"Why are you talking about me like this again now? Isn't this change a little too fast?"

"Also, you scold me at least twice in three days! You say I'm obsessed with studying strange and cunning tricks all day long. How did I get to Xianyang? Father, have you forgotten? My father! Have you changed a little too much?"

There was a hint of bitterness in his words.

When Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian's words, the muscles on his face stiffened noticeably, and he was obviously choked and speechless. However, he quickly adjusted his expression and pretended not to hear anything. He continued, "Chengqian, do you know what my father loves most in his life?"

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Chengqian felt a moment of confusion in his mind, as if he had heard a similar question at some point in time.

He tilted his head back slightly, searching his mind intently for fragments of memory. After a long pause, he finally understood and said, "Old Li, don't you usually love antiques, calligraphy, and paintings? I'll ask Fatty Lin to search around for some and tinker with them for you. Maybe that'll make you feel better."

Li Chengqian said tentatively, his eyes still full of confusion about Li Shimin's true intentions.

Li Shimin shook his head gently, a hint of melancholy in his eyes: "Cheng Qian, father no longer likes those antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Father, like you, is also an emperor with a broad mind."

"You also know that my father has always been a person who cares most about face. Now that you have ascended the throne and become the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, my father has grown old."

"In the future, your achievements will undoubtedly far surpass those of the Emperor. Although his previous achievements were quite remarkable at the time, they were also widely praised by the ministers in the court."

"But compared to your brilliant achievements in future history books, I'm really worried that future generations will gradually forget me, and I won't leave a deep mark in the history books!"

The more Li Chengqian listened, the more he felt something was amiss. He carefully looked Li Shimin up and down, looking at him with a strange look in his eyes: "Father, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush like this."

"Whatever you ask your son to do, he will definitely agree to it! Why do you have to do these confusing things?"

Li Chengqian really couldn't stand Li Shimin's hesitant attitude, and just wanted to find out as soon as possible what Old Li was going to do!

When Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian's words, his face, which had just been red and sad, suddenly broke into a brilliant smile. There was a sly smirk in that smile: "Chengqian, are you serious? Don't just perfunctorily answer your father. You must do what you say."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin, who was now as innocent and slightly mischievous as a child, and sighed helplessly: "Father, the king never jokes! Please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."

"Alright, alright! Cheng Qian, I'd like to discuss something with you. Could you please give me all the achievements from the first, second, and third years of Qianwu?"

"How about until the end of this year? Starting from the fourth year of Qianwu, father will definitely not take away your achievements anymore, okay?"

"How about you ask the historian to change it and put all your achievements in the 13th, 14th, and 15th years of the Zhenguan period?"

There was a glint of anticipation in Li Shimin's eyes, and there was even a hint of coquettishness in his voice. He looked at Li Chengqian eagerly, waiting for his reply.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he felt a little nervous.

"That's brilliant! You know, this is just a little fun for Aye. This is really a bit too much!"

"But Aye really has no choice. Aye has seen that your future achievements will definitely be even more outrageous!"

"Aye's previous achievements were quite reasonable, but now that you've taken the throne and accomplished so many earth-shattering things, it seems that everything Aye did before is insignificant, like he's just a piece of crap!"

"Please, my good son, just agree to my request this time. When I go down, I will praise you every day in front of your mother, okay?"

"How about changing that cannon to Zhenguan Cannon in the history books?"

As Li Shimin spoke, he made a pleading look with longing in his eyes.

His words contained both praise for his son and a hint of reluctance at having his past achievements covered up, but more of it was a special kind of "dependence" and "trust" on Li Chengqian.

At this moment, he was just an ordinary father who longed to be helped by his son.
