Chapter 272
"Will the Tang Dynasty reach this height?" Li Shimin was no longer confident.
Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi were also curious about why Xiao Ran said that.
"Yes, the Tang Dynasty will reach this height in the future."
Li Shimin was even more curious, "What basis do you have for saying that?"
"This is the inevitable trend of the development of the times!" Xiao Ran picked up the water cup in front of him, which was poured by Li Lizhi.
He drank slowly.
"The world's general trend is that long-term divisions will eventually unite, and long-term unites will eventually divide. This has always been the case. My uncle should be familiar with it."
"I naturally know this."
"The Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty are actually very similar."
"Why do you say that?" Li Shimin looked at Xiao Ran.
"There was a powerful dynasty in front of them that was short-lived, and before this short-lived dynasty, there was a chaotic era."
Before the Qin Dynasty, there was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which lasted for hundreds of years.
Before the Sui Dynasty, there was the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which also lasted for hundreds of years and were in a mess.
"You are right."
"After the chaos, there must be a great unification. The great unification of the Tang Dynasty is the general trend and the will of the people."
"Now the Tang Dynasty has completed the great unification. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely get better and better in the future. Why do you say it is stronger than the Han Dynasty?" Li Shimin was curious about this.
"Because there is an advantage that the Tang Dynasty has, but the Han Dynasty does not."
"What?"
"The great integration of ethnic groups from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the present!"
"Great integration of ethnic groups?" Li Shimin muttered to himself.
There should be no such concept now. Except for the Han people in the Central Plains, other ethnic groups are still foreign races!
"The great integration of ethnic groups has promoted the prosperity and development of this land. At the same time, it has also enabled the various ethnic groups to learn from each other, communicate with each other, and make common progress."
Li Shimin nodded, "That's right. Although the Han people are very strong, the Hu people and other ethnic groups also have their strengths. King Wuling of Zhao's Hu clothing and horse riding have given me a great impression."
"Yes, the great integration of ethnic groups is conducive to the development of civilization. It is a natural integration between ethnic groups. It is the result of the close connection between the economy, culture and living habits of ethnic groups."
"This is a progressive phenomenon. It has an economic promotion effect on the multi-ethnic countries from division to unity and development."
"Based on this point, the Han Dynasty cannot compare. After all, at that time, the exchanges between the Central Plains and the surrounding ethnic groups were actually very limited. The influence of the Silk Road was great, but it was not as great as the comprehensive integration of the Tang Dynasty now."
Li Shimin suddenly realized, "I haven't thought about this problem before. Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the case!"
Li Shimin is looking forward to the future of the Tang Dynasty.
"What kind of scene will the real Tang Dynasty be!" Li Shimin began to look forward to it.
"The nine-day gate opens to the palace, and the people of all nations bow to the emperor in their attire... that should be about right!"
"The nine-day gate opens to the palace, and the people of all nations bow to the emperor in their attire..." Li Lizhi's eyes lit up, and the picture was very vivid.
"Good poem!" Empress Changsun couldn't help but praise it.
In just a short sentence, it shows the grandeur and dignity of the scene and the dignity of the emperor.
The layers of palace gates are like the nine-story gates of heaven, opening in a long line, deep and magnificent, and the envoys of all nations bow down to the emperor's throne, majestic and solemn.
The nine-day gate is used to describe the emperor's residence, and the background of the "morning court" picture is outlined in a large brushstroke, with extraordinary momentum.
"The people of all nations bow to the emperor in their attire" marks the heyday of the empire.
The word "bow" is placed after "the people of all nations", using the contrast between the number of people and the number of people, and the position of the people and the people, highlighting the majesty of the empire and emphasizing the power of the empire.
"That's a good sentence." Xiao Ran would occasionally say something that amazed Li Shimin.
It really amazed Empress Changsun and Li Shimin.
They were all knowledgeable people, so they naturally understood the value and level of this poem.
This made Li Shimin look up to Xiao Ran a little.
"The nine-day gates of the palace are open, and people from all over the world pay homage to the crown..." Li Shimin couldn't wait to pick up the pen and write this poem on the rice paper.
"My Tang Dynasty will surely become such a prosperous era!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Shimin swept away his previous unhappiness.
Seeing Li Shimin so happy, Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi were also happy.
"Mother, it's getting late, let's go back."
Hearing the word "we", Li Shimin felt it was very harsh.
"Well, it's really getting late, it's okay to go back early."
Empress Changsun turned around and looked at the two little princesses on the bed.
The two little princesses were sleeping soundly.
Li Lizhi stood up, and Xiao Ran followed suit.
Li Lizhi walked over and picked up the little princess, while Yushu held Princess Chengyang.
Xiao Ran was about to drive, and Li Lizhi and Yushu sat in the back seat holding the two little princesses.
Empress Changsun and Li Shimin stood up to see Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi off.
"Slow down on the road!" Li Shimin instructed.
"Uncle, I got it."
"Grandpa and mother, you should also go to bed early!"
"Well, good!" Empress Changsun always had a faint smile on her face, looking very comfortable and kind.
Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi left Lizheng Hall.
Not long after walking, they saw someone blocking the road in the snow.
"Well? Who is so bold to block the road?"
Now everyone knows that this is Li Lizhi's car, but they dare to do so.
"Why do you feel a little familiar?" Li Lizhi tilted her head and looked at it.
"It does feel a little familiar... No, isn't this the Crown Prince?" Slowly approaching, Xiao Ran also recognized it.
"Brother, why is he here?" Li Lizhi also recognized it.
Li Chengqian walked towards the mini, and Xiao Ran thought it couldn't be a scam!
Xiao Ran still pressed the car window, "Your Highness, why are you still here?"
This is the only way for Li Lizhi to return to Fengyang Pavilion.
"Young Master, I'm so grateful for what you did just now!" Li Chengqian bowed slightly to Xiao Ran.
Li Chengqian knew what this meant.
Xiao Ran really helped a lot.
"Your Highness, there's no need to do this..." Xiao Ran hurriedly opened the car door.
Li Chengqian gently pushed the door, "It's cold outside, no need to come down. If you need me to do anything in the future, I will do my best if you ask me."
Li Chengqian said it sincerely.
"Your Highness, this is nothing."
"It's too important to me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the courage to tell my grandfather and mother about this. Now that we've talked it out, I'm so grateful!"
Li Chengqian bowed again.
Xiao Ran was a little embarrassed by his politeness.
"It's cold now, go back!" Li Chengqian looked at Li Lizhi and nodded with a smile.
"Well, okay, we'll talk again some other day. I'm afraid Mingda will get cold later."
Li Chengqian nodded, "Okay!"
"Brother, you should go back soon too!"
"Okay, I'll go back right away."
Seeing mini walk away, Li Chengqian felt happy.
Li Chengqian felt that Xiao Ran couldn't help him for no reason, maybe Li Lizhi was behind it.
Until the car drove away, Li Chengqian walked towards the East Palace and looked meaningfully in the direction of Wude Hall.
