"I thought about the time long ago when Mingda drove a go-kart to Lizheng Hall."
Li Shimin also laughed, "I still remember it clearly. You little bastard didn't even wake up early. The battery ran out. I thought it was broken, and I felt guilty for a long time."
"Uncle, what should I say? Why didn't you ask?" Xiao Ran pushed Li Shimin out of the Lizheng Hall.
"Sizi, that little girl, was so young at that time. When she saw the kart stopped moving, she cried so hard, but she never blamed me at all. I felt better when she blamed me a few times. The more sensible she was, the more guilty I felt."
"And the girl named Er Niang also started crying when she saw Sizi." Li Shimin was deeply moved when talking about these old events.
"I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly, uncle!"
"I will never forget these things in my life."
While chatting, Xiao Ran took Li Shimin to the highest place in the palace, where they could overlook the city of Chang'an.
"Ananda!" Li Shimin shouted.
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Zhang Ananda hurried closer.
"Go get the map. I want to see what the latest Tang Dynasty territory looks like."
The Tang Dynasty expanded so quickly that the map had to be updated several times a year.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Ananda quickly brought the map and asked two eunuchs to unfold the map in front of Li Shimin.
But Li Shimin couldn't see clearly anymore, "I can't see clearly, come closer."
Xiao Ran felt a pang of sadness in his heart and felt very uncomfortable.
"Uncle, let me explain!" Xiao Ran pointed at the map. "Now the entire Eurasian continent belongs to the Tang Dynasty. These places have been set up as provinces and are actually under the control of the Tang Dynasty."
"Before, you said you would invest in developing America, and now it's almost there. The largest and fastest-growing one is Mingda's. This one belongs to Seventeen and Eleven, this one is mine, and there's also Changle's..."
America was divided up between Xiao Ran and several princesses and princes.
Many aristocratic families also participated and got a piece of the pie.
It is also part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The laws of the Tang Dynasty are applicable and there is no place outside the law.
This is the bottom line!
“Half of Africa has been taken now!”
Li Shimin frowned, "Why is it only halfway? Didn't it start before?"
"Uncle, the environment over there is harsh. It was very difficult in the desert before..." Xiao Ran explained, "Soon, in a year or two, this continent will belong to the Tang Dynasty."
"What's going on here? Why is it so small?" Li Shimin pointed to the Australian continent.
"Uncle, most of the area here is not suitable for human habitation. This area is now under the control of the Tang Dynasty. The areas over there are farther away and a bit troublesome."
"That's fine!" Li Shimin was very pleased. "Xiao Ran, according to what you said before, the sun never sets on the Tang Dynasty now, right?"
"It has already happened. We have conquered Europe and America. Now the Tang Dynasty has only one voice, and that is the voice of the Tang Dynasty. Previously, Xue Rengui planted the Tang Dynasty flag on the pyramid."
"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed heartily. "Xue Rengui is quite good. He has truly inherited Li Jing's true teachings. General Li has passed on his life's unique skills to Xue Rengui. It's a pity that I will never see General Li again... General Li..."
Li Shimin suddenly became sad.
"No, uncle, why are you crying again!" Xiao Ran was also helpless, "Uncle, stop it!"
"They're all gone! These old guys are all walking ahead of me!"
Due to the influence of modern medical technology, the life expectancy of most people has increased.
However, most of them did not survive Li Shimin and died before him. These people were also much older than Li Shimin.
For example, Qin Qiong!
"Where's Sizi? Is he still in Luoyang? I haven't seen Doudou and the others for quite a while."
"Uncle, they are on their way and should be here in the next two days."
One day, the little princess suddenly understood the meaning of marriage and lay in Xiao Ran's arms crying sadly. After that, the little princess grew up and became much more sensible.
She has rarely been in Chang'an City in recent years, and has devoted all her attention to the work of the Children's Foundation. She wants to protect these babies.
Princess Chengyang learned a lot of pediatric knowledge from Princess Yuzhang and Sun Simiao. Over the years, the survival rate of babies in the Tang Dynasty has broken records every year.
All this is thanks to the little princess and her companions.
Li Ke, Li You and others also brought a lot of technology, and there are now traffic lights on Zhuque Street.
The population of Chang'an City has also increased several times compared to before.
As the sun sets in the west, Li Shimin looks quietly into the distance, "How can I not miss such a beautiful country..."
In the afterglow of sunset, Li Shimin looked even older.
This wise and capable emperor is also coming to the end of his life.
"Xiao Ran, you were once praised for your achievements in later generations, such as the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor. How about this of mine now?"
"Uncle, you are now the undisputed number one. This is the 'Empire on which the Sun Never Sets'. No emperor in history has ever been able to compare to you. There has never been one before, and it will be difficult for there to be another in the future."
"Hahaha! This life is enough! My Zhenguan Reign is far better than before!" Li Shimin pulled Xiao Ran's arm, "Help me up and walk!"
"Uncle, stop it!"
"I'm fine! Hurry up, little bastard!"
The more energetic Li Shimin seemed, the more uneasy Xiao Ran felt, fearing that this was a last gasp of glory.
"If God gives me another ten years, I want to go and see the territory of the Tang Dynasty myself."
"Uncle, didn't I take pictures and videos for you and come back?"
Many people have not been to the Central Plains, but they know the situation in other places, and now they can see photos and videos.
"That's different. It's almost the same."
The two walked towards Lizheng Hall, their silhouettes growing longer and longer behind them...
Princesses and princes from all over the country were rushing to Chang'an City, and the off-road vehicles on the official road were almost stepping on the accelerator into the fuel tank.
Li Shimin's condition was not good, so Li Chengqian telegraphed all his brothers and sisters.
Just as Xiao Ran expected, Li Shimin was indeed getting weaker and weaker. Now he couldn't even sit in a wheelchair and could only lie on the bed with an IV drip.
There are also several instruments moved from the medical school next to it.
As if in order to see other children, Li Shimin kept insisting.
Li Lizhi brought a graceful young girl into the Lizheng Hall, "Grandpa!"
"Grandfather!"
"Little Lizi is here!" Li Shimin took the girl's hand.
"Grandpa, please get well soon and take me out to play." Little Lizi said with a sob.
This is the first child of Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi. The little princess chose the name while eating chestnuts, and it cost her 100,000 strings of cash.
"Okay, Grandpa will play with Li Zi!"
Li Lizhi's eyes were red. "Grandpa, stop talking and just lie down."
"It's okay, it's okay... How long will it take for Sizidoudou..."
"Third aunt and youngest aunt will be here soon..."
