Bringing a Fast-Food Restaurant to Ancient Times

After hearing 'Qiuying's' explanation, Li Dong stared in disbelief and asked, "What! Wu Zetian's reign came after the Reign of Zhenguan, and before the vast empire of Emperor Gaozong's Xianqing era. That was clearly the glorious Tang! And they still managed to bring the country to ruin? What about Li Longji? Was he killed?"

'Qiuying' replied, "His whereabouts are currently unknown. He may be hiding somewhere in one of the two rival regimes in the south."

After hearing this, Li Dong thought for a long time, but still couldn't quite accept the fall of the glorious Tang. He sighed and said, "All right! If Wu Zetian doesn't pass the throne to the Wu family, it will eventually end up in Li Longji's hands. But his reputation is mixed. As the founder of the Kaiyuan Flourishing Age, we can't deny his achievements, but he really did destroy the glorious Tang himself. It started when he took his son's wife as his own, leading to that line, 'The spring nights are too short, the sun rises high; from then on, the emperor never attends morning court.' Then Li Linfu took control of the government. That wasn't so bad at first, but things went downhill under Yang Guozhong. And that's just one miserable mess after another. I don't want to serve this man. In his later years, he was simply too foolish and incompetent."

'Qiuying' continued explaining to Li Dong, "After the Wu clan took power, its members became extremely foolish and spent their days in a stupor. They also prioritized slaughtering members of the Li clan. Before long, the once-mighty Tang had plunged the entire land into chaos. Then a remarkable man named Chen Sheng led the rebelling commoners into Luoyang and founded the Chen Dynasty, named after his own surname. The current emperor is the second ruler of the dynasty. His name is Chen Zelong, and he is a wise ruler. He is governing with diligence and preparing to reunify the divided land of China."
