Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 21 Li Bai's powerful complaints about domestic dramas

"Yuhuan, it was me who implicated her." Xuanzong sighed.

"It was I who caused her death at Mawei Slope and made her bear the reputation of a beauty who brings disaster. After I return, I will continue to keep her in the harem, but I will no longer show her favor to the Yang family, and I will not let her indulge in wine and women in the future."

Xuanzong just realized that his excessive kindness to the Yang family had already caused dissatisfaction among the people.

Su Jiahe finally felt relieved after hearing what Xuanzong said.

This was probably the best ending for Yang Yuhuan.

In the last ten minutes, accompanied by Su Jiahe and Li Bai, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang came to the streets of Xi'an.

Looking at the brightly lit streets with endless traffic and the high-rise buildings flashing neon lights, Xuanzong suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and forgot all about honor and disgrace.

"My Chang'an in the future is still majestic and magnificent!"

"Hahaha……"

Amidst hearty laughter, Xuanzong turned into a bright yellow shadow and disappeared in a flash.

"Miss Su, can Your Majesty change the destiny of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Bai was still a little worried.

"If your emperor truly wakes up, perhaps the prosperous era can continue for a few more decades, and the Tang Dynasty can survive for another hundred years. However, this is just my speculation. Only time will tell."

"So, the Tang Dynasty will perish sooner or later, right?" Li Bai looked a little lonely.

"As the saying goes, 'Flowers and weeds in the Wu Palace buried the secluded paths, while the clothing and hats of the Jin Dynasty became ancient hills.' Throughout history, no dynasty has lasted forever, but the spirit of the Tang Dynasty will have an indelible impact on China."

As soon as Su Jiahe finished speaking, Li Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss Su, which talented scholar wrote the two lines of poetry you just recited? They are truly great poems!"

"Brother Taibai, you really don't remember the poems you wrote?" Su Jiahe was a little surprised. How could Li Bai not remember such a classic poem?

"When did I write it?" Li Bai also looked confused.

Only then did Su Jiahe remember that the poem might have been written by Li Bai after the second year of Tianbao.

"Okay, this poem 'Ascending the Phoenix Tower in Nanjing' is one of your future works. Since I accidentally spoiled the plot, I'll tell you the whole poem."

Then, Su Jiahe recited the whole poem on the spot, but when he finished reciting the last sentence "Not seeing Chang'an makes people sad", Li Bai's face suddenly changed.

"Why do you say 'I won't see you in Chang'an'? Am I not an official in Chang'an?"

"Brother Taibai, according to the original timeline, you were expelled from Chang'an by the Emperor in the third year of Tianbao."

"This……"

After listening to this, Li Bai was silent for a long time. After a while, he finally sighed.

"Expel me if you will. As long as the Tang Dynasty enjoys long-term peace and prosperity, it doesn't matter to me whether I am an official or not."

Li Bai's words made Su Jiahe stand in awe.

It turns out that Li Bai sought an official position for half his life not for fame during his lifetime or after his death, but for the world.

"Miss Su, we still have one day. Where are we going?" After putting down all his burdens, Li Bai became his free and cheerful self again.

"I'll take you to a beautiful place where you can see the restored glory of the Tang Dynasty."

"Oh? Is it so magical?" Li Bai immediately became interested.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Tang Dynasty City that Never Sleeps.

"Brother Taibai, look, is this what the Tang Dynasty looks like?"

Li Bai was surprised and delighted when he saw the ancient-style roads, buildings, paper lanterns, and the NPCs dressed as common people, monks, guards, and courtesans.

"People in later generations really know how to have fun!"

"Yes, it's a pity that your Majesty can only stay for an hour. If it were longer, you could bring him along."

"Don't do that," Li Bai's smile immediately disappeared, "Then I'll just be serving him and won't be able to have fun myself."

At this time, an NPC dressed in white, wearing a turban on his head, dressed as a scholar, walked up to Li Bai holding a microphone.

"Hey handsome, let me test you." "Test what? Do I have to take a test when we're out having fun?" Li Bai was taken aback.

"Don't be nervous, the questions are very simple, and there are prizes if you can answer them."

"Okay, go ahead and take the test."

"Okay, next, please use the poem you learned to describe the scenery of the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps." The "scholar" read out the card word by word.

"That's it?"

Li Bai started speaking without hesitation.

"The great roads of Chang'an are connected by narrow and sloping streets, and seven fragrant carriages are drawn by blue oxen, white horses, and horses. Jade chariots crisscross the residences of the rich, while golden whips flow towards the homes of the marquises. This is Lu Zhaolin's 'Ancient Chang'an'."

"Fire trees and silver flowers bloom, the iron chains of the star bridge open. The dark dust follows the horse, the bright moon follows the man. This is Su Weidao's "The Fifteenth Night of the First Lunar Month."

……

Li Bai recited six or seven poems in a row before being stopped by the "scholar".

"My handsome man, I know you are very knowledgeable, but due to time constraints, I will just recite this far. I will give you a big prize." After saying that, he took out the largest plush toy from the bag.

"Thank you, thank you." Li Bai walked away happily holding the plush toy.

"Brother Taibai, do you know who that person is playing?" Su Jiahe asked.

"I don't know. There was no such thing as taking exams in the streets in the Tang Dynasty." Li Bai shook his head.

"Actually, he's playing you!"

"Ah? Hahaha..." Li Bai laughed out loud, "Why do people think I wear white? Is it because my name is Li Bai?"

"Uh... maybe it's because you're a banished immortal. People nowadays think white clothes are immortal."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Li Bai suddenly realized, "I was wondering why the gods in the play were all dressed in white. I thought it was the Jade Emperor's funeral."

"Pfft—" Su Jiahe burst out laughing, "Brother Taibai, you're amazing. Your description is so vivid."

The two of them happily spent a sleepless night and boarded a plane back to Bohai the next day.

"Brother Taibai, you've experienced almost everything these days, from running on the road to swimming in the water. The only thing missing is the plane. But don't walk around on the plane, or it will be dangerous."

Before taking off, Su Jiahe kept reminding Li Bai of things to pay attention to.

"With so many people, can it really fly?"

As soon as Li Bai finished speaking, the plane suddenly accelerated, and after a run-up, it took off straight away.

“It really can fly!”

Li Bai looked out the window at everything on the ground gradually becoming smaller and disappearing, and then passed through the swirling clouds, only to discover that above the sky, the sky was so blue and the sun was so dazzling.

"When the great roc soars with the wind, it soars up to ninety thousand miles. It's just like this."

Even after getting off the plane, Li Bai was still immersed in the experience of flying.

"The afterlife is wonderful, everyone can become an immortal. It's a pity it only lasts seven days. It would be great if we could stay here forever."

"Brother Taibai, don't be sad. Although there are no high-speed trains or airplanes in the Tang Dynasty, I can bring you a few more bottles of wine and give you a book on winemaking techniques." Su Jiahe comforted him.

"Well, maybe after drinking some good wine, I can still dream of the afterlife."

The next day was the day Li Bai was leaving. Li Bai washed up early and changed into his original clothes.

"Brother Taibai, put on your shoes."

Su Jiahe thoughtfully bought a pair of Tang Dynasty official boots on Taobao, otherwise it would be too ugly to walk barefoot in the palace.

"Thank you, Miss Su. I have really troubled you for the past seven days." Li Bai put on his boots, stood up and bowed repeatedly.

"Brother Taibai, you're welcome. But before we part, I have a few words to remind you."
