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

Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples.

There was also a glint of pride in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince's action was risky, it fully demonstrates the style of our Great Tang."

His voice was steady and powerful, expressing his certainty in the prince's decision.

"He has the same spirit as His Majesty did back then."

Li Shimin's face was full of joy. He looked at Fang Xuanling with anticipation in his eyes.

"Lord Fang, you said you've been discussing this all day. Have you decided who to send to attack Tubo?"

There was a hint of urgency in his voice.

"My son has made a bold promise! He will destroy the Tubo nation and its people. Otherwise, he will commit suicide in the Imperial Ancestral Temple to thank the world!"

Li Shimin became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Then as a father, I must support you!"

As he spoke, he solemnly took out a black jade qilin from his sleeve and handed it to Fang Xuanling. The black jade qilin shone with a mysterious luster under the light, as if it contained endless power.

Fang Xuanling took the black jade Qilin with both hands. His movements were gentle and solemn, as if he was taking over a sacred object that concerned the fate of the country.

He looked at the black jade Qilin carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He knew very well that this was the military token of the three thousand black armored soldiers and one hundred cavalrymen, and it was the symbol of military power that Li Shimin cherished most.

"Your Majesty, this military token is extremely important. Have you really made your decision?"

His voice was a little low, with respect for Li Shimin's decision and a hint of worry.

"Lord Fang, please pass this to Cheng Qian tomorrow. It's the military token for three thousand Black Armored Soldiers and one hundred Cavalrymen."

Li Shimin looked serious.

"Seeing this military token is like seeing me!"

His eyes were extremely firm, as if he had already seen the victory of the Tang army on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. With this military token, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely be even more powerful."

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly. He knew that once Li Shimin made a decision, it would be difficult to change, and all he could do was support and assist him.

Once this thing is handed over, Your Majesty will truly be Your Majesty!

Seeing that Li Shimin had even taken out his two most powerful troops, Fang Xuanling's expression was slightly moved, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well the importance of these two armies to the Tang Dynasty, like two sharp swords protecting the country. Now Li Shimin handed them over to the prince without hesitation. This was an immense trust in the prince and also a gamble on the future of the country.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ji again, and Li Ji understood and walked out quickly.

After a while, he came in with a mahogany box, which exuded an ancient atmosphere.

Li Shimin placed the mahogany box on the table and opened it in front of Fang Xuanling. Inside were marked fish symbols, which were neatly arranged in the box and had a faint metallic luster.

"Lord Fang, give this to Cheng Qian tomorrow along with my military token. Even without these things, Cheng Qian, as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can mobilize them. But it won't be as easy as waving one arm."

Li Shimin gently stroked the fish symbol.

"There are 780,000 regular troops in the prefectures, counties, and garrisons across the country. I'm afraid I won't be able to use them all. Hand them all over to Cheng Qian."

His eyes showed both trust in his son and a hint of loneliness of a hero in his twilight years.

"I finally understand. Cheng Qian can lead the Tang Dynasty to a higher level!"

He shook his head slightly and sighed, "I am old, I can't refuse to accept my age!"

This famous emperor in history also showed a rare sense of frustration at this moment, and the traces left by the years on his body seemed to be more obvious at this moment.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin with emotion in his eyes.

He saw the helplessness and reluctance of this great emperor, and also saw his earnest expectations for the prince.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard for the Tang Dynasty your entire life. Now it is time to hand over the heavy responsibility to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

There was a touch of comfort in his voice.
