The jade belt around Li Chengqian's waist was inlaid with beautiful and warm jade, which further highlighted his upright posture.

He listened quietly to Li Shimin's words, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The smile was full of complex emotions, including respect, intimacy, and a hint of ridicule.

"You are really infatuated!"

Li Chengqian said softly, with a relaxed tone.

After saying that, he sighed slowly.

Then, he slowly leaned back on the chair with exquisite carvings. The wood of the chair exuded a faint scent of sandalwood, which eased his tense nerves a little.

"Old Li, being an emperor is so tiring!"

Li Chengqian raised his head slightly and looked at the dome with a somewhat empty gaze.

There was a strong sense of weariness in his voice, and all the hardships and difficulties along the way were reflected in this simple sentence.

Li Shimin sat upright aside. When he heard Li Chengqian's words, he reached out and picked up the teacup on the table.

Li Shimin blew gently on the tea leaves floating on the water, and the steaming aroma of tea instantly spread, curling up in the air. He took a sip of the hot tea, feeling the warm tea slide down his throat and moisten his dry lips.

"If you want to be a wise monarch, how can you not be tired?"

Li Shimin put down the teacup and looked at Li Chengqian, his eyes extremely calm.

"If I had your current achievements, I would be lying comfortably every day."

There was a hint of emotion in his words.

"Aye really can't see through you, Cheng Qian. The world is already stable. What else do you want?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"Such an achievement is already the greatest in all dynasties. What are you thinking?"

He wanted to find the answer that had always eluded him.

Li Chengqian leaned his head on the chair, closed his eyes, and gently rubbed his temples with his slender fingers, trying to dispel the fatigue that lingered in his heart.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes revealing a kind of persistence.

"Aye, although the world is now stable, can it remain stable forever?"

Li Chengqian's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear.

"Until now, it's just been one reincarnation after another. The world has changed masters one after another, but no matter how many masters have changed, the people of this world still live in the same poverty."

"What I want is for the people to live a good life for generations to come."

Li Chengqian sat up straight, clenched his fists, and spoke in a firm and powerful tone, leaving no room for doubt.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian without much surprise in his eyes. He knew in his heart that his son had great ambitions, but he did not expect that his ambitions were so big.

At least Li Shimin had never had such a long-term and grand vision. He saw very clearly that there was no such thing as a thousand-year dynasty in this world. The country would always change hands, it was only a matter of time.

Being able to do things well while in office is already a remarkable thing.

As for what happens after you die, just let it go.

"Cheng Qian, Aye still needs to talk to you. This will make you very tired. Is it worth it?"

Li Shimin said earnestly.

"Your current achievements are enough for you to be recorded in the book of merit and be remembered in history."

"If you continue like this, you'll probably end up with nothing, or even end up ruined."

As he spoke, he glanced at his son meaningfully, his eyes filled with a father's worry for his son.

Li Chengqian didn't care at all. He waved his hand casually, with a bit of unrestrained and free-spiritedness in his action.

"There's nothing to worry about. I'll do whatever you want to do."

"What can the world give me?"

A confident smile lit up his face.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and laughed, and he also laughed. For a moment, the entire main hall was filled with the hearty laughter of the two.
