Li Shimin struggled slightly, then spoke as if he had made a great decision.

"Grandson, I am actually your biological grandfather!"

"Yes, I know!"

"I mean, I really am your grandfather!"

"I believe you!"

"You really believe that?"

"certainly!"

"Since you've said that, how can I not believe you?"

Li Jue chatted perfunctorily with Old Li for a few minutes before trying to persuade him to go to the Turkic Khaganate with him again.

"Old Li, you really should consider my suggestion!"

What are you considering?

"Let's go to the grasslands!"

"Just imagine, on a vast, boundless grassland under a clear sky, a gentle breeze blows through the grass, causing it to droop slightly, revealing herds of sheep and cattle—what a beautiful sight that is!"

Li Shimin, upon hearing this, said with a hint of resentment.

"You're still thinking about going to the grasslands?"

"certainly!"

"Even if I don't go this time, I will definitely go at least once in my life!"

"Where are you going?"

"Of course we're going to eat authentic hand-pulled mutton! Hahaha!"

Seeing that his grandson was only greedy for food, Li Shimin immediately felt a little relieved.

"Grandson, do you really want to become an official?"

"Would they even go to the Turks just to become an official?"

Li Jue shook his head upon hearing this.

"No!"

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to become an official in the Turkic Khaganate. It's just that my identity is too sensitive; if it comes to light, I'll die!"

Li Shimin felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing these words, thinking to himself how he could bear to part with him...

"Grandson, if you stay in the Tang Dynasty, I guarantee you will have a brighter future!"

"Further development?"

Li Jue reacted as if he had heard a joke.

"Old Li, do you know what title I was given by Yi Pi She Kui Feng?"

"He's going to appoint me as the Prime Minister of the Turks!"

"Why should I stay in the Tang Dynasty? To take over your position and continue guarding the gates for the Li Tang?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's heart stirred, and he looked at Li Jue with a playful expression.

"Isn't guarding the gate good enough?"

"not good!"

"Guarding the country's borders would be fine, but guarding the palace gates is just too boring!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "What ambition this grandson has! He actually wants to guard the gates of the Li Tang dynasty!"

"Do you even know where the gates of the Tang Dynasty are? Yet you keep saying you'll guard the gates for the Tang Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue smiled calmly.

"That depends on which border gate Li Weng wants to ask about. If Guanzhong is the border of the country, then it must be a pass like Yumen Pass or Hangu Pass."

"If we take China as the country, then there is Gaochang in the west, Shandong in the east, Tianshan in the north, and Lingnan in the south."

"If we consider the world as the nation, then the nation's gates are not in the dangers of mountains and rivers, nor in the boundaries of its borders, but in the hearts of the people!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was so excited that he slapped his thigh.

"Well said!"

"Because of what you said, I'll grant you a wish: whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"

"really?"

A gentleman's word is as good as gold!

"puff……"

Li Jue burst out laughing when he heard this. He realized that Old Li's biggest problem was his big mouth.

"Uncle Li, I have only one wish, and that is to let you and my aunt come with me to the Turkic Khaganate!"

Li Shimin was furious upon hearing this and grabbed Li Jue, giving him a sound beating.

"Why are you still thinking about the Turks? Hasn't the Tang Dynasty treated you well?!"

"not good!"

"What has the Tang Dynasty done to wrong you?"

"Everywhere I go, I'm letting you down!"

"My whole family was ruined and killed, all because of the Tang Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin, despite his burning anger, had no choice but to back down.

"This was my fault, and I apologize to you here!"

Li Jue stood up and curled his lip in disdain.

"What does this have to do with you?"

"Don't try to take the blame for someone else!"

"As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I will get my revenge on that old man Deng sooner or later!"

"Old Deng?"

Li Shimin suddenly became interested upon hearing this and asked with a smile.

"You brat, how do you plan to get revenge?"

"I'm going to use that... to send him to the back... to nurse the baby!"

Li Shimin understood immediately after a brief translation, since he had personally done it back then.

This bastard actually wants to repeat the Xuanwu Gate Incident and then send me to the harem to nurse the baby?

Tsk tsk!

I really want to hang him up and give him a good beating!

Li Shimin clenched his fists several times and gritted his teeth angrily before finally stopping himself from giving the bastard a good beating.

"I'm not going to waste any more words with you. After the military exercise is over, you'll come back to my family and take over my position!"

Li Jue felt nothing upon hearing this, but Zhang Anan, who was standing to the side, widened his eyes in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.

Has His Majesty finally decided to acknowledge his eldest grandson?

That's great!

If the eldest grandson returns to the throne and inherits His Majesty's throne, I will have done right by Chengqian!

"I don't want to guard the door for Li Er!"

"presumptuous!"

"put……"

Li Shimin was a beat slow, and soon realized that Zhang Anan had gotten there first.

"Cough cough..."

"Young master, please don't speak like that; it won't do you any good!"

Li Jue shook his head indifferently.

"No!"

"There are only the three of us here. If I keep hiding my thoughts, what's the point? I might as well go to the Turkic Khaganate and become a Jielifa!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"So you're fixated on Jielifa, aren't you?"
