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

When Li Chengqian saw this scene, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a helpless smile. He knew too well what this kid was thinking. How could a child not be curious about the outside world?

Which young person would be willing to be trapped in this palace that looks magnificent but is actually an invisible cage?

Even though Li Chengqian was busy with all kinds of affairs, there would often be a moment when he looked at the sky outside the window, and he would feel like throwing off all constraints and strolling around the streets outside the palace.

What's more, Li Jingyou is in his youth, full of vigor and vitality, and his heart is full of curiosity and longing for the unknown world. His childish nature makes him yearn for freedom outside the palace.

"You'er, come here."

Li Chengqian called out gently.

Li Jingyou came up to him and Li Chengqian paused slightly.

Li Jingyou was stunned at first, but was soon replaced by confusion. He raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian with some confusion.

Li Chengqian saw this and patiently explained, "Although you are still young, in the past, you would have been old enough to start a career."

"At your age, your grandfather already had great ambitions, recruiting soldiers and laying the foundation for his future great cause."

"And when I was your age, your father had already worked hard in Xianyang and established his own circle of influence."

"Although this palace can provide you with a comfortable life, it is also like an invisible cage, trapping your hands and feet and restraining your ambitions."

“Only by going out into the vast world, experiencing the trials and tribulations, can you truly temper your will and broaden your horizons.”

"This is just one of them."

Li Chengqian frowned slightly, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face. After a pause, he stood up, walked to the window, reached out and slowly pushed the window open.

In an instant, fresh air rushed in and he took a deep breath.

"Father once said in court that the common people's children were sent to fight in the battlefields, while our descendants were allowed to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Upon closer consideration, this statement is truly unfair."

"Since I require the children of officials to set an example for the people of the world, then my son, as the future crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, should lead by example and stand at the forefront."

"We, the royal family, normally enjoy the offerings of the people and the most luxurious life in the world. When the country faces a crisis and the people need us, we naturally step forward and shoulder our responsibilities."

Li Chengqian turned around and stared at Li Jingyou, his expression more solemn than ever before, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notes: "So, You'er, are you willing to take my place and be the crown prince who leads by example?"

"Let all the people of the world see that when faced with difficulties and dangers, I will not let the children of the common people risk their lives, nor will I let the children of officials take risks with empty promises. Even if it is my only prince, I will let him rush forward for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the people, and never retreat!"

Li Jingyou listened quietly, and under Li Chengqian's fiery gaze, his small body straightened up unconsciously.

The stories he had heard about the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty and the various aspects of people's lives emerged in his mind, and he became more and more yearning for the outside world.

Although under the influence of Li Shimin, he held different views on some of his father's policies, but at this moment, he was deeply touched by Li Chengqian's sincere words.

I am the crown prince and the only heir of my father. I don't have any brotherly intrigues and I only have a well-behaved sister. How could my father harm me?

He certainly wanted to go on a diplomatic mission to India to help his father solve his problems, but more importantly, it came from his heart that longed for freedom.

He wanted to go out so badly, to measure every inch of the land of the Tang Dynasty, and to witness with his own eyes what kind of majestic spirit this prosperous Tang Dynasty possessed.

Thinking of this, Li Jingyou nodded solemnly, his childish voice full of determination: "Father, your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

Li Chengqian looked at the sensible child in front of him, his heart filled with relief, and he couldn't help but say "good" several times.

But while I was relieved, I also felt worried.

The journey to Tianzhu is long and arduous, filled with unknown dangers. What if You'er encounters an accident...

Li Chengqian didn't dare to think any further and could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that God would bless his child to return safely.

"Good prince, good You'er!"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Jingyou excitedly, but soon the smile on his face was replaced by a bitter smile.

"You'er, even if you and I both agree on this matter, it's still a bit tricky."

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly.

Li Jingyou was full of doubts. In his understanding, his father was the king of a country. Once he opened his mouth, nothing could be impossible.

Li Chengqian looked at his naive appearance and gently touched his head. "Silly boy, at your age, you are going to travel across the ocean and serve as an envoy to India. Can your mother be at ease?"

"How could she agree so easily? We father and son must discuss carefully how to convince your mother."

Thinking of his mother, Li Jingyou's face suddenly fell.

Yes, my father usually doesn’t have time to take care of me, so he is quite relaxed with me, but it’s different with my mother.

The Queen Mother usually had nothing to do, and she used what little energy she had to keep an eye on him and Li Jingyi.

Last time, Su Zhi slapped his hand because he didn't eat properly.

He was really afraid of his mother!

He thought that he should let his mother know that he wanted to go on a diplomatic mission to India.

Most likely he will be beaten again.

Thinking of this, he looked at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian also seemed to have thought of something and looked at Li Jingyou at this time.

The father and son said almost in unison.

"Go and talk to the Queen Mother."

"Go and talk to your mother."

After saying this, both of them felt a little embarrassed.

I didn't know what to do for a while.

After a while, Li Chengqian decided not to let Li Jingyou take the blame. He was still young and might not be able to bear such a big pot.

The father and son had almost the same idea.

Li Jingyou's idea was that he would pretend to be unwilling to go, and then his father would force him to go.

Finally, he had no choice but to go on a diplomatic mission to India.

Li Chengqian had similar ideas.

He pretended to firmly disagree, and then asked Li Jingyou to go with Su Zhihou. He insisted on going and wanted to set an example for the people of the world.

Although he was reluctant to let Li Jingyou go, he finally had no choice but to agree.

Neither the father nor the son wanted to be involved in this matter.

But if Li Jingyou wants to go on a diplomatic mission to India smoothly, it will be almost impossible if Su Zhi does not give in.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian decided to tell Su Zhi the truth.
