, so he simply asked the system a question by copying and pasting it.

It’s not that Changsun Wuji can’t ask himself, but mainly because this is the question that Emperor Li II wants to ask, so it’s better to give all the right to ask questions to His Majesty.

The system's answer is also very brief.

【Won't. 】

[In the same dynasty, emperors and generals from different times and spaces also do not interfere with each other. ]

Li Shimin was finally relieved.

In fact, what he was most worried about was not Li Longji.

Judging from Mr. Song's luck in picking students, the probability of picking a wise ruler is relatively high, but what if he picked two more mediocre rulers?

Look at Li Longji in his later years and Zhu Qizhen in his prime. These two people are still two shining pieces in the long river of history. If you are a little luckier, you can still save yourself if you draw the young Li Longji, but now, this guy is completely useless.

With such an unpredictable probability of recruiting people, if something goes wrong, he might pick his father Li Yuan who just founded the country...

Li Shimin got goosebumps just thinking about it.

Due to the influence of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Emperor Li II has always been a little bit taboo. Unfortunately, he tried several times but failed to get the historian to change his words, so he gave up in the end. He didn't care how future generations would comment on him, but if Li Yuan in his prime really went to the tutoring class and let the other party know those things, he couldn't imagine how he would be treated.

I guess it's similar to Zhu Di, who doesn't say anything until he gets beaten up.

Fortunately, there was no influence between the emperors and generals of different times...

Li Shimin slapped his head and suddenly remembered what he had been thinking about: "System, that... that student in the tutoring class, can it be replaced?"

"Other classmates told me before that when the teacher gets angry at the beginning of the class, he will say something, and those who don't want to listen should change a group of people to come in and listen."

"If I fail the test, or talk back to my teacher, does that mean I can be replaced?"

[The teacher cannot be replaced, but Song Shen, as the only teacher in the tutoring class, has the freedom to persuade students to quit. ]

Li Shimin's smile froze.

Originally, after Cheng Yaojin's advice, he was thinking about what he had heard from other people before and was going to ask if he could change someone, such as Li Zhi or Wu Zetian. At least he knew them and they were still within his controllable range and could suppress their bloodline like Zhu Yuanzhang threatened Zhu Di. But after all, he couldn't figure out how to do it!

"……Fine."

He gave up on any other action and could only end the interrogation.

Seeing His Majesty's expression, how could the other three people in the hall not know that he had been defeated by the system?

But only Cheng Yaojin was thick-skinned and bold enough to ask directly:

"Your Majesty, you have been asking for a long time. Have you come up with any result?"

Li Shimin glared at him unhappily:
"What can be the result!"

"It's true that the people in this class can leave, but it's not up to us to decide. It's just like when we were inexplicably pulled in. The power is in the hands of others!"

"It's just that the people were selected by the system, or Mr. Song picked them by drawing lots, or he chose them by himself within a certain range like the First Emperor and Zhang Liang. But whether to keep them after they enter is entirely up to Mr. Song himself."

"And it doesn't mean that you can just kick one out and get a new one in. I don't understand the rules here."

"In short, that's not something we're considering."

Everyone nodded suddenly.

Then, Changsun Wuji asked cautiously:
"Then... Your Majesty, do you still want to find a way to get Li Longji to leave the tutoring class?"

If Li Shimin really wanted to, even if there were only Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji, they would be enough to make Li Longji a nobody.

Apart from other things, we can just use the simplest method of provoking him, sing the same tune to make Li Longji angry and embarrassed, and then speak rudely to Mr. Song, which will be enough to make him drink a pot. There are many ways, it depends on whether Your Majesty wants to use them.

Li Shimin remained silent for a long time.

Just when everyone thought he had changed his mind, he suddenly spoke.

"This person is rotten to the core."

"I also asked Zhu Biao privately. Firstly, he is well versed in history books, and secondly, he is the class leader. Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, he told me some truth."

"Li Longji, in fact, does not have any great ability, but he is very lucky, ridiculously lucky."

"Even if the hidden crown prince Li Jiancheng was in his time, he would probably be able to fight his way out. I have fought him with real swords and guns, and I think he is not bad. But this Li Sanlang rebelled twice, and to be frank, they were just palace coups. What did he do? What was the scene at Xuanwu Gate? What was the scene of his small fight?"

"He knows nothing about fighting a war, but he learned political tactics from his grandmother."

"It's a pity that when Wu Zetian was in power, she at least knew her own abilities and would not kill generals indiscriminately. However, Li Longji was blinded by those slanderous words and thought he was the best in the world!"

"I think he has a bad character. He is a drunkard and a womanizer. He could still pretend when he was young, but now he can't pretend anymore. He is addicted to the so-called Kaiyuan prosperous era and doesn't know what heaven and earth are. When he sobers up and faces swords, he is so desperate that he wants to throw all his chips on the gambling table. One wrong step will lead to another!"

"Even if I were his age and really encountered the An-Shi Rebellion, at least I would know not to cut off my own arms and let the army die."

"He still thinks he is wise and powerful and is smug... Such a rubbish, an emperor who has used gambling and manipulating people's hearts to get ahead since he was a child, what use do I have for him?!"

Li Shimin became angrier as he spoke.

Originally, he was not going to tell his ministers the details of the Anshi Rebellion, because it would be too embarrassing if it got out.

They were all old buddies who had gone through life and death together in the Qin Palace and fought on the battlefield. No matter whether they were civil officials or military generals, they were very familiar with these matters. As a result, such a person came out of their own Li family, who could not fight and could not give orders at all. It was really too damn embarrassing.

It doesn’t mean that every emperor must be able to fight a war.

Apart from the founding emperor, there are only a handful of emperors who are really capable of fighting. But if you can't fight, at least you should have the ability to judge people and know yourself. If you can't do it, just give it to professionals. It's impossible that there are no good generals in the Tang Dynasty, right?

Even though Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, and Geshu Han had all suffered defeats, and even though An Lushan's rebellion conditions were unprecedentedly favorable...

and many more.

The veins on Li Shimin's forehead were bulging.

If he were placed in Li Longji's position, An Lushan would never have had such good conditions.

He is competing with this fool!
Chang Sun Wuji looked at his nose and his heart, pretending that he had not seen His Majesty lose his composure, and just bowed his head and said:
"I understand. Next time I teach, I will try to get Li Longji kicked out by Mr. Song."

Speaking of usefulness, those people in the Ming Dynasty were much more useful than Li Longji. They had advanced technology and knew more about history.

Although the Zhu family was a little hostile to Li Shimin, there was a good guy like Zhu Biao among the bad guys, who had a good temper and strong ability. If you have any questions, just ask him secretly.

What's more, nowadays, the emperors who can come to each dynasty are relatively balanced. If we get rid of one who is a drag, the next one might be Li Zhi?

…………

Ming dynasty.

Hongwu ten years.

Behind the screen, Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that his nose was itchy today.

He kept rubbing his nose, but it became more and more itchy, and finally he started sneezing as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhu Biao next to him was watching his father's movements closely. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Biao immediately covered his father's face with both hands, covering his nose with one hand and pinching his mouth with the other, so that he didn't make the earth-shaking noise of a normal sneeze.

With a puff, a sneeze escaped from the corner of his mouth.

Song Shen pricked up his ears outside with a little curiosity, but Queen Ma didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask -

What if someone farted... wouldn't it be too embarrassing to ask this?
Zhu Biao glared at his father in a rare look: It was almost exposed, what are you doing, Dad!

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that he had almost ruined the situation, so he rubbed his nose in frustration and picked up the pen to write.

"I don't know which bastard is talking about me behind my back. If I find out, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
