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

Zhang San stood quietly aside, looking at His Majesty Li Chengqian cautiously.

Li Chengqian was sitting upright in his seat, his majestic aura making the air around him heavy.

Looking at His Majesty's expression, Zhang San's heart began to beat rapidly involuntarily, as if an invisible hand was randomly beating on his atrium. The ups and downs feeling made him extremely uneasy.

Just as Zhang San was secretly nervous, a magnetic voice exploded in his ears: "You, Zhang San, right? Take your notebook tomorrow and report to the Ministry of Personnel. Just say that it was I who said it."

As Li Chengqian spoke, he calmly handed the notebook back to Zhang San.

Zhang San subconsciously stretched out his hands, but his hands were shaking like sieves, and he finally took the notebook.

At this moment, he was like someone whose acupoints had been pressed. He stood there in a daze, staring blankly ahead with his eyes. He had no idea how to react and had lost the ability to think.

Li Chengqian turned his head slightly and looked at Su Zhi beside him. His eyes instantly became as gentle as water and he asked softly, "Lingxi'er, are you full?"

Su Zhi's face was filled with a happy smile. She nodded gently and said softly, "Brother Qian, I'm full!"

Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Okay! Then let's go back. It's getting late now!"

After saying this, he slowly stood up and straightened the wrinkles of his robe.

When the Jinyiwei who had been hiding nearby saw His Majesty stand up, one of them immediately walked quickly to the shopkeeper and quickly paid the meal bill.

When Li Chengqian was leaving, he deliberately stopped, turned around, stretched out his broad palm, and gently patted Zhang San on the shoulder. That gentle pat injected Zhang San with a powerful strength and a silent expectation.

Zhang San opened his eyes wide, staring at the backs of His Majesty and the Queen as they walked away. His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he still had not recovered from the shock.

After a long while, he finally woke up from his dream. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Did His Majesty just pat my shoulder? This thought instantly lit up his eyes, making them brighter and brighter, and his heart was filled with indescribable excitement.

Then he looked at the coarse linen shirt he was wearing and thought to himself: This shirt must be carefully taken back home and framed by a famous framer in the city. I must never wear it again! After all, this is a shirt that His Majesty has touched, and it is worthy of being passed down to future generations!

Li Si had been watching all this from a distance, his eyes full of envy.

He walked quickly to Zhang San's side, reached out his hand and patted Zhang San's shoulder vigorously, and asked in a tone of disbelief: "Old Third, did you really see His Majesty today?"

Zhang San's face flushed with excitement, the veins on his neck bulging slightly. He nodded vigorously, his voice trembling with excitement, "Old Four! It's truly His Majesty! His Majesty not only spoke to me, but also patted me on the shoulder! He even gave me a word!"

After hearing what Zhang San said, Li Si felt more envious.

He curled his lips.

This kid Zhang San is so lucky today!

I actually met His Majesty!

He remembered that Zhang San had asked him to read the contents of the book before, and his heart shuddered.

To be honest, if those words were seen by others, they would be considered extremely treasonous and should never be said openly.

So when His Majesty was talking to Zhang San just now, Li Si was really worried about Zhang San in his heart.

He glanced at the hidden Jinyiwei around His Majesty.

If there was any mistake, Zhang San’s life would be in danger today.

He had even planned it out in his mind. If Zhang San lost his life today, he would definitely take Zhang San's wife, children and the elderly in his home without hesitation and take good care of them as if they were his family members, thus fulfilling the brotherhood they had developed over the years.

Unexpectedly, Zhang San turned a disaster into a blessing. Li Si was also happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but look forward to it: If his brother becomes successful, he will benefit from it in the future. Will his own good days be far away?

"Third brother, what word did His Majesty give you?"

Li Si couldn't contain his cat-like curiosity and asked again. Zhang San, upon hearing Li Si's words, seemed to suddenly remember something important and hurriedly flipped open the notebook in his hands. His hands trembled with nervousness, his eyes wide open as he stared at the notebook, eager to see what the emperor had just written.

When he tremblingly turned to the last page of the notebook, he saw a word written on it that was lively, elegant and majestic: Good!

On the way back to the palace, Su Zhi intimately held Li Chengqian's arm, raised her head slightly, looked at Li Chengqian's angular profile, and asked softly, "Brother Qian, you seem quite interested in that Zhang San. What's so special about him?"

Li Chengqian tilted his head slightly, stretched out his other hand and gently held Su Zhi's slightly cold little hand. He put it to his lips and blew gently to warm it. He smiled and said, "Lingxi'er, this Zhang San is a rare talent. His ideas will definitely contribute to the development of the Tang Dynasty in the future."

Su Zhi blinked her watery eyes, her curiosity growing even stronger. Like a spoiled kitten, she rubbed her head against Li Chengqian's shoulder and said coquettishly, "I don't know what's written in that book. Brother Qian, why don't you tell me about it?"

Li Chengqian smiled meaningfully and said, "What this kid wrote in his notebook is enough to make someone lose their head."

"He bluntly stated that there were many loopholes in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and claimed that if he violated these laws, he would be able to find opportunities and cleverly exploit them."

"Even if he committed a serious crime like murder, he could still escape from prison and be acquitted by exploiting those loopholes."

Su Zhi covered her small mouth in surprise after hearing this, her eyes wide open, full of disbelief: "Brother Qian, if that's the case, why did you let him report to the Ministry of Personnel? Can you really keep someone like him?"

Li Chengqian shook his head firmly, his eyes revealing responsibility: "Lingxi'er, you don't know, this person must be retained."

"Although I am the Son of Heaven, I also understand that I am not perfect. To govern such a vast country like the Tang Dynasty, I naturally need someone who can point out problems and offer suggestions."

"The realization of the Qianwu era of prosperity cannot be achieved by a few empty words."

If there are loopholes in the law, the impact on ordinary people may be limited, but those powerful officials, gentry and wealthy businessmen will certainly take advantage of them. If this continues, great chaos will inevitably occur."

"If there are problems, we must face them squarely. Covering them up will only make them worse, which runs counter to the prosperity we seek."

"I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I should put the people first. What does my personal reputation mean to me?"
