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

Even those military generals who were usually careless and only knew how to wield swords and guns were not immune at this moment.

They racked their brains to find the last bit of ink from their stomachs, their faces flushed, they searched for all the words of praise in their minds, and flattered Mr. Qi, just to get more information from him.

Mr. Qi, on the other hand, was all smiles, and he patiently explained the subsidy issue in detail to the ministers who came to ask questions.

His voice was gentle and patient, and every word he said was like the warm sunshine in winter, warming the hearts of the ministers.

Fang Xuanling was also very excited. Curiosity was burning in his heart like a flame, and he couldn't wait to come forward and ask about the details.

But when he thought that His Majesty was still at home, he felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. He could only suppress his inner curiosity and walked home with heavy steps.

As he walked, he saw people like Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde all surrounding Mr. Qi like fish in water, and he couldn't help but groan in his heart.

After returning home, Fang Xuanling first looked around cautiously, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply to see if his wife was at home.

After confirming that his wife had gone to the market, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, tiptoed to the kitchen, and quietly told the servants to prepare some food.

When the food was ready, he sneaked into the side room with the food box in his arms.

"Your Majesty, I am late. Please eat something!"

Fang Xuanling spoke softly as he quickly closed the door of the side room, his movements as fast as lightning, and then handed the food box in his hand to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had not eaten for a day and was already starving. He was counting on Fang Xuanling for lunch.

As soon as he took the food box, he couldn't wait to open it, not even bothering to taste the food. He gobbled it up like a hungry wolf, and his eating posture completely lost its former dignity.

Seeing His Majesty like this, Fang Xuanling felt very sorry and his eyes were slightly filled with tears.

"I am guilty and have caused suffering to Your Majesty!"

His voice was filled with remorse and guilt.

Li Shimin ate the corn in the lunch box and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"What are you talking about, Lord Fang? I, Li Shimin, have endured all kinds of hardships during my military campaigns. What does this even compare to? Compared to ordinary people, I'm already living a very good life!"

There was a sense of heroism in his tone, as if all the hardships were just passing clouds in his eyes.

"How do you feel about attending court today? My rebellious son is probably going to cause some trouble again. For my sake, I hope Lord Fang will bear with him."

There was a hint of pleading in Li Shimin's tone.

Fang Xuanling seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"Your Majesty, there are many things to do at court this morning. I'm afraid I'll be tied up in official duties for a while and won't be able to visit you at any time."

He paused, a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Now that Divine Doctor Sun is traveling the world, I have saved some money over the years, and I am handing it all over to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you can stay at the residences of Yuchi Gong, Li Ji, or Cheng Zhijie for a while. They are all military commanders, and they don't have as much to do as I do. I am guilty of not being able to take good care of Your Majesty!"

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin felt very curious and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Lord Fang, please go and take care of your official duties. I don't mind. Chang'an is open to any place. Lord Fang, please tell me what happened at the court this morning. I'll see what all the official duties were. A new emperor appoints new ministers. I'll also like to see Cheng Qian's methods."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling bowed slightly and began to tell the story...

After Fang Xuanling told Li Shimin everything that happened today from beginning to end, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were deep, and his mind was constantly thinking about his son's actions.
