第01章 兑了水的孟婆汤

Meng Po soup diluted with water

What a magnificent Tang Dynasty! Those two words shine brightly in the history books, representing the glory and ultimate prosperity of a golden age, the grandeur of all nations paying tribute, the brilliant poetry that has been passed down for thousands of years, and an insurmountable peak of Chinese civilization!

What a magnificent Tang Dynasty... yet it harbors so many unfulfilled regrets. It's the sudden decline after its peak, the unresolved conflict between Li Er (Emperor Taizong) and Li Yuan (Emperor Yuan), the tragedy of Crown Prince Li Chengqian being forced to rebel, the sorrow of Li Tai's demotion and subsequent death from depression, the injustice of the talented Li Ke being framed, the heart-wrenching pain left to Li Er by the early deaths of Empress Zhangsun, Chang Le, and Si Zi, the repeated reenactments of the Xuanwu Gate Incident in the succession of emperors, and the modern yearning to "return to the Tang Dynasty," hoping that the nation can once again stand at the pinnacle of the world!

Li Er: Damn aristocratic families, raise the price of salt!

Zhao Ziyi: I can make it!

Guard: Your Majesty, General Zhao has captured Jieli.

Li Er: Where are they?

Guard: Went to stroll on the grasslands

Zhao Ziyi: I want to take Chang Le.

Li Er: I'll beat you to death!

Changsun Wuji: Your Majesty, Tuyuhun wants a marriage alliance.

Zhao Ziyi: A marriage alliance? Your Majesty, I'll go and capture Murong Fuyun and see which princess he wants to marry.

Guard: Your Majesty, the Western Turks have been destroyed.

Li Er: Hou Junji is quite good; he destroyed the Western Turks so quickly.

The guards: Duke Dingguo traveled 4,000 li to circle around the rear, and went directly to the royal court to capture the Turkic Khan.

Zhao Ziyi: I've destroyed Japan.

Li Er: Oh

Zhao Ziyi: The entire clan was wiped out.

Zhao Ziyi: Old Li, hurry up and step down, I'll take you to the West for some fun!

Li Er: The West? Upon Chengqian's ascension to the throne, I will personally lead an expedition to the West.

多好的大唐啊！那是史书上熠熠生辉的两个字，代表着盛世的荣耀与极致的繁华，是万国来朝的磅礴气象，是诗歌璀璨传颂千万的文采风流，是华夏文明一座难以逾越的高峰！
多好的大唐啊......却藏着那么多的意难平。是巅峰之后的骤然滑落，是李老二跟李渊之间那解不开的心结，是太子李承乾被逼造反的悲凉，是李泰被贬后抑郁而终的唏嘘，是文武兼备李恪被阴谋陷害的冤屈，是长孙皇后，长乐，兕子的早逝留给李二的锥心之痛，是后代的皇位不断重演着玄武门继承制，也是现代人一曲“梦回大唐”的渴望，期盼着民族能再次屹立于世界之巅！
李二：该死的世家，提高盐价

长孙无忌：陛下，吐谷浑要和亲
赵子义：和亲？陛下，我去把慕容伏允抓过来，看看他想娶哪个公主。
侍卫：陛下，西突厥被灭了
李二：侯君集不错啊，这么快就灭了西突厥
侍卫：定国公辗转4000里绕后，直接到王庭把突厥可汗给擒了
赵子义：倭国我灭了
李二：哦
赵子义：灭族了
赵子义：老李赶紧退位，我带你去西方浪！
李二：西方？承乾即位，我要亲征西方
