Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Li Tai's body felt as if all the strength had been drained away, and his entire body felt numb.

His eyes were a little blurry, and his thoughts seemed to be caught in an endless vortex.

That familiar voice has appeared repeatedly in countless dreams over the past six months.

And now, in this quiet night, he heard it again.

For a moment, Li Tai's mind was in chaos. He couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.

If this was a dream, he hoped he wouldn't wake up so soon this time.

When his father passed away, he was completely immersed in the fanatical pursuit of the throne. He was blinded by the supreme power and did not feel much emotion in his heart.

But as time passed, during his days of imprisonment, endless loneliness and pressure came upon him like a tide.

At a certain inadvertent moment, he saw the inconspicuous jade pendant on his waist.

The jade pendant was of ordinary style and not very bright in color, but he wore it day and night.

It was given to him by Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun on his birthday as a child.

That day, when he suddenly noticed the jade pendant, memories came flooding back like a broken dam.

He suddenly realized that those who were closest and best to him had left him one after another.

That day, he cried his heart out.

The saddest thing about losing a loved one is not the moment they leave, but every moment you think of them in the long years to come.

"Father, are you here? Are you here to see Qingqueer?"

Li Tai's lips trembled slightly, and there was a cry in his voice, and the cry was full of reluctance and fear.

He was afraid that all this was just his fantasy, afraid that the next moment, he would suddenly wake up from this beautiful dream like countless times before, and return to the cold and lonely reality.

But this time, the dream was too real, so real that in the blink of an eye, tears burst out uncontrollably and flowed down his cheeks.

In the flickering candlelight, two figures slowly walked towards him.

The figure gradually became clearer from blurry. When Li Tai saw the face that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, his heart seemed to be hit hard.

"Aye!"

He used all his strength, rushed forward, opened his arms, and hugged Li Shimin's somewhat thin body tightly.

Although the body was thin, it still brought him endless warmth and a sense of security.

"Aye, I miss you so much!"

Li Tai cried like a baby.

"Qingqueer misses you day and night, Aye!"

He hugged Li Shimin tightly, as if if he let go, his father would disappear again.

"After you left, Qingqueer did a lot of things that were unfair to Big Brother, Aye!"

His voice was thick with regret.

"Qingque'er was wrong! Qingque'er knows he was wrong!"

He buried his head in Li Shimin's arms and cried even harder.

"Aye Qingque'er, please don't leave Qingque'er again, okay? Qingque'er really misses you and can't bear to leave you!"

His body was shaking constantly.

"Qingqueer doesn't want anything anymore! Qingqueer just wants Aye!"

Li Shimin looked at his son who was crying bitterly in front of him, his eyes were red. He suppressed his emotions, took a deep breath, and barely calmed himself down.

He stretched out his arms and hugged his second son tightly, one hand gently stroking his heaving back.

"It's good that Qingqueer knows he's wrong. Aye is here, and he won't leave."

Li Shimin's voice was a little hoarse, with endless vicissitudes of life.

"It's all Aye's fault. It was Aye who started this bad thing, causing you brothers to kill each other!"

There was a flicker of pain in his eyes.

"Aye is wrong."

He put his arm around Li Tai with one hand and reached out with the other to hug Li Chengqian beside him.

"You are all good children, all good sons of Guanyinbi and me!"

Li Shimin looked at his two sons with eyes full of love.

"Remember! Before you do anything in the future, even if you don't consider your father, you should still consider your mother. Would she be sad if she saw you in heaven?"

"Don't do anything that would make your mother sad, or I..."

Having said this, Li Shimin lowered his head, and tears fell uncontrollably drop by drop onto the ground of the Wude Hall.

"Otherwise, how will I face your mother after I die?"

Li Shimin put the hands of his two sons together and looked at Li Chengqian.

"Cheng Qian, you are a sensible and good child. You forgave your brother and your uncle. You made Aye less embarrassed. If you leave in the future, you will have the face to see Guanyinbi."

He looked at Li Tai again.

"Qingque, you made a mistake and you're sorry to your elder brother. He didn't hold it against you! From now on, you have to listen to your elder brother. Aye can't be with you forever. An elder brother is like a father, you have to remember that!"

Li Shimin's eyes were red, and he spoke to Li Tai with an extremely serious look.

Li Tai sniffed his nose hard, and with tears on his face, he promised Li Shimin: "Aye, I will definitely listen to you, big brother, from now on. I will definitely listen to you carefully!"

"Good! Good!"

Li Shimin patted the back of Li Tai's hand vigorously, his eyes full of relief.

He looked at Li Chengqian again.

"Cheng Qian, Aye knows that you must still have some grudges in your heart. Aye knows that you have been wronged."

"Aye is just like your Aung. His fault is that he can't treat everyone equally."

Li Shimin's eyes were full of guilt.

"Cheng Qian, Aye, please don't bother with your brother. No matter what, he is still your brother."

"Aye did something wrong, and I don't want the descendants of my Li family to make mistakes too."

"I don't know how many nights Aye couldn't sleep, and he often dreamed of your uncle."

"Qingque, kneel down for your elder brother, kneel down for your elder brother!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly to Li Tai.

Li Tai didn't say anything, and knelt heavily in front of Li Chengqian with a plop.

"Brother! I was wrong!"

Li Tai's forehead touched the hard stone bricks of the Wude Hall, making a dull sound.

"I'm sorry, brother!"

His voice, tinged with tears, echoed in the empty hall.

"Big brother!"

He was about to knock his head to the ground again.

Just as he was about to kowtow again, he felt a chill on his forehead.

He looked up and saw that it was Li Chengqian who was blocking his forehead with his hand.

Li Chengqian slowly squatted down and looked at the silly brother in front of him who had grown up with him, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

He shook his head helplessly, reached out and touched Li Tai's already dark forehead.

"Qingque, come on, stop knocking your head. You'll knock yourself to death soon. If Old Li can't handle it, he'll die soon. How will the history books record me then?"

There was a hint of ridicule in Li Chengqian's tone, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere.

"Your brain has never been very bright since you were a child. Now that you kowtow like this, I'm afraid you'll become a fool."

As he spoke, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Li Tai's eyes with his thumb.

At that moment, scenes from his childhood emerged in Li Tai's mind.

When he was in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he was bullied by several cousins ​​from his fourth uncle's family. He ran home crying and asked his eldest brother for help.

Li Chengqian did the same. He squatted down carefully, wiped away his tears, and then rushed out without saying a word and started fighting with the boys from his fourth uncle's family.

I was still young at that time, and I only remember that Li Chengqian was beaten black and blue.

After returning home, Aye was furious and asked him why he went to fight with Li Yuanji's son.

I was extremely scared at the time, fearing that my eldest brother would tell on me, but he didn't. He took all the blame alone.

Why have these things that were once vague in my memory become so real now, as if they just happened.

Thinking of this, Li Tai could no longer hold back. He reached out and tightly grasped Li Chengqian's hand on his face, shouting with immense regret: "Brother! I'm so sorry!"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai like this, and the surging emotions in his heart were like surging waves. He tried hard to suppress them and took a deep breath.

"Be a real man, crying is like a woman. Big brother will be very busy from now on, so you guys take care of Aye. Zhinu is still young, I will let him study hard in the palace, and Aye will be left to your care."

Li Chengqian looked straight at Li Tai.

Li Tai nodded solemnly, "Brother, I will definitely take good care of Aye!"

"Ah."

Li Chengqian responded indifferently.

"Then you don't need to stay here anymore. Follow Aye to Xianyang."

"Of course, you eventually rebelled against me, your elder brother, so it was necessary to demote you to a commoner."

He reached out and touched Li Tai's head, but felt greasy on his hand. He looked at Li Tai with some disgust.

But seeing his pitiful appearance, Li Chengqian was too lazy to say anything to him.

"The Kuo Di Zhi is well done. When you have time, I will give Aye a copy of the Zhenguan Da Dian. Money is not a problem. As the eldest brother, I will pay for it."

Li Chengqian said.

"When you go to Xianyang, eat less."

Li Tai was still confused as he listened to Li Chengqian's words, when Li Chengqian added another sentence.

"Also, take more showers and pay attention to personal hygiene!"
