Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!
Chapter 405 Zhang 3 Li 4
As the lights come on, Chang'an City, shrouded in darkness, is like a city that never sleeps, with lights and decorations everywhere, and it is extremely lively.
Zuixianlou is located in this bustling street. The vermilion building has carved beams and painted buildings, and the red lanterns hanging on the flying eaves and brackets sway in the wind, reflecting the diners coming in and out.
The restaurant was bustling with people and the aroma of wine filled the air. The waiters were busy and orderly moving between the tables and chairs carrying dishes.
Zhang San and Li Si, the good brothers, are frequent visitors to Zuixianlou.
Over the years, they have worked together in the complex Chang'an, weathered ups and downs, and their friendship has grown deeper. Regular gatherings here have become an indispensable part of their lives.
Looking back over the past few years, their life trajectories have undergone earth-shaking changes. It can be said that their luck has turned and they have extraordinary prospects.
Back then, they were illiterate and faced with the paper filled with words, they only had confusion in their eyes.
Today, under the wise leadership of the current emperor, the Tang Dynasty vigorously advocates cultural education, literacy activities are becoming more and more intense, and various schools are springing up like mushrooms after rain.
Zhang San and Li Si were also fortunate enough to be swept up by this cultural wave. After experiencing the literacy campaign, they spontaneously stepped into the school gate.
From then on, no matter it was cold winter or hot summer, they listened attentively to the teacher's lectures, recited classics day and night, and studied texts.
Hard work pays off. With what they have learned, they can smoothly interpret and understand those newspapers filled with dense text.
If time could go back to the Zhenguan period, people who could read and understand articles would be considered cultured people in the eyes of their neighbors and would be highly respected.
But unfortunately, we have now entered the prosperous era of Qianwu, and the cultural literacy of the people has generally improved under the strong support of the court, and there are already quite a few people who can read and write.
In this era of cultural prosperity, although their knowledge is not particularly outstanding, we can only say that they still need to practice!
But they are really lucky, and fate is particularly kind to them.
With the continuous development and expansion of Chang'an City, the pace of urban planning has gradually accelerated. Their originally dilapidated and almost collapsed houses happened to be located within the planned area of the new shopping mall.
The house had fallen into disrepair for many years. Whenever it rained and hit the roof, it would leak, water would accumulate everywhere in the house, and the walls would become crumbling.
At first, when they heard the news that their house was going to be demolished, they were still very uneasy and confused about their future life.
As ordinary people, we all know that the words of the government are sometimes really hard to trust.
But who could have expected that this would become a major turning point in their lives.
The government not only gave them an unimaginably generous relocation payment, allowing them to instantly have enough wealth to change their current living conditions, but also thoughtfully allocated them a spacious and comfortable relocation house, allowing them to have a stable home from then on.
This sudden good fortune made them ecstatic.
For them who had once lived in difficult circumstances, all this was like a pie in the sky and was unbelievable.
Today, not only are they lucky enough to marry gentle and virtuous wives, but they also have lovely children in their families, and their lives are warm and sweet.
However, they did not become lazy and sit back to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Instead, they knew that this hard-earned life required their efforts to maintain.
They go out to look for suitable job opportunities, and work hard with their own hands and sweat to make money, making their family life more prosperous and worry-free.
After all, in today's Tang Dynasty, which is full of unlimited opportunities, as long as people are not lazy, no matter where they are or what industry they are in, they can make money and create a bright future through their own unremitting efforts.
At this moment, the two brothers were sitting in a corner of Zuixianlou. On the table were several plates of delicious side dishes and a pot of fragrant, mellow and smooth wine.
They drank wine leisurely, savored delicious food with relish, and talked enthusiastically about family matters and trivial matters in life. Laughter and joy echoed in this small corner, which was very pleasant.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhang San was picking up a piece of fresh vegetables with chopsticks and putting it into his mouth. Suddenly, he seemed to be frozen by something. The movement of his hands stopped instantly, his eyes stared straight in one direction, and then he hurriedly reached out and patted Li Si's shoulder hard.
Li Si was startled by this sudden action. His hand trembled and he almost knocked over his wine glass. He put down the glass and looked in the direction Zhang San was looking with a puzzled look on his face. However, he didn't find anything unusual. He turned around and asked with a frown, "Brother San, what's wrong with you? What did you see?"
Zhang San's face was filled with excitement, his eyes sparkling with a strange light, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement as he said, "Fourth brother, I seem to see His Majesty again!"
When Li Si heard this, he sighed helplessly and shook his head slightly.
Ever since His Majesty's wedding, Zhang San accidentally learned that the person who mercilessly called him "trash" was actually His Majesty. Since then, His Majesty's every move seems to have become the focus of his life, and he can't forget it.
Whenever there was news about His Majesty, whether it was rumors on the streets or notices posted by the government, he would rush to the front to find out the truth and not miss any details.
Every time His Majesty went on a personal expedition, even if he was busy with work, he would always try his best to make time to join the farewell team, just to be able to see His Majesty from afar, to make sure that His Majesty was safe, and then he could return to his own life with peace of mind.
Moreover, every time he saw someone on the street who looked somewhat similar to His Majesty in terms of figure and temperament, he would excitedly shout that he had seen His Majesty.
Li Si was nervous at first, but after doing it many times, he got used to it.
He just hoped that Zhang San would not say anything outrageous in public. As long as he could drink and eat in peace, he would be satisfied.
Li Si had expected Zhang San to come to his senses as usual, laugh and say he had misjudged them, and then continue drinking and chatting. Unexpectedly, Zhang San stared at the man and woman sitting in the corner, motionless and silent, as if under a spell.
Seeing this, Li Si stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zhang San, then raised his voice and said, "Wake up, what are you doing? Don't you want to drink anymore? Finish your drink and go back to rest! You still have a busy day tomorrow!"
But Zhang San seemed to have heard nothing, still immersed in his own world, and had no reaction to Li Si's words.
In Zhang San's mind, he had seen the emperor's appearance no less than three times. That face and that expression were like a deep imprint, clearly engraved in his mind, and there was no way he could make a mistake.
At this moment, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He felt his calves weaken and his breathing became rapid. But the strong urge drove him to stand up involuntarily and walk step by step towards Li Chengqian.
Zhang San's sudden action instantly aroused the vigilance of the surrounding Jinyiwei.
Their eyes were full of vigilance, and if Zhang San made any improper move, they would immediately stop him.
The Jinyiwei's reaction naturally attracted Li Chengqian's attention.
Li Chengqian frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the Jinyiwei. He saw an ordinary citizen with simple clothes and an honest face walking towards him.
After looking carefully, Li Chengqian felt that this person seemed somewhat familiar, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not remember where he had seen him.
As Zhang San got closer, the tense atmosphere became more and more intense.
Many Jinyiwei have quietly stood up, their bodies tense, ready to deal with emergencies.
But Li Chengqian looked calm. He waved his hand lightly and suppressed the actions of the Jinyiwei with just a glance.
In this capital of the Tang Dynasty, most people live and work in peace and are loyal to the court. The person in front of you may just want to tell you something, so there is no need to be too nervous.
When Zhang San saw His Majesty's gaze on him, the excitement in his heart became increasingly difficult to suppress. His face flushed and his body trembled slightly.
After finally walking in front of Li Chengqian, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but his throat was dry because he was too excited and no sound came out for a while.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian was the first to break the brief silence. With a smile on his face, he said in a gentle tone, "Brother, you look so familiar! Have we met somewhere before?"
Hearing His Majesty's words, Zhang San nodded excitedly, his head nodding like pounding garlic, and said hurriedly: "I have seen you, I have seen you! You even spoke to me!"
Li Chengqian became more and more curious. He usually visited many people and showed great concern for them. It was inevitable that he could not remember some faces.
Hearing the man in front of him say this, he became interested and asked, "What did I say to you then? You chased me, did you have something to say to me?"
Zhang San nodded vigorously again, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his excitement.
Then, he straightened his back, imitating the appearance of His Majesty in his memory, with his hands on his hips and his chin slightly raised. He said to Li Chengqian in a haughty manner, "You are too new. Learn a few more characters when you have time. You dare to come out and compete with me with just these few characters. I think you are really no match for me!"
