June 626 AD

Tang Dynasty Chang'an, early morning

A tavern in Andingfang was empty.

The shopkeeper Ye Ping, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, fell into deep thought.

This is the 180th day he has been here.

Half a year ago, he traveled to the early Tang Dynasty in the parallel world, and the Tang Dynasty was just established at this time.

Coincidentally, he also wore a man of the same name and surname, and inherited his tavern and made a living from the tavern.

Recently, there are always two people coming to visit every now and then.

And he is generous every time.

These two people always ask strange questions from time to time.

for example:

How to defeat the rebel general Liang Shidu?

Who is better to fight the Tuyuhun school?

Who is behind the scenes when Yang Wengan’s rebellion?

When will the Tang Dynasty prosper...

Regarding these questions, Ye Ping, who had a profound study of the Tang Dynasty, knew the answers, but after telling them the answers, these people didn't believe it, and they didn't believe it and wanted to ask.

...

This day seemed unusual.

They are coming again.

"Old Li, Lao Cheng, you have some time to come."

He greeted him and greeted him.

The middle-aged man wearing gorgeous clothes is Lao Li as he calls him. He has a heroic and extraordinary appearance and has his own dignity.

Another big boss is Lao Cheng, who is straightforward and has finer character. He often brings a gossip Xuanhua axe and asks him that it is for self-defense.

You're crazy, carrying such heavy things every day is a waste of effort!

Ye Ping tried to ask their names.

Unfortunately, they didn't say it, only knew that one was surnamed Li and the other was surnamed Cheng.

Therefore, I had to be called Lao Li and Lao Cheng.

Lao Li didn't seem very happy, as if he was worried.

“What to eat today?”

"Same as last time!"

Lao Li and the others found a seat and sat down.

"You guys rushed early. The meat and vegetables have just been purchased from the market. They are very fresh. You can try my new dishes."

Lao Li just nodded and had no other expressions.

Ye Ping realized that Lao Li was particularly unhappy today.

Old Cheng said: "Ye Ping, if you have any good wine here, just go up and have the most intense one!"

Drinking strong alcohol in broad daylight will definitely happen to something unpleasant.

"Old Li, have you encountered troublesome business recently?"

Ye Ping couldn't help but ask another question.

According to themselves, they came to Chang'an to do business, but it is unknown what it actually looks like.

"Why……"

Old Li sighed.

Every time he asks a key question, Lao Li's behavior is like this, which proves that he refuses to say it.

Ye Ping didn't want to ask.

"If it's inconvenient to say, then drink two more glasses. It's called "drunk to relieve a thousand worries and let all worries go to the ghosts."

Since I don't want to say it, let him go.

As long as you pay enough money for alcohol, no matter your mood, I won’t starve to death.

He also saved a lot of money. If he saved ten yuan, he could ask the matchmaker to talk about marriage and marry a beautiful lady.

Suddenly, Old Li asked seriously: "Ye Ping, I'll ask you something."

"But it's okay."

Lao Li looked around and there was no contact with people.

"Who do you think will be the most likely emperor in the future??"

Normal people will definitely talk about the prince, why?

Because the crown prince is the crown prince, no accidents happen now, the emperor must be him.

But Ye Ping knew the answer to this question.

It is June, and this month, Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and then successfully took office and became emperor.

But if you say so, no one believes it.

And he is very disrespectful to the three princes. If someone is determined to stab you in the back, he doesn't know how you die.

"Old Li, you can't say this nonsense, you want to behead your head."

Ye Ping wondered why Lao Li asked such a taboo question.

"You also know that when we are businessmen, politics has a great influence on us, and I am also looking for a way out for the future. I admire your unique insights very much, so I asked, you must talk to me."

Lao Li explained that the intention was very strong.

That seems to make sense.

Who is in power is related to the future policy direction.

So Ye Ping whispered: "In terms of talent and credit, it is naturally the most likely second prince!"

When he said something, he could feel Lao Li's expression becoming soothing and a little excited.

It feels like he is the second prince.

"Then you analyze the reasons."

"The second prince is wise, martial arts, the hearts of the people, and the achievements. The so-called "those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and he deserves to be the emperor!"

When Lao Li heard this, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"But the prince and the third prince are not bad either!"

Although Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's contributions were not as good as Li Shimin, everyone's contributions were also quite good when they first started the army.

"The prince cannot tolerate talented existences and does not know how to use merit. Moreover, he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so how can he know the situation of the world? The third prince has a perverse personality, fierceness and no long-term plan. How can he take on this great task like this? Moreover, Taibai Jinxing has recently appeared in the northwest of Chang'an, which is where the Qin King (Li Shimin) mansion is! Naturally, the Qin King should have the world!"

Lao Li's expression was extremely shocked.

He actually said loudly: "Ye Ping, you are indeed a talented person! The King of Qin deserves the world! Hahaha!"

"Speak softly, this is the secret of heaven and cannot be leaked!"

But it's all too late.

Suddenly an army appeared from all around.

They surrounded everyone.

The leader is a fierce general.

He shouted suddenly: "Boldly, discuss state affairs privately, arrest them all!"

"You dare!"

Lao Cheng stepped forward.

I don't know when the double axe appeared in my hand.

"Catch it!"

The fierce general ignored it.

"The King of Qin is here, who dares to be close to him to kill him!"

King of Qin?

Ye Ping couldn't believe that the middle-aged man in front of him turned out to be King Qin Li Shimin.
