My house's electrical wiring dates back to the Tang Dynasty.

"This calligraphy is really good." Li Mingbo unfolded the memorial and began to read it.

It's been around for a while.

The Xuan paper is yellowed, and there are red marks on it, which are Li Shimin's handwriting.

Li Mingbo could barely recognize some of the traditional Chinese characters.

The name of the person who signed it is on it.

"Alright, these will be worth at least a billion if we take them back." After saying that, Li Mingbo wondered if the unit of a billion even existed in the Tang Dynasty.

Just as Li Mingbo had an idea, Li Shimin frowned and looked at him, asking, "One hundred million?"

"Your Majesty, this is a large unit of measurement used in later times, ten thousand times ten thousand, which is one hundred million."

In Tang Dynasty official documents, historical records, and literary works, when describing large numbers exceeding "ten thousand", the superposition of ten thousand was usually used.

"Yes, the concept of 'hundred million' existed as early as the pre-Qin period, but it wasn't ten million, but rather one hundred thousand." Li Shimin was interested in everything modern. He pointed to the wall and looked at Li Mingbo, saying, "Let's go quickly, the Empress's illness can't wait."

"Alright, then I'll head back." Wang Mingzhen checked the time; it was four o'clock in the afternoon in the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, go and come back quickly," Li Shimin said.

"Okay." After Li Mingbo finished speaking, he pointed to the power line and said, "Your Majesty, don't let anyone touch this power line, people will die."

"Okay, you don't need to worry about it."

Li Mingbo, carrying three memorials and two scrolls, walked through the blue light screen.

After Li Mingbo left, Li Shimin lowered the curtain and covered the area.

Then he placed a screen in front of him before returning to his desk.

At this moment, Empress Zhangsun walked in.

"Your Majesty, I have come to pay my respects." Empress Zhangsun bowed respectfully.

"Guanyinbi, please rise quickly. I have told you so many times not to bow anymore, but you never listen." Li Shimin felt sorry for Empress Zhangsun, thinking that she only had four years left to live.

"Your Majesty, etiquette must not be disregarded. As the mistress of the palace, I must set an example," Empress Zhangsun said.

"Alright, I can't argue with you." Li Shimin looked at his wife, stepped aside from behind the screen, and said, "Empress, do you think that boy might not come back?"

This was Li Shimin's biggest worry.

There's nothing he can do if Li Mingbo doesn't come back.

It's impossible to get past it.

There's really nothing we can do about Li Mingbo.

If this brat really doesn't come back, my empress will definitely be four years from now...

Upon thinking this, Li Shimin felt a sense of fear.

The Empress is my first wife, and she has suffered a lot with me.

If I lose my empress...

The thought of Empress Zhangsun's death four years later filled Li Shimin with fear, a fear he had never felt before.

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. In my opinion, Li Mingbo is a good person. Of course, his words and actions are somewhat different from those of the people here. Your Majesty should be understanding of him. Over 1,300 years have passed, and many habits have changed," said Empress Zhangsun.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to speak up for him. If I didn't know, I would have already beheaded him. He has no manners at all. If it were anyone else, their head would have rolled long ago," Li Shimin said with a cold snort.

"His Majesty's magnanimity is a blessing to all people. I can see that he also admires lotus flowers very much. I am not mistaken about the love in his eyes. He will come back," said Empress Zhangsun.

"Hmph, he got off easy," Li Shimin said with a cold snort.

"Your Majesty." Empress Zhangsun knew perfectly well that Li Shimin was jealous.

Lianhua was Empress Zhangsun's personal maid, possessing beauty, refinement, and knowledge.

Even Li Shimin was jealous.

"Your Majesty, we can only approach Li Mingbo with a gentler approach, using genuine feelings to move him. I feel that he is not very afraid of status and position. From his conversation with Your Majesty and his every word and action, he reveals a sense of fearlessness towards power. I suspect this is related to the era in which he lived," said Empress Zhangsun.

"Your Majesty is very observant." Li Shimin nodded in agreement upon hearing Empress Zhangsun's analysis.

That kid is really rude.

They speak without any respect for elders or elders.

He casually predicted the Empress's death date; no one else would dare to do that.

At first, I thought he was heartless, but after what the Empress said, it may really be related to that era.

"Your Majesty, have you decided on a place for Li Mingbo to stay?" Empress Zhangsun asked.

"Empress, didn't you tell me to be sincere with him? Let's ask him after he arrives, so he won't say I'm being arbitrary," Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin would do anything for Empress Zhangsun.

Fortunately, there's no one else around.

If the ministers knew, they would be green with envy.

"Your Majesty, have you thought about Li Mingbo's marriage?" Empress Zhangsun asked Li Shimin.

Given Li Mingbo's current status as a modern person, the couple would never allow him to become someone else's son-in-law.

The goal was definitely to tie Li Mingbo to the royal family, specifically to Li Shimin's lineage. Only in this way could Empress Zhangsun become Li Mingbo's mother-in-law, and only then would he take the Empress's illness seriously.

The famous emperor who ruled the world for thousands of years must have thought about this issue.

"Is there someone in mind to choose as empress?"

"Li Langjun is older, at 28 years old. Among the legitimate princesses, Chang Le is only 11 years old. The age difference is too great, and Chang Le is already married to Chong'er."

"The older one is from Nanping, fourteen years old, and there is a fourteen-year age difference between them."

"What's wrong with a fourteen-year age difference? It's Nanping." Li Shimin was surprised to hear that it was only fourteen years old.

In order to bind Li Mingbo to this boat and to keep Li Mingbo's heart tied, Li Shimin acted very decisively this time.

"I'm afraid that since Nanping is born out of wedlock, Young Master Li might not be satisfied," Empress Zhangsun said after thinking for a moment.

"He dares!" Li Shimin's anger surged upon hearing this.

My Nanping is so beautiful, and I don't say anything about it, even though he's just a commoner. Yet he says he's not good enough for me.

"Your Majesty!" Empress Zhangsun reminded him when she saw Li Shimin getting angry.

Li Shimin thought about what the Empress had just said.

Win people over with virtue and move them with genuine feelings.

Otherwise, if this boy never returns, the Empress's illness will worsen.

Li Shimin looked at Empress Zhangsun and suppressed his anger, saying, "Don't worry, I won't act like that in front of him."

Li Mingbo walked through the gray wall.

Looking at the two scrolls and three memorials in his hand.

Everything is here.

I put the items inside the wardrobe and took some precautions to prevent mice from gnawing on them, which would be a huge loss.

I took out my phone to check.

Signal restored.
