I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 90 The Tang Dynasty is rising, and the newcomer Li Longji is selected!

Tang Dynasty, the ninth year of Zhenguan.

Empress Changsun woke up quietly on the couch in Lizheng Hall.

When she opened her eyes, she saw several heads leaning over to her.

They are Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and Zhangsun Wuji.

"Gao Ming, why are you here..."

Gao Ming is Li Chengqian's courtesy name, and they basically call their child by this name on a daily basis.

Empress Changsun had a lot to say after waking up, but when she saw Li Chengqian beside the bed, she swallowed them all back.

She looked at Li Shimin with a hint of warning in her eyes - this was something that rarely happened. They had been a couple in harmony and supported each other for so many years, and Empress Changsun rarely showed Li Shimin a bad look. But since it was related to her son's future, she had to be more vigilant.

Li Shimin quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Guanyin, you made quite a noise when you fainted, and Gao Ming heard about it. The child was concerned about you, so he came here to watch over you until you woke up."

"This is the child's filial piety, why don't you praise him?"

When Empress Chang Sun heard that Li Chengqian had come on his own, her expression improved a lot.

She originally thought that her husband had transferred his anger to the sixteen-year-old child after hearing what was said in the tutoring class, and had specifically called Li Chengqian to scold him.

After a pause, Empress Changsun looked at her eldest son who was looking worried.

Li Chengqian is sixteen this year. His face still looks like a teenager, but he is already quite tall. However, he is still growing so he is quite thin. He is not like his father Li Shimin, who is a big and strong general. He inherited the advantages of Empress Changsun and Li Shimin. His eyebrows and eyes are beautiful but not feminine. His eyes are dark and bright. You can tell he is a smart child at a glance.

Adults like children who are good-looking and smart, and Li Chengqian has both. Therefore, not only did his parents have high expectations for him, but even his name was given by his grandfather Li Yuan. The name of the Chengqian Hall in the Taiji Palace was enough to show how much he was spoiled since childhood.

But Empress Changsun looked at her eldest son, whom she had always placed high hopes on, with a somewhat dim look in her eyes.

If he had not been told what happened in the future, who would have thought that Li Chengqian, who was now smart, intelligent and filial, would become like that?
Maybe… this is also related to my untimely death?
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, the two people who knew the situation, and then looked at Li Chengqian, and couldn't help but sigh.

She made up her mind and finally spoke.

"Gao Ming, I want to tell you something."

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Li II and Zhang Sun Wuji beside them became nervous instantly!

Li Shimin immediately interrupted:
"No, Guanyin, we still need to discuss this matter slowly. If we tell Gao Ming too early, the consequences may be even more serious!"

Empress Changsun's features were unusually stern, completely different from her usual self.

At this moment, she was no longer the usual queen who was the mother of the country, nor was she the virtuous wife who advised her husband, the emperor.

She is a mother, a mother who has to consider her children.

"Gao Ming is already sixteen years old. We always treat him as a child, but he married the Crown Princess in the first month of this year. After he gets married, he will start a career. Do you still treat him as a child?"

"Erlang, if you continue to be like this, it's no wonder he became like that after I died!"

Empress Changsun spoke harshly, ignoring the stunned expressions of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji. She just stared at the bewildered Li Chengqian and softened her tone before speaking:
"Gao Ming, I want to ask you, if I were to pass away next year, what would you do?"

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded.

He stared at his mother blankly. Seeing that she was not joking, she was very serious, as if she was entrusting her son with a will. After being stunned for a while, he fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed desperately:

"Don't talk nonsense, mother. You should live a long life!"

"Did the people at the Imperial Hospital say something? Did they diagnose that your fainting was caused by a disease that is difficult to cure?"

"I'll send someone out to get a doctor right away... the best doctor. Isn't that great doctor Sun Simiao? Even if he's elusive, we can still find him. I'll go find him right away, right away!"

After Li Chengqian kowtowed, he got up and crawled out of the Lizheng Hall.

But a huge hand like an iron clamp blocked his way, grabbing his arm and squeezing it tightly, so that he could not move at all.

The boy turned around and saw that it was his father who was stopping him, and his eyes immediately turned bloodshot and red.

There is no doubt that compared with most emperors, Li Shimin was a good father. He loved all the children born to Empress Zhangsun very much, but Li Chengqian was the most special one because he was the crown prince.

Since birth, Li Shimin has trained him as his successor. Whether he was the prince of Qin or the crown prince of Tang, Li Chengqian has undoubtedly received the most elite education. Correspondingly, Li Chengqian's respect for his father is greater than his admiration.

Normally, he would never dare to raise his voice to his father, but now that his father was trying to stop him from going to the doctor, he got angry and shouted:
"Your Majesty, please let me go. I have to go find a doctor for my mother!"

The name is quite interesting.

The emperor's biological father is called "Your Majesty", while the empress mother is called "A Niang". The closeness of their relationship is obvious just by listening.

However, Li Shimin had no intention of backing down. He grabbed Li Chengqian with his iron-like hands. The latter tried to pull him several times but failed, and he was shaking with anger.

"Gao Ming, she is not only your mother, but also my wife."

Li Shimin's voice was deep, and he looked directly into Li Chengqian's eyes:

"No one in this world wants to save her more than I do, and you are no exception."

"Your mother is right. You are already sixteen years old and have a family and a career. That's why she chose to tell you this. But you didn't even have the courage to listen to the end and wanted to run away. How can she feel at ease?"

"If you want to leave again, I will not stop you, because you are leaving not out of filial piety, but because you are a coward who dares not face it!"

"A coward is not worthy of being the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the future emperor!"

Although he was very strict with the prince, he rarely scolded him so directly in the past.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a long time after being scolded, and then he returned to his mother's bedside dejectedly and knelt down again, whispering:
"Mother, please tell me, I can bear it."

Empress Chang Sun leaned against the head of the bed, slightly closed her eyes, and said:
"I just want to ask you one thing first—"

"Gao Ming, are you a homosexual now? Tell the truth."

This was such a huge turn of events that Li Chengqian was completely unable to react.

He knelt on the ground, so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. After a long while, he angrily said:

"Who spread the rumor? I'm a clean kid and have never touched anything like that!"

"Besides, my child already has a crown princess, and you see her all the time. If this is true, wouldn't the crown princess tell you?"

"What nonsense... what nonsense!"

Li Chengqian's anger rose like a ladder, and his emotional logic was quite smooth, without any jamming, and did not seem fake.

The other three people present were all shrewd people. They had seen more people in their lives than Li Chengqian had eaten rice. How could they not see that he was telling the truth?

Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's fine if it doesn't, it's fine if it doesn't."

She looked at her son kneeling on the ground, and saw that his face was red with anger, and smiled:

"Then let me ask you again—"

"If I really only have one year to live, and I will die around next summer, after I die, will you disobey your father and go against him?" "Will you dress up in strange clothes, pretend to be a Turk, and play around in the East Palace, stop studying hard, start keeping male favorites, and ignore the principle that a son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall, and ride a horse recklessly, breaking your leg?"

The more Li Chengqian listened, the more he felt that something was not right.

It was ridiculous and outrageous enough that his mother asked him for no apparent reason whether he was gay. Now she was talking about this again, as if... as if she knew what would happen next.

He frowned and was silent for a long time before asking:
"Mother, you said this, do you know something?"

"I have never done such absurd things. I have behaved well in front of you and in the court. But what you said today seemed like doubt, but in fact, every word was very certain, as if you had witnessed what would happen in the future."

"Before you wanted to tell me this, His Majesty and the others didn't want you to tell them. The reason was that they didn't want me to know it too early."

"What do you know?"

There was silence in the Lizheng Hall.

a long time.

Li Shimin sighed and said:
"You are really smart..."

"Perhaps if we delay it a little longer, even if your mother doesn't tell you, you will be able to guess some of it yourself. In this case, I will tell you straight, Gao Ming, I had a strange encounter with your uncle, and I know what will happen to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and I also know what you will do in the future."

"As your mother just said, the things she asked you about are all things that will happen after she passes away."

"Originally, I thought I would deal with the other problem first before telling you about it, but your mother obviously didn't want to. She wanted to tell you first."

"Gao Ming, tell your mother in front of her, will you do what you just said?"

Empress Changsun did not say anything, but her eyes, which were almost cast in the same mold as her son's, kept staring at Li Chengqian. Her dark pupils never blinked, as if they could see through people.

Li Chengqian's brain was no longer able to think.

He liked men's sex, dressed in strange clothes like the Turks, and broke his leg while riding a horse...

He couldn't believe that he could do the things his mother had just said.

But if these things are based on the premise that my mother dies suddenly next year, then it seems that nothing is impossible.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes, then slowly and solemnly knelt down, bowing deeply to his mother on the couch:
"I swear to you, mother, that I will never do such a thing in my life, whether you are here or not."

"If you break this oath, I, Li Chengqian, will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death, and I will never be able to be reborn!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

[Ding! Congratulations to Li Shimin for successfully changing the course of history and getting a chance to select a person. ]

[You can enter the lucky draw interface. The lucky draw includes emperors and generals of the Tang Dynasty. Your lucky draw result will be completely random.]

A mechanical reminder sounded in Li Shimin's ears, causing his whole body to tremble violently!
He clenched his fists impatiently and looked at Changsun Wuji and others, but they did not react at all, as if they had not heard him at all.

"I have been given a chance to draw a lottery and pick one person from among the emperors and generals of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin whispered:

"Do you think we should smoke now? Or should we take a bath and burn incense first?"

"Will you appear more respectful if you wash yourself carefully?"

Everyone was stunned.

Empress Chang Sun frowned and said:
"Why can Ji Lang suddenly beat someone? What happened?"

Apart from Li Chengqian who only knew half of the story and was completely confused, the brothers and sisters of the Changsun family also did not understand.

Li Shimin explained:

"It was that damn system that prompted me to say that I had changed the course of history, and I was given a chance to draw a prize."

"I think that Gao Ming may have just sworn a solemn oath and made up his mind, which changed the future."

Zhang Sun Wuji said thoughtfully:

"So, changing history is not only good for our Tang Dynasty, but it can also allow new people to come in and allow people in the tutoring class to get more information?"

"That makes sense..."

"Those people in the class have no relationship with us, and they even rejected us because there are more people in the Tang Dynasty. But this time when we wanted to change the history of the Tang Dynasty, they were very active and enthusiastic, and even came up with such a bad idea."

"It will be of great benefit to new people to come in."

Empress Chang Sun suggested:
"Erlang, have some confidence in your own luck. You have survived so many life-and-death situations on the battlefield. Why do you still need to bathe and burn incense to pray for rain? We are lucky today. After I told Gao Ming about it, he really decided to change. Now that we are lucky, just choose."

Li Shimin looked at his son's puzzled face and agreed with him.

He had really wanted to give the girl from the Wu family a try by marrying Li Chengqian. Fortunately, his wife was very capable and told her son about the matter first, otherwise, things might have been really bad.

That girl sounds very capable, but Li Chengqian is so stubborn now... forget it.

"Okay, I'll try it now!"

Li Shimin closed his eyes and followed the guidance to sink his consciousness into the lottery interface.

There was a flash of gold in his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his expression was a little dazed.

Zhangsun Wuji and Empress Zhangsun looked over curiously, and the brother and sister said in unison:

"Who did you pick?"

Li Shimin's mouth twitched:

"I don't know him. I've never heard them mention him. His name is Tang Xuanzong Li Longji."

In fact, when he was drawing the lottery just now, he was secretly looking forward to it, wondering if he could draw Wu Zetian. After all, this was the only female emperor in history who came from the Tang Dynasty, and her experience in coming to the throne was so ridiculous. It was normal for Li Shimin to be a little curious about her.

If I can be selected and meet this person in the tutoring class, it can also provide some direction on how to deal with the girl from the Wu family now.

Empress Changsun obviously had the same idea as her husband.

Hearing this, she nodded slightly disappointedly:
"No matter what, at least he is the emperor after Wu Zetian, and he is one of our family members, so it's not bad."

"By the way - what are you going to do with the girl from the Wu family?"

Li Shimin was a little hesitant and couldn't think of any better way for a while.

Empress Chang Sun thought for a moment and said:
"Since this girl is talented and threatening, why not call her into the palace and let her be my female historian and official by my side? What do you think, Erlang?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he clapped his thigh and cheered:

"Very good, very good! I will listen to Guanyin's maid and pass on the order to have her enter the palace as a female official!"
