In the thirty-fifth year of the Zhenguan era, Li Shimin, who had spent his whole life on the battlefield, closed his eyes once again in the Apang Palace.

In the netherworld, he saw Qin Shihuang.

"Great Tang Tian Khan, you have worked hard. I have been waiting for you here for a long time," Qin Shihuang said to Li Shimin, expressing his sincere gratitude.

Li Shimin didn't understand.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "In my life, whether future generations regard me as the greatest emperor or a tyrant, I don't care and have no regrets. Only Fu Su, I have always been worried about him. He has been lonely since childhood, too pure in character. I sent him to the Upper Prefecture, hoping that Meng Tian could help him gain experience and protect him."

At this point, Qin Shihuang's face showed a bitter smile. "But I didn't expect that he would choose to end his life because of a fake imperial edict. It deeply saddened me."

"I inherited the mandate of heaven and became the first emperor of the mortal world. With the fortune bestowed upon me, I can communicate with the gods even after entering the netherworld. So... I paid the price of not reincarnating and eternal damnation in the netherworld, making you Fu Su. As for the original Fu Su, he has long become a wealthy young man in a prosperous era of peace."

"I came to see you just to express my gratitude. You can consider this as a father's gratitude to someone who saved his son's life."

After Qin Shihuang finished speaking, he bowed once again and left.

Li Shimin stared at the background of Qin Shihuang's departure, standing there for a long time before sighing deeply.

"Fu Su, how unfortunate and fortunate your life has been."

With that, Li Shimin raised his head and walked confidently towards the depths of the netherworld.

Regardless of what lies ahead, he fears nothing.

Epilogue:

Five hundred years later, after numerous emperors, the Great Qin Dynasty eventually reached its end, with uprisings breaking out in various regions.

That night, the rebel forces attacked Xianyang.

Many ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, seeing the inevitable decline, welcomed the messengers sent by the rebels into the Apang Palace, appearing as if they were exchanging old symbols for new ones.

Once the rebel envoy entered the imperial palace of the Great Qin, a grand feast was held.

During the feast, they felt it was too quiet and called for musicians to play.

The musicians only knew how to play military music.

What no one expected was that after the music finished, the generals of the Great Qin, who had already surrendered, fell into silence, and countless people burst into tears.

The rebel envoy had no idea that this piece of music had changed the hearts of the army.

That night, all the generals turned against the rebel forces, swearing to fight for the Great Qin. They then killed the rebel envoy and defeated the rebel army.

The garrisons on the walls trembled and responded, restoring the banners of the Great Qin.

The rebels reached their peak and then declined, ultimately leading to their extinction.

The music played that night was "Qin Wang Breaks through the Enemy's Formation," which was Li Shimin's favorite military music when he led his troops to victory.

Even five hundred years after Li Shimin's death, his influence continued to be felt by future generations.
