Chapter 55 Confrontation
As soon as Ying Zheng said this, the expressions on everyone's faces were brilliant.

Needless to say, Li Shimin and the other five members of the Tang Dynasty group had uglier faces than a toilet. The more impulsive and reckless generals, such as Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing, could not even resist the urge to roll up their sleeves and fight.

The other few students of the first generation, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son, and Zhang Liang, also looked at the First Emperor with rather strange eyes.

Ying Zheng was doing great things silently and rarely opened his mouth. If he opened his mouth, he would tear off a piece of Li Shimin's flesh!

As for Liu Che and Zhu Qizhen, they were both latecomers of the second batch and had family relations with the first generation of students, so they naturally stood on their side.

Even if they had different opinions on Li Shimin, they could not offend their elders on the spot, because the First Emperor's position was obviously the common position of the first four students.

So they both shut up and waited quietly for this farce to end.

half an hour.

Li Shimin smiled indifferently and said:
"The First Emperor is joking. The Qin Dynasty was the first dynasty to unify the world. The difficulties you have encountered are unlikely to be solved by many emperors in later generations."

"Speaking of which, the Qin and Sui dynasties are quite similar. Both unified during a chaotic era, and both perished in the second generation. The throne of the eldest son was taken away by the youngest son."

"As for me, it would be better if you put forward some practical requirements. Otherwise, if it is really as you just said, I don't believe that anyone here can do it."

"Let's be honest, don't you think?"

Ying Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Liang narrowed their eyes at the same time.

No matter what their status and position were in their own dynasties, no one could remain calm when faced with the pressure of the First Emperor for the first time.

He is nearly two meters tall, with broad and majestic shoulders, a distant look behind the crown, and the Taia sword that he carries with him everywhere in the world. More importantly, he is the greatest emperor of all time, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, who swept across the six kingdoms with thunder and decisiveness.

It's impossible for anyone to say that it's not stressful being targeted by him.

But now Li Shimin was able to bargain so calmly, without even a drop of sweat on his head.

Apart from anything else, he is definitely very brave.

"I don't know what dynasty the Sui Dynasty was, but what I just said was not a joke."

Ying Zheng glanced at him, his expression indifferent:

"The items they provided, as well as the items I will receive in the future, will help me achieve those things."

"Okay, the time is almost up, Li Shimin...right? Go back and think about what you can use to exchange for information, and tell me and other students in the next class."

Except for Datang and the others, everyone else turned around and looked at the clock on the wall.

Although we couldn't understand what was written on it, after a few classes, we had figured out the pattern: whenever the longest needle of that thing moved to the upper position, it meant the get out of class was over.

At this moment, the pointer was only a fraction away from the scale directly above and was about to turn over.

Zhu Biao slapped his thigh:
"No, the teacher said before that there should be two days of rest after every five days of classes. The next time we meet will be in three days!"

"Everyone, please be prepared. If you have any points, remember to keep them..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone heard the broadcast sound at the same time.

get out of class has ended.

…………

Tang Dynasty, the ninth year of Zhenguan, spring.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Shimin felt that he was just distracted for a moment, and the world in front of him changed from the strange and empty room before back to its original appearance.

He wondered if he had fainted from a severe headache and had a strange dream.

But when he looked closely, he saw Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who were discussing with him earlier, both lying on the carpet in the hall. They sat up and looked at each other, with doubtful expressions in their eyes. Seeing them like this, Li Shimin knew -

What just happened was definitely not a dream, or rather, it is possible that the three of them had the same dream!

The probability of the latter is a hundred times lower than dreaming.

"My dear ministers..."

Li Shimin calmed down and asked softly:
"Do you remember what just happened?"

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other. The two old friends confirmed from each other's eyes that they had both encountered the same thing, and that His Majesty had also encountered it.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji, the emperor's brother-in-law, gave Fang Xuanling a reassuring look and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, Xuanling and I just entered a magical place. You and the pharmacist were there. We also talked to the First Emperor Ying Zheng, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che and others. We stayed in there for about half an hour."

"If this is what you want to ask, I can assure you that we have all encountered this."

Li Shimin was silent.

After a long time, he rubbed his forehead, as if he remembered something, and was suddenly startled.

"My head... doesn't hurt anymore."

His Majesty Li Er frowned and asked:

"The three of us should have fainted just now. How come no one noticed us for half an hour? Why is there no one in this hall?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Changsun Wuji on the left and Li Shimin on the right, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He cupped his hands and replied:

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that when you summoned the ministers to discuss important matters of the court, you never allowed the palace maids to be present and dismissed them from the beginning."

"Besides, we often discuss matters for an entire afternoon, so this little time won't be enough to make them suspicious and come in."

Li Shimin suddenly realized and waved his hands:

"Oh, my head hurts, so many things just go in one ear and out the other. I forget everything!"

"But speaking of which, Wuji, Xuanling, what do you think of what happened just now?"

“Are the Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Zhang Liang that I met there real or fake?”

It is actually difficult for Fang Xuanling to talk about this matter.

Although everyone is a former official of Tian Ce, as long as there are more than two people gathered together, there will inevitably be differences in closeness and distance.

In the eyes of others, Fang Xuanling was already very close to the Emperor, but among the three people in Ganlu Palace, it was obvious that the emperor's uncle Changsun Wuji was closer to Li Shimin.

He turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji, who immediately understood what he meant.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to call Zhijie into the palace."

After a moment of silence, Changsun Wuji said slowly:
"Before, besides the three of us, Zhijie and Yaoshi were also there. Yaoshi is now at the frontier fighting. Even if I write a letter, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a long time. Zhijie is in Chang'an, so it's very convenient."

"If he goes there, I think it will be a great thing for us, regardless of whether there is anything mysterious about this place."

"Except for two days of rest, we can see the pharmacist every day at noon for five days. This way, if there is any accident on the Tuyuhun side, the imperial court can know it in time, which is much faster than the 800-mile express!"

“Just this alone makes everything worth it!”
