I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 54: Grouping together to exclude others
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally harmonious atmosphere in the classroom suddenly turned cold.

Li Shimin's kind smile disappeared, and the smiles on the faces of Changsun Wuji and others behind him also disappeared.

half an hour.

Li Shimin said calmly:
"My three beloved ministers and I have just arrived. I don't know when we may have offended you. Do you have to be so cautious?"

"The Immortal Master is not here now, so if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Among the four students of the first generation, only Zhang Liang was not a member of the royal family, let alone the throne, so he did not intend to get involved in the affairs of these people, and only wanted to seek more benefits for the Han Dynasty.

But not getting involved doesn't mean he doesn't know what's going on.

Seeing that Liu Che looked thoughtful, Zhang Liang was silent and then pulled him to the outermost part of the crowd and asked in a low voice:

"Do you know why the First Emperor and Zhu Yuanzhang were so wary of this man?"

"Just now I saw you chatting with Emperor Yingzong of Ming. Did you hear what happened?"

Liu Che nodded slightly and also lowered his voice and said:

"I heard from Emperor Yingzong of Ming that Li Shimin is a bit like Zhu Yuanzhang, both of them are emperors on horseback. He is considered half a founding emperor, and he fought for most of the country for his father Li Yuan. But after the conquest, he was not the crown prince, he was just the King of Qin."

"Because of the dispute over the throne, Li Shimin chose to strike first and led his old troops to mutiny at the palace gate. He only used dozens of people to kill his two brothers, and then went straight into his father's palace, killed his brother and usurped the throne, allowing his father to be the emperor for many years."

"Although capable emperors are all cruel, it is rare to see one so cruel that he dares to kill anyone and do anything..."

"When Emperor Yingzong of Ming said this, the First Emperor also listened. I guess this is why everyone dislikes him."

Although the poem "One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers" had not yet appeared, as emperors, Ying Zheng and Liu Che both understood the principle that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits.

There is nothing wrong with being cruel. On the contrary, being an emperor requires being cruel.

But at the same time, if a guy who is so cruel that he doesn't care about his relatives appears among a group of cruel people, it is normal for everyone to exclude him.

Who doesn’t worry about being cheated?

The rewards for the exam are so generous. If Li Shimin knew about it so easily, wouldn't that mean there would be four more people grabbing the prize?
The main problem is that Li Shimin brought too many people with him!
Today, there is only one Ying Zheng in the Qin Dynasty, and there are Zhang Liang and Liu Che in the Han Dynasty. Originally, the Zhu family had the most people, but Zhu Qizhen was a useless waste after all, and no one took him seriously, so in fact, there were only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao who were considered people in the Ming Dynasty.

Ying Zheng had nothing to say. After all, it was a fact that the Qin Dynasty perished in the second generation. There were only two emperors, so it was normal that he had few family members.

The number of people in the Qin, Han and Ming dynasties was equal, which is reasonable.

As a result, now that Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has arrived, the five people refuse to say anything and do not pay any price, but just want to directly ask for information?
What a big face!

You have to know that when Ying Zheng and Zhang Liang wanted to exchange papermaking technology from Zhu Yuanzhang, they had promised to share the goods after the points were exchanged. Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to get something and promised to exchange it with Ming Dynasty technology. This was a normal exchange of interests.

Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang and others would take the initiative to suggest that Ying Zheng kill Zhao Gao and tell him about Qin II. Although there was no deliberate exchange of intelligence, it was revealed after they got to know each other, which was regarded as a way of showing goodwill to the First Emperor and gradually making friends with him.

When it comes to interpersonal relationships, there's often no need to talk about them; everyone just knows it.

No matter what the connection between Ying Zheng and Zhang Liang was, in the eyes of the former, it had not happened yet and was not a big deal; the latter also felt that many years had passed and the matter was over, so there was no need to dwell on it. So the two enemies reconciled strangely and tacitly.

The four people who initially faced this strange thing called system space naturally had an inseparable alliance relationship - all the information that the later ones knew was explored by them in the front, and they invested the most time and energy.

Correspondingly, why did Li Shimin and others think that this was what they deserved?

Telling is a favor, not telling is a duty! "Well, ahem."

After a long silence, Zhu Biao cleared his throat.

Everyone focused their attention on him at the same time.

Zhu Biao was brought up by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he naturally knew why his father was so mean to Li Shimin, but he felt that there was no need to make things so awkward.

"Student Li Shimin, I think you may have some misunderstandings."

He smiled at the five people from the Tang Dynasty, and then saw their expressions suddenly change.

Because he actually called the Emperor by his full name!
Calling an emperor by his full name was considered extremely disrespectful in any dynasty and on any occasion. The four people of Li Tang, who had just arrived and were directly faced with a baseline test, obviously did not understand the rules and could not adapt.

But Zhu Biao did not wait for any of them to start a fight, and continued:

"There were only four students who came in at first: me, my father, Ying Zheng, and Zhang Liang. The Han Wu Emperor Liu Che and Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen who were next to us came in later."

"Among them, Liu Che was the emperor of the Han Dynasty and was considered a junior of Zhang Liang."

"And Zhu Qizhen is my father's great-great-grandson, and the younger generation of both father and son."

"It is only natural for the four of us to inform the two of them of the whole story about this place. We have no such responsibility towards you."

"It's said that the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu, Li Shimin, you are on par with the first two. We all recognize your ability, but as the class monitor, I must tell you that you are not ordinary people. Everyone's time is very tight. If there is nothing worthwhile that can be exchanged, we have the right to keep it. Sometimes, intelligence clues are hundreds or thousands of times more valuable than gold and silver, aren't they?"

Among the four people of the Tang Dynasty.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked solemnly at the faces of the people in front of them.

Cheng Yaojin put away his playful look and looked at these people, his eyes rolling around, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Jing's face was stern, and the bright armor he wore naturally added a bit of murderous blood in him. After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Li Jing immediately wanted to step forward to argue for his own emperor, but was stopped by Li Shimin with a light hand.

Suddenly, Li Shimin laughed.

"I see……"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"If you need anything, just ask. As long as it's not too difficult for me, I will do my best to help you."

"Do you want money, food, soldiers, or horses? I don't know what you can and can't bring with you."

The First Emperor Ying Zheng, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly laughed.

He sneered, stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on his shoulders, and walked in front of Li Shimin.

With a height of nearly two meters, he is extremely oppressive to everyone.

Ying Zheng stared at Li Shimin, and raised the corner of his mouth:
"I need to pacify the Baiyue in the south and defeat the Xiongnu in the north. I need the people of the six kingdoms to return to the Qin Empire. I need no more sounds of war on the land. I also want the Qin Empire to prosper forever."

"I wonder if you, Emperor Taizong of Tang, can do your best to do this?"
