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

"I guess they don't dare to act rashly now."

"By the way, how is the training of the new batch of students going?"

"Your Majesty, education is not a one-time effort, and the current number of students is far from meeting the demand."

Li Chengqian stroked his chin, thought for a moment and said, "I understand."

"The Tang Dynasty Imperial Cavalry Academy in Mobei has been completed. According to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, there are over 100,000 fine horses."

"Grand Master Qi, you will be responsible for informing the Tang Dynasty's military heroes and have their descendants go to the Tang Dynasty Imperial Cavalry Academy for training. Upon their return, they will serve the Tang Dynasty loyally."

"Including those who have inherited their fathers' meritorious service, such as General Qin's son Qin Huaidao, they will also be sent to Mobei for further study. We will also select those with outstanding academic performance from the infantry to go together."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

……

In the dark and damp Zhaoyu Prison, time seemed to be extremely long.

Cui Renshi, Zheng Renji and other officials from aristocratic families have been imprisoned here for more than half a year.

Originally, these people were to be killed, but Li Chengqian was displeased with their arrogant attitude at the time.

The killing was directly changed to imprisonment.

These people have been imprisoned until now.

Even though they were in prison, they still tried their best to maintain the arrogant demeanor of the so-called aristocratic family.

Cui Renshi's official uniform was already worn and dirty, but he still kept it as neat as possible.

He sat in the corner, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes from time to time.

"Humph, Li Chengqian was just acting on impulse. How dare he truly break completely with our family?"

"Sooner or later, he will be forced to release us under pressure from all sides."

Zheng Renji echoed, "My Xingyang Zheng family has deep roots in the court, and our family will certainly not sit idly by. This imprisonment is only temporary."

The others also nodded, comforting each other, and firmly believed that the influence of the family was enough to turn the tide.

But if the aristocratic family really had a way, they wouldn't have been locked up here for half a year.

In other words, Li Chengqian wanted to spare their lives.

He also specifically ordered that he not be tortured, and that he would send their family members one by one to reunite with them.

Just as these people were still immersed in their own fantasies, there was suddenly a sound of iron chains being dragged at the prison door.

The heavy door slowly opened and the Jinyiwei entered one after another.

They held a tray in their hands, and the tray was covered with a black cloth.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it, and an inexplicable uneasiness welled up in their hearts.

The Jinyiwei walked to the center of the cell and slowly lifted the cloth, revealing Wang Qizhao's pale head with his eyes still open.

As for why it took so long to be delivered, it was because the head had only undergone simple processing at the beginning.

The preservation time was not long enough, and now the brain marrow in the human head has been taken out and sutured.

Add lime and some antiseptics on it.

It can be ensured that there will be no problems within three years.

For a moment, there was dead silence in the cell, followed by a panicked cry.

Cui Renshi's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself in disbelief: "How is this possible? Wang Qizhao...he actually..."

Zheng Renji's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, the arrogance on his face long gone.

"Has the Wang family been destroyed? We...we're afraid we're going to die here."

The other officials from the aristocratic families also showed fear on their faces and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

After a brief moment of shock, they seemed to have their spines suddenly pulled out and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Cui Renshi knelt forward, banged his forehead heavily on the ground, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was confused, please have mercy! I only ask Your Majesty to spare my life."

Zheng Renji also cried and said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. We are blind and have offended His Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. I, Zheng, am willing to serve Your Majesty with all my heart and will never have second thoughts again."

The others also followed suit and begged for mercy. Their former pride and reserve had long since disappeared, leaving only the fear of death.
