I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

After a while, he slowly spoke.

"Xian Huai, there's no need to investigate this matter any further. Let's stop here."

There was an unquestionable authority in his tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although Zhang Xianhuai had some doubts in his heart, he still obeyed the order. He knew that His Majesty had his own considerations.

"Go find Mr. Qi first. I want to be alone and quiet."

Li Chengqian waved his hand, his movements looking a little tired.

"I'll take my leave! Your Majesty, please take care of your health!"

Zhang Xianhuai keenly noticed Li Chengqian's sudden loss of mood, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he walked out after saying that.

"Don't worry, just go about your business."

Li Chengqian waved again.

After Zhang Xianhuai left, the entire Liangyi Hall fell silent, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy. The silence seemed to be able to swallow up everything.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes, thoughts surging in his mind. The previous scenes flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope, and each scene was extremely clear.

The military token and fish token that Changsun Wuji could not find were important items related to the military lifeline of the Tang Dynasty. They seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

But after a few days, Fang Xuanling placed all the military talismans and fish talismans on his imperial desk as if by magic.

How could Emperor Li Er have the ability to predict the future?

The fact that he could entrust everything to Fang Xuanling seems to be shrouded in mystery.

Based on the intelligence from Xianyang City and the situation of Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde some time ago, it was known that these two veteran generals had been sick at home since then and had never attended court meetings again.

Li Chengqian sent the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate, and found out that these two veteran generals had not left the mansion for more than a month.

Yuchi Jingde has always been patient, so he can understand that. But how could someone like Cheng Yaojin, who has a devilish personality, stay patiently in his own house?

Last month, not even a single cow died in Cheng Yaojin's mansion. This is totally unreasonable.

In the past, Cheng Yaojin's mansion was very lively, with new and interesting things coming out from time to time, but now it was eerily quiet.

Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji had a very close relationship with Li Shimin. They were both monarch and subject, and brothers.

The friendship between them was extremely deep, but on the day of Li Shimin's funeral, they actually took a personal guard to Songhe Tower to eat hot pot and drink wine. If they were really sad, how could they still happily drink and eat meat together?

All the clues were intertwined and collided in Li Chengqian's mind. Each clue was like a piece of a puzzle, and ultimately pointed to a result that he could hardly believe.

That is, his father should still be alive, and he should most likely be following Li Ji's army to conquer Xueyantuo.

Once this idea appeared in his mind, it grew wildly like weeds, making his heart beat faster involuntarily.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a headache and mixed emotions in his heart.

How could my father, the emperor, play such a trick of faking his own death? He's already so old!

According to official history, he only had seven more years to live.

What if something unexpected happens on the way to the expedition?

His heart was filled with worry, as if an invisible hand was clutching his heart tightly.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly felt like an ant on a hot pan and began to get anxious.

He paced back and forth in the hall, his steps hurried and chaotic.

In the past, Li Chengqian might have hated Li Shimin deep in his heart. After all, there were many conflicts between father and son during their growth.

Those conflicts were like scars engraved on his heart. But after personally escorting him to Zhaoling Mausoleum, in that solemn and dignified atmosphere, all the resentments were put aside.
