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

On the road from Chang'an to Xianyang, the autumn wind was blowing and the fallen leaves were drifting.

Li Zhi, carrying Li Chengqian's oral instructions, rode alone on horseback in front, and his guards followed slowly behind him.

The reins hung loose in his hands.

His eyes were confused, and Mei Niang's departing figure kept appearing in his mind, piercing his heart.

Mei Niang, now that you are gone, the world has lost its color. You have taken my heart far away, leaving only my body wandering here.

My heart and eyes are filled with endless longing, and I don't even have the heart to appreciate the scenery along the way.

Li Chengqian lived in the palace, and every time he saw Li Zhi so absent-minded, he felt irritated. What he hated most was being in love.

Zhinu is so depressed that it will be difficult for him to get over it if this continues.

So Li Chengqian thought hard and finally decided to arrange some things for her so that he could temporarily release his love-minded mind.

At this time, Li Tai's true value has not been fully discovered.

Although Li Tai seems a bit stupid and reckless on weekdays, he actually has talents and accomplishments in editing and writing books that are difficult for others to match.

After careful consideration, Li Chengqian decided to let Li Tai work together with Xianyang International College to compile a series of books that would be of great benefit to the people of the world.

For example, the barefoot doctor's manual can popularize basic medical knowledge so that ordinary people can also learn some medical skills and save lives.

It covers all kinds of wisdom in the farming season and many tips in daily life, which is enough to guide the people in their daily life of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

There are also professional books that provide detailed introductions to various tips and methods of livestock breeding, which can help people develop animal husbandry and improve their lives.

Li Chengqian thought that once these books were compiled, the illiteracy among the people could be effectively curbed.

These books can take care of all aspects of people's lives and play an immeasurable role among the people.

Once all these matters are handled properly, Li Tai can devote himself to the compilation of the Zhenguan Ceremony. After the Zhenguan Ceremony is successfully completed, he can also prepare for the extremely significant Qianwu Ceremony for himself in the future.

After all, being born in this imperial family, one should shoulder heavy responsibilities and undergo hardships at a young age.

How can you eat and drink for free?

Now that we are common people, we can give up?

Li Chengqian would never allow his brother to do this!

He must love Qingque well.

This was the first time in Li Zhi's life that he stepped out of the city gate of Chang'an. Everything in front of him was full of novelty to him.

He rode slowly, his eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, with an indescribable sense of unreality surging in his heart.

I have heard that in the past, the roads in the Tang Dynasty were rugged and travel was difficult.

Now the road is so flat and wide that it takes only half a day to reach Xianyang. The change is truly amazing.

However, although this change is good, why does my heart still feel empty? Could it be that the changes of all things in this world cannot withstand Mei Niang's departure?

He sighed silently in his heart.

Although he had never been here before, he had heard about the scenery around Chang'an in the past.

In the past, the road from Chang'an to Xianyang was rugged and uneven, making travel extremely inconvenient. Even if one rode a horse at full speed, it would take at least a whole day to go back and forth.

Now the road under my feet has been completely renewed. It is amazingly flat and wide, and has been repaired in an extremely good condition. If I drive at full speed, I can reach Xianyang City in just half a day.

However, Li Zhi had no urgent business on this trip. He just wanted to relieve his boredom and relax.

Therefore, he walked and stopped along the way, until the evening, when Li Zhi's team slowly arrived outside the gate of Xianyang City.

Li Zhi dismounted from his horse, his movements looking slightly tired. He took out the pass given by Li Chengqian from his arms and passed it to the Xianyang city guard standing at the city gate.

The guard took the document and carefully examined it. After a moment, he raised his head slightly and said calmly, "Your Highness, Prince of Jin, you cannot enter Xianyang on horseback without a riding permit from Xianyang City."

After saying this, he paused slightly, then continued in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "If you need it, we can call a carriage for you. Of course, the cost of the carriage will also need to be borne by Your Highness, Prince Jin."

When Li Zhi heard this, he was slightly stunned, then he widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at the guard.

I am the great King of Jin, but when I arrived in Xianyang City, I was harassed by this small guard and had to pay for the carriage out of my own pocket. How can this be justified?

He really had not expected that there would be such strange rules in Xianyang City.

However, this is his royal brother's territory, so he didn't dare show his displeasure.

All the good things in the world come from Xianyang, and Li Zhi also wants to go and see them.

Some weird rules are understandable.

But this is too embarrassing.

The guards behind Li Zhi could no longer contain their rage. They suddenly took a step forward and shouted angrily at the Xianyang City guard, "How dare you! In front of His Highness the Prince of Jin! How dare you say such outrageous words! What is your punishment?"

The guard's eyes were wide open, filled with anger.

The guards of Xianyang City remained calm and composed.

But this shout from Li Zhi's guard caused the surrounding Xianyang city guards to move quickly and in an orderly manner.

They slowly and silently surrounded Li Zhi and his group, instantly forming an invisible force of oppression.

Li Zhi was shocked when he saw this.

The guards of Xianyang City are so well-trained that they should not be underestimated.

If I let the guards run wild here, I'm afraid something might happen.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi's face immediately showed a faint smile. He raised his hand gently and said softly to the guards: "Step back. Follow the rules wherever you are."

After saying this, he turned to look at the guard and asked calmly, "How much is the fare for a carriage?"

The guard raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Zhi calmly, and replied slowly, "Your Highness, the Prince of Jin, the carriages have different decorations, so naturally the prices are also different. The most expensive is 100 strings of cash, and the cheapest is 2 strings of cash."

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "What did you say? A hundred strings of cash? Do you know how many horses you can buy with a hundred strings of cash? Just riding in a carriage costs a hundred strings of cash. Are you guys in Xianyang robbing people?"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and he was puzzled by the high price.

The Xianyang City guard shook his head slightly and patiently explained, "Your Highness, Prince Jin, you may not know that this carriage has always been priced this way."

"The one-time price lasts for three days. If you want to renew, you just need to pay another fee after three days."

"If you want to save money, you can walk into Xianyang City. As for the horse, we will take good care of it and bring it to you when you leave the city."

It would be futile to continue arguing with the guard; it would just be a waste of time.

Moreover, if I persist here, it may damage my reputation as the King of Jin if it gets out.

So, he sighed helplessly and said, "Just give me one at a normal price."

"Someone give me money!"

The guard quickly responded, "Okay, Your Highness, the normal price is twenty strings of cash, which is not expensive. I'll arrange it right away."

When Li Zhi heard the price of twenty strings of cash, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

But it's hard to refute.

All his annual income was only forty strings of cash.

Now this expense is almost going to consume his savings for half a year.

But everything has been arranged. As a prince, how can he go back on his word and make a fool of himself?

He gritted his teeth and stared at the Xianyang guard in front of him, deeply engraving the guard's face in his heart.

"Just wait and see, Sun thief! I'll remember this!"
