Li Chengqian stood up and stood still, his deep gaze falling quietly on Li Shimin.

At this moment, Li Shimin completely took off his usual mask, and replaced it with an expression of relief that was beyond words.

That expression was that of an ordinary father, looking at his outstanding child with great joy. The love and pride in his eyes were undisguised, pure and sincere.

Li Chengqian only felt a warm current slowly flowing through his heart, and his chest was slightly raised inadvertently. A strong feeling of pride surged from the bottom of his heart and quickly spread throughout his body.

When a son finally wins his father's heartfelt recognition, the sense of pride that comes with this moment can dispel all the worries in the world.

All the hard work I have put in and all the hardships I have endured in the past have become extremely worthwhile at this moment.

He slowly stretched out his slender and powerful hands and gently held Li Shimin's palm.

Li Shimin's hands were broad and warm, and the warmth from his palms was transmitted through his skin, causing Li Chengqian to feel inexplicably moved.

These hands, which once held supreme power and dominated the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the vast Tang Dynasty, are now trembling slightly. This trembling comes from the uncontrollable excitement deep in their hearts.

Li Chengqian lowered his head slightly and looked directly into Li Shimin's eyes sincerely, his eyes sparkling.

"Aye, I was confused at first, thinking there was something important that made you so serious."

"I never thought it would be such a reason."

"You want achievements? How difficult is that? Feel free to discuss with the historians and arrange everything according to your wishes."

"In my son's eyes, these false names are but fleeting clouds. What he truly cares about is the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the well-being of its people."

"As long as you are happy and satisfied, my son will be satisfied."

Li Chengqian's words were powerful, and every word was full of respect for Li Shimin, demonstrating his confidence and responsibility as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Li Chengqian's heartfelt answer, Li Shimin's eyes instantly became moist and tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.

He was really deeply moved by his son's filial piety!

Li Shimin's mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't help asking himself, what virtue and ability did he have to have such an outstanding son?

For a moment, tears welled up in his eyes and slowly slid down his weathered cheeks.

Li Shimin hurriedly raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

"Cheng Qian, I'm sorry for your grandfather!"

Li Shimin's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of self-blame.

"When your father-in-law founded the Tang Dynasty, he went through countless hardships. The difficulties and obstacles he encountered were unimaginable to ordinary people."

"Although I laid the foundation for the Tang Dynasty, I never thought of sharing my achievements with you, my father-in-law. I am being too selfish!"

There was some regret in Li Shimin's eyes. Now he saw clearly that he had a lot to reflect on about the past.

All those things that he used to think were normal, Li Yuan's eyes, Li Yuan's favor, made his heart ache.

"Let's put it this way, Cheng Qian, your achievements will not be monopolized by Aye."

"Aye has decided to share some of his achievements with you, Aong."

"This way, the achievements of our three generations of ancestors and grandchildren can all be highlighted in history books, and we can all be honored and preserved for future generations. Do you think this is a good idea?"

Li Shimin raised his head, with uneasiness in his eyes, and looked at Li Chengqian quietly, waiting for his answer.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin crying again, feeling helpless and distressed.

He smiled softly.

In Li Chengqian's eyes, Li Shimin really looked like an innocent child at this moment. Although he was already of such age, he was still so easily swayed by emotions and would cry at any time.

Li Shimin in history was the emperor who loved to cry the most. No matter he was facing the frank advice of his loyal ministers, or the victory or defeat of a war, his tears would always fall.

It is also a true portrayal of the soft side of his humanity.

But it was such an emotional and fragile emperor who, with his extraordinary talent and strategy, single-handedly founded the powerful and awe-inspiring Tang Dynasty. How could this not make people admire him sincerely?

"Aye, do whatever you want. I will pretend I know nothing."

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly with a doting smile on his face.

No matter what decision Li Shimin made, he would silently support it.

"As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have already made it clear to the historians that not a single word in the history books will be altered. This concerns the emperor's credibility, so I naturally cannot change my orders overnight. Otherwise, how can I gain the trust of my subjects in the future?"

"I also know that many of the historians are your former subordinates and confidants. You can discuss this matter with them. I will pretend that I know nothing about it!"

After saying that, Li Chengqian gently patted Li Shimin on the shoulder. The gentle movement conveyed a tacit understanding between father and son that did not require words.

Then, Li Chengqian turned around and walked towards the magnificent military formation below with steady steps.

Li Shimin followed Li Chengqian's receding back with his eyes closely, revealing complex emotions.

Watching Li Chengqian walking farther and farther away and finally blending into the army formation, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile happily in his heart.

It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty and also the pride of Li Shimin that he has such an outstanding emperor son!

Thinking about what his son had just said, Li Shimin began to carefully consider how to communicate with the historians.

Most historians are upright and incorruptible, adhering to the principle of writing truthfully. It is absolutely impossible to forcibly change the content recorded in history books.

In this case, we can only adopt a compromise and a middle way.

For example, he could describe his Zhenguan Reign as the result of the concerted efforts of himself and his ministers under the careful guidance of Li Yuan.

Li Chengqian's Qianwu rule was naturally inseparable from the silent support and assistance of his father behind the scenes. After all, his many years of governing experience and personal connections also played an important role in Li Chengqian's governance.

In this way, everyone's achievements can be reasonably and appropriately reflected in history books, which neither appears abrupt nor saves the face of all parties, making it a happy situation for everyone.

Li Shimin nodded slightly as he thought about it. He had already seen the scene after the historians revised the history books according to his ideas, and his heart was full of pride.

Li Chengqian stood in the military formation, exuding an aura of majesty that could not be ignored.

He looked up at the sky and saw snow-white clouds floating slowly above the vast sky.

Li Chengqian's gaze slowly moved down and fell on the Tang army that was covering the sky and the sun in front of him.

The army, which stretched as far as the eye could see, was full of energy and high morale.

He bent down slightly and casually pulled out a Tang Dynasty military flag that was stuck in the ground. The flag fluttered in the wind, and the red flag was bright and eye-catching, like a burning fire.

Li Chengqian held the military flag tightly in one hand and raised his arm high.

His eyes were firm as he stared at the gap in the Great Wall, revealing a determination to win.

This Liaodong area will surely become part of the Tang Dynasty.

The soldiers around raised their heads, their eyes full of admiration, and looked quietly at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Their hearts were filled with a burning passion of loyalty to His Majesty.

In this silent gaze, Li Chengqian took a deep breath, then used all his strength to shout loudly: "Pass on my military orders!

"attack!"

"Let the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty flatten this Liaodong land! Flatten this Goguryeo! Create a peaceful and prosperous era!"

Li Chengqian's military order was issued, like igniting a raging fire, instantly making the entire army boil.

The commanders immediately straightened their backs, their faces flushed, and they shouted frantically with all their strength: "Your Majesty's order! Attack!"

Their voices rose and fell, intertwining with each other.

As the commanders shouted, huge cowhide drums were struck, and the dull and powerful drum sounds echoed between heaven and earth.

Then, the trumpets and drums sounded, and the exciting tune of Qin Wang's Breaking Formation Music also sounded. The familiar melody seemed to bring the Tang Dynasty soldiers back to the fierce and fierce war years in the past, making everyone's blood boil.

When Li Shimin heard the familiar melody of Qin Wang's Breaking Formation Music, the blood in his heart was instantly ignited.

He can never go back to those glorious days when he dominated the battlefield and was invincible.

But now, he can see!

He could no longer suppress his inner excitement and jumped up from the armchair. There was a fiery light flashing in his eyes. He stared at the direction of the military formation and clenched his fists unconsciously.

The sounds of trumpets, drums and the shouts of soldiers intertwined with each other.

Qin Ruzhao was riding on a tall horse. When he heard the exciting attack horn, the horse under his crotch seemed to feel his master's excitement and raised its head and neighed.

Qin Ruzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, gripped the spear tightly in his hand, and raised it above his head.

"attack!"

Qin Ruzhao shouted loudly, and he squeezed his legs hard against the horse's belly. The horse felt pain and neighed loudly, then galloped away ahead.

Seeing this, Li Daozon, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Qibi Heli, Ashina She'er and other generals immediately followed the pace of the young general Qin Ruzhao without hesitation.

They are all heroes, holding their weapons tightly, announcing to the world the invincibility of the Tang army.

For a moment, the sound of horse hooves rang out like thunder, and the entire grassland was shaking continuously under the powerful impact, and the earth was trembling for the Tang Dynasty army.

The huge Tang army continued to advance towards the gap in the Great Wall.

The scene was extremely spectacular. Wherever it went, dust was flying. It was so majestic and intimidating.

Thirty years ago, the Sui army suffered a devastating defeat here. That period of humiliating history was engraved deep in the memory of the Central Plains and became a pain in the hearts of every Tang soldier.

Now, thirty years later, the iron cavalry of the Central Plains once again set foot on the land of Liaodong, carrying the anger of revenge and the belief that they must win, and launched a fierce charge against their former enemy.

This time, they are determined to rewrite history and let the reputation of the Tang Dynasty spread far and wide.

The Tang Dynasty is not the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is far superior to the Sui Dynasty!

Qin Ruzhao rode on a galloping horse, feeling the wind whistling past his ears and looking at the vast Liaodong land in front of him, his heart was filled with lofty sentiments.

The red flag behind him fluttered in the wind, cheering him on.

Qin Ruzhao unconsciously increased his horse's speed and raised the spear high in his hand.

"The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"

Qin Ruzhao shouted loudly, and the sound echoed across the vast wilderness.

The generals following behind him heard Qin Ruzhao's cry, and their blood boiled. They raised their weapons and shouted in unison: "Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

The charge led by the main generals instantly brought the morale of the Tang army to its highest point.

There was a fanatical glint in the eyes of every soldier, and they fought bravely forward.

For a time, the sound of the Tang Dynasty's victory echoed across this land for a long time.

This time, they will return victorious!

For Goguryeo, this was undoubtedly the return of a nightmare.

The invasion from the Central Plains came back again when they thought they were safe.

But this time, the Great Wall that once protected them has collapsed.

In the face of absolute strength, all unfavorable factors such as conspiracies, adapting to local conditions, acclimatization, biting cold, etc. are nothing but minor problems.

What they have to face is the strongest military force in the Tang Dynasty at this stage.

What they inherited was the Tang Emperor's dominance in controlling the military forces of the world.

Anyone who dares to raise an army, whether inside or outside the country, will be killed!
