Chapter 686 Li Yuan
At this moment, the young Li Yuan, who was still in the Sui Dynasty, was completely bewildered. Had he jumped out to take over so quickly?
Just as he was about to post something, he saw that the small screen was full of comments about "[Cousin has arrived]" scrolling by very quickly. Well, these people are just enjoying the show!
Then, in a series of [Cousin Arrives] messages, I found a large, gold-colored name: Tang Dynasty Li Erfeng: Cousin Arrives!
Li Yuan was so angry his heart ached. "You unfilial son! Don't think that just because he's hiding in the ranks, no one will find him!"
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: What's wrong with a son supporting his father?
The ministers of the Zhenguan era continued to follow in their emperor's footsteps, or perhaps they felt sorry for the former Prince Qin and secretly smuggled in their own opinions, turning it into "Oh dear, my cousin has arrived," which made his cousin, Li Yuan, even more furious.
……
Ying Zheng listened with his eyes lowered, seemingly sighing. There were few who shared his plight; no emperor would choose to be trapped in the past.
He traveled through a thousand years through a screen of light, into a brand new era.
We should have regarded them as predecessors, observing their lives from the sidelines, but instead, out of affection or regret, we approached them and remembered them.
Perhaps, the distance is not so great after all. As the sun rises and the moon sets, future generations will know him, understand him, and earnestly write about him on his tombstone.
In this way, the Qin Dynasty will not disappoint these descendants.
……
The Liu family of the Han Dynasty were only more eager to watch the drama unfold. Every dynasty has its own stories, some outrageous and some melodramatic!
Anyway, they've basically covered everything, so there's no point in gossiping about them. We can just pick out some useful bits and pieces to keep for future use.
Old Zhu thought of his pitiful descendants in his later years and sighed with worry. Man-made disasters can still be changed, but how can the predicament caused by natural disasters be broken?
......
The live stream is still ongoing:
"Now that my cousin has arrived, Li Yuan will make his appearance. Although it's not his turn yet, let me take this opportunity to introduce our founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"Li Yuan was born into nobility. His grandfather, Li Hu, was one of the Eight Pillar Generals of Western Wei. Some say that because he fought on the battlefield, he secured a Pillar General title for his descendants, giving them a new starting point."
"Li Yuan's mother was also quite remarkable; she was the daughter of the powerful father-in-law, Dugu Xin. In other words, Dugu Jialuo was Li Yuan's aunt."
"Dugu Xin may seem absent, but you have to think about it carefully. Three daughters, three empresses, and a grandson who was the last emperor and the founder of a dynasty—amazing!!!"
Dugu Xin: "......"
People of Wanchao: One empress in one dynasty, the throne rotates among the emperors, and in the end, they're all just relatives!
"In the seventeenth year of the Datong era of the Western Wei Dynasty (551), Li Hu died. The title that should have been inherited by his eldest son was instead inherited by Li Bing, the third son, due to the deaths of his two elder brothers."
"After that, Li Yuan's fate was similar to his father's: his older brother died, so he became the fourth son, and at the young age of seven, Li Yuan became the Duke of Tang."
"Oh~ So it seems that among Li Jiancheng's generation, the only ones who aren't good at inheriting the family's unique skills are his older and younger brothers!"
Li Jiancheng: Who can't you say that?!
Li Yuanji: Why did the script change when it came to me?!
Li Zhi: ...? ????...
"During Li Yuan's youth, Yang Jian rose to power, established the Sui Dynasty, and became emperor. Li Yuan then served as a Qianniu Beishen, a military officer in the imperial guards."
"Perhaps there was a familial relationship involved. He was repeatedly valued by Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo. Li Yuan's youth and middle age were not particularly special, and no one would have thought that an emperor would emerge from his family."
"At this time, Li Yuan was in his twenties and had his eldest son Li Jiancheng, and in his thirties he had Li Shimin. The two brothers had the same mother, but were about ten years apart in age."
"But no matter who you doubt, you won't doubt Li Yuan's ability to have children. The second princess is working hard for the emperor in the court, while the old man, the retired emperor, is working hard to have children in the harem."
"Looking at it this way, if we put everything else aside, isn't Li Yuan's life actually pretty good?"
Li Yuan: "..."
