Since we were already at the hospital, we didn't rush back and stayed with Emperor Changsun for half a day.
The two little princesses have fallen asleep, and Xiao Ran is ready to go back. Now he doesn't have to worry about the hospital's affairs.
"Xiao Ran, come back later, I have something to tell you."
Empress Changsun suddenly spoke, and Xiao Ran was a little surprised.
There are also some differences between Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang.
The few of them were tactful enough not to stay and went back into the room.
"Aunt, what's the matter?" Xiao Ran sat down in front of the bed.
"Xiao Ran, this should be the world after the Tang Dynasty!"
Empress Changsun was quite direct.
Empress Changsun was not surprised to know Xiao Ran, but she did not expect it to happen so soon.
Both reasonable and unexpected.
It was not easy to fool people like Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, and they knew it was only a matter of time.
But Empress Changsun was indeed a bit too fast.
"Yes, it was more than a thousand years after the Tang Dynasty." Xiao Ran also admitted it frankly.
Many things have changed, but this is a parallel world and has no impact.
"So you know a lot about the Tang Dynasty, right?"
"To you, Auntie, I am from the future. This is the world more than a thousand years after the Tang Dynasty."
Empress Zhangsun nodded. "That's true. If you hadn't shown up, how much time would I have left?"
Empress Changsun was curious about this question.
"Almost three years. It's almost the seventh year of Zhenguan. My aunt passed away in the tenth year of Zhenguan."
"Three years...about what I expected." Empress Changsun seemed to accept it calmly and was mentally prepared.
"Life and death are determined by fate. It's a pity that these children are still young." What Empress Changsun was worried about were the princesses.
"According to historical records, after my aunt passed away, my uncle did not appoint another queen. You are his only queen. He even built a tall building in the palace to overlook your tomb."
Empress Changsun's eyes turned red and she was deeply moved.
I feel mixed emotions.
"My uncle even personally raised several princesses and princes. Mingda and the others were always by his side. Mingda is also the first princess clearly recorded to have been raised by the emperor himself."
Empress Changsun wiped her eyes and felt very uncomfortable.
I didn't expect Li Shimin to do this.
"Aunt, these are things that won't happen. Just listen to them and don't take them to heart."
"Xiao Ran, why do you dote on Sizi so much? You're nice to everyone else, but you dote on Sizi much more."
Princess Gaoyang and others could feel it, and Empress Changsun must have felt it too.
"Mingda...Mingda is a source of regret for many people."
"You're feeling so uncomfortable?" Empress Changsun didn't quite understand.
"Mingda's life was perfect except for your early passing, but it was short..."
"Short..." Empress Zhangsun understood instantly.
Empress Changsun must have felt uncomfortable knowing these things, but she also wanted to know.
"Do you know why?" Empress Changsun was also anxious to know.
"They're just sick. I don't know what the illness is, but it might be related to a genetic disease. You, aunt, have a respiratory disease, the emperor has a rheumatic disease, and my uncle also has a rheumatic disease, so the princesses and princes all have it to some extent."
These things about genetic diseases must be said.
Empress Changsun felt bad because she had given her children these diseases. "So it turned out that I gave my children these diseases..."
"Aunt, don't think like that. This kind of thing can't be controlled. You don't want this to happen..."
"Xiao Ran, how old is Sizisu?"
Empress Changsun really wanted to know.
"twelve..."
"Where's Li Zhi?"
"Twenty-three..."
Empress Changsun was heartbroken and had no intention of asking Princess Chengyang anymore.
These two daughters are obedient and sensible, I didn’t expect them to be so young.
"It won't happen this time."
"If I were no longer here, the matter of Dalang would have intensified and would have ended in disaster. Did Dalang not become emperor?"
"Well, the brothers were both defeated, and the prince took a desperate gamble and rebelled."
"Ah!" Empress Changsun was shocked. She really didn't expect Li Chengqian to rebel.
If you tell Li Shimin now that Li Chengqian will rebel, he probably won't believe it.
"My uncle didn't have the heart to kill him, he just demoted him. The King of Yue was also demoted."
"It was Zhinu. In the end, it was Zhinu who became the emperor?" Empress Changsun found it unbelievable, but this seemed to be the only explanation.
It's simply impossible for others.
Xiao Ran nodded.
Xiao Ran would not take the initiative to talk about Wu Zetian's later affairs. As an outsider, Xiao Ran thought that Wu Zetian was not very good. If Li Shimin's family heard about it, they would probably be furious.
Wu Zetian was not as good as emperors like Li Shimin, but she was more than capable than Li Xian and Li Dan.
These two brothers combined are no match for their mother, Wu Zetian.
Compared with the rule of Li Xian and Li Dan, Wu Zetian was definitely much stronger.
At least that's what Xiao Ran thought, but Li Shimin's family certainly didn't think so.
It is definitely not a glorious thing for the throne to be taken away by a woman.
The most important thing is that Wu Zetian killed too many people, and too many members of the Li Tang royal family were killed.
Except for the sons born to Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, all others who could have inherited the throne were basically eliminated by Wu Zetian.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the royal family became a financial burden, but this problem did not exist in the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian played an indispensable role in this.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the emperor fled nine times and the capital was captured six times. Each time was a massacre for the royal family.
How miserable!
Many members of the royal family could not escape, or too many of them were killed on the way.
"Aunt, Prince Jin has not disappointed my uncle. He is quite good and continues to expand the territory. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is the largest under his rule."
This made Empress Changsun feel very relieved. Her eldest and second sons did not get the throne due to internal strife, but fortunately the third son did not disappoint.
Many people complained that it was his inaction that led to Wu Zetian's chaotic rule. Compared with Wu Zetian's chaotic rule, Li Zhi was definitely more afraid of being sidelined.
In the early days of his reign, Li Zhi was almost marginalized by the Guanlong Group headed by Zhangsun Wuji. No matter how powerful Wu Zetian was, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Li family and the mother of the prince.
What Li Zhi didn't expect was that Wu Zetian would ascend the throne and become emperor at such an old age.
In his later years, Li Zhi suffered severely from rheumatism, and Wu Zetian had no choice but to take the throne.
Judging from the subsequent results, it was acceptable. The throne still belonged to the Li family and was not interrupted by Wu Zhou. The Tang Dynasty was still complete.
Empress Changsun did not ask about other matters as they had little to do with her and she did not care.
What Empress Changsun wanted to know was the situation of her children.
"I don't know how to thank you for what happened to Dalang and Erlang before!"
"Aunt, this is nothing, you're welcome..."
"I'll need your help with a lot of things in the future. If you need anything or have any conditions, please tell me."
Xiao Ran always felt that Empress Changsun was hinting at something.
