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

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true, but our army also suffered heavy casualties at that time."

"The individual capabilities of the Tibetan soldiers should not be underestimated. They are on par with our Tang soldiers."

"This is why the late emperor wanted to pacify Tubo first."

"However, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. As long as you send Li Jing as commander-in-chief and Hou Junji as deputy commander-in-chief, Tubo will have nothing to fear!"

Hearing Mr. Qi's words, Li Chengqian's inner pressure was indeed relieved a lot. He smiled and said, "Master Qi, listening to you speak, I feel like I am bathed in spring breeze."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

"Let's go back!"

In the Liangyi Hall, Li Simo was standing anxiously, his eyes full of fear and uneasiness.

Seeing Li Chengqian come in, he quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please send troops to rescue my tribe as soon as possible!"

Li Chengqian said calmly, "Stand up, I know everything!"

He looked at Li Simo quietly, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Although Li Simo was considered a general of the Tang Dynasty and was loyal to the Tang Dynasty,

But Li Chengqian had complicated feelings towards him.

After all, these foreign generals were more loyal to their father Li Shimin. The title of Khan was not empty, and it could really make these foreign generals serve the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Chengqian was not worried about Li Simo's rebellion. The kindness his father had shown him was enough for Li Simo to remember for the rest of his life, and he would never forget to repay the kindness until his death.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian decided to continue treating Li Simo the same way his father did.

"Simo, you must have had a hard time on the journey! The Xueyantuo have betrayed us, and the Tang Dynasty will never sit idly by!"

Li Chengqian's tone was firm and powerful, as if every word carried his determination to avenge the Turks.

When Li Simo heard Li Chengqian's words, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

Before coming, he was very nervous because he knew that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had been replaced. It was no longer the Khan he admired, but the Khan's son Li Chengqian.

He was not sure about the temperament of the new emperor and was afraid that he would be different from the previous emperor and turn a blind eye to the disaster of the Turkic tribes.

Now, feeling Li Chengqian's enthusiasm and determination, Li Simo's heart was like a turbulent wave. He had received kindness from two generations of the Li family, and he didn't know how to repay them.

"Your Majesty, Minister of War Li Ji and Duke of Wei Li Jing request an audience with Your Majesty!"

"Xuan!"

After the young eunuch brought in the two generals, he quietly retreated.

Li Jing and Li Ji looked at each other and saw Li Simo kneeling on the ground crying loudly. They roughly understood the situation.

"Your Majesty, Li Jing."

"Your Majesty, this is Li Ji."

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The two men bowed.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Please take a seat. Bring me three chairs."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, three young eunuchs brought three chairs and placed them opposite Li Chengqian.

"Everyone, sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jing and Li Ji took their seats one after another after expressing their gratitude.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Simo and said, "Li Simo, you sit down too."

Li Simo's eyes were full of flattery, and he shouted quickly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian's slender and powerful fingers kept tapping on the imperial desk. The rhythmic sound echoed in the quiet palace, and each tap seemed to strike at everyone's heart.

The three people sitting in front of the imperial desk lowered their heads, not daring to look around at all. All their attention was focused on Li Chengqian's constantly moving hands.

"Serve tea to the three gentlemen!"

Li Chengqian's majestic yet gentle voice rang out in the palace.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The servants responded in unison, and their well-trained figures got busy quickly and orderly.

After a while, three cups of steaming hot tea were steadily delivered to the three people.

The aroma of tea rises and spreads in the air.

"This tea is good. We just had the first batch picked and roasted these past two days."

Li Chengqian introduced with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The three of them responded in unison, but their eyes were still somewhat restrained as they looked at the steaming teacup in front of them, with their hands placed neatly at their sides, not daring to touch it easily.
