2: Chapter 2 General Tian Ce

"Yes, which dynasty are you from?"

Yang Fan didn't know much about history, but just by looking at the clothes, he knew the man was an emperor.

He hadn't expected that the person bound to this trading space would be so extraordinary; just anyone here was at the emperor level.

"Seeing that you are also a descendant of Huaxia, I am surnamed Li, given name Emperor Taizong of Tang. Have you heard of me?"

Emperor Taizong of Tang saw that although the other person's attire was strange, he could understand the man's speech, and the man could understand him.

Emperor Taizong of Tang guessed that the other person should know him.

Yang Fan nodded; this name was also like thunder to his ears.

"Tang Taizong, Emperor Taizong of Tang?"

Emperor Taizong of Tang's mouth twitched; this guy had already thought of his temple name upon their first meeting?

"Hearing you speak my temple name, it seems you are from after I passed away?"

Yang Fan thought for a moment; in truth, he had returned most of his history studies to his teachers, and he only had a vague impression.

"Hmm... The era I am in is about 1400 years from your Tang Dynasty."

Emperor Taizong of Tang was shocked internally, but he didn't show it.

Instead, he closed his eyes and pondered; a person from 1400 years later, the significance of this trade was extraordinary.

Perhaps Empress Zhangsuns nickname had a chance of being saved.

"How is the level of doctors in your era? Is there a medicine for immortality?"

Yang Fan looked at the other person a few times, guessing that a relative probably needed treatment.

"If you have money, you can extend your life."

"As for immortality..."

"Although I don't care about history, I have browsed through it; there has been no medicine for immortality for thousands of years."

Yang Fan believed Emperor Taizong of Tang could understand his meaning.

That so-called gambling king, wasn't that a typical case?

Emperor Taizong of Tang was clearly more relaxed, and his brows loosened a little.

However, he still felt disappointed to hear there was no medicine for immortality.

"Then what is the evaluation of me in your era?"

This was what Emperor Taizong of Tang was curious about; after all, it had been 1400 years. He wouldn't be nailed to the pillar of shame for killing his brothers, would he?

"You didn't do proper work."

These four words from Yang Fan stunned Emperor Taizong of Tang; what kind of evaluation was this?

Emperor Taizong of Tang's mind kept echoing these words, making his head dizzy.

He was stunned for a moment.

"Why is the evaluation like this?"

Emperor Taizong of Tang had thought of many later evaluations of himself, but he had never thought he would hear such an evaluation.

"Why wouldn't it be evaluated like this?"

"When you had the ability, you didn't wipe out all the surrounding small countries, leaving behind hidden dangers, and you even engaged in marriage alliances, bringing out technology and planting the seeds for the destruction of the Tang Dynasty."

"Is that enough?"

Yang Fan complained, if you had wiped out all these surrounding small countries earlier, these stick-people, foot-basin chickens, and monkeys, wouldn't they all be war coolies in the future?

You even set up those empty titles like 'Heavenly Khan'; when the Tang Dynasty declined, wouldn't these little brothers all take up butcher knives and slash at the Tang Dynasty?

In fact, the later evaluation of Emperor Taizong of Tang was quite good, and Yang Fan actually admired Emperor Taizong of Tang quite a bit.

However, because of his grandmother's matter and his own illness, Yang Fan was a bit irritable, so he didn't say anything nice.

Emperor Taizong of Tang frowned even more after hearing Yang Fan's words; he heard that marriage alliances had planted the seeds for the destruction of the Tang Dynasty.

He didn't seem to have engaged in any marriage alliances, but hearing the other person speak with such certainty, it seemed to be a later matter.

And why was this junior's murderous intent so heavy? Wiping out all the surrounding small countries, his heart for killing was too heavy.

"Your idea is not very good; your murderous intent is too heavy, it hurts the harmony of heaven."

"Since they have all submitted and offered tribute, I think that is enough. After all, fighting a war is not as simple as you think; money and grain are astronomical figures."

"Alright, junior, let's not discuss this issue. Since it is a trading system, let's start trading things."

Emperor Taizong of Tang felt that the young man in front of him did not know the cost of firewood and rice.

He decided to get straight to the point.

"Let's trade first. I want to exchange for some medicine."

As he spoke, he described Empress Zhangsun's condition and symptoms, asking if Yang Fan had heard of it.

Yang Fan listened carefully; he also thought, the person opposite him was Emperor Taizong of Tang. If he could get something from him, wouldn't the money for his and his grandmother's illness be settled?

"I don't understand what you are saying, but I have recorded what you just said. I will go and make an appointment with a specialist to ask for you."

Emperor Taizong of Tang nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn't know what recording was, the other party didn't agree immediately but went to ask a professional, which made him feel comforted.

He knew that professional matters should be handled by professionals.

"Help me send some silver to that doctor, so he will carefully diagnose my Empress Zhangsuns nickname."

Emperor Taizong of Tang was afraid the other party wouldn't be reliable, so he prepared to give some benefits.

"Silver is not worth much in our era."

Yang Fan rubbed his hands excitedly when he heard the other party giving money. Oh my, this Emperor Taizong of Tang was really on the ball.

Emperor Taizong of Tang smiled when he saw the other party's appearance. This was a money-grubber.

"Then what about gold? Is that acceptable?"

Yang Fan nodded like a chick pecking at rice; that would be too good.

"Wait a moment, I don't have silver on me."

As he spoke, he disappeared directly.

In a short while, he brought out a plate with 10 pieces of gold on it.

Emperor Taizong of Tang took out one piece and pushed it to Yang Fan from the stone table.

"Use this one to find a good doctor for consultation. As for the medicine, use the remaining gold to exchange with you."

Yang Fan picked up the gold and weighed it; it was quite heavy.

He looked at it; the words "Made in the Zhenguan Era of the Great Tang" were written on it, and the gold was curved on both sides, thin in the middle.

"How many grams is this?"

"Grams?"

"This one is 10 taels!"

(1 jin in the Tang Dynasty is 16 taels = 248 grams, which means 1 tael is 15.5 grams.)

(Currently, 1 tael = 50 grams.)

Although Emperor Taizong of Tang didn't know what a gram was, seeing Yang Fan's appearance, he should be asking about the weight.

Yang Fan swallowed his saliva.

He was worthy of being an emperor. He had just said that fighting a war was an astronomical figure, and now he took out 100 taels of gold to buy medicine.

It seemed he was still very rich.

"Don't worry, although I don't know what the illness is, I know that for your Empress Zhangsuns nickname's illness, our medical level will definitely not let her die."

Yang Fan said a reassuring sentence; since he had taken people's money, he naturally had to make people feel at ease, right?

He had been rash just now; how could he have spoken to the God of Wealth like that?

"It was my rashness just now. It was my slip of the tongue to say you didn't do proper work."

"Actually, your evaluation in later generations is quite high."

"In the thousands of years of feudal dynasties, you have a place among the emperors through the ages."

Emperor Taizong of Tang's mouth twitched; it really was rash, but the word "die" really didn't sound good.

He changed his tune immediately after taking the money; he really was a person who wouldn't release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

He only said nice things after taking the money; he had just accused him earlier.

"Does that mean you know how long Empress Zhangsuns nickname's lifespan is?"

Emperor Taizong of Tang hadn't reacted to Yang Fan's 180-degree turn; earlier, he had even doubted himself.

He was thinking about whether he should wipe out more small countries in the future to increase the territory and make the evaluation of later generations a little better.

He hadn't expected that Yang Fan, this guy, would take the money and then have a different set of rhetoric. He didn't know which one to believe.

Yang Fan took out his mobile phone and checked.

"July 28, 626 AD, which is the tenth year of Zhenguan."

Emperor Taizong of Tang saw with his own eyes that Yang Fan took out a strange object, tapped it, and knew the death date of his Empress Zhangsuns nickname, and it was accurate to that day.

Calculating the date, there were less than three months left.

"Can you lend me that object in your hand to take a look?"

Emperor Taizong of Tang thought to himself, could this be the existence of the Book of Life and Death?
