The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

"If the seventh year of Zhenguan is 633 AD, then our Great Tang Dynasty has only been established for a little over ten years. So, from its founding until its demise in 907 AD, the period was only a mere two hundred years?"

What? A mere two hundred years? Listen to what you're saying! Lin Fan was speechless, caught off guard.

Strictly speaking, the Tang Dynasty's duration of rule is definitely among the top five of all unified dynasties in history.

Lin Fan thought to himself, "No wonder she is Li Erfeng's daughter, a figure who will be remembered in history. Just over two hundred years ago, I wonder how many big shots in the underworld would feel ashamed upon hearing this."

After processing the information and organizing her thoughts, Chang Le looked up at Lin Fan.

"Thank you so much, Brother Lin Fan, for clearing up Chang Le's doubts!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt a little embarrassed. He had only read the information from the webpage once, and at most wasted some breath.

"You're welcome, but I hope you won't take it too personally!"

"It's alright, Brother Lin Fan, don't worry. After all, more than two hundred years have passed. Since my Li family descendants couldn't protect this vast empire, we can only blame ourselves!"

Chang Le is undoubtedly most concerned about her father's generation and her siblings' generation. As for her descendants, she herself will turn into a handful of dust in a few decades, so caring about them won't make much difference!

Look at their awareness, their mindset, their attitude! Lin Fan, listening from the side, really couldn't help but want to give Chang Le a thumbs up.

"It's for the best that you think that way!"

At first, he was most afraid that these things would upset Chang Le, but now that Chang Le has said these words, it seems that he was worrying too much.

"By the way, Brother Lin Fan, you mentioned historical records about me before, could you tell me about them again?"

Lin Fan originally thought the topic was over, but he didn't expect Chang Le to still hold it in mind. At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself twice!

The history of the Tang Dynasty had already troubled Chang Le, and now he had to tell her that she wouldn't live much longer and would die young in her twenties?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but look at Chang Le on the right with some pity, and then turned to look at Xiao Si Zi on the left who was watching TV intently. Both sisters had had many hardships in their lives!

Seeing that Lin Fan remained silent and looked at her and Xiao Sizi with a strange expression, Chang Le, being such a clever person, immediately thought of something unpleasant.

"Could it be that I and Jizi...?"

"Changle, I think it's getting late. Why don't you go back first? I've bought what your mother needs, and Sizi can come and get it next time..."

"Brother Lin Fan, you don't need to be like this. Just say whatever the history books say. Chang Le is fine with it!"

Seeing Chang Le trying so hard to keep smiling, Lin Fan felt helpless and couldn't help but try to persuade her again:

"Don't overthink it. Historical records actually speak very highly of you. I swear I'm not lying to you!"

But what Lin Fan didn't know was that the more unwilling he was to talk about it, the stronger Chang Le's curiosity became.

"Of course I believe Brother Lin Fan wouldn't lie to me, but please tell me the truth. If there's anything about Xiao Sizi, please tell me as well. I would be extremely grateful!"

As Chang Le was about to stand up and bow, Lin Fan could only quickly reach out to stop her. Xiao Sizi, who was sitting next to Lin Fan, also poked her head out and turned to look when she heard her older sister call her name.

"Sister, what's wrong? Why are you calling me?"

Xiao Sizi looked at Chang Le and then at Lin Fan beside her. The key was that she couldn't bear to part with the cartoons on TV, so her little head kept turning back and forth.

"Sister's alright, Sizi, just relax and watch TV!"

"Okay, sure!" Xiao Sizi ignored the two of them and turned her attention back to the TV series.

Lin Fan was at his wit's end, and scratched his head helplessly:

"Actually, I think knowing some things isn't necessarily a good thing!"

The previous events were part of the history of the Tang Dynasty, and even if Chang Le knew them, she might not be able to change them. However, it's one thing for Lin Fan to know about her and Xiao Si Zi, but it's another thing for her to know about them.

If it is true, as recorded in history, that if the two of them fall ill in the future, they can find a way to help, just like Empress Zhangsun did this time. However, if she herself knew her own fate, the pressure in her heart would definitely be enormous!

It's like if someone told you one day that you only have ten years left to live. Although you can try various methods to prevent it along the way, the torment of waiting is something that even Lin Fan himself would find hard to bear, let alone Chang Le.

"I can perhaps guess your concerns, Brother Lin Fan, but if something bad really happens, knowing in advance might allow us to make changes, don't you think?"

Chang Le, being such a clever person, had already roughly guessed what was going on from Lin Fan's series of actions just now.

"Okay, I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else yet!"

Lin Fan thought about it and realized that what Chang Le said made sense. After all, he didn't know what the real situation was in history, and telling Chang Le now could be an effective way to prevent it.

Of course, Lin Fan's statement that he couldn't tell others was mainly aimed at Li Shimin. He was really afraid that one day Li Er would find out that he had said these "alarmist" things to his daughter and would come and kill him through the internet!

"Yes, Chang Le swears that I will never tell anyone what I said today!"

Of course, she didn't finish saying something else: "This is an oath made by Chang Le, and it has nothing to do with me, Li Lizhi. If all else fails, I can just ask Father to change my title!"

Lin Fan had no idea what Chang Le was thinking at that moment. Hearing this, he nodded and started searching on the web.

"Alright, see?"

Fearing that Xiao Sizi might overhear, Lin Fan handed the phone to Chang Le.

"But... I don't recognize any of these characters either!"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar characters on her phone, Chang Le stuck out her tongue and looked at Lin Fan somewhat embarrassedly.

Lin Fan awkwardly took the phone upon hearing this and immediately switched the phone's font to Traditional Chinese in the settings.

"Look at this!"

If she still doesn't recognize traditional Chinese characters, then Lin Fan can only read it to her in a simple way, just like before!

Chang Le took the phone and looked at it. She could understand most of the characters on it, but she didn't know if the usage was the same. She didn't think too much about it and started to look at it carefully.

Princess Changle, whose real name was Li Lizhi (621-643).

"The eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and Empress Wende, née Changsun."

In the second year of the Zhenguan era (628), she was granted the title of Princess of Changle County, with a fief of three thousand households.

..............

In the seventh year of the Zhenguan era (633 AD), she married Changsun Chong, the eldest son of Changsun Wuji.

Chang Le already knew all of the above, and she also knew some information about the marriage, since her mother had mentioned it to her before. However, the records she saw next made her uneasy.

He died in 643 AD at the age of 23 and was buried in Zhaoling Mausoleum.

She didn't continue reading the records after that. After all, for a girl in her early teens to suddenly learn that she only had about ten years left to live was a blow that most people couldn't bear.
