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

Zhang Xianhuai's emotions were surging. Chen Fusheng witnessed this scene and his eyes instantly turned red with tears welling up in them. His hands trembled slightly unconsciously and he knelt down without hesitation.

There were still traces of tears on Zhao Fusheng's face, which were the traces left by tears of joy when he learned that His Majesty's condition had improved. At this moment, he knelt down with everyone else, his hands subconsciously clutching the corners of his clothes.

Hu Bugui looked solemn, and he also knelt steadily on the ground.

The four of them slowly raised their heads, their gazes fixed on Li Chengqian, tears glistening in their eyes.

"teacher!"

The four of them shouted in unison. This affectionate call instantly broke through the emotional dam and echoed in the house for a long time. Every word was scorching hot.

Li Chengqian looked at the students kneeling on the ground in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He sighed deeply, and in that sigh...

He said softly, "Why are you kneeling before me? I have said many times that there is no etiquette of kneeling in the Tang Dynasty."

His voice was still weak.

Everyone seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, still kneeling on the ground with no intention of getting up.

Chen Fusheng's face was covered with tears. He stared at Li Chengqian and cried, "Your Majesty, we are not kneeling to Your Majesty, but to our teacher and father!"

As he spoke, he frantically wiped away the tears that kept flowing with his sleeve, which was already soaked with tears. "Your Majesty, all of us were brought here from Xianyang by you, along with Teacher Qi and Teacher Lin."

"We have been with you since we were little, and you have led us step by step to where we are today."

"If it weren't for the teacher, there wouldn't be the prosperous Qianwu era we have today!"

"We students are willing to sacrifice our lives for you. Our lives are insignificant compared to your kindness. If we can buy your safety, we will do anything! We will go through fire and water! Teacher!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them kowtowed again in unison, their foreheads hitting the hard ground heavily with a dull "bang bang" sound. The sound of their kowtows was firm and powerful.

Looking at the students kowtowing, Li Chengqian's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that sunny day many years ago.

At that time, on the broad parade ground in Xianyang, the sun poured down, shining on a group of young people full of lofty ambitions and passions, who were about to embark on a great journey to change the world.

At that inspiring mobilization meeting, Lao Qi and Fatty Lin stood in front of the energetic students, with easy smiles on their faces, and said to him in a half-joking but sincere tone: "Go through fire and water, Your Majesty!"

The familiar scene and words appeared clearly in his mind, every detail was vivid, as if it happened yesterday.

"Royal brother, don't worry for now. There is no news about General Qin yet. Maybe General Qin is still well in Chang'an, waiting for you to come back!"

Li Ke clasped his hands together, leaned forward slightly, and spoke to Li Chengqian respectfully, trying to soothe his brother's anxious and worried heart. His concerned look made people feel his deep respect and love for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian turned his head and fixed his gaze on Li Ke. Looking at his intelligent and loyal brother, his eyes were filled with complex expressions, including confusion and dissatisfaction.

"Derun, you know everything, why are you doing this?"

There was a hint of undisguised resentment in his voice. His tone expressed both dissatisfaction with Li Ke's arbitrary decision and concern for him. "Ruzhao is still young. He has a wife and children. You're leaving him in Chang'an and using his life to exchange for a dying man like me. Do you think it's worth it?"

In his heart, every student is like his own child. He doesn't want to see anyone in danger because of him, especially the young and promising Qin Ruzhao, who still has a bright future and a happy family.

"Brother Emperor, I think it's worth it. Brother Emperor is the heaven of the Tang Dynasty. As long as Brother Emperor is here, I think it's worth it!"

Li Ke answered without hesitation, his eyes determined.

Li Chengqian is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty and the source of all hope. As long as his brother is safe, all sacrifices are worth it. His loyalty is as solid as a rock.

"Confused!"

Li Chengqian raised his voice, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. He was a little emotional, and his chest heaved slightly. "Even if I can't wake up? Even if I remain in a daze? Tell me, is it worth it? This world will be the same without anyone, including me!"

He tried to make Li Ke understand that in his heart, every life was extremely precious and no one's life should be sacrificed easily, even for himself as the emperor. In his value system, all lives were equal and should not be trampled upon.

"What will you do if I can't wake up and remain confused?"

"How dare you take the initiative and leave my Ruzhao in Chang'an! Derun!"

There was a hint of sadness in his tone, and he was dissatisfied with Li Ke's behavior of arbitrarily deciding Qin Ruzhao's destination.

Li Ke met Li Chengqian's gaze without flinching. His gaze was as firm as iron as steel as he said solemnly, "Brother Emperor, I am right. For the greater good, nothing can be sacrificed. My Hammer Officer can die, the Divine Martial General can die, and even I can die."

His words revealed a determination to sacrifice everything for the greater good. His resolute expression made people feel that he was willing to give up everything for the future of the Tang Dynasty.

"But my royal brother can't do that. Even if my royal brother continues to be in a daze, I will protect him."

"We, the secret party, are all in the service of the emperor, and we will not hesitate to die for him!"

"No matter what happens in the Tang Dynasty, what I want is just this day, and I will always be your Royal Brother!"

After hearing Li Ke's words, Li Chengqian was silent for a long time, with all kinds of emotions intertwined in his heart.

He knew Li Ke's loyalty and determination, and he also understood that he was thinking about the overall interests of the Tang Dynasty and for him, a dying useless man.

Finally, he slowly closed his eyes, as if trying to calm the waves in his heart, and said tiredly: "I am tired, let's not talk about it for now. Xianhuai, go and sort out everything that happened recently and let me see it."

He already had some feeling in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it too much, he prayed.

I hope Ruzhao can live well in Chang'an, and I hope my son won't touch his brother Qin.

You'er, you must never do anything that would disappoint your father.

You are the good grandson that your grandfather has high hopes for, and the good son that your mother never forgot before she died.

He is my own flesh and blood!
