Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Not far from the Liangyi Hall, straight to the north is the Xuanwu Gate, guarded by the Imperial Guard.

Chu Suiliang followed Li Shimin, looking at Xuanwu Gate, and his mind automatically recalled the flash of swords and swords here five years ago.

Although he knew that these thoughts were dangerous, Chu Suiliang couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and use his peripheral vision to look at His Majesty's expression.

In Chu Suiliang's imagination, His Majesty might have some thoughts of boasting.

After all, it has only been five years since we defeated two powerful enemies in a row and defeated the Western invaders. Now we only have to wait for Li Jing, the general manager of Qinghai Road's march, to return the bandit chief to the capital. The merits of the world can be said to be unprecedented since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

But unexpectedly, what Chu Suiliang saw on Li Shimin's face was loneliness and a little dazed. The king just stared at the Xuanwu Gate strictly guarded by the imperial army, in a daze.

Fortunately, Li Shimin did not immerse himself in this for too long.

Dengshan.

Li Shimin called Chu Suiliang's name quite kindly and asked a question that was not kind at all:

Did Zheng Zuo Ji Lu have anything to do with Xuanwu Gate on June 4th?

this……】

Chu Suiliang was suddenly a little embarrassed, he pondered for a moment and said truthfully:

Zheng Zuoji recorded the old events of Xuanwu Gate in subtle words.

It is hidden but not obvious, and there are many melodies and euphemisms in the records. I am afraid there are many words that are not detailed.

But considering Old Bachelor Zheng's character before, it was quite normal.

Li Shimin nodded in understanding, and then continued moving forward without saying a word.

It is considered unethical to kill one's brothers and force one's father to do so, so in the early years of Zhenguan, he was very concerned about this place.

But after seeing the statue of General Zhenguan who never sleeps in Chang'an in later generations, this concern has disappeared.

As for how stunned I was just now, it was more because I didn't expect the series of coups that followed.

From the Shenlong coup in which Wu's daughter abdicated to Li Longji's preemptive coup, there were three uprisings in just eight years. The nobles, civil servants and nobles in the court were surrounded by a river of blood. It is difficult to say that he was not the instigator among them. relation.

But fortunately, there is still time now. With the help of future generations, the Tang Dynasty not only needs to advance by sea and land, but also needs to cultivate both internally and externally.

Chu Suiliang didn't know how many thoughts had changed in His Majesty's mind in just a short period of time, but he also vaguely noticed that this Majesty was very different from the one recorded in Zheng Xueshi's daily life records.

For example, the direction His Majesty led the way this time was never seen in the records of the previous living man.

Go out of Xuanwu Gate to the north, cross the West Inner Garden behind Xuanwu Gate, and ride your horse all the way north straight into the Forbidden Garden.

Logically speaking, the emperor was probably here for hunting, but Chu Suiliang did not see his majesty changing into hunting clothes or using a strong bow, and there was no hint of laughter on his face.

And the deeper you go into the Forbidden Garden, the more shadowy Forbidden Army there are around you.

Just when Chu Sui became increasingly uneasy in his conscience and wanted to ask questions, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In the depths of this deep forbidden garden, a group of low houses have risen from the ground.

The patrolling soldiers gathered around them immediately, and after verifying their identities, they began to check everyone for any igniting objects. It was not until they repeatedly confirmed that Chu Suiliang was impatient that the Forbidden Army bowed to His Majesty with the crossed arms and retreated. .

The Imperial Army dispersed, and Chu Suiliang clearly saw the three words on the plaque above the main entrance: Five Thunder Department.

And a sign was erected next to it, with His Majesty’s powerful handwriting on it:

Those who are good at bringing fire into the Five Thunder Watchers will be killed!

Is this Wu Lei Department the Five Lei Guan?

Chu Suiliang had a lot of knowledge when he worked in Hongwen Hall. After all, most of the students here were either rich or noble, and they were extremely well-informed.

Last year, he heard someone say in casual conversation that two new strange places had been added to Chang'an in the past two years.

One is the gloomy Yining Square. There are many rumors from the surrounding neighbors that the prison guards of Dali Temple are sending prisoners here every month. However, judging from the smoke, there are not many people living in Yining Square. There are some It is said that there is a man-eating ghost here, and children should avoid it.

The second one is the thunderous Yongxingfang, which houses the Five Thunder Temple. The surrounding neighbors can hear the thunder from this temple during the day, which can be called a miracle.

There are even more rumors about this temple, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that it is difficult to enter to worship. All Chu Suiliang knew was that this temple was fortified by His Majesty's handwriting.

Because of his father's relationship, he also knew that the Five Mines Department would be added to the prison later. At that time, he had speculated that the two with similar names might be related, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes today.

Do you want to go inside to see the secrets of Tang Dynasty?

Li Shimin asked back with interest, which made Chu Suiliang hesitate for a moment, but in the end, either out of curiosity or as a living man, he said decisively:

Even my father will definitely not say a word about what I saw. What I saw in it is only a record of His Majesty's words and deeds in his daily life, not a word of what he saw.

Li Shimin smiled and said:

Xi Ming is a man of writing, and his elegant words can be called the brilliance of governing the world, and he can be called the sage who prospered the Tang Dynasty.

Since I have this father, I believe everything Deng Shanzhi says.

Chu Suiliang's father, Chu Liang, expressed his sincere words to Xi Ming. Although he knew that his father was powerful, he never thought that he would hear such high-level comments from His Majesty. Chu Suiliang felt a little warm in his conscience for a while.

After confirming again at the main entrance that there was no fire hazard on him, Chu Suiliang finally entered the Five Mines Department.

The imaginary Five Thunder Temple should have statues of gods standing upright and the sound of chanting sutras coming and going. However, the Five Thunder Temple that you can see is filled with craftsmen coming and going, and they are all in a hurry.

What the nose smelled was not incense, but a more unpleasant smell, just like the smell of raw eggs after being left for a long time, mixed with some vague sour smell.

Your Majesty is coming from afar, but I am not here to greet you. With a confession, Chu Suiliang saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest and rolled out.

Li Shimin looked at it and joked: Taoist Zhengyang, you have been living here for a long time, but you have not cultivated your moral character. Instead, you have seen that the food is getting better and better.

Chu Suiliang didn't think it was too rude. After all, this Zhengyang Taoist was really fat, and after experiencing the war, the people were all tall and wide. I'm afraid many people in Chang'an City would envy this figure.

Your Majesty, please ask me to take charge of the matter. Now I have changed the name of Zhengyang to Tongxuan.

Chu Suiliang laughed out loud immediately, and Li Shimin glanced at him and said:

Why is Denshan laughing?

So Chu Suiliang followed the rules:

As far as I know, Zhengyang means due south, which belongs to fire and is red. Tongxuan means connecting to the north, which belongs to water and is black.

I am afraid that the name change is to coincide with His Majesty's ban on fire.

Then the Tongxuan Taoist showed a grateful expression. Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and shook his head:

My dear, you don't have to be like this.

After another polite conversation, Taoist Tongxuan asked cautiously:

Your Majesty, now that you are here, you must have praised the firearms of the Five Thunder Department on behalf of the state?

Li Shimin did not comment, but raised his chin and said:

At this point, my dear, please show me the current Five Thunder Department.
