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

The streets of Xianyang City were crowded with people and noisy.

"Hello, Commander Zhang!"

A clear and loud greeting broke the surrounding noise, and the voice was full of respect.

"Hello, Commander Zhang!"

Immediately afterwards, more enthusiastic greetings rang out.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted and focused on Zhang Xianhuai, who was wearing the flying fish uniform of the Jinyiwei commander.

"Look at how pregnant she is, she's really young and promising, and she's got extraordinary abilities!"

A white-haired old man was leaning on a cane, sighing with admiration on his face, his cloudy eyes full of praise.

"That's right. At such a young age, you've already earned His Majesty's appreciation and respect. How many people in the world can have such an honor?"

A young man in a green shirt echoed the voice, his words filled with envy and deep admiration.

"Of course! Don't you see where Xianhuai comes from? Only a place like Xianyang, blessed with abundant talents, can produce such an outstanding talent!"

A burly man shouted at the top of his voice.

Zhang Xianhuai walked with steady steps through the streets that were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar. Every bit of the past emerged in his mind one by one.

He recalled running and playing in these narrow but bustling alleys.

At that time, he was young and immature, and perhaps he never dared to hope that one day he would return in such a majestic manner and receive the admiration and praise of the crowd.

At this moment, he deeply understood the true meaning of the saying "If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night."

The endless praises all around him made him feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pride well up in his heart, and every pore in his body relaxed in the face of these praises.

As I stepped into the house, it was already filled with laughter.

All the family members gathered together, all of them smiling with their eyes and eyebrows curved, and their mouths almost reaching their ears.

Originally, Zhang Xianhuai was thinking about leaving his salary to his family so that they could live a more affluent and comfortable life.

After all, life at home was difficult, especially for his father Zhang Dashan, who worked from dawn to dusk every day to make a living selling fish in Xianyang City.

Even in the most prosperous place of Xianyang, after working hard all year round, the maximum income one could earn was fifteen strings of cash.

But compared to outside Xianyang City, the income is already three times.

What he never expected was that when he mentioned this matter, his family rejected his kindness without hesitation.

Everyone in the family has learned the good news that he is about to marry Princess Wencheng, and the whole family is immersed in ecstasy. They all say that smoke is coming out of their ancestors' graves, and such a great blessing has befallen their family.

Looking back to when he was promoted to the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, although his family was proud of him, their reaction was far less intense than this time.

In the hearts of these simple and honest people, the princess is an unattainable existence, extremely noble, sacred and inviolable.

In their opinion, the fact that a child from an ordinary family that makes a living by selling fish could marry a princess was simply the mercy of God and a blessing from God. It was a blessing earned through several lifetimes!

Life at home was slowly getting better. Zhang Dashan took his hand and asked with concern, "Son, do you have enough money to marry a wife?"

"If it's not enough, even if we have to sell everything we have, we will definitely make up for it for you. We will never let Her Highness suffer any injustice."

That sincere and simple look brought a warm feeling to Zhang Xianhuai's heart, mixed with a bit of guilt and helplessness.

After all, he is now the commander of the Imperial Guard under His Majesty, and his salary is quite generous. It is okay if he does not provide any subsidies to his family, but how can he ask for money from his family again?

What's more, even if I encounter difficulties in the future and am short of money, I still have that famous and wealthy teacher to rely on, so why should I worry about having no way out?

After this satisfying experience, Zhang Xianhuai began to feel uneasy.

What His Majesty said to him and Qin Ruzhao last night made him feel a little difficult and troubled.

Jiang Lai, of course he knew this name.

He was not even impressed by Jiang Laixue. After all, they had studied together in the academy, and Jiang Laixue was one of the first students in the academy.

During their time in college, they spent every day together, seeing each other every day. Although their friendship could not be described as a life-and-death friendship, they were quite familiar with each other.

At that time, Qin Ruzhao, who was regarded as a "giant monster" by everyone, had special feelings for Jiang Lai. Although he did not publicize them, they could not be hidden from everyone's eyes.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Lai was always filled with passionate love.

And whenever Jiang Lai's eyes met Qin Ruzhao's, the faint blush on her cheeks and the shyness that inadvertently flashed in her eyes clearly showed her love for Qin Ruzhao.

Originally, the two of them might have just taken one more small step forward, gently breaking through the thin layer of window paper, and they would have been able to create a beautiful marriage story.

But in that year, His Majesty promulgated the Xianyang Decree.

The law clearly stipulates that in Xianyang City, only those who are over 18 years old can get married.

At that time, they were all underage and still in their youth and ignorance.

For those who got married under the age of 18, although they will not be forcibly separated, there are strict restrictions.

They can live together, but are strictly prohibited from having children. If they violate the rules, they will be fined a huge amount, which is undoubtedly an unbearable burden for ordinary families.

There were no prostitutes allowed in Xianyang City, and only vegetarian food was allowed.

Strictly implement the system of monogamy and no concubines.

It was precisely because of the promulgation of this decree that the two of them could only helplessly bury their emotions deep in their hearts, and the window paper that was so close to them could only be ruthlessly pressed down.

Even so, how could the expressiveness between their eyebrows and their gentle interactions when they were together on a daily basis escape the eyes of a discerning person?

Everyone could clearly feel the subtle and sweet atmosphere between them.

Speaking of Jiang Lai's brother, Zhang Xianhuai also knew some related information, but he never expected that Jiang Lai's brother was actually Jiang Tong who was willing to die.

This time he was suddenly in an awkward situation.

He knew very well that apart from being concerned about Qin Ruzhao, Jiang Lai's thoughts were all on her brother.

Everyone knew how much she cared about her brother when she was in school.

Now, His Majesty has given him such a difficult task, asking him to tell Jiang Lai about that embarrassing thing, which really makes him feel torn.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianhuai couldn't help but sigh heavily, and shook his head slowly with helplessness on his face.

"Forget it, forget it. A short pain is worse than a long one. I can't hide this from her forever, can I?"

Zhang Xianhuai muttered to himself.
