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

"This battlefield tour group is heading to a dangerous frontier battlefield. The journey is long and arduous. For us military commanders who have fought on the battlefield for many years, this is naturally something new and interesting."

"But this is completely different from your usual paperwork!"

"It's really interesting for us to be able to watch the battle!"

Wei Zheng raised his head slightly with a faint smile on his face. He first slowly glanced at Cheng Yaojin's face full of doubts, and then passed his gaze over him and fell on Yuchi Jingde behind him.

Wei Zheng gently straightened his clothes and said slowly, "You two generals have fought bravely on the battlefield for many years and have made great achievements."

"It's a pity that I've been trapped in the court all my life, buried in paperwork, and never had the opportunity to witness the heroic scenes of how the warriors of our Tang Dynasty fought bravely on the battlefield, how they achieved great success and promoted the prestige of our country."

"I have always harbored this deep regret in my heart. Now that I have this opportunity, am I going to pass it up just because I'm a civil servant?"

"Are you military commanders the only ones allowed to go to this battlefield? Why can't I, a civilian official, go?"

When Yuchi Jingde heard Wei Zheng's powerful words, he was slightly stunned.

He really didn't like this stubborn old man who always spoke his mind and gave advice.

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, everyone knew that Yuchi Jingde was loyal to Li Shimin and was the most loyal follower of Li Shimin. He was even nicknamed the number one lackey.

But even though he had some resistance to Wei Zheng's style of doing things, he knew Wei Zheng's weight in the court and still had deep respect for his integrity and profound knowledge.

Yuchi Jingde frowned, walked quickly to Wei Zheng, looked at his slightly frail figure, and said earnestly, "Old Wei, look at your frail frame. This battlefield is not a place for children to play house. Even if His Majesty says this is a sightseeing tour, the difficulties and dangers involved should not be underestimated."

"At your age, you don't have the rich experience we have accumulated through fighting on the battlefield. Once you embark on that journey on the battlefield, I'm afraid you will not be able to acclimatize yourself, and your body will not be able to withstand the harsh environment and the hard work!"

"I think you should give up this idea as soon as possible."

"Look at those who want to go on battlefield tours now. Which one of them is not a rough and tumble military general like us? How could a civil official get involved?"

Wei Zheng listened quietly to Yuchi Jingde's words, his eyes lingering on his face for a moment, his eyes showing calmness.

He bowed slightly, smiled, and cupped his hands, his voice steady and powerful: "I thank General Yuchi for his kindness and reminder."

"Although there are currently no civil officials on this list, I want to be the first to break the rules and go to the battlefield. With my eyes as a civil official, I can see the ever-changing situation on the battlefield."

"As a Tang Dynasty official, why not?"

Seeing Wei Zheng's determination, Yuchi Jingde knew that once the old man made up his mind, it would be difficult to change it. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Old Wei, your temper is really unchangeable."

"Since you have decided to go, you must make all preparations in advance."

"This isn't a sightseeing trip. The battlefield is treacherous and full of all kinds of situations."

Wei Zheng smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, General Yuchi. I will act with caution."

"Although I lack the courage to fight in battle, I have the wisdom to see through the world and will not act rashly."

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and laughed, "That's all. Old Man Wei has such courage. I, Old Cheng, admire him."

"Perhaps if you, a civil servant, go along, you can leave a good reputation for future generations, and let us, the rough folk, also benefit from it."
