I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 82 Li Shimin's Sharp Explosion
in the office.

Song Shen was sitting in his chair, reading some materials and slacking off, when he suddenly heard a very uniform roar coming from the classroom outside.

In fact, Song Shen usually has a complicated attitude towards these students.

He knew that these students were replicas of real emperors and generals in history. Although they were not the real people, they had the same experiences, memories, joys, sorrows, anger and happiness as those people. Of course, they would have frictions and small thoughts with each other like real people. This can be seen from the fact that Zhu Qizhen was beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang when he came in.

Therefore, even though Song Shen didn't know what they usually did outside of class, he still tried to treat them as real people. When students whispered and made small movements in class, they could be seen clearly by the teacher when standing on the podium. He just didn't interfere too much because of this complicated mentality.

But now...

It is indeed rare that everyone is shouting the same sentence.

Song Shen looked at the wall clock and saw that there were still five minutes left. After thinking for a while, he stood up, pushed open the office door and walked to the podium.

Since he came out, the group of students who were noisy just now shut up.

Song Shen looked at them and asked:
"What happened just now?"

No one said a word.

He pointed directly at Zhu Biao:

"Squad leader, you go ahead."

Zhu Biao didn't expect that he would be the first one to be called, and sweat almost broke out on his forehead.

He looked back at his father for help, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang mouthing a word, he had something in mind and felt a little relieved. Then he stood up and bowed to Song Shen:

"Sir, it is like this..."

"Just now, classmate Li Shimin was chatting with my father, and as they were chatting, they started discussing one thing, which was how to change history to the greatest extent if they could only do one thing in the ninth year of Zhenguan."

"My father said he wanted to marry Wu Zetian, who was 11 or 12 years old, to Li Chengqian. I thought this was a bit immoral. Then Li Shimin didn't know what happened later, so he wanted to ask, so everyone started arguing."

"Since you are out, sir, I would like to ask you, what do you think?"

Song Shen: ...

Song Shen felt like a row of crows with ellipsis flying over his head.

What the fuck is all this?

Only Zhu Yuanzhang could come up with such an unethical idea as to marry Wu Zetian to Li Chengqian ahead of time.

It’s so explosive!

The corners of his mouth twitched:
"What do I think? I think your idea is correct. Your father is really wicked."

"I remember that Li Chengqian later became lame and had difficulty walking. His lame leg caused him to become psychologically distorted, and he gradually changed from a normal prince to a weird and perverse psychopath. The dignified prince went to learn how to dress like a Hu and ride and shoot, and dressed like a Turk every day. He also played with a male concubine, and when the male concubine was chopped off by Li Shimin, he wished he could die with him."

"For a man like this, let alone Wu Zetian, it would be very immoral for any girl to marry him. Isn't this like being a gay wife?"

"Of course, I'm not discriminating against him. According to Li Shimin's teaching method, I think it's understandable that the eldest and second sons in his family are both crazier than the other. Even Li Chengqian grew up to be like that, I think the blame lies with Li Shimin."

"Then again, if you want to talk about how to change history to the greatest extent in the ninth year of Zhenguan, why did you think of starting with Wu Zetian?"

"She hasn't done anything yet. It's still decades before she ascends the throne. She wasn't born wanting to be an empress. To be fair, not to mention what happened after she became an emperor, Wu Zetian was able to reach the position of empress because she had the skills, brains and abilities, but also because she would have died miserably if she hadn't climbed up."

"In the ninth year of Zhenguan, shouldn't we first check whether Li Chengqian's leg is lame and what's wrong with Empress Changsun's health? We should make sure these two people don't become disabled or die, otherwise there will be no place for Wu Zetian in the future. If Empress Changsun didn't die, Li Shimin wouldn't have summoned a little girl into the palace two years later, right? If Li Chengqian didn't become disabled, would it be Li Zhi's turn? Then there would be no place for Wu Zetian!"

Song Shen felt that the way these people thought was going on was simply incomprehensible.

Of course, it may also be because they have not read many time-travel novels and have not seen the outrageous operations of the time travelers in the books, so they did not think of starting from these two aspects, which is understandable.

To be honest, although Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal to marry Wu Zetian to Li Chengqian was a very bold move, it could indeed change history to a certain extent.

But here comes the problem——

Song Shen's expression was a bit hard to describe:

"And, Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, since she was able to hook up with Li Zhi when she was in the temple, why do you think she wouldn't be interested in her brother-in-law after she married Li Chengqian? According to the style of the old Li family, this is not a very strange thing, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang:......

Yes.

Makes sense.

When Wu Zetian was in Li Shimin's harem, she dared to flirt with the then Crown Prince Li Zhi. There was no reason why she couldn't flirt with her brother-in-law Li Zhi in the Eastern Palace.

He murmured quietly:
"It's Dirty Tang indeed... Really dirty."

Li Shimin had already been overwhelmed by the huge amount of information and was still in the stage of reshaping his worldview. When he heard Zhu Yuanzhang actually utter such a curse, he could not help but be outraged.

He glared at Zhu Yuanzhang:

"What do you mean? Say it again?!"

When Li Er got angry, only Empress Zhangsun could control him. If Zhu Yuanzhang continued to confront him forcefully, a classroom boxing championship would be inevitable.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that he had just said bad things in front of others, so he didn't care too much at this time. He just pouted and sat back in his seat.

There was a bit of silence in the classroom for a moment.

Song Shen sighed:

"The order of my lectures has been disrupted. I didn't follow the timeline. After talking about the history of currency, I jumped to the Industrial Revolution. I haven't systematically introduced the rise and fall of dynasties. If you only listen to one person's opinion, it is inevitable that you will have a biased understanding. So next time if you have such questions, please discuss them peacefully. If you can't come up with an answer, you can ask me. I am your teacher, and teachers are there to ask questions. Do you understand?"

This is the first time he has expressed his views on the question of "how to change history to the greatest extent possible."

Everyone was a little embarrassed about Li Shimin's matter just now, but after Song Shen said this, no one cared about Erfeng who was alone in reshaping her worldview.

From Ying Zheng to Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone was excited!

They all agreed with what Song Shen said - if you only listen to one person's opinion, you will inevitably have a biased understanding.

Although the Ming Dynasty, which was the latest, could obtain a lot of information, Zhu Yuanzhang's poor mouth and brain circuits could easily cause trouble. It was a question whether he could remain rational at that time, let alone discuss solutions with each other.

Song Shen is everyone's teacher, recognized by everyone as fair, and he can offer novel suggestions and opinions from many angles. Judging from everyone's personal experience during this period of time, his casual remarks may change many things.

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, and he was about to ask himself about something he had been hesitating about whether to do recently.

But before he could finish his words, the bell for the end of get out of class rang in the classroom.

Everyone was once again transferred out of the system space in unison.

…………

Tang Dynasty, the ninth year of Zhenguan, spring.

Ganlu Temple.

Empress Changsun sat on one side, next to Li Shimin, who was lying unconscious on the table. She was copying books calmly, trying to keep herself busy and less anxious.

Below them were three important officials of the imperial court, who were lying on the table with their eyes closed, just like the emperor - Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling.

Suddenly, Empress Changsun felt some movement around her. Turning her head, she saw that Li Shimin had slowly stood up from the table, and the three people below had also woken up.

"Erlang, how is this time? Have you heard any news?"

Empress Changsun anxiously pulled her husband's arm and asked.

She was very gentle most of the time and would not ask questions that she shouldn't ask, but the future that Li Shimin described last time was really hard for her to accept, so even someone as gentle and virtuous as Empress Changsun couldn't help but become anxious.

Previously, she had to suppress her anxiety in order to appease Li Shimin. Now that she has finally waited for possible new news, how can she not be anxious!

But unexpectedly——

After waking up this time, Li Shimin was not excited as he had heard the news, nor did he cry as if his wife had died like last time.

His face was dull, and he looked like a fool who had lost his soul.

Empress Changsun put away her anxiety and waved in front of him with some worry:
"Jirang, Jiro? What's wrong with you?"

no response.

She had no choice but to look at the three people below and use her eyes to ask her brother what had happened.

As a result, the three people below had the same expression as Li Shimin, with doubts about life written all over their faces and eyes, as if they had heard something incredible.

Even Changsun Wuji, who was always calm and composed and ready to practice Tai Chi at any time, had a blank look in his eyes and couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Empress Changsun finally became a little anxious.

She pulled Li Shimin and shook him vigorously for a few times:

"Erlang, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. We are husband and wife, so why can't you tell me?"

Li Shimin's brain seemed to be shaken evenly, and he finally regained consciousness. He looked at his wife like a wandering soul.

He shook his head with great difficulty, his face twitching slightly, as if he wanted to smile to comfort her, but he couldn't smile at all.

"Nothing...nothing..."

"I have heard a lot of news, but I think it would be better to ask the doctor to wait outside first and then tell you."

Hearing this, Empress Chang Sun's expression became more serious:
"Why, did Cheng Qian do something outrageous? Are you afraid that I will be scared? Erlang, I thought you knew that I am not an ordinary weak woman."

The smile on Li Shimin's face was uglier than crying:

"It's not Cheng Qian... No, it's not just Cheng Qian."

"This matter has something to do with me, you, Cheng Qian and Zhi Nu. Not only that, but a woman is also involved."

"Please believe me for once, seriously. If you really don't believe me, ask Wuji and the others."

Empress Chang Sun looked suspiciously towards the center of the hall, where the three ministers who had just woken up were sitting below.

Her eyes met her brother Changsun Wuji's.

The latter had a smile on his face that was exactly the same as Li Shimin's, uglier than crying:

"Sister, just listen to His Majesty. If you don't call the imperial physician, I won't be able to rest assured. If we weren't in a dream just now, I would have fainted in there."

……Fine.

Empress Chang Sun finally stopped asking questions and instead called the palace maids in and asked them to tell the imperial physician to wait outside the palace. After a while of busy work, everything was finally ready.

Everything was ready and a quarter of a second passed.

She looked at Li Shimin, and her usually gentle voice lowered unusually:
"What do you want to say, Erlang, after all this commotion?"

Li Shimin sorted out his thoughts, opened his mouth several times, and finally sighed:

"I am sorry for you...I have ruined the child!!!"

Seeing that he was about to start crying again, Empress Changsun stretched out two fingers, pressed them on the left and right corners of Li Shimin's eyes, and directly blocked his tear ducts.

She said calmly:

"Cry after you finish talking."

This time, Empress Changsun was particularly cold and ruthless - mainly because she was a little impatient with her husband's long lead-in time. This wasn't the right way to keep people on suspense, right?

After this move by her, the emotions that Li Shimin had just built up became incoherent.

"That's right, that's right... Never mind, I can't say it, it's embarrassing, you let Wuji say it!"

Li Shimin really couldn't say it, so he could only throw the question to his brother-in-law.

Changsun Wuji was stared at by his sister with a deathly gaze. He knew very well that his sister was really about to lose her temper this time. He did not dare to play Tai Chi as usual, so he spoke honestly and concisely.

"Regarding His Royal Highness, it is said that one of his legs is disabled and he has difficulty walking. You should have passed away by then, and Your Majesty did not pay attention to his problem, so His Royal Highness's behavior became abnormal. Not only did he begin to imitate the Turkic people in wearing Hu clothing and riding and shooting, he also kept male favorites in the East Palace. In the end, probably because he was too absurd, he was deposed as the crown prince."

"Secondly, regarding His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, he seems to be the new crown prince after the Crown Prince was deposed."

"After you passed away, His Majesty summoned a girl from the family of Yingguogong Wu Shigui into the palace, but he didn't seem to favor her too much. But when His Majesty was seriously ill, the girl from the Wu family got involved with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, who had become the crown prince. After His Majesty passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne, she returned to the harem and even...even became the emperor in the end."

There was deathly silence in the Ganlu Palace.

Empress Chang Sun seemed not to have heard clearly, and tilted her ear to the side and asked:
"Who did you just say became the emperor?"

"Are you talking about Zhinu?"

Changsun Wuji wiped his face and did not answer.

Li Shimin also felt that he had no face to face his wife, so he could only cover his face with his hands and whispered:
"Zhi Nu became the emperor, but later, the girl from the Wu family also became the emperor."

"She became the empress."

After a long while, there was no movement nearby. Li Shimin saw through his fingers that the expressions of the three people below were gradually becoming terrified. He realized that something was wrong and quickly turned his head to look.

Then he let out a roar even sharper than that of Empress Ma:
"Someone! Someone! Call the imperial physician! The queen has fainted!!!"

"You bunch of damned dog slaves, where are the people?!"
