"On New Year's Day, so many people came to see you, you should be very happy."
"There has never been such a person before. It's hard to say whether there will be another emperor like you in the future."
"My appearance has changed so much of history that I don't even know what dynasty will follow the Tang Dynasty."
"If you were still here, you would probably get angry with me again after hearing what I said. Your Tang Dynasty will not be destroyed, right?"
"Your influence and prestige are much higher than I expected. Master Zhang Ananda has also gone to accompany you, as has General Jie Li, whom you captured to dance with. You two should be getting along very well over there."
"You can also see Uncle Du Ruhui, the one you've been thinking about so much. It's a pity that I came too late and didn't see Uncle Du Ruhui. If I had come earlier, he might not have left so early."
"I thought a lot of things had changed, but a lot also remained the same. Uncle Tang Jian's epitaph still didn't forgive Uncle Li Jing!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran felt quite helpless.
"Mingda and the others were grieving for a long time. Mingda's second sister hid in her room and cried several times, until her pillow was stained with tears."
"I should come to see you later."
"I'm just an ordinary person. You and Auntie always feel like you owe me too much, but in fact, you don't owe me anything. If I hadn't met you Mingda, I would have been an ordinary person living a mediocre life, waiting to die. Meeting you has made my life less boring."
"It also made me a lot of money, more than I could spend in several lifetimes."
"All this money is in the Tang Dynasty. I didn't take it back."
"I'm happy to do something for the Tang Dynasty. I'm a Tang fan."
"You know this, uncle."
"Besides, I'm the consort of the Tang Dynasty. These are things I never dared to think about before."
"Now I like Datang more and more, and I don't want to go back. I don't have any ties there anymore."
"It's a pity that you two left, aunt, otherwise it would have been great."
Xiao Ran muttered to himself for a long time, pouring cup after cup of wine in front of Li Shimin's tomb.
"Uncle, you have always been the emperor I admire and love the most, always..."
After finishing a bottle of wine, Xiao Ran knelt down and saluted the tombstone.
"Aunt, I received the New Year's money you gave me. It's too much. You have saved it for so many years."
"My uncle is such a stingy guy. He doesn't even let go of other uncles' money. He might feel bad if he gave it all to me!"
"I will use this money for the elderly and women. Let's set up a foundation in the name of my aunt and uncle! We will help women and the elderly in need. It will be enough for the children."
"Let the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future remember Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Even though Empress Wende is gone, she still remembers them."
Xiao Ran would complain about Li Shimin, and before the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian was also angry but dared not speak out against Li Shimin.
But as for Empress Changsun, everyone around her was convinced and had nothing to say.
Xiao Ran stood up and said, "I'm really reluctant to leave..."
Xiao Ran had not taken a few steps when he saw Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang and others arriving.
More and more people are coming to Zhaoling.
Many people still cried very sadly.
It was not that they were treated unfairly or wronged, but simply that they could not bear to leave Li Shimin.
"Alang!" Li Lizhi walked up to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran nodded and saw that the little princess next to him had red eyes. Even after a few months, the little princess would still cry from time to time when she thought of Empress Changsun and Li Shimin.
"Let's go worship first!" Xiao Ran rubbed Qian Duoduo's little face.
"Brother, aren't you going?" asked Princess Yuzhang.
"I won't go, you guys go!"
"good!"
Li Chengqian also brought many civil and military officials to the scene. Many people wanted to come and see Li Shimin's Empress Zhangsun, but no one expected so many people to come.
Li Chengqian asked the others to go away and walked over to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran did not salute. It would have been really awkward for two people of such a close relationship to salute.
"His Majesty!"
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I didn't expect so many people to come. I thought I'd wait until I was almost done with my work, and then I'd come to see Grandpa and Mom by myself and talk to them."
Li Chengqian had the same idea as Xiao Ran.
"What a coincidence, everyone thinks the same." Xiao Ran looked at Li Chengqian, "You seem a little weak, maybe you've been overworked! You shouldn't do everything alone. Now that you've appointed a crown prince, let him do it! Learn from your uncle and enjoy a peaceful life while the crown prince governs the country!"
"I now seem to understand why Grandpa was dissatisfied with me before. Compared to him, I am indeed far inferior."
"Your Majesty, don't belittle yourself. You've done a great job!"
"It makes me angry to see the crown prince now. He is so far inferior to me and does not meet my expectations of an heir at all. How can I be confident in handing over the Tang Dynasty to such a crown prince?" Li Chengqian was very worried about this matter.
"Your Majesty, you are not an ordinary prince. You are one of the four most unhappy princes. You are stronger than most of them."
"Four..." Li Chengqian smiled, "One should be the first emperor's eldest son Fusu..."
"Emperor Wu's eldest son Liu Ju..." Xiao Ran added.
"Another thing is that you were Zhu Biao, the Prince Yiwen of the Ming Dynasty before!" Li Chengqian had read history books and was not unfamiliar with these things.
"Um!"
"I'm luckier than them, so I've made up for my regrets." Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Ran, "How lucky I am to have met this young master!"
"Your Majesty, don't say that. I didn't do anything."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to stay as regent for this long, nor would I have been able to ascend the throne. Under normal circumstances, I would have rebelled and been deposed, and would have died on the road long ago!"
"None of this is going to happen."
"I want to hurry up and fulfill my grandfather's long-cherished wish. We're almost there yet. By then, I can see him and my mother in the afterlife and give my testimony."
"Your Majesty, please don't say these things."
"Although I have only been on the throne for a few months, I have been regent for over twenty years. I am satisfied with this, but it is indeed very tiring. I know very well that no matter what I do, I will never be as good as my grandfather. He is the only emperor who will be remembered for generations."
"Emperors like my uncle can be counted on one hand. He is not an ordinary person."
"Being his minister is good. He treats his meritorious officials well, and he treats his children well, but being his crown prince is not good. This kind of pressure is really crushing. I didn't feel it before, but now I feel it. Many people don't say it, but in their hearts they compare me with my grandfather. Once the comparison is made, it's obvious who is better. How can I compare with him! No matter how hard I try, I can't surpass this mountain of my grandfather. I can only think that I am his son, and it is a matter of pride to have such a father."
There are not many people that Li Chengqian can talk to like this, and Xiao Ran has always been one of them.
