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

"Long live your majesty!"

I don’t know which voice in the crowd shouted first, but the voice was filled with awe and respect, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of "Long live" continued like a torrent, echoing throughout the entire Chang'an Street.

Group after group of people, regardless of gender, age or status, spontaneously knelt down in the same direction, their eyes full of piety, their foreheads touching the ground, and shouts of "Long live the Buddha" one after another.

The usually majestic soldiers of the three camps, as well as the mysterious Jinyiwei, now put away their gleaming weapons.

Without hesitation, they knelt on one knee, then on both knees. Their movements were in perfect unison as if they had been rehearsed countless times. The cheers of "Long live the emperor" were so majestic that they reached the sky.

In this sea of ​​cheers, only Zhang Xianhuai, holding the oral order, stood alone.

His face flushed crimson, as if infected by the fanatical atmosphere around him, and he also shouted: "Long live our emperor!"

Although his voice was a little thin amid the cheers of the crowd, it also had a unique firmness.

……

British government.

This was originally a quiet place, but it became extremely lively due to the arrival of Li Shimin and others.

Li Shimin could no longer stay in Fang Xuanling's residence. Although he was the king of a country and had supreme power, in Fang's residence, facing Fang Xuanling's powerful wife Lu, he had to be cautious, just like a thief.

Lu was born into the famous Fanyang Lu family. She had a hot-tempered personality. When Li Shimin was in the Fang Mansion, he always moved very carefully, for fear of making any noise and being discovered by Lu.

That scene was really quite funny.

After arriving at the Duke of Ying's mansion, Li Shimin was completely different and seemed much more relaxed.

Duke Yingguo Li Ji was hospitable and took Li Shimin to drink and eat meat every day. The wine was the mellowest and the meat was the freshest delicacy.

Cheng Yaojin was also a clever man. He brought his own cow, which had fallen into the water and died for unknown reasons, and shared it with his brothers.

The beef was roasting on the fire, sizzling with oil and smelling delicious. Everyone sat around and feasted on it.

At this time, they were in a side room of the Duke of England's mansion, and the table was filled with wine jars and leftover meat bones.

Several people drank and ate large pieces of meat, and as the wine entered their hearts, they became more and more excited and began to talk about the thrilling achievements of the past. Sometimes they laughed heartily, sometimes their expressions were excited, as if they were back on the battlefield with golden swords and iron horses.

Just as they were talking emotionally, suddenly, bursts of noisy shouting were heard outside the mansion.

The sound was faint at first, but as time went on, it became clearer and louder, as if thousands of troops were galloping.

"What's going on outside? It's so noisy? Is there some trouble going on?"

Li Shimin frowned and shook his dizzy head vigorously, trying to force himself to wake up.

He looked at Li Ji and said loudly, "Li Ji, go out and see what's going on outside that's causing all the noise."

Li Ji put down the wine jar in his hand, and the jar collided with the table with a "bang".

He nodded, his steps already staggering a little: "Your Majesty, I will go and take a look!"

After that, he staggered towards the door.

After a while, Li Ji came back. He first closed the door quickly, then leaned against the door to take a breath.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing serious. The people outside are spontaneously kneeling on the ground and cheering Long live the emperor!"

Li Ji spoke drunkenly, then picked up the wine jar and poured the last bit of the wine into his stomach. The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, but he was completely unaware.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde had already fallen asleep on the wine table, their snoring louder than the other, one after another.

When Li Shimin heard what Li Ji said, his originally tense heartstrings immediately relaxed. He patted his chest, a proud look on his face, and said to Li Ji.

"Did you see that? Isn't today the day I'm buried in Zhaoling Mausoleum? The people are spontaneously bowing to my coffin, right?"

He paused, his eyes twinkling.

"I knew I was a good emperor!"

While he was happy, Li Shimin reached out and opened a jar of unopened new wine.

He lifted the jar of wine, tilted his head back and gulped down two mouthfuls. The wine spilled on his clothes, but he didn't care.

"Li Ji, do you think that Cheng Qian can do better than me?"

Li Shimin burped and asked with a drunken face.

Li Ji shook his head, trying to sober himself up, but the strong sense of drunkenness was still with him.

"Of course, Your Majesty! The Crown Prince can certainly do better than you! Look at the people outside, aren't they all spontaneously shouting, 'Long Live Your Majesty!'"

Because Li Ji was drunk, he didn't hear clearly what Li Shimin said before, and just answered instinctively.

Li Shimin said dazedly: "Can you do better than me? What a joke? Haha, just look outside and you will know the people's feelings about me..."

As he spoke, he seemed to regain some clarity, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Li Ji, you just said that the people outside are shouting 'Long Live the Emperor'. Who is this Emperor?"

Li Shimin opened his eyes hard, his eyes were bloodshot, he hoped to hear an answer that would be favorable to him from Li Ji.

Li Ji's eyes were already closed, and he slurred, "Your Majesty, you're so funny! Of course I'm calling you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

He yawned.

"Aside from the few of us who know that Your Majesty is not dead! Who else outside knows? Hehehe!"

After saying this, Li Ji could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

When Li Shimin heard Li Ji's words, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of displeasure.

He looked at Li Ji falling asleep and angrily pointed at him and laughed: "Li Ji, you are just like them, you can't hold your liquor. You are drunk, drunk!"

There was a hint of helplessness in his laughter.

"They've all started talking nonsense!"

Finally, Li Shimin could no longer resist the overwhelming drunkenness and fell asleep on the wine table...

After a busy day from morning till night, Fang Xuanling felt like a dead tree drained of moisture, exhausted. He dragged his body, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, step by step towards the Duke of Ying's mansion.

He now had only one thought in his mind, which was to go home immediately and have a good sleep.

But there is no other way. I have to find an excuse to tell my family when I come to see His Majesty.

But his recent affairs are indeed as numerous as the stars in the sky, too numerous to count.

He came to the Duke of Ying's mansion just to bring the imperial edict of Li Ji's expedition to His Majesty, and also to find an excuse to go out from Lu. It was really killing two birds with one stone, but only he knew the hardship involved.

As soon as Fang Xuanling arrived at the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, he was taken directly to the side room by the servants of the Mansion.

The servant didn't know who was in the side room, but the Duke had instructed that if the Prime Minister came, he should be brought directly to the side room.

After the servant left, Fang Xuanling carefully pushed open the door.

Looking at this scene, Fang Xuanling, who had worked hard all day, almost felt like the sky was falling.

The four of them were completely drunk, and the whole room was filled with a pungent smell of alcohol that seemed to make people faint.

The four people took turns snoring, and the snoring rose and fell like muffled thunder in summer.

Looking at the leftover wine and meat on the table, he thought about how he, Ma Zhou and Master Qi had worked hard all day to figure out how to deal with the Tubo invasion.

After get off work in the evening, he had to rush to his former boss to report the situation. He felt so miserable!

The noise of Fang Xuanling coming in attracted the attention of the four of them. After all, they had been drinking since morning and slept until this time, and they had almost slept for half a day.

Li Shimin opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the person coming was Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling hurried forward to help Li Shimin up, and asked with a worried look on his face, "Your Majesty, why did you drink so much?"

Li Shimin felt the headache left by the hangover in his head, as if he was being pricked by countless needles. He pointed weakly at the tea.

Seeing this, Fang Xuanling hurriedly poured Li Shimin a cup of cold tea. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Shimin took a sip, his stomach churned and he couldn't help but vomited all over the floor with a "wow". The smell of vomit instantly filled the room, completely waking up the remaining three people.

Fang Xuanling patted Li Shimin's back distressedly and asked with concern, "Is your Majesty okay?"

After Li Shimin finished vomiting, he took a break and said quietly, "Xuanling, I'm fine. I was so happy today that I drank too much!"

He thought thankfully that Fang Xuanling was not Wei Zheng, otherwise he would probably point at his nose and scold him, and he would have to suffer.

Li Shimin felt extremely lucky that he did not drag Wei Zheng into this, otherwise he would have been scolded to death by him today.

Li Ji shook his head, trying to sober himself up, and said, "Your Majesty, let's go to the next room. I'll go out and ask someone to make some hangover soup and some water for you to wash up. We can drink the soup and talk."

Li Shimin nodded.

Soon, the five of them arrived in the next room. Li Ji had someone prepare a bowl of steaming fish soup, and the aroma of the soup filled the room, stimulating everyone's sense of smell.

As the hot fish soup entered their stomachs, the four hangover people suddenly felt much better, as if their dizzy heads had become a little clearer.

"You guys can still sit here and drink today?"

Fang Xuanling glanced at the other three people, his eyes full of blame.

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Fang Xuanling in confusion, scratched his head, and said, "Old Fang, why aren't we drinking? We don't have much to do, unlike you. You're the prime minister, so naturally you're a bit busy!"

"Do you know this? The sky of the Tang Dynasty is about to be pierced today!"

Fang Xuanling raised his voice and looked serious.

Hearing this, the four of them were shocked.

Especially since Li Shimin had already stood up from his chair and asked nervously, "What happened?"
