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

Li Chengqian stood up and walked briskly towards the tea stove beside him.

The charcoal fire in the tea stove was burning brightly, the kettle on the stove was emitting steam, and white steam was rising in the air.

He skillfully picked up the kettle and poured boiling water into two exquisite teapots. The tea leaves rolled under the impact of the hot water, emitting bursts of rich aroma.

"Aye, try it. You can't drink this tea outside. It's specially provided for me. It's the best tea from a mother tea tree. I usually can't bear to drink it."

Li Chengqian looked very proud, like a child showing off his favorite toy to an adult, and gently pushed the brewed teacup in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the teacup in front of him. The rising hot steam was filled with intoxicating tea fragrance.

He leaned closer to the teacup and took a deep sniff. Suddenly, a fresh and rich tea aroma penetrated his nose, making his eyes brighten.

He smiled and praised: "Not bad!"

That smile was filled with love for the fragrance of the tea and satisfaction with Li Chengqian's filial piety.

When Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin's praise, he couldn't help but feel happy and a smile bloomed on his face.

"Aye, if you like it, take it all with you when you leave. Let your old friends have some too."

There was unabashed generosity and enthusiasm in his tone.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes.

"Then you will have nothing left?" He knew how precious the tea was and couldn't bear to see Li Chengqian give all he had to him.

Li Chengqian waved his hand indifferently.

"I will be provided with it next year."

He looked relaxed. To him, this precious tea was far less important than Li Shimin's love for it.

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Li Shimin was no longer polite. He smiled and collected the five bags of tea that were placed aside, and placed them carefully beside him, as if he was collecting a heavy love from his son.

"Father, in addition to the reading glasses I made for you, I also plan to provide two pairs of reading glasses every year to all the officials over 45 years old in the court."

Li Chengqian said as he added tea to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian's words, he couldn't help but shook his head, his eyes full of surprise and emotion.

"Cheng Qian, after you came to power, the treatment of all officials has indeed improved a lot. Even I envy that old man Fang Xuanling."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, as if he saw Fang Xuanling's smug look.

"You can drink tea as much as you want, and there's a supply of sugar and salt, and the delicious food from Xianyang is often distributed."

Li Shimin counted them one by one on his fingers, with an envious look on his face.

"Cheng Qian, what are you going to do about the matter of Qingque and Fuji?"

He changed the subject and looked at Li Chengqian with some expectation in his eyes. He was still a little worried that Li Chengqian still had some grudges against them and could not handle it properly.

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin and said nonchalantly, "Father, although Qingque coveted the position of crown prince and made many secret moves, I should have punished him severely."

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"But out of consideration for our brotherly love, I will only confine him to the Wude Hall, forbidding him from participating in government affairs for the rest of his life. He will only enjoy splendor and wealth, without power. This can be considered as protecting him."

He put down the teacup and looked at Li Shimin with a firm look, as if he had thought it over carefully.

"As for my uncle, although he assisted Qingque in the rebellion, he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. I do not want to disappoint his meritorious service, so I will also dismiss him from office and order him to return home to retire. I will never employ him again, and he is not allowed to leave the palace without my permission."

Li Chengqian continued, his tone steady, without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at Li Shimin's eyes, Li Chengqian smiled.

"If Father Ye is worried, you can make the decision. I don't care. I've let it go long ago and I don't care what they do. If you're willing, let Qingque be filial to you. You can also take your old friends to Xianyang to retire. I'll prepare a big house for you."

His smile was genuine, and there was no resentment in his eyes.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, feeling relieved. He said with emotion, "Then, Chengqian, thank you very much."

He knew how rare it was for Li Chengqian to have such a broad mind. This child has really grown up.

When Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin's words, his heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly realized that from now on, even his own father would speak to him cautiously.

He felt uncomfortable, as if there was a thorn in his heart.

"Aye, why are you saying this? We are all relatives, and what happened in the past is in the past."

His voice calmed the waves in his heart.

"Don't mention the past anymore. Besides, didn't you give me the entire Tang Dynasty?"

In fact, Li Chengqian had figured everything out when Li Shimin was buried.

From beginning to end, Li Shimin never thought of changing the crown prince, even though he had done so many things that hurt his heart.

In Li Shimin's heart, they were all one family. Since the eldest son was going to inherit the family business, he gave more of his love to the second and third sons, just hoping that every child could feel the father's love.

However, they did not expect that they were not an ordinary family, and the conflict was formed subtly at this time.

Li Chengqian no longer cares about those things now. If he really cared, he could have killed them at that time, but he didn't.

Li Shimin was silent for a moment.

"Cheng Qian, Aye will help you solve the family's affairs. Aye has conquered the world before, and it's nothing more than conquering it again."

There was a determination in his eyes, as if he had returned to the days of fighting on the battlefield.

"Aye, I can't just stand by and watch others bully my son."

His voice was a little excited, full of love for Li Chengqian.

"Fang Xuanling asked me to persuade you. Aye doesn't want to persuade you, but Aye believes in you."

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with trust in his eyes.

"You've grown up, and Father is relieved. Apart from anything else, just the two cities of Xianyang and Chang'an are the real heyday."

There was pride in his tone, and he was proud of Li Chengqian's achievements.

"Aye's prosperous times are nothing more than a facade of peace and prosperity."

Li Shimin sighed slightly, with a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin.

"Aye, don't worry about it. I can handle it. How old are you? Are you still trying to conquer the world? Do you think you're still a young man in his twenties?"

There was a hint of blame in his words, but more of a concern for Li Shimin's health.

Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian.

"Don't look down on me. Even at this age, I can lead my old brothers to conquer the world again! Isn't that what Xueyantuo is?"

He stood up suddenly, exuding a majestic aura.

"Cheng Qian! Stop trying to persuade me!"

"Aye has decided!"

His eyes were firm and unquestionable.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin quietly without saying a word for a long time. His eyes showed a complex emotion of helplessness, touching and heartache.

Li Shimin felt helpless when he saw that his son was learning how to win over people's hearts again.

"Cheng Qian!" he shouted, feeling a bit amused and helpless.

Li Chengqian looked at him with a smile.

"General, please address me as Your Majesty!"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, and the eyes of the father and son met in the air.
