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

"Come, relax. This will be your home from now on. There aren't many people in my harem, so you don't have to worry about taking care of it."

"I will send all those children to Xianyang in a while."

"You don't need to be too restrained in the palace."

Su Zhi looked at Li Chengqian's face in the candlelight and couldn't help but feel moved.

A son with the talent of a dragon and a phoenix, a match made in heaven and earth.

She also has the same captivating face.

Li Jing returns to the court victoriously!

In the 15th year of the Zhenguan reign, the Tang Dynasty launched two foreign wars, winning both battles.

This is just the first year of Qianwu!

The victory in the battle greatly enhanced the national honor of the people of Chang'an.

When they walked on the streets of Chang'an and sometimes saw foreigners, they would hold their heads high, their hearts filled with pride.

Humph! No matter what country it is, it is no match for the Tang Dynasty.

Inside the Liangyi Hall.

Li Jing, Hou Junji, Qin Ruzhao, and Xue Rengui gathered together.

These four were generals appointed by Li Chengqian at that time.

Li Jing and Hou Junji were both veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles, so it goes without saying that they were proficient in warfare strategies.

Qin Ruzhao and Xue Rengui are the new generation of military generals in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the veteran generals, their combat experience and command ability are indeed still lacking.

Li Chengqian had always intended to carefully cultivate Xue Rengui, and this time he let him go into battle in order to hone his skills more on the battlefield.

This is the ruthless man who conquered Tianshan with three arrows!

Li Chengqian sat upright on the armchair, his posture erect. His eyes, however, showed a hint of fatigue. His brows were slightly furrowed, his gaze solemn as he slowly scanned the faces of the people.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Generals, we won this battle and pacified Tubo in one fell swoop. You all played an indispensable role. However, the casualties were a bit too heavy."

After saying that, he looked at Li Jing and Hou Junji and waved his hand gently, "General Li, General Hou, you can withdraw first."

"I will reward you according to your merits at the court meeting."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jing and Hou Junji bowed and then stepped back.

There were only two young men left in the Liangyi Hall at this time.

What Xue Rengui said about being young is not quite accurate. The Chinese New Year has already passed this year, and Xue Rengui is already 28 years old.

Li Chengqian stared at Qin Ruzhao with a hint of barely perceptible disappointment in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and his expression was serious and intimidating.

Qin Ruzhao noticed Li Chengqian's gaze, his lips trembled slightly, and he immediately knelt on the ground with a plop.

He was the first one to arrive at the Liangyi Palace to wait, and he knew in his heart that he would probably be held accountable by His Majesty, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes at this moment.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

Li Chengqian's voice was low, and every word was filled with heavy majesty, and the gloom on his face became increasingly thick.

Hearing Li Chengqian's question, Qin Ruzhao raised his head, his eyes full of stubbornness, his brows furrowed tightly, "Your Majesty, I don't think I'm wrong!"

"Tubo cannot be allowed to stay!"

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly, his brows furrowed even deeper, almost forming the Chinese character "川". His eyes were full of helplessness and heartache, and his tone became heavier.

"I'm not talking about this. I don't think there's anything wrong with you exterminating the Tubo race."

"What I want to say is that the Three Thousand Battalion is my most elite force."

"There are three thousand heavily armored cavalrymen, and you are just lightly armored and going head-on with the Tibetan cavalry. What are you trying to achieve?"

"Is it impressive to win?"

“Such a huge loss!”

"Have you ever thought about why?"

Qin Ruzhao knelt on the ground, his lips tightly pursed, his eyes wandering, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Li Chengqian suddenly stood up from the armchair, and the corners of his dragon robe swayed.

He took a step forward and kicked Qin Ruzhao, knocking him to the ground. He shouted with his eyes wide open in anger.

"I ask you!"

"Have you ever thought about why?"

"Answer me!"

Qin Ruzhao got up from the ground and knelt again, his eyes red and his voice choked with sobs: "Your Majesty."

"I couldn't help it. Looking at the corpses of the people and children on the ground, I was so angry that I couldn't control myself."
