Haicheng, Chongshan District.
Amidst the chirping of cicadas in early summer, Chu Zhen drove a dilapidated second-hand van home, carrying a large number of books that he had purchased.
After driving the car into his yard where various flowers and plants were planted, Chu Zhen parked the car, jumped out of the car and began to move the books he had spent 15,000 yuan on, one by one. Go back to your four-story building.
It is said to be a small building, but it actually covers an area of more than 300 square meters. It includes a balcony, a front yard and a roof, with a total usable area of 2500+ square meters. In Haicheng, where land is at a premium, it can be said to be a top-notch mansion.
The only regret is that this is a village in the city.
What's even more regrettable is that to get to the city center from here, you have to walk one kilometer first, then take the bus. It takes six stops to get to the subway entrance, and it takes another half an hour to get to the city center.
Chu Zhen was quite satisfied.
In his junior year, he used his parents' inheritance and the videos he made in college to get into the stock market and blockchain - buying funds and coins. With the money, he designed and built a four-story building by himself.
However, he greatly underestimated the cost of building and renovating the building. As a result, all his millions were spent. He didn't even have money to buy a car, so he could only buy a van to carry goods.
For ordinary living expenses, we can only rely on——
"Start broadcast!!"
After finishing cleaning up, Chu Zhen sat by the window on the second floor, slapped the 9.9 black catalpa wood Jingtang ruler bought by PDD, and shouted in a clear voice:
"There are quite a few spectators here today..."
Chu Zhen made some opening remarks.
That's right, the first, second, and third floors of his luxurious four-story building were originally intended to be used as a book bar, so that he could fulfill his dream of being a librarian and live a leisurely life with a yard of several thousand square meters of wasteland.
But the village he lives in is really remote. The tenants in the village are all migrant workers in factories, and they don't have the petty bourgeoisie of people in the city. His so-called book bar's half-year turnover is less than 3,000 yuan.
I was so sorry that I vomited blood.
In desperation, Chu Zhen could only become a host and sell books live.
Earn a little bit!
"The audience is here, let's start today's live broadcast!"
"Talk about the Three Kingdoms, talk about the Three Kingdoms, and act out the Three Kingdoms. A "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can produce many heroic children and support many TV series and game project teams!"
"But what I want to say today is that the history of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties is no less exciting than the Three Kingdoms!"
"Ahem, have you all seen "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" that I recommended a few days ago? Those who haven't seen it can click on it to have a look."
"However, I also said at that time that the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was a novel about heroic legends. It wrote about Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and many other characters in Wagangzhai. In addition, it also included the palace secrets of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the court affairs. The role of some characters in history is exaggerated.”
"Some are exaggerated, and naturally some are weakened. The character who was most severely weakened in the romances of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, guess who it is?"
Chu Zhen stopped and looked at some words floating past the barrage.
"Li Er!!"
"My second phoenix!!"
"Admiral Tiance!"
"Of course I am the emperor of the Internet for eternity...Yang Guang! [doge]"
"Call Erlang when you have something to do, and scold the King of Qin when you have nothing to do. I am talking about you, Li Yuan!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Zhen picked up a pen and wrote a line in a notebook he just picked up from the road today:
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
The gavel never struck lightly or hard.
"Snapped!"
"Yes, in history, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, among the many emperors in the Chinese feudal era, if he were ranked first, many people would be dissatisfied. But if Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was squeezed out of the top three, then everyone would be dissatisfied!"
Chu Zhen didn't notice that a handsome young man in a white silk robe suddenly arrived on the second floor of his house. He walked up the stairs, looked around suspiciously, and came to the map of China hanging on the wall. forward.
After hearing about Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the extraordinary young man's ears twitched and he looked over calmly.
Chu Zhen continued to explain in an passionate tone:
"Before Li Shimin became the prince, his titles were:
General Tiance, Taiwei, Shangshu Ling, Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province and Yizhou Daoxingtai, Mu of Yongzhou, Governor of Puzhou, leading general of the Twelve Guards, Zhongshu Ling, Shangzhu Kingdom, and was granted the title of King of Qin! "
Hearing this, the only audience member opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
The barrage in the live broadcast room was a hustle and bustle.
"General Tiance is really awesome. He has people first and then positions. All wars inside and outside the Tang Dynasty were decided by Li Shimin alone. Even when Li Yuanji wanted to lead the army before his death, and Li Yuan issued an imperial edict, he could only say that he was leading the army on behalf of the King of Qin. !”
"God Khan, I can't comment."
"The male protagonist of a cool novel would not dare to make it up like this. It is the dream life of a time traveler!"
"The great achievements of Emperor Taizong are so great - the praise from Du Fu, hahaha."
"Three thousand to one hundred thousand, capture two kings in one battle! Li Shimin's martial arts is not inferior to that of Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, and his martial arts is far superior!"
The barrage seems to be getting more and more exaggerated.
But Li Shimin in real history was really that awesome.
Chu Zhen raised his head and glanced at the young man in front of him. He thought he was a worker in the village, so he didn't pay attention.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Li Shimin was born in 598, which was the eighteenth year of the founding of the Sui Dynasty. His father, Li Yuan, was born in the Guanlong noble family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was granted the title of Duke of Tang. His mother, Queen Taimu Dou, whose name is unknown, was the granddaughter of Emperor Wen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Tai, and the Princess of Xiangyang. "
The face of the young man in front of Chu Zhen became more and more surprised, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.
But Chu Zhen did not give him a chance and continued: "It can be seen that Li Shimin was born into a noble family, but he was not as idle as the rich second generation. On the contrary, when he was eighteen years old, he followed his father to raise troops in Jinyang and raised the flag of righteousness to resist the rule of the Sui Dynasty."
"you!"
The young man looked frightened. This major rebellion was a conspiracy between him, his father, brother, and officials. How did he make it known to everyone? !
"But you may not know that Li Shimin led the army to rescue Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty at the age of sixteen. What is this concept? Think about what you did when you were 16 years old."
Chu Zhen laughed, and the barrage was filled with laughter, and everyone said that they were doing this and that with their female classmates when they were sixteen.
The young man's expression calmed slightly after being praised.
Hear Chu Zhen continue to say:
"In February of the thirteenth year of Daye, Liu Wuzhou rebelled. This Liu Wuzhou was a school captain. After raising troops, he killed the prefect, opened warehouses to release grain, and gathered the victims. In this way, he obtained more than 10,000 soldiers, appointed himself prefect, colluded with the Turks, and later became emperor.
Even such a thing dares to rebel. Can you imagine how chaotic the Sui Dynasty was in the last years, and how good Yang Guang was in governing the country. "
The barrage burst into laughter again.
The young man standing in front of Chu Zhen was confused at first, and then laughed.
"In the name of quelling the rebellion of Liu Wuzhou and preventing the Turks from moving south, Li Yuan finally made up his mind to recruit troops. Li Shimin put aside his status, supported his retainers, made friends with thieves, and won over people."
"In May, Li Shimin's brother returned to Jinyang, and Li Yuan issued the slogan 'Abolish the emperor and establish a king on his behalf'. This slogan was similar to that of the Qing emperor. They were all intended to cause trouble and be used to win over troops.
From then on, Li Yuan proclaimed himself a general, and Li Shimin became the Duke of Dunhuang, leading the army on the right as the commander-in-chief, echoing his brother Li Jiancheng's command as the commander-in-chief on the left. "
"In July, Taiyuan Entrepreneurship Group officially launched its troops."
Chu Zhen was stunned.
Entrepreneurship was not something he just talked about. Shortly after Li Yuan became emperor, Wen Daya, who joined the army in the recording office, began to write "Notes on Entrepreneurship in the Tang Dynasty".
"It was also in this year that after a series of events such as attacking Huoyi, killing Song Laosheng, marching into Linfen, stranding Hedong, strangling Tongguan, and taking the Weishui River, Li Shimin obtained his third sister Pingyang Zhao on the grounds of his military strength and speed. The princess gathered more than 10,000 elite soldiers, a total of 200,000 troops to besiege Chang'an. After more than half a month of invasion, Li Yuan welcomed Yang You as emperor, namely Emperor Gong of Sui Dynasty."
"In other words, Li Yuan and his son also worked as Cao Cao thieves for a while, holding the emperor hostage to order the princes!"
The thief Cao was originally Chu Zhen playing tricks on married women, but the young man in front of him had a tense expression and frowned, as if he didn't believe that his third sister, a woman, could be so capable, and also seemed to have been scolded heavily.
Chu Zhen finally noticed something was wrong with him, raised his head and asked: "Are you here to buy books or read? Reading is five yuan an hour. There are seats on the second and third floors. You can also go to the top of the building."
The young man did not answer. He raised his eyes and looked at the strange decorations around him. From the window, he saw a long pillar standing in the distance. There were windows, and it looked like a house, but it was actually tall and flat, like a mountain peak.
"Where is this?"
He looked at it for a while before asking.
"?"
Chu Zhen was confused and replied casually: "This is Chenhu Village, don't you know?"
"Chenhu Village?" The young man thought for a moment and then asked, "How far is it from Taiyuan?"
"Taiyuan? More than a thousand kilometers."
When Chu Zhen finished speaking, the young man in front of him was already stunned.
