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

There was regret and reluctance in Fang Xuanling's voice, and his eyes revealed his concern for the young emperor.

An elder who is about to go on a long journey is full of reluctance to leave his beloved younger generation.

As the train slowly moved forward, the familiar scenery outside the window came into everyone's sight frame by frame.

Chang'an, the capital city that carries the glory of the Tang Dynasty and has witnessed countless historical changes, is now within reach.

After a long year, the last prime minister of the Tang Dynasty once again set foot on this familiar land.

Looking at the scenes around him that were once so familiar, Fang Xuanling's eyes flickered with complex light.

All the past glories, setbacks and hardships flashed through his mind one by one.

"Your Majesty, I was born into the Fang family. Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, I have followed the Emperor Retired. I have traveled all the way through wind and rain, and experienced countless hardships and dangers."

"During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, it was the old ministers who urged the retired emperor to act decisively and preemptively, which led to the subsequent prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

"I have spent half of my life in Chang'an. Later, I went to Xianyang for recuperation. I thought I would never be able to visit Chang'an again in this life, but I never expected that I would be able to return to Chang'an again today."

Fang Xuanling closed his eyes, his voice trembling slightly, with a hint of indescribable emotion.

"Your Majesty, please take good care of your health in the future and avoid staying up late to handle government affairs as you did in the past. The young people in the cabinet today are all very talented and have great potential."

"And then there's Grand Tutor Qi, who is an even more remarkable figure. His talent and strategy are, in some respects, even better than those of this old minister."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. With these capable ministers and wise counselors assisting us, the Tang Dynasty will surely prosper."

"No matter what changes we may encounter in the future, Your Majesty, please remember that my heart will always be with you."

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has you. I am very confident that Your Majesty will succeed!"

Li Chengqian was deeply moved by Fang Xuanling's heartfelt words. He nodded heavily and replied softly, "I understand, Prime Minister Fang."

"I will definitely remember your teachings and live up to your expectations."

At this time, he could clearly see the majestic outline of Chang'an City in the distance, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.

He gently held Fang Xuanling's hand, shook it slightly, and said with a hint of childish pride on his face, "Prime Minister Fang, look, we're finally back in Chang'an. Wasn't this journey very fast?"

But Li Chengqian's words fell on deaf ears, and Fang Xuanling did not respond for a long time.

Li Chengqian's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He slowly let go of Fang Xuanling's hand, only to see the hand hanging down weakly, as if it had lost all life.

Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Fang Xuanling who was still leaning against him. There was a faint smile of satisfaction on his face, as if he had seen the ideal world in Li Chengqian's heart in his dream.

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand in disbelief and placed it tremblingly under Fang Xuanling's nose, trying to feel that faint breath.

When he confirmed that Fang Xuanling had left him, his hands suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but hug Fang Xuanling tightly in his arms, saying in a choked voice: "Prime Minister Fang, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor..."

In an instant, tears welled up in his eyes and Li Chengqian's voice trembled.

"Prime Minister Fang, you clearly promised me that you would stay with me for another two years! How could you just leave like this?"

His voice became softer and softer, filled with reluctance.

Finally, Li Chengqian could no longer suppress his inner grief and burst into tears. The crying was a little suppressed at first, but then it became louder and louder.

He hugged Fang Xuanling tightly, as if trying to wake him up with his body temperature, and kept shouting, "Liar! Liar! Liar!"

"Prime Minister Fang! You are the most deceitful old man in the world!"

"Wake up! We're here in Chang'an!"

"Will you not come to Liangyi Palace to discuss matters with me in the future?"

"I've even had someone sprinkle your favorite tea leaves into your teacup! I'm just waiting for you to pour some water for you!"

"My dear Fang Xiang! I can't bear to leave you!..."
