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

"Can't help it?"

Li Chengqian's chest heaved violently and he was breathing heavily.

He narrowed his eyes, with scrutiny and suspicion in them, and stared at Qin Ruzhao.

"I have already issued an order to strengthen the defense of Songzhou City. I issued the order three months in advance. Did you know that?"

"What I didn't expect was that someone actually dared to conceal my order, which almost led to the loss of Songzhou."

"The intelligence sent by Governor Li of Yizhou has not yet reached the main army."

"As for who is behind this, I think you all know."

Li Chengqian slowly sat back on the dragon throne, holding the armrests tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white, and continued to speak to Qin Ruzhao.

"Ru Zhao, I have high hopes for you and will promote you!"

"It's not to make you an easily angered general."

"You are only eighteen this year. Why did I promote you to such a high position?"

"I want to train you!"

"What I want is a commander-in-chief of the three armies!"

"Rather than a general who is blinded by anger and knows only how to fight!"

"If you had just waited patiently for A to arrive!"

"Will so many brothers be killed or injured?"

"Do you, Qin Ruzhao, still have the nerve to return to Xianyang?"

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Qin Ruzhao knelt on the ground, closed his eyes, a look of regret on his face, and clenched his fists tightly: "Your Majesty, I will die!"

Looking at Qin Ruzhao like this, Li Chengqian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The anger on his face gradually dissipated, and a hint of fatigue and helplessness appeared in his eyes.

He sighed, his expression relaxed slightly, and his tone softened a little: "The merits and demerits are offset, and no one will be held accountable. Get up."

"You must remember, those who have thunder in their chests but a calm face can be promoted to generals!"

"Don't make this mistake again!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Qin Ruzhao said with red eyes, slowly stood up, stood aside, and lowered his head.

Li Chengqian straightened his back again and his eyes became firm.

"The army has returned. The aristocratic families are planning to rebel against me. I want you two to lead the army and eliminate all of them."

"Have Xianhuai send the Jinyiwei to follow you. Every time you go to a place, have the Jinyiwei check the local officials."

"Minor crimes will be exiled to Mobei, and serious crimes will be brought back and sent to Zhaoyu."

"You two are young and will recover quickly. Go back and recuperate for three days."

"Then send me the names of the fallen soldiers."

"We don't want the Kunlun slaves and Turkic soldiers, but we will provide them with compensation for their families."

"There are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who have sacrificed their lives. When the monument to heroes is completed, I will engrave their names on it."

"All the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion were buried in the Xianyang Cemetery."

"Go ahead and do it. Come to Liangyi Palace to see me in three days!"

After receiving the order, Qin Ruzhao and Xue Rengui walked out of the Liangyi Hall side by side.

Qin Ruzhao looked solemn and bit his lower lip tightly. Seeing this, Xue Rengui patted his shoulder and whispered.

"Ruzhao, don't blame yourself too much. Although His Majesty reprimanded you, he also gave you the opportunity to redeem yourself."

Qin Ruzhao nodded slightly and said with a wry smile, "Brother Rengui, I was indeed impulsive this time and endangered the lives of many brothers."

Today, Xianyang seems to be shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

On both sides of the street, people poured in like a tide, layer upon layer, blocking the road.

There was curiosity in their eyes.

Since the funeral of Emperor Taizong, the gates of Xianyang have been closed for a long time.

And today, the government announced that the city gates will be opened again.

Accompanied by a dull creaking sound, everyone stretched their necks and speculated in their hearts.

What kind of big shot could have the gates of Xianyang City opened for him?

One after another, magnificent carriages filed into Xianyang City.

The leading carriage was even more magnificent, with its body made of sandalwood and intricate patterns carefully carved on it.

Inside the car, Li Shimin sat upright on a soft brocade cushion. Although he was past his prime, his eyes were still sharp, revealing heroism and composure.

At this moment, his left hand gently embraced Xiao Sizi.

The small body curled up in his arms, and the little face of the little Sizi was pressed against his chest.
