Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

In the third year of Zhenguan, summer.

Chang'an City, Jingzhao Prefecture Prison.

The dim sunlight shone through the narrow window into the dilapidated prison cell, bringing the only warmth to the cold and desolate prison cell.

In the messy straw pile, a handsome young man stared at the ground with a dull look, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.

"I am...Traveled through time?"

Looking around and then looking at the prison uniform he was wearing, Li Nian was sure that he had traveled through time.

"Damn it, God, I curse you to be pointed at by others for the rest of your life!"

After seeing his situation clearly, Li Nian broke down and cursed loudly with his finger pointed at his head.

Others who traveled through time either became emperors or princes, or at least the sons of high-ranking officials. But it was different for me, I traveled through time and became a prisoner.

What a shocking start!

After cursing loudly in the cell until his throat was hoarse, Li Nian panted and nestled in a corner to rest.

"No, I have to find a way to change the status quo!"

Li Nian patted his face and calmed down.

The time-travel journey that he had been thinking about turned out like this!

Li Nian was in a terrible mood now.

As the saying goes, since you are here, you can't change the facts.

In this case, you can only accept the facts.

Squatting on the ground, Li Nian closed his eyes and began to accept the memory of this body.

The owner of this body was also called Li Nian. His parents had died, and he came to Chang'an to seek refuge with his relatives.

However, not long after arriving in Chang'an, he spent all his money and became a refugee.

It was the emperor's birthday and the whole country was celebrating. Chang'an City naturally could not accommodate so many refugees, so it ordered Jingzhao Prefecture to drive out refugees in and outside Chang'an.

Li Nian was one of them, but this guy was seriously ill and unable to walk. In the end, he was caught by Jingzhao Prefecture and thrown into this big prison to avoid disturbing the emperor.

"Damn, this guy's life story is really miserable!"

After reading these memories, Li Nian shook his head helplessly.

The death of both parents means that there is no way to rely on the elderly.

In ancient times, it was definitely more important to make a choice than to work hard.

If you are born in a rich family, you will never have to worry about food and drink, but if you are born in a commoner family, you will have a life of hard work.

This guy is so good that he doesn't even have parents. He is directly a refugee.

What is a refugee? That's an illegal household!

Not recognized by the court at all. Can he take the imperial examination? Do business? That's impossible. Even if he wants to farm, it's impossible. For this kind of illegal household, no one cares about his life or death.

Well, I've got a bowl to start with. Now I have a way!

Just as I was worried, I heard a yamen runner knocking on the wooden fence with a stick outside the cell.

"Hey, you're still alive, I thought you were dead!"

The yamen runner was surprised to see that Li Nian was still alive.

"" Sir, please tell me when can you let me out?"

Li Nian straightened his clothes and asked with a smile.

There was no other way. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!

The yamen runner said unhappily:"How should I know this? You refugees will be a nuisance if you are released. You'd better stay here!""

"Look at those guys next door, they at least have two kids in their hands, so they can survive after they get out!"

"With your poor appearance, who knows if you will steal or rob if you are released, and then I will have to catch you back again!"

Hearing this, Li Nian's eyes turned and he immediately understood.

This is to ask for money!

He searched all over his body, but didn't find even a copper coin.

Seeing what Li Nian was looking for, the yamen runner also stopped and waited on the side.

Seeing that Li Nian had been groping for a long time, he immediately lost his patience.

"Forget it, you poor boy, forget about going out, prepare to die here!"

Li Nian touched the pendant on his neck and said quickly:"Sir, I don't have anything good, just this pendant, do you think you can still close your eyes?"

Reaching out to take the pendant, the yamen runner smiled and nodded.

"You are a smart kid. Wait, I will let you out tomorrow!"

Seeing the yamen runner take the jade pendant, Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in the haystack.

"I just wonder what kind of character this ancient person had?"

Li Nian muttered to himself, holding his chin.

As for the yamen runner, as soon as he got out of the prison, he couldn't wait to take the jade pendant out of his arms and carefully examined it.

The prison cell was dark and it was impossible to see clearly. Only then did the yamen runner see the jade pendant clearly.

The jade pendant was milky white and the workmanship was very delicate. In the center, there was a golden dragon carved with gold.

""Oh my god, a golden dragon!"

Seeing this thing, the yamen runner was so scared that he almost wet his pants.

Dragons have been used by the royal family since ancient times. Who dares to use it? It is a great crime to kill all nine generations of the family. Even the ant nest at the door must be poured with boiling water three times.

Yes, it is so cruel!

Not to mention the golden dragon, which is a thing of the emperor. It is a sin to even look at the dragon-shaped pendant!

"I have to report to the Lord!"

The yamen runner carefully held the golden dragon pendant and crawled into the government office.

In the magnificent government office, Jingzhao prefect Wei Ao was smiling and carefully pouring tea for Zhangsun Wuji beside him.

"The uncle of the emperor is here in person today. I should not feel honored."

"Please try this top-quality pre-rain tea!"

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly,"Well, good tea!"

Wei Ao said with a shy smile,"The king's uncle likes it. I'll send more to your mansion in the future."

Putting down the teacup, Changsun Wuji shook his head and said,"Forget it. A gentleman does not take away what others love. I came here today to see the rebels. Your Majesty is very concerned about this matter!"

"Don't worry, uncle. Those people are being held in the prison. Nothing has happened to them!"

As they were talking, they saw the little yamen runner hurriedly coming to the hall.

"Sir, something happened!"

Seeing his subordinates so panicked, Wei Ao's face changed and he scolded,"How dare you be so panicked in front of the king's uncle? Come on, take him out and beat him with thirty sticks!"

"Hey, Lord Wei, let's hear what this little yamen runner has to say. It's not too late to deal with him later!"

Chang Sun Wuji smiled and swallowed a mouthful of tea, and said.

The little yamen runner wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Wei Ao with fear.

"Since the king's uncle has spoken, I will spare you this time!"

Wei Ao frowned and said in a low voice:"Tell me, what happened?"

The young yamen runner respectfully presented the jade pendant he got from Li Nian and said:"Someone is plotting a rebellion!"

""Rebellion?"

Hearing these two words, Wei Ao and Zhang Sun Wuji were both very nervous.

This was a serious crime that would lead to the extermination of the entire clan. Even if there was any sign, they would be arrested and tortured.

""I got this from a prisoner in the prison. Please take a look!"

Wei Ao stepped forward and grabbed the jade pendant. After a closer look, he broke out in a cold sweat.

The golden dragon carvings on it were something only used by the emperor!

"" Uncle of the King, please take a look at it!"

As he said that, he handed the jade pendant to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji took it, and just a glance at it, his face suddenly changed!

Suddenly, he stood up and shouted in a very shocking voice:"Where is the person holding this jade pendant now?"......
