The whole trip to the Everlasting City of Tang Dynasty was about shopping and eating, but they were not very satisfied with the food.
The main reason is that some modern seasonings were also available in the Tang Dynasty, and the cooks in each family were all taught by Xiao Luo.
Both the cooking techniques and ingredients are much better than those in tourist attractions, so everyone just randomly found a few special things to try.
In the evening, Tang Ping arranged for them to stay at the Datang InterContinental Hotel.
This hotel gave them a lot of surprises.
Li Shimin and Zhang Sun followed Tang Ping into a suite. Tang Ping introduced the various functions of the room to them and left.
Li Shimin stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the brightly lit city outside.
Empress Changsun hugged him from behind and asked, "What is Erlang thinking?"
"I wonder when our Tang Dynasty will be able to build it like this." Li Shimin said with some regret: "I'm afraid we won't be able to see it."
"Erlang is joking." Queen Changsun said, "Didn't we see it now?"
"Tang Ping also said that their country has only developed for a few decades and has achieved its current achievements. Even if our Tang Dynasty is slower, we will definitely be able to build it like this in a hundred or hundreds of years. We Now isn’t this an early glimpse into Datang’s future?”
Li Shimin smiled when Empress Changsun said: "Yes, Guanyin is right. By the way, how about we try the big bathtub that Tang Ping introduced just now?"
"Erlang..."
Early the next morning, Gou Shaoqun drove the tour bus here again. It was probably the only opportunity in his life to take people like Li Shimin, Li Jingcheng, and Zhijie around.
He even planned to keep the bus for himself after they returned.
"Where are we going today?" Li Shimin asked.
"How about taking everyone to your respective mansions first?" Tang Ping said with a smile, "It's just that those places have changed a lot now."
"Okay, you might as well go and have a look." Everyone said with a smile. It's strange that it hasn't changed in more than a thousand years.
So Gou Shaoqun drove off and set off.
When Tang Pingyuan came back, he often met Gou Shaoqun and became very familiar with whose mansion it was.
After driving not far, Tang Ping pointed to a hot pot restaurant and said, "This is probably General Li Daliang's home."
Li Daliang stood up and looked at it: "Shu Daxia hot pot, hehe, brothers, how about I, Daliang, treat everyone to hot pot at noon?"
"Hahaha, that's such a good feeling!"
"Daliang, why don't you just turn your mansion into a hot pot restaurant when you go back?"
The mansions of these princes were basically next to each other. Tang Ping pointed them out one by one, and everyone looked at them with interest. They did not feel uncomfortable because their mansions had turned into other stores.
"Tang Ping, where is my palace?" Li Shimin asked, "Take us to see it too."
"Okay!" Tang Ping said, "Our last stop is the Daming Palace National Heritage Park."
They have found the locations of these ministers' residences, and they can figure out how far away the Daming Palace is in which direction.
Sure enough, Gou Shaoqun drove around a corner and arrived not far away.
Tang Ping still held the yellow flag and said, "Everyone should follow me and don't get lost."
Then I went to a small window to buy tickets and distributed them to everyone one by one.
"Hey, you have to pay to go in!" Li Shimin said with a helpless smile.
Cheng Zhijie joked: "Why didn't His Majesty think of this trick when he was short of money? You should have sold tickets at that time. Everyone who came to attend the court meeting had to buy a ticket to enter the palace, and those who didn't get in would be fined. His Majesty's inner treasury It must have filled up quickly.”
Everyone else burst out laughing. I am afraid that only an old man like Cheng Zhijie could come up with such a sinister move.
"It looks different from our time!" After entering, Li Shimin said a little strangely.
"Well, it must be different." Tang Ping explained: "In 896 AD, the Daming Palace was destroyed by the war in the late Tang Dynasty. It was not until 1961 that the ruins of the Daming Palace were announced by our country as one of the first national It is one of the key cultural relics protection units. Then 13 years ago, the Daming Palace National Heritage Park was established on the original site. This park can only be said to have basically restored the historical appearance of the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty."
This is not the first time Tang Ping has come here. In the past, whenever friends came here, they would always take them here to play.
Later, I traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and I was naturally more interested in the information here, so it was very clear and logical.
Because all the palaces in the Daming Palace were destroyed, many of them were displayed in the form of models. At this time, several young people were placing a model of the palace.
Li Shimin and the others also went over to take a look curiously and found that what they were working on was the model of Zichen Palace.
Li Shimin only took one look and said, "You must have made a mistake here. There should be twelve pillars outside the Zichen Palace, not ten."
The young men raised their heads and gave Li Shimin a strange look and said, "Where do you think there are twelve pillars? All the information we checked showed ten."
"It must be twelve!" Cheng Zhijie also said.
They pass there almost every day, can they still remember it wrong?
When those young people saw this group of people coming, they said they had done something wrong, and said impatiently: "This is all what our Professor Li said. He is an expert on Tang culture."
"What experts and professors say is useless, here are the twelve pillars."
Just then, Tang Ping heard someone calling him, and it turned out to be his old acquaintance Professor Li Aiguo Li.
"Professor Li, why are you here?"
"Bring a few students here to repair some models." Li Aiguo pointed to the model of Zichen Palace, then looked at Tang Ping and his group, and asked with a smile: "Why did Xiao Tang start to act like a man after not seeing you for a few days?" Have you become a tour guide?"
"Hahaha, these are my friends, bring them here to see."
"Teacher, these guys just said that the number of pillars was wrong." Those young people were Li Aiguo's students. Seeing that Li Aiguo was so familiar with them, they thought they were also experts and professors somewhere.
Ordinary people say that they definitely don't care, but if an expert in the industry discovers that something is wrong, then they need to ask for proof. If it is wrong, they must correct it immediately, otherwise they will be trolled to death on the Internet.
"Wrong?" Li Aiguo asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"The pillars here are twelve, and the ones on both sides are ten." Li Shimin said: "When you repair it, it coincides with the number of the heavenly stems and the earthly branches."
"Oh?" Li Aiguo's eyes lit up, it was really possible.
After all, the models they are making now are all based on incomplete historical records.
More than a thousand years have passed, and no one has seen what the Zichen Palace looked like in the past.
From what Li Shimin said, it seems to make sense.
"I wonder if there are any documents or materials that have mentioned it?" Li Aiguo asked humbly. He felt that it would not be easy for Tang Ping to accompany him.
