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

When Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an this time, he did not bring Queen Su Zhi with him.

Su Zhi was pregnant and had reached the due date. Not only was she unable to move around easily, but she was also living an extremely boring life in the harem locked behind the palace walls.

Li Chengqian did this out of love for Su Zhi.

So, he placed Su Zhi in Youting, where the environment was quiet and peaceful, away from all the disturbances.

Not only that, Li Chengqian also specially allowed Su Zhi's family to come and accompany her, so that she could be surrounded by strong family love at this special moment, and the anxiety and tension in her heart could be slightly relieved.

Giving birth in Youting is the best thing. Besides, the medical care in Xianyang is now the best in the Tang Dynasty, so Li Chengqian is naturally not old-fashioned.

According to the old palace system, the queen was responsible for the management of the harem and should always live in the palace and was not allowed to leave the palace at will.

How could Li Chengqian be a person who sticks to the rules?

He has made up his mind.

At that moment, his harem was cold and deserted, lifeless, so empty that even mice could roam around freely.

Since there is no business to take care of in the harem, why force Su Zhi to return to the palace?

Does she have to go back to the palace to keep company with mice and manage the "mouse affairs" that don't exist at all?

What is quite surprising is that even Wei Zheng, who is always known for his strict adherence to etiquette and incorruptibility, did not utter a word of objection to Li Chengqian's unconventional decision.

This time when Li Chengqian set out on the journey back to Chang'an, he only brought back one old minister, Fang Xuanling.

Originally, Li Chengqian hoped to allow Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng to stay in Xianyang together and enjoy their old age.

Wei Zheng was quite open-minded and readily agreed to this arrangement.

He knew that his health was declining and his energy was not as good as before, so taking care of himself and improving himself were his top priorities.

Furthermore, the medical conditions in Xianyang are indeed slightly better than those in Chang'an, which is quite beneficial for his recuperation.

Fang Xuanling was not as free and easy as Wei Zheng.

He was devoted to the court all his life, and being busy and hard-working had become a habit. In his heart, being able to continue to devote himself to the court and deal with the mountains of government affairs was the meaning and value of life.

Seeing Fang Xuanling's persistence and determination, Li Chengqian could not bear to force him any further.

After all, a capable official like Fang Xuanling who has devoted his whole body and soul to the court would surely fall into confusion if he were suddenly idle and had nothing to do, which would be counterproductive.

After only three days of rest, Fang Xuanling could no longer suppress his inner desire and was eager to return to Chang'an to review the memorials that needed to be processed.

The events in the court made him unable to let go for even a moment.

After Li Chengqian's carriage slowly drove away, Lin Dafu hurried to the sanatorium where Li Shimin was, carrying a dazzling array of gifts and full of joy.

His round body looked very funny as he trotted along.

Behind him followed a large group of carriages carrying gifts.

It happened that Wei Zheng had just returned at this time, and he saw a fat man standing at the door, who looked not like a gentleman.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel suspicious and secretly kept a watchful eye. He stood quietly at the door, not moving at all, wanting to see who this fat man was visiting.

Seeing Wei Zheng staring at him like that, Lin Dafu was filled with confusion.

He didn't know who the old man in front of him was. He just felt that the old man's eyes were very strange, as if he had evil intentions. He kept staring at him fiercely, which made him feel a little scared.

When Li Shimin heard that Lin Dafu was coming, he was quite excited.

At this time, everyone was gathered together, chatting and talking about their past military exploits and interesting stories.

To put it simply, he is just bragging.

When they heard Lin Dafu's name, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were both confused and full of doubts.

Cheng Yaojin was the first to scratch his head and asked, "Your Majesty, who exactly is this Lin Dafu?"

"Why have we never heard of it?"

Ever since Wei Zheng moved in here, everyone has become much more restrained. No one dares to call Li Shimin "general" as casually as before, and everyone treats him as the emperor.

After all, no one wants to provoke Wei Zheng, only to be caught by him and scolded.

Li Shimin smiled and patiently explained, "Old Black, have you forgotten? Didn't I tell you all before that I have a nephew in Xianyang who is extremely filial. Now he has come to visit me specially."

Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized what was going on. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, so this is your incredibly wealthy nephew?"

"Would you mind taking us along to share some of his good wine? Last time you mentioned he had a lot of fine wine, and it really tempted my wine bug to try it!"

When Li Shimin heard the flattery from these two people, he felt very complacent and subconsciously raised his hand to gently touch his beard.

It happened that Wei Zheng was not present at this time, so this was a perfect opportunity for him to show off.

Seeing the curious glint in the eyes of the old men around him, Li Shimin became more and more proud. He nodded proudly and said, "Since that's the case, then everyone should follow me to meet my well-behaved and sensible nephew."

After saying this, he strode out with his head held high. Everyone followed him with great interest, wanting to see who this Lin Dafu was and why he was so valued and praised by Li Shimin.
