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

Yuan Tiangang looked up worriedly at Li Chengqian who was sitting on the dragon throne.

So many court officials are unanimously opposed, even though Your Majesty is the emperor.

But under the strong pressure of unanimous opinion, it would be difficult to make a decision on one's own and implement it smoothly, right?

"His Majesty……"

Yuan Tiangang bowed and was about to speak to comfort the emperor, but was interrupted by Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian sat upright on the dragon throne with a dignified look.

His gaze slowly swept over the ministers below who were trying hard to comfort him, and he said in a resounding voice: "My dear ministers, please listen to what I have to say."

"The Tang Dynasty was not established by relying on the imperial seal, but by the bloody battles of our soldiers, who expanded our territory and forged this vast empire with their blood and lives."

"After the world is pacified, the Imperial Seal will be in the hands of the Tang Dynasty."

"To put it bluntly, the Imperial Seal is just a useless piece of stone. What's truly useful are the soldiers who helped expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

"This tripod is also like this. Today, our Tang Dynasty is flourishing, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is at peace."

"Even though this tripod may be of some benefit in rallying the people, the Imperial Master has already solemnly proposed its destruction."

"Then I believe that this tripod will definitely bring disaster rather than blessing to our Tang Dynasty."

"Furthermore, this disaster must be so serious that even the Imperial Master cannot speak openly about it because the secret cannot be revealed."

"Therefore, destroying this tripod was a deliberate act of mine. The historians should simply record it truthfully. Now that I have made my decision, I am not afraid of any criticism or judgment from future generations."

Li Chengqian paused slightly, his eyes becoming sharper.

"Furthermore, if you don't believe what Master Yuan said, then why did you insist on the late emperor executing Empress Wu?"

"Why are you now contradicting me on this matter of the Nine Cauldrons?"

These words were like a heavy hammer, plunging them into silence.

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless. They knew that the prophecy about the female leader Wu had caused an uproar in the court. Everyone was wary of it, believing it could endanger the Tang Dynasty, and therefore urged the late emperor to take action.

Now that His Majesty brought up the old matter again, they didn't know how to refute it for a moment. They could only stand there silently, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

When Yuan Tiangang heard Li Chengqian's words, he immediately understood His Majesty's intention. He stepped forward and said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, the current mistress, Wu, is no longer the same as she was in the past."

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the aura of blessing has been radiating from the female leader, Wu, and it is growing stronger day by day. She will surely become a great helper to our Great Tang in the future, contributing extraordinary strength to our country."

After Yuan Tiangang said this, many old ministers were secretly angry. They had originally wanted to continue to give advice to the emperor, thinking that since the emperor believed Yuan Tiangang's words so much and was determined to destroy the tripod, then according to his previous concerns about the heroine Wu, shouldn't he also take action against her and execute her to prevent future troubles?

But they didn't expect that Yuan Tiangang's just-right words would directly block their thoughts in their throats, leaving them speechless and unable to express themselves. They could only bury their resentment deep in their hearts.

Li Chengqian glanced at Yuan Tiangang with satisfaction and nodded slightly. He then looked around the court and said loudly, "It's settled. My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will dismiss the court."

After saying this, Li Chengqian sat quietly on the dragon throne, waiting for the response from his ministers.

After a while, seeing that no one spoke again, Li Chengqian slowly stood up and left with steady steps under the gaze of everyone.

After Li Chengqian left, Eunuch Zhang's shrill and drawn-out voice finally rang out in the court: "Dismiss the court!"

The ministers looked at His Majesty's departing back, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
