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

"Your Majesty, are you not afraid of me?"

Li Jing held it in for a long time before finally uttering these words.

A complex look flashed in his eyes, including surprise, emotion, and a hint of doubt.

Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the empty palace, with a sense of confidence and open-mindedness.

"Li Jing, I thought you were a famous general, but I didn't expect you to be a naughty old man."

He walked over to Li Jing with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"What do I have to fear? I'm so young, why should I be afraid of a seventy-year-old old man like you coming to take my place?"

"Even if you take my position, how many years can you still be emperor, Li Jing?"

At this point, a smile flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes.

He slowly walked to Li Jing's side, put his hand on his shoulder, his eyes full of trust.

"Pharmacist, I want to give you military power because I trust you. Do whatever you want to do boldly."

"I want you to go to war with Tubo and help me dampen their morale. Of course, you don't have to annihilate them, just keep them outside the borders of the Tang Dynasty."

"When next spring comes, I will be free to completely exterminate Tubo."

Li Jing was about to speak when Li Chengqian interrupted him: "Although the Tubo invasion is urgent, there is no need to rush in the next two days. Pharmacist, go back and have a good rest."

He waved his hand.

"The court will give me a reply the day after tomorrow."

"By the way, this is for you, Pharmacist."

As he spoke, Li Chengqian took out something from his arms and threw it towards Li Jing.

Li Jing subconsciously caught the thing that Li Chengqian threw to him. He subconsciously took a closer look and found that it was a bronze-carved dragon.

The bronze dragon was lifelike, as if it was about to take off. Each scale was carved with extreme precision, and sparkled with mysterious light under the light.

"Pharmacist, this is the military talisman of my three thousand battalions. These are three thousand heavily armored cavalry. They are better equipped than my father's Black Armor Army. Their only shortcoming is that they haven't seen much blood."

"I'd like to ask the pharmacist to help me lead this team." Li Chengqian said solemnly.

After saying that, Li Chengqian waved to Li Jing, then turned and walked towards the inner hall, leaving Li Jing alone there.

After a while, Li Chengqian's figure disappeared into the darkness, and it seemed that he went back to sleep.

In the Liangyi Hall, Li Jing sat back in his seat, holding the military token tightly, as if it was the most important thing in his life.

He picked up the teacup and drank the tea in it. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had made some important decision.

……

Ganye Temple.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the ancient temple, casting a veil of mystery over everything.

Beside the well, a young girl sat quietly at the wellhead, like a beautiful painting.

Her eyes were like stars, clear and bright, sparkling charmingly under the moonlight, as if hiding countless secrets.

Her skin is whiter than snow and as delicate as mutton-fat white jade. It glows with a warm luster under the moonlight, as if it is the purest jade in the world.

Even if all her black hair fell out, it could not hide her charm. That charm came from her bones, like a poppy blooming in the dark night, beautiful and dangerous.

"Coo, cho, cho."

On the path behind the door, the cuckoo's call broke the silence of the night.

When the girl heard the voice, her heart moved. She looked around and found that there was no one around. Then she stood up quietly. Her movements were as light as a cat.

She took small steps to the side yard and gently opened the back door.

Outside the door was a young man dressed in green with a handsome face.

The moonlight shone on him, creating a faint halo around him.

"Zhi Nu, you're here!"

There was surprise in the girl's eyes, and that surprise was like fireworks that suddenly bloomed in the night sky, lighting up her eyes.
