Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi were a little clumsy, but the little princess really liked this feeling.
"Grandpa, I want to play too!" Princess Chengyang was a little envious of the little princess.
Princess Yuzhang walked over and said, "Let me do it!"
Li Shimin and Princess Yuzhang also helped Princess Chengyang up the stairs. Princess Gaoyang carried the power strips on her back and held Empress Zhangsun's arm.
Even now, Princess Gaoyang still hasn't figured out why she brought an extension cord to Mount Tai.
Seeing the Tang and Han flags, a young man came over and asked, "Are you a history buff?"
Apart from this reason, I can't think of any other.
"Ah, yes, yes!" Xiao Ran nodded. "I really like history, especially the Tang and Han dynasties!"
"Me too, this uncle likes the Tang Dynasty!" The young man looked at Li Shimin and couldn't help but look at Princess Yuzhang and Princess Chengyang twice.
"Yes, what about you? Do you like the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin asked back.
"I don't like it. I like big men!" The young man pointed at the flag Xiao Ran was holding.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, and Li Shimin's face looked unhappy.
"How is our Tang Dynasty inferior to the Han Dynasty?" Li Shimin was slightly unhappy.
"I like Emperor Wu of Han and his tough and sturdy style."
"The Tang Dynasty is not bad either. Li Shimin is the Heavenly Khan!" Li Shimin boasted.
With Xiao Ran and others around, Li Shimin remained calm and composed.
"The Li Tang dynasty was too chaotic. Li Shimin was a barbarian. The Li Tang dynasty was not a pure Han Chinese. I can't like them."
Xiao Ran hurriedly pulled Li Shimin, fearing that Li Shimin would beat the young man directly.
When it comes to the chaos of the Li Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin has nothing good to say, but when it comes to this, Li Shimin can't tolerate it.
"Hmph, nonsense! Total nonsense!" Li Shimin had no good feelings towards the young man. This was because this was not the Tang Dynasty. If it were the Tang Dynasty, this young man would have been dragged away and would have been skinned alive if not dead.
As a great leader, Li Shimin had a strong sense of self-esteem and pride in his family and dynasty.
This was the first time Li Shimin had heard such remarks, and he found it hard to believe. After all, in his time, the concept and division of ethnicity were different from those of modern times. The Li Tang royal family had always regarded themselves as the orthodox Chinese, emphasizing their Han identity and cultural heritage.
Li Shimin certainly did not agree with this statement, which made him very annoyed and angry.
"Li Shimin is a Hu person. The feudal society is patriarchal. Which good person taught you to judge like this? The Li Tang royal family is the Longxi Li family, so how can they become Hu people?" Xiao Ran was also unhappy with such remarks.
"That's right. Li Yuan's queen, Li Shimin's biological mother was a Hu person, and Empress Zhangsun was also a Hu person. Doesn't the later ones have Hu bloodline?" The young man was also unconvinced and argued.
"Why don't you say that Kangxi was a Han Chinese? Kangxi's mother was also a Han Chinese, so why don't you say that the Qing Dynasty was a Han Chinese dynasty?" Xiao Ran continued to confront the young man.
Li Shimin continued:
"The Li Tang royal family, the Longxi Li clan, has served as Han ministers for generations and served as protectors of the Central Plains. The blood of the Li Tang clan flows with the soul of the Han dynasty. What right do you have to question them without reason?"
"My Li Tang dynasty is based on Han culture, practices Han systems, uses Han rituals, speaks Chinese, wears Han clothing, and inherits Chinese civilization. How can we not be a Han dynasty? My world belongs to China, and all my people are my subjects. How can there be any distinction between Han and Hu?"
"Ahem!" Xiao Ran broke into a cold sweat. Li Shimin was getting angry.
It can be seen that Li Shimin is very angry now.
Li Shimin also reacted, "Emperor Taizong's achievements created the prosperous Tang Dynasty. His prestige resonated throughout the world, and all nations came to pay tribute, all admiring the might of China. Emperor Taizong, as a Han Chinese, fulfilled the responsibility of the Son of Heaven and led the world. How dare you deny the legitimacy of the Li Tang Dynasty based on the theory of bloodline!"
"Since ancient times, China has been a land of tolerance and inclusiveness, with ethnic integration being the prevailing trend. Although the Li Tang royal family intermarried with the Xianbei, Emperor Taizong always maintained his Han identity, upholding the Han tradition, governing the country and benefiting the people."
"The ancestors of the Li Tang clan may have intermarried with other ethnic groups, but in their hearts, they always upheld the respect and inheritance of Han culture. The breadth and depth of Han culture cannot be covered by the mere theory of bloodline!"
Li Shimin spoke with such indignation that the young man was frightened.
Li Shimin looked a little scary and had an extraordinary aura.
The young man was slightly embarrassed. "Yes, yes, you are right."
The young man was also afraid. If an ordinary person faced Li Shimin, he would definitely lose in momentum, let alone a young man.
"Huh! This is outrageous!" Li Shimin became angrier the more he thought about it.
"Uncle, don't think too much." Xiao Ran comforted Li Shimin.
Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi and others were unaware of this matter before.
They were all unhappy because they were all members of the Li Tang royal family, and the two little princesses were ignorant.
"Xiao Ran, are there many people who think this way?"
"Yes, there are quite a few. They like to say that the Li Tang dynasty has Hu blood and is not a pure Han dynasty."
"Narrow-minded! Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother. It's not worth it. Those people have never stood in my shoes. How can they understand the scenery I see? How dare they judge my achievements?"
Li Shimin exudes domineering aura.
"Uncle, there are many people who like the Tang Dynasty, but there are also many who don't. Some even say Zhuge Liang's military abilities were inadequate, and that Yang Guang was an emperor of the ages, his sins in his own time but his achievements for generations to come. This is all very normal. Everyone has different opinions and perceptions, and it's difficult to be liked by everyone."
It is said that Li Shimin and Li Tang are not Han people, which really makes Li Shimin feel a little upset.
I am indeed angry!
"Hold me, little sac~" The little princess really couldn't walk anymore.
Xiao Ran picked up the little princess, "Okay!"
The little princess took out a candy from her bag, "Grandpa~ Don't be angry~ Seven candies~"
The little princess could also see that Li Shimin was unhappy, so she gave him some candy.
The old father was very touched and said, "Okay, our Sizi is so thoughtful."
Because Li Shimin was holding the flag of the Tang Dynasty, many people who were interested in history would approach him.
This is the first time I see someone carrying this kind of flag on Mount Tai.
"Brother, you like the Tang Dynasty too! Holding this flag, you must like it!" Another man came. Most men like history.
"Yes! I just like the Tang Dynasty!" Hearing the other party say "yes", Li Shimin's favorability towards the man also increased sharply.
"I like it too. The Tang Dynasty was a place people yearned for. They would fight anyone they disliked, and they were unrivaled at the time. They were open, tolerant, and confident. These were truly remarkable..."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes." Li Shimin felt happy.
"Emperor Taizong of Tang was good in every way, except for the Xuanwu Gate Incident."
Xuanwu Gate Li Shimin was also very sensitive, "What happened to Xuanwu Gate?"
"It was because of Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate Incident that all subsequent power transfers in the Tang Dynasty were accompanied by bloody coups. These were all started by Li Shimin..."
"Nonsense! How could it be me...how could it be Emperor Taizong of Tang?" Li Shimin was defeated again!
