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

Li Mingbo followed behind the beautiful woman, a gentle breeze blowing by.

The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance wafting from those walking ahead.

Li Mingbo couldn't tell whether it was the scent of her body or the fragrance of the garden flowers.

After many twists and turns, we arrived at a garden.

Li Shimin sat on the carpet, with a young and beautiful woman in front of him.

Her skin was as white as snow, and she possessed an air of elegance and nobility.

"Mingbo, come and greet the Empress." Li Shimin waved to Li Mingbo as he approached.

At the same time, everyone was ordered to stand back, and no one was allowed to approach within 100 meters.

"This humble subject, Li Mingbo, greets Your Majesty the Empress and wishes you good health," Li Mingbo said, bowing to Empress Zhangsun.

"Come, sit down. Make yourself at home here, don't be shy," Empress Zhangsun said, gesturing to the empty seats to the north of the couple.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Empress." Li Mingbo cupped his hands and, imitating the two, sat down on the ground.

"I have already told the Empress about your situation. I summoned you here today so that you can take a look at her," Li Shimin said with concern.

"Yes," Li Mingbo replied.

"As expected of someone from over a thousand years in the future, their demeanor and clothing are completely different from ours," Empress Zhangsun said.

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty," Li Mingbo replied, bowing respectfully.

Li Mingbo wasn't a doctor, so he didn't know anything about treating illnesses. He just asked Changsun some questions, such as where and when the illness occurred.

First, an allergen screening was conducted, and it was roughly estimated that the asthma was caused by pollen.

"Your Majesty, I am not a doctor and cannot provide a professional assessment. However, I can bring some equipment next time to examine the Empress's lungs," Li Mingbo said.

"equipment?"

"Oh, it's just some kind of mechanism or something," Li Mingbo said. "I just asked around, and the cause of the Empress's illness is probably pollen. From now on, no flowers should be planted in Her Majesty's residence, and there should be no dusty things like willows. Burning charcoal in winter will also have an impact. When I have time, I'll build a heated kang for the Empress so that there will be no charcoal ash in the house in winter."

"Regarding the Empress's illness, I will go back to the modern world and consult with a doctor to devise some treatment methods."

Li Mingbo said sincerely.

"Okay, go back now," Li Shimin said.

"Yes." Li Mingbo dared not disobey.

"Second Prince, I am fine, and there is no rush," Empress Zhangsun said to Li Shimin as she saw him begin to dismiss people.

"Then let's listen to the Empress," Li Shimin said.

"Just say what you have to say," Li Shimin said, looking at Li Mingbo.

"Your Majesty is wise." Li Mingbo hadn't expected that Li Er had seen him and had something to say; otherwise, how could he have become emperor?

"Uh, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was a poor man in the modern world, and the things I need to buy on this trip back are quite expensive," Li Mingbo began.

"Just tell me, how much money do you want?" Li Shimin said impatiently.

"Oh, I don't want money," Li Mingbo said.

"No money? Then what do you want to buy?" Empress Zhangsun asked, puzzled.

"Actually, in modern times, the most valuable things here are items from this period. Antiques from the Tang Dynasty are the most valuable in our area," Li Mingbo said, looking at the couple.

"Then I'll give you this jade pendant, and you can go to the storeroom and pick out as many as you want, as long as you can carry them." Upon hearing about antiques, Li Shimin immediately took a piece of mutton-fat white jade from his waist.

Li Mingbo took it and saw that it was a five-clawed dragon made of mutton fat jade.

"Your Majesty, you should take this jade pendant back." Li Mingbo looked at it, smiled wryly, and returned it to Li Shimin.

"What? It's worthless?" Li Shimin frowned.

"No, no," Li Mingbo quickly explained, "It's your jade pendant, and it has your name on it. Even if I take it back, I won't be able to sell it."

"Nobody wants it?" Didn't you say that many people would like my jade pendant 1,300 years from now? Why is nobody wanting my jade pendant? Is my reputation that bad?

That's not right.

Upon seeing Li Shimin's displeased expression, Li Mingbo thought about it carefully.

Li Shimin cared most about his reputation and guessed what was going on, so he quickly explained, "Your Majesty, you are a great emperor of all time. If I were to take back the jade pendant that you personally wore 1,300 years later, it would be a national cultural relic. There are clear laws in the country that state cultural relics belong to the state and cannot be owned or sold privately. Otherwise, it would be a crime and punishable by death."

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Li Shimin realized that his casual jade pendant would become a national treasure 1,300 years later.

He looked at his wife.

Li Shimin: Praise me quickly!

Empress Zhangsun, seeing Li Shimin's expression, knew exactly what he was thinking. She covered her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled softly.

"Then tell me, what should we do?" Li Shimin handed over the decision-making power to Li Mingbo.

"I want a calligraphy or painting by a famous artist," Li Mingbo said.

"Tell me whose you want, and I'll have them write it directly," Li Shimin said.

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't need to make them write them. You can find a few of the memorials they submitted in the past and have me take them back," Li Mingbo said.

"Alright, tell me, whose do you want?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"The famous calligraphers of the Tang Dynasty seem to be Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, and Xue Ji," Li Mingbo said after a moment's thought.

Li Mingbo is also a calligraphy enthusiast and has practiced calligraphy for a period of time.

I know a little bit.

Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, and Xue Ji are known as the Eight Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty.

In particular, Ouyang Xun was the one who wrote the inscription when Li Yuan was making the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins during the Wude era.

If you take a few of his memorials back with you, it will be hard not to get rich.

Who would take those heavy loads of gold from here?

Originally, Li Mingbo had asked Li Shimin for an authentic work by Wang Xizhi.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

Taking this thing back would mean it would be nationalized.

Who knows which museum's rats will ultimately get fat.

"Who is Xue Ji? I've never heard of him before. Guanyinbi, do you know him?" Li Shimin was surprised to hear that Li Mingbo had mentioned four people. He knew the first three, but he had never heard of the last one, Xue Ji.

"I don't know either, is it not yet born?" Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Mingbo.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject does not know either. I have only heard that it was in the early Tang Dynasty, which is a period of time, including the reigns of Emperor Wude and Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi. Perhaps he has not yet been born yet."

"Alright, I'll have someone fetch their three memorials for you right now. How many do you need?"

"Things are valued for their scarcity; too many will devalue them. Let each person take one. Choose carefully; it's best if it contains memorials concerning important events in the court."

"This way, it has historical research value and can fetch a better price."

What kind of bicycle do you want?

Calligraphy and painting are inseparable.

Having discussed calligraphy, let's move on to painting.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, "A famous painting?"

I have quite a collection.

But he couldn't decide which one he wanted.

He had just heard Li Mingbo say that some antiques would be national treasures more than a thousand years later. If Li Mingbo were to arrest and behead them, who would treat his empress's illness?

"You can choose these paintings yourself at the Hongwen Hall. I don't know which ones are national treasures," Li Shimin said.

Li Mingbo admired Li Shimin most in this respect.

Do not act arbitrarily.

"This humble subject obeys the decree," Li Mingbo said with a smile.

"I am never stingy with what I promise you, but you must also pay attention to the Empress's illness. As long as the Empress's illness is cured, you don't need to worry about anything else," Li Shimin said.

"This humble subject understands. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this humble subject will do my utmost."

"It's not just about doing your best, it's about curing him completely." Upon hearing this, Li Shimin thought, "Doing my best won't do."

"Yes." Li Mingbo gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Take this jade pendant. If anything happens, this jade pendant will keep you safe." Li Shimin did not take back the jade pendant, but gave it to Li Mingbo.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Empress," Li Mingbo said gratefully.

This is the emperor's jade pendant, as if the emperor himself were present.

With this, I can do whatever I want in the Tang Dynasty.

"Someone come here!" Empress Zhangsun called out.

The palace maid who had been there earlier came over, and Empress Zhangsun instructed the beautiful palace maid to take Li Mingbo to the Emperor's Collection Pavilion in the Hongwen Hall to select collectibles.
