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

Li Shimin frowned, immersed in the aftertaste of Wei Zheng's words.

"Science?" he whispered to himself, with a hint of shock in his tone.

He was not completely unfamiliar with this so-called "science". In the city of Xianyang, the sound of children reading aloud could be heard from time to time in the streets and alleys, and what they were learning was this "science" that Li Shimin found somewhat puzzling.

His daughters Li Mingda and Li Jiming, like other children, were immersed in those wonderful things every day and never tired of it. After returning home, they would always excitedly share with him the new experiences in college.

At first, Li Shimin was skeptical when he heard about the popularity of "science" and ordered people to find scientific textbooks. When the bound books appeared before him, he opened them and took a look, but the contents of the books disappointed him greatly.

In the traditional concepts he had long upheld, this knowledge was nothing more than some unorthodox tricks and was of no use in governing the vast Tang Empire. It could not be compared with the orthodox Four Books and Five Classics at all.

But as the days passed, the two daughters would eagerly pull him along when they returned from college, and enthusiastically do all sorts of extremely interesting little experiments.

At the beginning, Li Shimin only participated in it with a perfunctory attitude, but gradually, he found that he was attracted by these small experiments that seemed simple but contained infinite mysteries.

Once, his daughters used some exquisite instruments and materials to demonstrate the wonderful tension phenomenon of water. The crystal clear water droplets rolled and gathered on the instruments, forming all kinds of wonderful shapes, which opened his eyes.

Through the reflection and combination of mirrors, colorful light and shadow can be projected on the walls of the house, condensing the entire world into that small area of ​​light and shadow.

These novel experiences gradually changed Li Shimin's deep-seated views on science.

He began to realize that this thing his son called science seemed to have an indescribable unique charm and practical value that could not be underestimated.

Compared with the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, it is indeed more useful in certain specific aspects, and perhaps it can provide greater help to the prosperity and long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, under Li Shimin's firm suggestion, Li Zhi had to pack his bags and embark on the journey to study at the academy.

But Li Shimin still greatly underestimated the true power of science.

When the loud noise that could tear the sky and the earth apart was heard, and when the huge and eye-catching hole on the Great Wall appeared in front of everyone, Li Shimin was so shocked that he stood there in shock.

He stared at the gaping hole in the Great Wall, and saw a whole new world slowly unfolding before his eyes, and his heart was unable to calm down for a long time.

He had anticipated that science would have a great impact, but he never imagined it would be so frightening!

The Great Wall, a solid line of defense against foreign enemies built over countless years and consuming countless manpower and material resources, was now easily destroyed by the power of science. This shocked him and made him inexplicably excited.

"This...how on earth was this done?" Li Shimin's voice trembled slightly, filled with surprise, confusion and deep awe of the unknown power.

There was a complex and inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, including the shock of first seeing the power, the ecstasy about the possibilities of the future, and more importantly, the infinite imagination of the Tang Dynasty using this power to move towards glory.

Since the power of science can bring down the Great Wall, then those cities that seem indestructible on a normal day will become helpless decorations in the face of such a powerful and mysterious force, right?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes became brighter and brighter, which showed his deep desire for the future territorial expansion of the Tang Dynasty.

With such a magical object, how can we be dissatisfied?

The old ministers standing by witnessed this unbelievable scene, their mouths wide open in shock, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Their mouths were slightly open, but no sound came out.

Only the lingering smell of gunpowder filled the air, telling us that what had just happened was not an illusion.

The eyes of the generals were instantly lit up, bursting with a fiery and excited light.

"A divine weapon! This is the real divine weapon!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened, his face flushed red, and he shouted excitedly, his loud voice filled with uncontrollable surprise.

Li Jing couldn't contain the excitement deep in his heart. His body trembled slightly and he couldn't wait to see what this thing was.

He suddenly turned around and walked down to the position below with big strides. His feet were like the wind, and every step was filled with strong curiosity. He just wanted to see what kind of magical thing this Qianwu cannon that could blow down the Great Wall was!

Li Jing's sudden move caused everyone to follow suit.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji and other generals who were usually known for their bravery and fearlessness could no longer sit still.

Their eyes flashed with the same curiosity as Li Jing's, and they couldn't help but follow Li Jing's footsteps and ran down quickly.

Everyone couldn't wait to go and see the world and see why the Qianwu cannon could create such a shocking miracle.

At this time, Li Shimin suppressed his inner excitement and his eyes fell on Li Chengqian.

At this moment, his heart is full of longing for the future.

He saw Li Chengqian leading the Tang Dynasty towards a more glorious and brilliant tomorrow.

He lifted his clothes slightly with some excitement, ran to Li Chengqian with brisk steps, and a warm smile on his face.

"Gao Ming, come, follow Aye!"

As Li Shimin spoke, he extended his hand enthusiastically and held Li Chengqian's sleeve tightly. The action was very intimate, without any of his usual airs, as if he was just an ordinary father who loved his son.

Li Chengqian was confused by Li Shimin's sudden and unusually intimate behavior, and his face was full of bewilderment.

He subconsciously took a step back, his eyes wide open, and asked in confusion: "Father, what are you doing..."

Before Li Chengqian could finish his words, Li Shimin interrupted him hastily. "Great! Why call him father? Call him Aye! Calling him father seems too formal!"

Li Shimin's eyes were full of love and tolerance for everything.

His voice was also exceptionally gentle, and he whispered softly, "Aye, your blood is thicker than water!"

Li Chengqian still looked confused and stood there at a loss.

Before he could react, Li Shimin gently pulled him to sit on the exquisitely carved armchair beside him.

Afterwards, Li Shimin personally picked up the elegant teapot and carefully brewed a cup of fragrant tea for Li Chengqian. His movements were focused and he paid serious attention to every step.

Li Shimin's move really made Li Chengqian feel flattered.

He knew very well that this was Li Shimin, who usually valued face more than anything else. But now he was doing something that was completely different from his usual style, which made Li Chengqian feel uneasy.

His eyes inadvertently swept to the side, and he saw the historians standing not far away, writing furiously with their pens, recording everything that happened on the battlefield.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he secretly groaned. If the historians saw him like this, who knows what they would record!

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he could bear the notoriety of being a tyrant. After all, which emperor in history could be perfect and flawless?

In order to maintain national stability, sometimes we have to take tough or even cruel measures.

But if he was recorded as bullying his old father, he would never be able to accept it.

People need face and trees need bark. He also has his own imperial burden, but the focus of this burden is different from that of other emperors.

If a country is destroyed or exterminated due to his cruelty, people in later generations will not blame him. Instead, they will say that he did not kill enough people or was not cruel enough.

But if it was recorded that he bullied his old father Li Shimin, he would probably be criticized behind his back by people all over the world.

At this time, the historian's gaze had already been cast over, and Li Chengqian became more and more flustered.

Looking at Li Shimin's almost abnormal appearance, he thought that he had really done something inadvertently that caused Li Shimin to misunderstand him, so that Li Shimin was so flattering to him.

But he was really wronged! Heaven and earth are my conscience! He never bullied Li Shimin!

He took the tea handed to him by Li Shimin in a somewhat collapsed manner, stood up from his seat, and then hurriedly pushed Li Shimin to sit on the armchair, and handed the tea in his hand back to him.

"Aye, you have to observe etiquette in public!"

"You are my Aye, please don't be like this, filial piety is the most important virtue!"

As Li Chengqian spoke, he anxiously signaled to Li Shimin with his eyes to see what the historian was doing.

Li Shimin understood on the spot. Looking at Li Chengqian's uneasy look, he suddenly seemed to understand something.

His eyes became brighter, and then as they brightened, his eyes suddenly turned red and tears welled up in them.

When Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin like this, he felt numb all of a sudden!

What is he doing? What on earth is he doing? Is Li Shimin planning a rebellion? Why is he acting so strangely today? Is he trying to get himself infamously accused?

Li Chengqian stood there, looking at Li Shimin with red eyes, at a loss.
