“In the end, it’s still Tang.”

Jiang Yi stood in the middle of the palace and replied.

Wu Zetian's eyes darkened a little.

But then, Jiang Yi relied on his extraordinary observation skills to see her subtle and gentle exhalation.

This seems to symbolize the complicated heart of this empress in her later years.

"What will happen to future generations after returning to the Tang Dynasty?"

Wu Zetian thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian succeeded to the throne. He restored the old system of the Tang Dynasty, exempted rents and taxes, and established ten inspectors. During his reign, he made peace with Tubo and ensured the stability of the border areas."

"Marriage?"

Wu Zetian sighed. As a woman, she was probably the emperor who disliked seeing the scene of marriage the most.

She couldn't help but remember that in the first year of Long Live Tongtian (AD 696), the Khitan who originally submitted to the Tang Dynasty rebelled, forcing Wu Zhou to make a silent peace with the Turks.

With the help of Mochu, Wu Zhou finally defeated the Khitan.

However, being naturally strong and unable to withstand threats, she did not let Li Xian or Li Dan marry a Turkic princess. Instead, she chose her grandnephew Wu Yanxiu to get married. In the end, the marriage failed, her grandnephew was kidnapped, and the Turks began to rebel.

, and beat Wu Zhou to a pulp...

That year, fortunately, Di Renjie went out as deputy commander and suppressed the Turks' arrogance...

Wu Zetian did not expect that when the next emperor came, he would start to be threatened by Tibet again.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. After Tang Zhongzong, the Tang Dynasty gave birth to another emperor who will be famous throughout the ages. His name is Tang Xuanzong, and he is also your grandson, Li Longji!"

"He created the prosperous Kaiyuan era. During that period, the Tang Dynasty was the center of the world and reached the peak of Chinese feudal society----"

Jiang Yi did not tell Wu Zetian about Li Longji's later troubles. After all, she was already over seventy years old at this time, several years older than the Hongwu Emperor whom Jiang Yi had spoken to.

"really?"

Wu Zetian laughed visibly.

"Yes, the Tang Dynasty and Wu Zhou are both the pride of future generations."

Jiang Yi said without exaggeration.

"Wu Zhou, can he be regarded as the pride of future generations?"

Wu Zetian looked at Jiang Yi expectantly and couldn't help but stand up again.

"certainly!"

Jiang Yi looked at Wu Zetian proudly and gratefully and said, "Your Majesty, I have a very important purpose for coming here to talk to you."

"What purpose?"

Wu Zetian has completely believed Jiang Yi's identity.

She didn't believe that someone could fabricate a prosperous age out of thin air and bribe her bodyguards to remain motionless throughout the whole process.

And it’s the kind that doesn’t move at all!

Just now, her eyes had been directed at some of the guards in the palace.

"Junior, I would like to come to thank Your Majesty and Ancestor Zetian!"

"Thank me?"

Wu Zetian couldn't believe it. This was the first time she heard that someone who was not her courtier came to thank her!

As a female emperor in a feudal society, although Wu Zetian was not a good person, she could guess how many people would scold and condemn her at that time and in later generations!

She thought that she would be stabbed in the spine by countless people, but she never thought that one day, someone from future generations would come to thank her!

Jiang Yi looked at the white-haired empress in front of him with great respect, and said firmly: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for breaking the gentry system, which has made the aristocratic politics that has advocated family status since the Wei and Jin Dynasties come to a standstill!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for giving the people of Liming a way to advance, improve and promote the imperial examination system, and make great contributions to future generations of China!"

"Is the imperial examination still used in future generations?"

"In future generations, will people still be selected based on their family status?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yi's words, Wu Zetian's first reaction was not to be happy, but to ask subconsciously.

Jiang Yi nodded affirmatively: "Yes, in our later generations, the imperial examination was called an examination. It's just that in the younger generation's era, we had to take many subjects."

Jiang Yi thought, and a mirror of time and space appeared in the Wanxiang Palace.

There are subjects such as Chinese, Mathematics, English, Politics, and History, all of which are automatically paired with ancient characters by the Mirror of Time and Space.

"These are the subjects that our future generations will learn. The students of future generations will be immersed in books like this every day."

Jiang Yi introduced Wu Zetian.

When it comes to Wu Zetian's greatest contribution to later generations, Jiang Yi first recommended the reform of the imperial examination system and this move to employ people in an eclectic way and break the gentry system.

Just imagine, if modern times still select people based on the gentry clan, not only the children in remote mountain villages will be left in the dark, but even for some families who can afford houses in the city, their children may not have a way to advance.

There may always be people who say that without Wu Zetian, there would still be Wen Zetian, but in Jiang Yi's view, those are all empty talk, and they are just sour grapes.

Anyone who has made a real contribution is a great being who has promoted the history of Chinese civilization, and they are all unique!

"Young students, I would like to hear what you have learned?"

Wu Zetian looked at the mirror of time and space in front of her, and while amazed at Jiang Yi's abilities, she asked longingly.

She seems to care about future generations of students.

Jiang Yi introduced: "Among the Chinese languages ​​we study today, there are the Analects of Confucius by the sage Confucius, the Four Books and the Five Classics, as well as Tang poetry, and Song lyrics after the Tang Dynasty."

Every time Jiang Yi introduced a link, the corresponding model essay would appear in the Mirror of Time and Space, and Wu Zetian was fascinated by it.

As for mathematics, physics and chemistry, Jiang Yi gave Wu Zetian a rough explanation and just let Wu Zetian know that there was such a thing.

Every time she mentioned a subject, Wu Zetian nodded thoughtfully, with a smile on her lips.

But then, she frowned slightly: "With so many subjects, wouldn't it be very tiring for future generations of children?"

"Can they... eat well and sleep well?"

Jiang Yi looked at Wu Zetian solemnly. Although he had already graduated and started working, when he heard these words, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Is this the heart of the empress?

The first reaction was actually to care about whether the children in future generations are tired and whether they can eat well and sleep well?

At this moment, especially the students in modern time and space, they all seem to have found a more powerful parent to complain to, and they are posting barrages like crazy.

"Ancestor Zetian, we are very tired!"

"What's the matter with feeling a little touched for no reason?"

"Ancestor Zetian is too warm!"

"Yes, our ancestor Zetian was a woman first, and then became an emperor!"

"Ancestor Zetian, I am not tired. With your words, I will not be tired even if I recite a hundred Tang poems!"

The audience wished that Wu Zetian was in front of them now, so that they could directly tell this great ancestor their thoughts.

In response to this, Jiang Yi also gave an answer that can represent most students: "Tired!"

“There are also many children who don’t have enough to eat or sleep well!”

Wu Zetian, who was already quite worried, frowned even more tightly. She asked angrily and anxiously, as if Emperor Taizong had blamed future generations for being incompetent.
