Live History Broadcast: Opening Ceremony Spoilers - Our Ancestor Was Enraged

Chapter 692 The Love and Hate Story of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Pig

After listening to Li Shimin's military insights, the others thought to themselves, "This is not something that can be taught; you're guaranteed not to learn it!"

Before the Tang Dynasty, other skilled warriors, who were naturally gifted, were curious about how a military emperor could have a civil emperor, aside from admiration, and so they continued to listen.

"Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, and the Turks supported him. So he sent Liu Wenjing as an envoy to the Turks to request military assistance, but he also instructed him not to send too many troops, since the lessons of the past were too painful."

"At the same time, Li Mi was still in Luoyang, fighting the Sui army. When our old Li entered the pass, he was much luckier. In terms of equipment and supplies, Pei Ji gave him 90,000 bushels of grain from Jinyang Palace... 400,000 sets of armor, so there was no need to worry at all."

Yang Jian, with mixed feelings: "..."

"It's interesting that when Li Yuanji left to guard Jinyang Palace, he told his two sons: 'Since ancient times, no one has ever become an emperor without achieving anything. You really have to make your own boomerang!'"

Erfeng: Ah, right, right, right! I'll listen to Father!

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan felt extremely uneasy listening to this. Could he say that at the time, he had no idea about the series of events that would follow?

Hmph, the younger generation keeps calling him Old Li, what a double standard! How could she possibly know the troubles of a child being better than their father!

To put it optimistically, at least his successor surpasses many founding emperors' crown princes and is a great emperor for all time.

Lin Ke couldn't hear his inner grumbling, otherwise she would have scolded him even more. The child is better than the parent, how could she be so happy?!

"After that, Li's army continued south. The Sui army was divided into two groups: one group, led by General Song Laosheng, with 20,000 elite troops, was stationed in Huoyi; the other group, led by General Qu Tutong, led tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops, was stationed in Hedong to block the southward advance."

"If we're talking about the difficulty of entering Guanzhong, then compared to Li Mi's situation, which was twice as difficult, our old Li's journey was just of average difficulty. He probably hasn't suffered much hardship in his life."

"However, the southward march in July still presented him with some difficulties. The weather was unpredictable, with continuous autumn rains and difficult roads, so Li Yuan's army could only temporarily encamp at Jiahu Fort."

Upon hearing this, a burly man in front of the screen scoffed, "I thought the Sui army had attacked ahead of schedule. Turns out they just rained for a few days. Is this what you call difficult?"

It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others! How come Old Li is so lucky?!

"In mid-July, the rain kept falling, the military rations were running out, and people were getting restless. Some people said, 'What if we suddenly form an alliance and the other side launches a surprise attack on Jinyang? Should we go back?'"

"Just as everyone was about to give up, Old Li's eldest and second sons suggested continuing forward, but their father wouldn't listen and went back to sleep. As a result, outside the tent, Erfeng started wailing, and then Old Li understood."

"However, some say this passage is fabricated; for example, it's not mentioned in Wen Daya's *The Founding of the Tang Dynasty*."

"However, as an indispensable figure in the Tang Dynasty, the portrayal of Empress Erfeng by later generations has been constantly shaped. Perhaps because the emperor and empress's love life was too smooth, attention was generally focused on other people, such as the princess of the previous dynasty and her brother's wife."

"And there are also the love stories of the Li family over the years, such as the father taking his daughter-in-law as a concubine, and the son marrying his father's concubine, which later generations also love to read."

Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty (a villain spitting blood.jpg): "....."

Liu Che was enjoying his melon and laughing heartily when, unexpectedly, his next words landed on him.

"Of course, as a legendary emperor, His Majesty the Pig has so much to film about in his life, but due to the widespread dissemination of a certain story, Liu Che is suspected of having the persona of a son-in-law."

Liu Zhuzhu: (?_??)!!

On the other hand, after hearing about the two people's outrageous developments, Ying Zheng had a vague premonition of something bad, and sure enough:

"The remaining member of the trio, Zheng Ge, hasn't been forgotten either. Perhaps it's because he never established an heir, but in any case, it leaves much to the imagination."

"There are many legends, such as Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall, the Epang Palace, or him and Ba Qing..."

Lin Ke's words silenced Ying Zheng. He felt that the imagination of later generations was too shocking!

Dragon-Phoenix Pig (???): Stay away from the private lives of your ancestors!!!
