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

In Loach Alley, the old lady's loud "Mr. Qi" instantly penetrated the walls of every household.

The people nearby, who were originally immersed in their own trivial matters, all looked up.

Then they put down the work in their hands, moved quickly, stood up and rushed towards the source of the sound. Soon, they all gathered in front of Mr. Qi.

This Loach Alley used to be just an inconspicuous little place in Xianyang City, with dilapidated houses and muddy roads.

It was naturally difficult for Li Chengqian to come here often.

His face was hazy and blurry to the people here.

Mr. Qi is completely different.

In this era when reading and writing are more valuable than money, Mr. Qi, as a scholar, could have sought better development in a prosperous place, but he chose to step into their poor Loach Alley.

And he stayed in this poor and dilapidated place for five whole years, working silently and teaching the children around him to read and write.

Which child in Loach Lane had not learned to read and write under his instruction?

Is there any child who has not had the opportunity to change his destiny because of his patience and care?

If it weren’t for the fact that most of the children in Loach Lane back then learned some knowledge from Mr. Qi’s teaching.

How can I have the opportunity to go to the academy founded by His Majesty?

How could Qin Ruzhao bring their children into the army and make achievements?

Because of this, Mr. Qi's image is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people.

Mr. Qi's return dispelled the long-standing dullness and silence in the alley.

Enthusiasm instantly bloomed on the faces of the people.

A kind-looking middle-aged man spoke first, his eyes full of concern: "Mr. Qi, have you had your meal yet? If you're still hungry, you must come to my house for a meal."

"Although these are just some common dishes, please don't be disgusted by them, sir!"

A gray-haired old woman beside him also said tremblingly: "Mr. Qi, you haven't been home for a long time, why did you suddenly come back today?"

"Did you come back here because you were wronged outside? Sir, you are always welcome in Loach Lane."

A little old man, with curiosity glittering in his eyes, asked eagerly, "Mr. Qi, we've all heard you've made a name for yourself out there. Have you become the Grand Tutor of our Tang Dynasty? That would truly bring honor to our family!"

There was even an old man, his voice trembling with excitement, who shouted, "Hello, Mr. Qi, hello, Your Majesty! With a virtuous man like you educating the people, and Your Majesty leading us wisely, our Tang Dynasty will surely prosper and be feared by all!"

Everyone was talking at once, expressing their deep longing for Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi was surrounded by the enthusiasm of the people, and his face always had a smile as warm as the sun.

He nodded slightly and responded to all kinds of questions raised by the people one by one. No matter whether they were trivial family greetings or curious inquiries about his personal achievements, he never showed a trace of boredom or impatience.

At this lively moment, a few eyes in the crowd slowly shifted to the tall young man next to Mr. Qi.

Since Li Chengqian had only been to Loach Lane a few times before, for most people, he only left a faint trace in their memory.

Everyone just felt that the face of the young man in front of them seemed familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen him.

Then, a light discussion began to be heard from the back of the crowd. Everyone was trying hard to search for fragments of memory about this young man in their minds, with frowns and eyes full of confusion.

An old man suddenly raised his hand, slapped his weather-beaten head hard, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

This cry instantly caused a huge uproar.

"Your Highness, it turns out to be Your Highness!"

"Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the current Emperor?"

"Your Majesty is coming, Your Majesty is coming!"

Everyone was stunned at first, then woke up as if from a dream, and shouted one after another.

Hearing the words "Your Majesty has arrived", the people standing in the front row subconsciously shook their bodies, bent their legs instinctively, and were about to perform the ceremony of kowtow.

Li Chengqian was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly stepped forward and gently raised his hands to stop everyone's actions.

His eyes showed deep concern for the people, and he said in a powerful voice, "Fellow villagers, please don't bow."

"Have you forgotten what I said? If the people don't kneel before their officials, I want you to stand up!"

"I came here not for these red tapes, but for another important matter."

"Since everyone is here, I'll take the opportunity to learn about everyone's daily life."

"Has the pension distributed by the court been delivered to you in full and smoothly?"

"Does the government send people to deliver the monthly subsidies on time?"

“Is this money enough to support the family’s expenses?”

"You all don't have to worry about anything, just tell me the truth."

You must know that you are all meritorious families of the Tang Dynasty. Your children, filled with passion, rushed to the battlefield. Their bravery and heroic sacrifice have become one with the Tang Dynasty."

"From now on, their names will be forever engraved on the Tang Dynasty Heroes Monument, and their achievements will forever be etched in the history of our Tang Dynasty, as one with the nation!"

"Therefore, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can raise them to the court without fear. I will do my best to resolve your problems."

Li Chengqian's heartfelt words slowly flowed into the hearts of every citizen.

Let a warm current surge from deep within their hearts.

"Your Majesty! Everything is fine!"

"Your Majesty, we are all fine!"

"Your Majesty, please don't bother yourself with us country bumpkins. We really don't deserve it!"

The people responded excitedly, and every voice was filled with gratitude.

That simple and sincere emotion seems to be able to be touched through the sound.

Li Chengqian's gaze slowly moved through the crowd and finally stopped on the lady closest to him.

At the door of the old lady's house, a piece of white cloth swayed gently in the breeze, silently telling of sorrow and grief.

Li Chengqian asked softly, "Auntie, how many people are left in your family?"

The old lady raised her head slightly, with an open-minded look after having experienced many vicissitudes of life on her face. She waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Your Majesty, I am the only lonely old woman left in my family now."

"My old man was seriously ill in his early years, but we were a poor family and had no money to hire a doctor or prescribe medicine. We could only watch him die of illness. He passed away at an early age."

"My boy died in the battle last year."

"They're quite promising! I heard from Xiaotian that that's His Majesty's most powerful army, a battalion of three thousand men. I'm so proud of it!"

"My daughter got married early, and I haven't heard from her since then."

"But your majesty, my life is much better now than before."

"Before His Majesty came, I had no idea where to get my next meal, and I was always worried about where to get a bite to eat."

"But now, I can eat my fill every day, and I have enough money in my pocket to spend, and even have some left over."

"Sometimes when I feel empty and have nothing to do, I can go out for a stroll. If I see something I like, I can buy it. If I want to eat something delicious, I don't have to hesitate."

"It's a pity that my old man and son didn't get to enjoy all this. I wish they could see it."

"All of this is due to your great kindness and grace, Your Majesty."

Li Chengqian listened quietly to the old lady's story.

The gentleness on his face was gradually replaced by a deep look, and he fell into silence.

He took a slow, deep breath.

But his eyes still turned slightly red involuntarily, and tears appeared in his eyes.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice choked with sobs: "Auntie, it's not my credit, it's your son's credit, it's all the credit of you, the people!"
