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

Hearing Mr. Qi's helpless words, Li Chengqian's body trembled slightly, and then fell into a dead silence.

The hall was eerily quiet, with only the faint crackling sound of burning candles.

Li Chengqian frowned and looked into the distance with empty eyes.

After a long time, Li Chengqian slowly came back to his senses. He raised his hand and waved weakly.

"Come, sit down, let's sit down and talk. It's tiring to stand."

As Mr. Qi and Lin Dafu sat down, Li Chengqian could no longer suppress his inner emotions and let out a long sigh. The sigh, wrapped in years of depression, weighed heavily on the slightly dim hall.

"Lao Qi, Fatty, I told you, there is no time."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's impossible not to take risks."

After saying this, he subconsciously covered his chest, his voice becoming weaker. "I know my body well, and my end may not be far away."

Then he slowly turned his gaze to Lin Dafu.

"Fatty Lin, you control the world's financial power. The Qianyu Chamber of Commerce is the key to our strategy. We must hold it firmly in our hands and not make any mistakes."

"Starting tomorrow, you and Lao Qi will both leave the palace. Both of you will operate in secret."

His tone was firm.

"From now on, don't show up in public anymore, and be extremely careful and cautious in your actions."

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's arrangement, Mr. Qi and Lin Dafu felt a sudden sinking of the heart, and a sour feeling of loneliness quickly spread throughout their bodies.

They subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes full of reluctance.

Their lips trembled slightly, as if they wanted to say something to plead to stay, but in the end they swallowed them back.

They knew clearly in their minds that at this moment, obeying His Majesty's orders without reservation was the most beneficial decision for the overall situation.

Li Chengqian slowly reached into his arms and fumbled for a long time before he took out the military token that symbolized the highest command of the world's troops.

Li Chengqian stared at the military token with a complicated expression.

"Old Qi, I once promised you that I would make you the most powerful official in the country, but now I have broken my promise and dismissed you from office. I am so sorry for you."

His voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes. "I give this military token to you. You and Fatty Lin go together. I have informed all the generals and soldiers from all over the country in advance. When you see this military token, treat it as if I were here in person."

As he spoke, he held the military token in both hands and solemnly handed it to Mr. Qi, shaking his hand tightly. "I will safely hand over the power to control the world's troops into your hands."

"I don't trust others, but you, Old Qi, and Fatty Lin, have followed me for many years. You are loyal and capable. I trust you, your loyalty, and your ability."

"If the trajectory of the Tang Dynasty deviates from our original intentions and the people are in dire straits, then you will raise an army and restore order."

"If you are willing, you can seize the throne and establish your own country. With your talents, you will surely create a prosperous era."

"If you are unwilling, then find a reliable person to govern the Tang Dynasty and put the world back on track."

Li Chengqian looked straight into the eyes of Mr. Qi and Lin Dafu, "I believe in you. You will not let me down, nor will you let the people of the world down."

Li Chengqian's words hit Mr. Qi and Lin Dafu hard, plunging them both into deep silence.

They have always known that His Majesty cares about the world and has lofty ambitions, which is very different from ordinary emperors. However, they never expected that His Majesty could be so open-minded and even willing to entrust the fate of the world to the hands of others.

Recalling that day, when Li Chengqian suddenly said that he wanted Wang Wen to be the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they felt a buzzing in their heads and were completely stunned, as if they were struck by a thunderbolt, and the world before their eyes became illusory.

At that moment, they were filled with shock and could not understand why His Majesty made such a decision.

But as time went by, after countless days and nights of reflection, they gradually understood the profound meaning of His Majesty.

It turns out that in your majesty's heart, the weight of the country and the people of the world is far more important than the supreme throne and the glory of a family.

A gentle smile slowly appeared on Li Chengqian's face. He gently pulled Mr. Qi's hand. Although his hands were broad and strong, they were trembling a little at this moment.

The other hand took Lin Dafu's hand and held both of their hands tightly in his own.

"It is truly an honor for me to have you two by my side throughout my life."

His voice was slightly choked, tears glistening in his eyes. "It is also my good fortune that I can have such a talented person to walk side by side with me and seek the welfare of the people of this world."

"There's nothing good about the throne. My father was right. No matter how dynasties change, the throne of the emperor will always exist."

"Changing the name and the clothes makes no difference in essence. What really matters is whether the person sitting in this position has the people in his heart and whether he can care about the people's well-being and suffering."

Li Chengqian gazed into the distance, as if he could see through the palace walls the various aspects of life for the people of the world. "The well-being of the people of this world must not be confined to the bloodline of a single family. As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, who sits on the throne doesn't matter."

He held their hands tightly, repeating them over and over again: "Remember this, Lao Qi, Fatty Lin. We've come this far, through countless hardships and dangers, all for the sake of peace in this world and the well-being of the people."

"People like you and me, how can we bear to let our long-cherished wishes go to waste?"

There was determination in his eyes.

"Let's go, leave Chang'an, leave this palace. The prosperity and glory here are all fleeting."

“Go to where the people need us. That is our real battlefield and where we can realize our ambitions.”

Mr. Qi and Fatty Lin slowly stood up, their eyes fixed on Li Chengqian, wanting to deeply engrave his current appearance in their hearts.

The candlelight flickered, and Li Chengqian sat quietly on the armchair. His figure was stretched very long in the dim light, and he looked a little lonely.

He looked at them and kept waving his hands, his eyes full of reluctance, but also with some expectation.

They all knew in their hearts that given the current situation, if nothing unexpected happened, this would probably be the last time they met in this life.

There were no excessive words of farewell, no sad farewell, and thousands of words turned into endless silence in this silent gaze.

The two of them simply bowed deeply to Li Chengqian at the entrance of Liangyi Hall. This bow carried the friendship they had built over the years.

"Goodbye, Your Majesty."

The two men's voices trembled slightly, with a hint of sob, and they used the farewell words that Li Chengqian often used when he was young.

I still remember that they asked Li Chengqian curiously, "What does this goodbye mean?"

Li Chengqian simply waved his hand, a faint smile on his face, and said lightly: "Goodbye, that's of course what it means literally. See you again."

Listening to what the two said, Li Chengqian showed a relieved smile on his face.

He waved his hands briskly, as carefree and unrestrained as he was in his youth.

Then, he shook his head, smiled and said, "Goodbye."
