Xiao Ran looked at Li Lizhi and said, "Wu Niang, isn't the kindergarten homework a bit too much? Mingda and the others are still young, so this burden shouldn't be too heavy."

"It shouldn't be that serious. I've asked many parents before, and judging from the time they spend on feedback, it doesn't seem to be much!" Li Lizhi is also concerned about the completion status.

"That's good!"

"Aba Aba~" Doudou reached out to Xiao Ran.

Li Shimin reluctantly gave Doudou to Xiao Ran.

"Sister, Doudou must be as attached to me as Sizi is." Princess Yuzhang teased Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi smiled and noticed it as well.

"By the way, uncle, please find someone to clean up the nearby river. The deeper the water, the bigger it will be."

After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Li Shimin knew what it meant.

"Have you found what I wanted before?"

Xiao Ran hugged Doudou and said, "Sixth sister, please help me get my phone."

"good!"

Xiao Ran opened his cell phone and sent a few photos to Li Shimin.

"Hahaha, this is good, this is good..." Li Shimin looked at the photo, "Xiao Ran, is this difficult?"

"It should be OK! I don't know the details, but I'll find someone to go to school and use them to train the Tang Dynasty navy in the future."

"Good, good, with this, the good days of Goguryeo and Japan are over." Li Shimin was very excited and had to arrange the follow-up matters.

I have bullied people before, so it’s not too much to bully them a little more.

......

Li Chengqian came to the villa with the letter, "Grandpa, the envoy from Goguryeo has arrived and wants to see you!"

"No!" Li Shimin refused without thinking.

Li Shimin knew what Goguryeo was trying to do, which was nothing more than showing weakness and asking for peace.

The Tubo, Turkic, and Tuyuhun were destroyed too easily before, and other countries were more or less aware of the Tang Dynasty's hot weapons.

He must be afraid.

Now that the northwest and southwest have been cleared, the next one will definitely be the northeast.

Goguryeo was also aware that there were huge conflicts between itself and the Central Plains region.

Li Shimin had expected the arrival of envoys from Goguryeo.

"Grandpa, this is a letter from the King of Goguryeo." Li Chengqian handed the letter to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin held Doudou in his arms, not wanting to free his hands. "Da Lang, you read it!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

"For the record, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang:

"I have heard from afar that your majesty's divine power has spread far and wide, and the tribes in the western borders have either submitted or been annihilated. Your power is like a thunderbolt, and the whole world looks up to the greatness of the Tang Dynasty."

"Goguryeo lies in a remote region east of the sea. Although there were disagreements during the Sui Dynasty's turmoil, times have changed and we are willing to put aside past grudges. Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, your virtue has spread throughout the land. The people of Goguryeo, from top to bottom, have observed your kindness and have shown their loyalty to the Emperor, with no intention of disobeying him. The past is like clouds blown away by the wind, nothing to dwell on."

"I am sending a special envoy to express my sincere gratitude. I am willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty year after year. I am willing to provide all the products of our territory for your Majesty's needs. I only ask for your grace to allow Goguryeo to maintain a partial peace, protect its territory and its people, and establish eternal peace with the Tang Dynasty."

"We will strictly abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, restrain our subjects, and refrain from any border violations. We also hope that Tang merchants can communicate with Goguryeo, allowing the two regions to exchange trade and culture."

"I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty a long life, and may the Tang Dynasty prosper and benefit the world for generations to come."

Xiao Ran next to him was also amused. Goguryeo was very arrogant before.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, King Pingyuan of Goguryeo was ostensibly a vassal of the Sui Dynasty, but secretly recruited soldiers on a large scale, "trained troops and stored grain for defense and resistance", and was ready to fight against the Sui army at any time. This practice of lip service caused dissatisfaction in the Sui Dynasty.

The Goguryeo army and Mohe soldiers, totaling more than 10,000 people, took the initiative to attack the Liaoxi region of the Sui Dynasty, posing a direct threat to the border security of the Sui Dynasty.

The three expeditions during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui resulted in heavy losses and even led to the collapse of the Sui Dynasty.

If the Sui Dynasty had not suffered heavy losses and wasted a lot of national strength in the three expeditions to Goguryeo, it would not have collapsed so quickly.

Li Shimin looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "Did Goguryeo cause trouble later during the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, quite a few." Xiao Ran couldn't remember the specific number, so he took out his cell phone to check.

"Yes. In the 16th year of the Zhenguan reign, Yeon Gaesomun killed Queen Yeongryu of Goguryeo and established Ko Baozang as king, appointing himself as regent of Molizhi. This action attracted the attention of the Tang Dynasty. My uncle believed that he was rebellious and posed a challenge to the Tang Dynasty's ruling order in Northeast Asia."

"Later, my uncle, you personally led the army to attack Goguryeo. Although you didn't fail and the losses weren't great, you didn't take the city. You captured many cities, but the Tang army withdrew, so those cities must have been taken in vain."

"In the Battle of Snake River, Yeon Gaesomun annihilated the Tang army in Okju Province and killed Pang Xiaotai and his 13 sons, causing heavy losses to the Tang army."

"Hmph! I definitely can't stay in Goguryeo. From now on, I can only live in the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin looked at Zhang Ananda beside him and said, "Write a reply to Goguryeo!"

Zhang Ananda got some paper and pen to record it.

Li Shimin then said: "I have received the mandate of Heaven and am now the ruler of the Tang Dynasty. My ambition is to reach all corners of the world and to seek only peace and prosperity for all nations."

"The people of the Sui Dynasty were also descendants of the Chinese people, connected by blood. How could we neglect them? Goguryeo's past actions brought devastating suffering to the people, and their crimes are obvious."

"Although you have pledged your allegiance, these empty words are insufficient proof of your sincerity. If you could personally travel to Chang'an, bring the whole nation's sincerity, and offer your land as a token of your loyalty, this would truly be in accordance with Heaven's will. I will treat you with grace and respect, granting you a chance to live, allowing Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty to merge into one, and share the blessings of peace."

"Otherwise, my heavenly army will surely exalt its might in the eastern seas. Do not say I did not warn you."

Xiao Ran's blood boiled after hearing this. What he said was so domineering!

"Dalang, let the envoy go back. This matter is not negotiable. I do not accept tribute. The Tang Dynasty will not accept it and will not allow it."

"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. This land can only have one voice, and that is the voice of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Chengqian responded quickly.

At this moment, Li Shimin no longer looked like a nanny or a wise and capable emperor.

Li Chengqian did not stay in the villa and returned to Chang'an City. The Goguryeo envoys would soon be expelled from Chang'an City.

"Xiao Ran, the Tang Dynasty has developed so rapidly, and you have made an indelible contribution. Even if I give you a title of king, it cannot make up for your contribution. I will grant you a fiefdom!"

"Uncle, that's not necessary!" Xiao Ran waved his hand. "I'm not interested in this. I'm very satisfied with my life now. There's no need for a fiefdom. It will leave a hidden danger of instability for those who come after me."

Li Shimin asked Zhang Ananda to bring the map, opened it and pointed, "How about I give it to you here!"

Xiao Ran was speechless. "Uncle, this isn't from the Tang Dynasty. Why are you bringing it so far for me?"

What Li Shimin wanted to give Xiao Ran was the American continent.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask, is the country here strong now?"
