As soon as Liu Wu took his newborn daughter from the maid’s arms, a smile appeared on his face.

The moment Liu Wu touched his daughter, a prompt sound rang in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a daughter. This woman is intelligent, cheerful, kind, filial, and a woman of wisdom, beauty, courage, and tenacity. The system’s comprehensive evaluation shows that she has the highest compatibility with Li Xiuning, Princess Pingyang Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, at 83%. If the compatibility exceeds 60%, you can contact her.]

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a daughter. Do you want to meet Princess Pingyang Zhao, Li Xiuning? After meeting, the girl will have all the talents of Li Xiuning.]

Liu Wu looked at his daughter in his arms with shining eyes.

This is also an extremely outstanding daughter, no worse than a son.

Historically, Li Xiuning was the third daughter of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, and an important princess in the early Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiuning was born in the late Sui Dynasty. She was the daughter of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, and his first wife, Dou.

She received a good education and training since childhood. She was not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also had some knowledge of military strategies.

Li Xiuning demonstrated outstanding military talent during the turbulent period at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

She personally organized and led an army of women, and made great contributions to helping her father Li Yuan conquer the world.

In the Guanzhong area, she relied on her flexible guerrilla tactics and outstanding command ability to defeat the Sui army many times, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiuning not only possesses military talent, but also possesses superb political wisdom.

Be good at observing current affairs, be able to assess the situation and formulate strategies and tactics that suit the actual situation.

When the Tang Dynasty was first established, she actively assisted her father and brothers in stabilizing the situation, developing the economy, and consolidating the country.

In fact, Li Xiuning was the first princess in China to lead thousands of troops to establish an empire for her father, the first princess in the Tang Dynasty to be given a posthumous title, and the only woman in Chinese history to have her funeral held by the army. These achievements all highlight her important position in history.

Liu Wu was quite happy looking at his daughter crying in his arms. Who wouldn’t like such a daughter?

“Scam, scam Li Xiuning!”

Liu Wu gave his daughter the most important newborn gift without hesitation.

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a daughter, Princess Pingyang Zhao Li Xiuning, this girl already possesses all the talents and qualifications of Li Xiuning. ]

[Host’s progress in obtaining the third ability: 9/9]

[Congratulations to the host, you can draw a peak ability from the seven characters who have already touched porcelain: Li Mu, Liu Bang, Li Lizhi, Liu Bowen, Li Qingzhao, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning.]

When the prompt sounded, the smile on Liu Wu’s face became even more intense. It was time for him to draw abilities for the third time.

However, now is not the time.

Liu Wu asked a wet nurse to take care of his newborn daughter, and then waited with everyone else.

In the delivery room, there were again the sounds of Mrs. Gan’s screams and the midwife’s encouragement and instructions.

At this time, the entire Chu Palace was in an uproar, and many maids and Liu Wu’s wives and concubines gathered around.

Apparently, Mrs. Gan’s twins were not common.

“Wow wow wow~”

I don’t know how long it took, but just when everyone in the courtyard was anxious, another burst of baby crying came from the delivery room.

Liu Wu, Madam Mi, Da Qiao and others who were waiting in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Liu Wei and little Li Zhi also had tears of heartache in their eyes but also flashed happy smiles.

“Father, mother, is the birth over?” Xiao Lizhi asked, grabbing Liu Wu’s clothes.

“Yes, mother has given birth.” Liu Wu said to Xiao Lizhi with a smile.

“Crack!”

When the door of the delivery room opened, Liu Wu immediately looked at Grandma Wen who came out holding the child.

“Your Majesty, your wife gave birth to a boy, twins, both are safe, both are safe.”

The midwife held the baby and smiled at Liu Wu with sweat on her forehead.

“Boy? Good, as long as he’s safe.”

In the courtyard, Liu Wu heard that they were not twin girls, but actually a boy and a girl, and he laughed and cheered.

However, Madam Mi, Da Qiao, Sun Shangxiang and other women standing by were all envious.

Although Mrs. Gan suffered, she eventually gave birth successfully, and she had two babies.

Xiao Lizhi was smiling quite happily at this time and said:
“It’s my brother. They are really a brother and sister.”

At this time, Liu Wu had already stepped forward with everyone else and took the newborn son from the midwife.

As soon as Liu Wu touched his son, the prompt sound rang in his mind again. Just listening to the prompt sound, Liu Wu’s eyes froze.

I won the grand prize of Li Xiuning. Not only was I a heroine, but I actually won a super grand prize!!!
[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a son. The child has a stubborn but loyal, calm, wise, brave, and humble character. The system’s comprehensive evaluation shows that the highest compatibility with Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, is 88%. If the compatibility exceeds 60%, you can touch porcelain. ]

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a son. Do you want to cheat on Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty? After cheating on Li Jing, the child will have all the talents of Li Jing.]

Liu Wu looked at his son in his arms, his eyes widened. This boy actually managed to scam Li Jing.

This is awesome!
He is the military god of the Tang Dynasty.

He is a god of war level figure who can fight even in the past five thousand years.

Li Jing was born in the Danyang branch of the Longxi Li family. When he was young, he served as a minor official in the Sui Dynasty, in charge of some local affairs.

During the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Jing joined the anti-Sui uprising and later joined Li Yuan’s team. After Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing was appointed as a general in the army, responsible for conquering the rebel forces in various places.

In 620, Li Jing assisted Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Zhao, in pacifying Xiao Xian and Fu Gongju in the south, and pacified the tribes in Lingnan. In 625, Li Jing resisted the invasion of the Eastern Turks in the northern border.

In the third year of Zhenguan (629), Li Jing led the generals to the north as the commander-in-chief of the Dingxiang Road. He led elite cavalry to attack Dingxiang at night, causing Jie Li Khan’s army to flee in panic. He then rushed to Yinshan and destroyed the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop, expanding the Tang Dynasty’s territory from the north of Yinshan to the desert. He was appointed Shangshu You Pushe for his merits and was granted the title of Duke of Dai.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan (635), he resigned due to foot disease, but was reappointed in the same year and led the army to defeat Tuyuhun in the west. He was later renamed Duke of Weiguo and was known as “Duke Li Wei”.

In the 643th year of Zhenguan (), he was listed among the “Twenty-four Meritorious Officials of the Lingyan Pavilion”.

In the 649rd year of Zhenguan (), Li Jing died of illness at the age of . He was granted the title of Si Tu and Bingzhou Dudu, and was posthumously named “Jingwu” and buried in Zhaoling Mausoleum.

During the reign of Emperor Suzong of Tang, he was enshrined in the Temple of King Wucheng and was listed among the Ten Sages.

He was posthumously named “King Lingxian” in the Later Jin Dynasty, and was successively named “King Fushi Lingyou Zhonglie” in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Li Jing fought for decades and made great contributions to the establishment and development of the Tang Dynasty. Such a military god-level figure was actually hit by his seventh son! !

Liu Wu’s hands were shaking as he held his seventh son.

“Bumping into Li Jing!”

Liu Wu gave his seventh son the generous gift of a father without hesitation.

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a son, the Tang Dynasty military god Li Jing. The child has all the talents of Li Jing. 】

[Host’s progress in obtaining the third ability: 10/12]

Listening to the system prompt sound, Liu Wu couldn’t stop smiling.

Next, the delivery room was cleaned up and Liu Wu went in to take a look. Mrs. Gan was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep after giving birth to her son. Obviously, giving birth to twins made her very tired.

“Don’t disturb Madam. Also, have the servants prepare the meal and take care of Madam after she wakes up from her rest.”

Liu Wu explained the arrangements to the group.

“promise!”

A crowd of people retreated.

Liu Wu also went to the study. This time, Mrs. Gan was very supportive and gave him twins, allowing him to have two children in a row, bringing the number of his offspring to ten. He could also choose his ability again.

When drawing the range of characters for the third time, the system did not count the tenth person born, Li Jing, but only drew one peak ability from Li Mu, Liu Bang, Li Lizhi, Liu Bowen, Li Qingzhao, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning.

This is not a good choice for Liu Wu.

The first time he chose Li Cunxiao’s peak force, he had to choose Li Cunxiao’s peak force.

The second time, he chose the imperial abilities of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and all his abilities increased significantly.

In fact, his ability is not weaker than Cao Cao.

So how to choose the third time?

When Liu Wu was considering choosing someone, he first excluded Li Lizhi and Li Qingzhao.

Then there were only five people left: Li Mu, Liu Bang, Liu Bowen, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning.

Among these five people, Li Mu and Li Xiuning are strong in their ability to command troops.

Liu Bowen is good at strategy.

Liu Bang and Li Shimin were both king-level figures.

Undoubtedly, they all have their own characteristics, but after some hesitation, Liu Wu felt that neither Liu Bowen, who was strong in strategy, nor Li Mu or Li Xiuning, who were strong in command, seemed to be his first choice.

Why? Because he is no longer a strategist or a general commanding troops. He is a king who rules a region and is at the center of the world.

If he wants to charge into battle, he has powerful generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Gan Ning.

If he needs to lead a large army, he has Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu.

If he wanted to give advice, he also had Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Dong Zhao, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others.

Therefore, in Liu Wu’s opinion, it would be a waste if he chose the abilities of a military general or counselor now.

What he should do more is to enrich his abilities as an emperor.

Is Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che’s, the most perfect imperial ability?

In fact, Emperor Wu of Han’s imperial ability was not perfect and there were some flaws.

Warmongering: During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, although he conquered the Xiongnu in the north, conquered the Baiyue in the south, pacified Korea in the east, and conquered the Yi and Qiang in the west, expanding the Han Dynasty to its largest territory, the continuous wars also left the country weak and the people exhausted. In his later years, Emperor Wu of Han regretted this and issued a “self-blame edict”.

Superstitious about gods and immortals: Emperor Wu of Han pursued immortality and was surrounded by a group of people who claimed to be gods and sorcerers. He built a pavilion and went to the East China Sea to look for immortals, but all his efforts were in vain and he almost lost his life as he was manipulated by a group of sorcerers.

Extravagance: Emperor Wu of Han loved to travel and spent most of the year traveling around. In the first year of Yuanfeng, he led 18 cavalry on a northern tour. It is unknown how much national treasury property he wasted and how much burden he imposed on the people.

The Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident: This was a major political event that occurred within the feudal ruling group in the last years of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and the biggest injustice of the Han Dynasty.

Undoubtedly, although Emperor Wu of Han was an outstanding emperor in Chinese history and his achievements and contributions are indelible, he still had these shortcomings.

In Liu Wu’s view, although he would not have the same problems as Emperor Wu of Han, he inherited Emperor Wu of Han’s imperial abilities, that is to say, his imperial abilities were the same as those of Emperor Wu of Han.

And what if his emperor becomes stronger?

Liu Wu looked at Liu Bang and Li Shimin among the five people, but soon Liu Wu threw Liu Bang out and became dissatisfied with Li Shimin’s ability as an emperor.

What if he already had Liu Che’s imperial abilities, and then added Li Shimin’s imperial abilities?
If we compare Li Shimin’s ability as an emperor with Liu Che’s ability as an emperor, there are differences.

The first is the difference in military capabilities.

Li Shimin had fought on the battlefield since he was a child, which was almost equivalent to the founding monarch. He had experience in war command that Liu Che did not have, and achieved many impressive results. In the foreign wars after the founding of the country, Li Shimin also defeated powerful enemies many times and expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that his military was very strong. Liu Che was also an outstanding military strategist. The enemy he faced, the Huns, was much stronger than the loose Turks. Therefore, to some extent, the two had their own strengths in military capabilities. However, Li Shimin may be better in terms of personal presence, decision-making and command.

The second is the difference in internal affairs operations.

Both of them are models of selecting ministers and establishing rules and regulations. Li Shimin lived in an era that was able to absorb various social governance experiences of previous dynasties, and may have been more comprehensive and mature in domestic affairs. Liu Che made many innovations in domestic affairs, such as promoting the equal-field system and strengthening centralization, which had a profound impact on the development of the Han Dynasty. However, Li Shimin made remarkable achievements in knowing people and making good use of them and reforming the imperial examination system, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Undoubtedly, Li Shimin and Liu Che had their own strengths in their abilities as emperors, and the differences were mainly reflected in their military command experience, the comprehensiveness of their domestic construction, and their maturity. Both were outstanding emperors in Chinese history, and each created their own glorious era.

Liu Wu thought about it and soon became moved.

Li Mu and Liu Bowen’s one-way abilities as commanders and counselors can be used to improve things in the future, but adding their abilities as emperors will make them more attractive to Liu Wu now.

“System, extract the Emperor Taizong Li Shimin’s ability as an emperor!”

[Ding! Congratulations to the host child for having touched nine historical figures, and meeting the extraction conditions. ]

[Ding! Extract the emperor’s ability of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, for the host! ]

As the system’s prompt sounds rang out, Liu Wu instantly felt his mind filled with a large amount of historical knowledge from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, as well as all kinds of knowledge about how emperors use both kindness and power, and how water can carry a boat but can also overturn it, and the power of a king.

Liu Wu looked at his palm for a long time and found no changes. However, Liu Wu clearly felt that he had undergone tremendous changes.

Liu Wu was filled with emotion and had all kinds of insights. He couldn’t help but look at his attribute panel.
