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

But now it’s different. Fang Xuanling only needs to give a simple order, and within an hour, Chen Fusheng can get things done properly, just like a skilled craftsman carving a piece of jade, handling every detail just right.

Whenever Fang Xuanling saw things completed so smoothly, his heart was filled with relief.

Driven by these young forces, the efficiency of the court, a huge and complex machine, has increased several times or even dozens of times compared with the past, or even more than that.

The improvement in efficiency was like a horse running free from its reins, changing the court's administrative processing model at lightning speed.

This also made him full of confidence in the future development of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Fang Xuanling frowned slightly at this time, his heart full of worry.

When going to the expedition against Xueyantuo, Li Ji was the chief general chosen by His Majesty. This was a normal thing, but what troubled him was that His Majesty actually brought Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde with him.

Fang Xuanling was well aware of the risk His Majesty was taking.

How could the emperor be so impulsive? The battlefield is dangerous. If something goes wrong, how sad His Majesty would be!

Moreover, Li Shimin specifically instructed him to announce to everyone at today's court meeting that Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were ill in bed.

When Fang Xuanling thought of this difficult task, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

He complained bitterly in his heart, "Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde are both nearly fifty years old and about to become grandfathers. Why are they still acting so recklessly and irrationally?

This request for leave is so absurd, and those officials in the court are not easy to fool. I, Fang Xuanling, really don't know how to speak!"

"Your Majesty has ordered that the court meeting be postponed for one hour! Please make your own arrangements!"

A young eunuch hurried to the outside of the palace gate, and his shrill voice cut through the slightly dull air in front of the palace gate, announcing Li Chengqian's decree.

As the young eunuch ran, he thought, "There are so many things going on today. I wonder if anything big will happen at the court meeting."

At Gwanghwamun, soldiers were dressed in light armor that gleamed coldly in the sunlight. They held long spears in their hands, their postures standing tall and straight like pine trees, looking extremely majestic.

Every soldier's heart is filled with complex emotions about the upcoming war, including reluctance to leave his hometown and nervousness about the battle, but more importantly, a sense of honor to fight for the Tang Dynasty.

The soldiers in charge of logistics pushed box after box of food and formed a long line, like a winding dragon, marching towards the outside of the city.

These logistics soldiers are fully aware of the heavy responsibility they have.

These foods are related to the life and death of the soldiers on the front line. As the saying goes, before the troops move, the food and fodder must go first. The scale of the logistical preparations for this expedition is staggering.

It has been three days since the food was started to be transported, but even now, the team transporting food still seems to be endless, like a long river with no end, continuously supplying energy to the expeditionary army.

Li Ji stood in front of the team, looking at the endless grain transport team, his heart filled with shock.

How long did this grain transport line stretch? He looked at the sky, estimated that the time was almost up, and without hesitation, he jumped on his horse.

Li Ji rode up to the soldiers and shouted, "Soldiers! Today we will embark on a journey to Mobei to fight the Xueyantuo!"

"We are the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, your majesty's sharp sword! We carry the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the hopes of the people!"

His eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning the faces of every soldier.

"I know that some of you have families back home worried about you, and some of you are worried about the distant battlefields, but don't forget that we are here to protect the peace of the Tang Dynasty and to allow our loved ones to live in peace."
