Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Chapter 122 I am a tyrant

Li Tai devoured all the dishes in no time, leaving only some leftovers on the plates on the table.

Li Chengqian called the servants and whispered to them to bring in more dishes.

Everyone was full of food and drink, with satisfied expressions on their faces, except Li Shimin, who was absent-minded while eating.

His mind was completely occupied by the badge he had just obtained. From time to time, he would carefully take it out of his arms and hold it in his palm to examine it carefully.

His eyes were full of expectation and longing. Prices in Xianyang were high, but this small waist badge could start a luxurious retirement life in his later years.

Thinking back to what I saw and heard in Xianyang in the past, the exquisite items and unique enjoyment there made other places pale in comparison.

"It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!" Li Shimin sighed secretly in his heart. Even he was an emperor who had experienced many hardships and had strict self-discipline.

Even Panasonic was lost in the midst of the decadence and extravagance, let alone others.

In the past, Li Shimin felt that there was nothing he hadn't seen or thought about, so naturally, he didn't have any thoughts of extravagance and lust, which he found boring.

Now he feels that he was really pretentious before.

My vision is too narrow and I have never seen good things.

Li Tai looked at Li Shimin with a bewildered look as he frequently played with the badge, his heart full of puzzlement.

In his opinion, this was just an ordinary waist badge, why was it worth Aye cherishing it so much?

Little did he know that in the future, he would be more obsessed with this badge than anyone else.

After eating and drinking, Li Chengqian patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said, "Father, come with me to the quiet room and talk."

Then he turned to Mr. Qi and said, "Mr. Qi, please entertain my two uncles."

"Ask the shopkeeper to make a pot of tea."

"Yes!" Mr. Qi responded respectfully.

Li Shimin looked up at his son, with some doubts, slowly stood up and followed him to the quiet room in the house.

Although this quiet room is not large, it is decorated very elegantly and has a unique artistic conception.

Hung on the wall were paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, with delicate brushstrokes and lingering ink. Li Shimin couldn't help but take a few more glances, his eyes revealing appreciation and admiration.

A set of exquisite tea sets and a pot of freshly brewed fragrant tea were brought in.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and the waiter retreated quietly.

For a moment, only Li Chengqian and Li Shimin were left in the quiet room.

"Aye, do you still have severe headaches recently?"

Li Chengqian was the first to break the silence and looked at Li Shimin with concern.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and shook his head gently: "It doesn't hurt much anymore. It hasn't hurt since I became emperor."

As he spoke, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

He asked back, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Li Chengqian picked up the teacup and blew away the hot steam in it gently.

After taking a sip, he slowly said, "Aye, the wind disease may be a hereditary disease of my Li family. Jinyang's wind disease recurred a while ago."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin's face instantly showed anxiety, and he leaned forward slightly: "Little Sizi? Are you feeling better now?"

Li Chengqian nodded. "He's awake now. I've asked Sun Simiao to come over. Together with the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau and students from my Xianyang Medical College, we're working together to figure out how to treat the rheumatic disease."

"It's just... I don't know if it will succeed."

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin's expression gradually became solemn. After a long silence, he spoke: "Let Xiao Sizi go to Xianyang with me. I know that the medical skills of your doctors in Xianyang are better than those of the Imperial Medical Bureau, right?"

"I remember Hao Ren from the military camp before. He was quite good at medicine. Can he do it?"

Li Shimin's eyes were full of expectation, and he stared at Li Chengqian, as if praying that he could create a miracle.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin's expectant eyes and finally shook his head helplessly: "It's not that simple, but it's not that difficult either."

"I plan to send this medical team treating wind disease to Xianyang, so they can focus on their research there. Even if they can't completely cure it, at least they can alleviate most of the symptoms."

"Aye, I know when you have a headache, it's worse than death. It would be great if there was medicine that could give you relief."

"I also plan to have Mr. Sun Simiao go to Xianyang to retire, so he can take care of you then."

After hearing Li Chengqian's arrangement, Li Shimin nodded with confidence: "You are the head of the family now, you make the decision."

"Aye, there are so many of your brothers and sisters in the palace, how do you want to deal with them?"

Li Chengqian changed the subject and mentioned this matter. Li Shimin frowned slightly and looked embarrassed.

These children of Li Yuan really gave him a headache, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

He looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "Do you want to send them all to Xianyang?"

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin with a firm expression: "If they are not sent to Xianyang, they will be made kings in the future. The court's expenses are too high, and they will not benefit our Tang Dynasty at all."

"I plan to change the imperial clan system. From now on, all royal relatives will be sent to Xianyang to study."

"After you finish your studies, you can come to my Tang Dynasty to serve as an official. If you are sent to the local areas, you will become a useful official and increase the influence of my Li Tang royal family."

"You also know that my son is going to go to war with the aristocratic family. It is not difficult for me to destroy the aristocratic family with the troops I have. I am not afraid even if they have a million troops."

"The problem is the lack of vacancies for local officials. If these children go there in the future, they can also contribute to my Tang Dynasty."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin nodded in agreement: "Although the idea is good, I'm afraid that the royal family will have a lot of opinions about you in the future."

"Their opinions are not important. I will also send you your son and daughter so that you can enjoy the joy of family life."

"As for the royal family..."

Li Chengqian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an uninhibited smile: "I am not you. I am a tyrant. Their opinions are not important to me!"
