The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 112 A Master of Both Literature and Martial Arts!

Li Shimin looked at Xiao Ran in disbelief; these were things that Li Shimin, a feudal emperor, could not have imagined.

Li Shimin admitted that he could not do these things.

Li Shimin acknowledged this.

"I truly cannot do these things, and I am ashamed of my inferiority," Li Shimin frankly admitted.

“This is a limitation of the times, and Your Majesty cannot do this.” Xiao Ran also knew that if these things were done in the Tang Dynasty, there would definitely be trouble.

It's not suitable for this era.

"How is his literary talent?" Li Shimin asked, unwilling to give up.

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Shimin with sincere eyes and said, "He can recite poetry and songs with ease."

"Among the countless literati in China, there are those with his talent, but none of them possess the unique imperial spirit and magnanimity that he has."

"Those who possess the spirit of an emperor often lack his talent."

"His poems and lyrics contain both grand praise for the magnificent landscape and deep concern for the hardships of the people."

"It can showcase both lofty ambitions to change the world and subtle emotional expressions."

“Each poem tells the story of an era, making readers feel excited and at the same time feeling the profound cultural heritage and humanistic sentiments. Its unique charm is unparalleled.”

Li Shimin considered himself to be quite talented in literature and a well-read person.

Xiao Ran's words made Li Shimin lose confidence.

"He can write with the imperial grandeur of 'The truly great men are those of today,' and with the delicate sentiment of 'The chrysanthemums on the battlefield are especially fragrant.'"

"In the Battle of Hulao Pass, His Majesty not only had to strategize and win battles from afar, but also led his troops into battle. His poems contain both the military decisiveness of 'pursuing the enemy with the remaining strength' and the poetic tenderness of 'thousands of willow branches in the spring breeze'."

"His poems do not contain the aloofness of an emperor who 'cherishes every moment when he is successful and forgets to value even a small piece of jade' in His Majesty's 'Ode to the Imperial Capital'. Instead, they are full of the sentiment of 'awakening millions of workers and peasants'."

"This style of writing, which blends the grandeur of an emperor with the perspective of ordinary people, may well be the mark of that era a thousand years later."

Li Shimin could sense the admiration and respect in Xiao Ran's eyes, but Li Shimin was still unwilling to give up. "As the one who ended the chaotic era and the one who created a new era, his military skills must be top-notch!"

Military affairs were also an advantage for Li Shimin, and he was confident in his abilities.

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I don't know anything about military matters, but I've heard other people talk about them."

"In terms of military talent, he is equally outstanding. He is like a chess player who plans the world, and every move he makes is full of hidden meanings, unexpected yet extremely precise."

"In the long history of warfare in China, there have been many who were brilliant military strategists, but few could integrate military affairs with politics and public sentiment as perfectly as he did."

"Those who are good at using troops often focus only on the application of tactics, but ignore the power of the people behind the war."

"But he knew very well that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the people are the foundation of victory in war."

"He led an unprecedented army that was able to not take a single needle or thread from the people. Your Majesty, do you think the Tang army can do that?"

Li Shimin shook his head, "I can't have an army like that. Their military discipline is indeed very strict."

"An army with such strict discipline must be very powerful in combat!" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Your Majesty probably doesn't quite understand the weapons from over a thousand years later; the difference in weaponry is enormous."

"How should I put it?" Xiao Ran pondered how to use a metaphor to make Li Shimin understand the difference.

"When King Wu of Zhou attacked King Zhou of Shang, eight hundred feudal lords gathered at Mengjin, relying on bronze spears and chariots. Meanwhile, the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty was already equipped with bright armor and horizontal swords. The difference between these two is like the difference between our weapons and those of our enemies a thousand years later."

Li Shimin was shocked, "Is the difference really that big?"

"Perhaps even more. The weapons of a thousand years from now are so different from those of today that Your Majesty cannot understand them no matter how I explain them. Your Majesty will understand in the future."

"He defeated his opponents in a battle that seemed impossible to win, making other opponents dare not underestimate us. After that, our ground forces were undoubtedly number one."

Hearing this, Li Shimin felt relieved and said, "Good, that's great!"

Now Li Shimin realized that she was no less talented than him in literature and military affairs.

I'm convinced!
Let's not dwell on this issue anymore.

After all, they lived in different eras, so there were limitations. The little princess came running back excitedly, "Little Nang-jun~ Take me to play with toy cars~"

Li Lizhi quickly followed, "Sizi, Grandpa and the young master have something to do and cannot be disturbed."

"Your Majesty, we can talk about this later. I'm going to play with Sizi now." Xiao Ran got up and left.

Li Shimin nodded, "Go!"

"Hehe~" This made the little princess very happy.

Li Lizhi couldn't say anything more.

Li Shimin also got up and followed, and saw two different carriages.

This is much smaller than a go-kart.

Previously, others didn't know how, so they waited for Xiao Ran to teach them.

The little princess wants to play.

This isn't fast; the two little princesses can play by themselves.

easier.

"Little Nangjun~ How do you play with this car~" The little princess tugged at Xiao Ran.

"This is very simple." Xiao Ran lifted the little princess into the Mercedes-Benz and began to teach her.

The little princess is smart and learns things very quickly.

I'll be able to drive it myself soon.

This made the little girl incredibly excited.

Princess Chengyang learned it very quickly.

You can drive this; for now, go-karting doesn't hold much appeal for the two little princesses.

"Hehe~ Fun~"

Seeing the two little princesses happy made everyone else happy too.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun's goodwill towards Xiao Ran was largely due to Xiao Ran's doting on his two little princesses.

Because of this, Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin had even more goodwill towards Xiao Ran.

"I must go to the Taiji Hall now," Li Shimin said, patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder, and then left.

Xiao Ran did not regard Li Shimin as emperor, and Li Shimin did not regard Xiao Ran as a subject or a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Ran and Empress Zhangsun and the others returned to the table and sat down.

The palace maid watched the two little princesses play.

Li Lizhi asked a palace maid to brew Xiao Ran a cup of green tea.

Xiao Ran looked at it and asked, "Is this green tea?"

The main problem is that I don't drink tea, so I don't know what's going on.

"Yes, these are the ones that the young master gave to Grandpa before. Grandpa thought they were good, so he sent some over for Grandpa to try," Li Lizhi explained with a smile.

"Your Highness, do you like it?" Xiao Ran asked Empress Zhangsun.

"It's quite good, a rare drink, but I wonder how much it costs," Empress Zhangsun asked.

"The prices range from very expensive to very cheap, and there are many different kinds. If you are interested, you can send over some different kinds."

"So many kinds?" Li Lizhi was delighted and wanted to see the others.

"Hmm, I don't usually drink it, so I don't know much about it."
