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

The night gently spread out, enveloping the whole world.

At this time of year every year, brilliant fireworks will bloom brilliantly in the night sky, and the colorful lights will streak across the sky like shooting stars, instantly lighting up the darkness.

The gorgeous colors are intertwined, but disappear in an instant, leaving only that moment of surprise. Such gorgeous and short-lived beauty fascinates people deeply. Even if they can see it every year, people still have the original enthusiasm and expectation, and their eyes closely follow the fleeting light and shadow, and they never get tired of watching it.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning gently sprinkled on the earth, dispelling the last bit of coolness of the night, Li Chengqian got up early and began to arrange a special trip.

He organized all the heroes of the sanatorium and their children to gather on the outskirts of Xianyang.

Now they are all gathered here full of curiosity, about to witness a historic moment - riding on the first train of the Tang Dynasty.

The train lay quietly on the track, and its huge and unique shape instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The car body is slender and sturdy, the wheels are huge and thick, and the exquisite chimney on the front of the car spews out thick smoke.

Since the train was built in an extremely secretive environment, the forging of every part and the assembly of every structure have never been leaked to the outside world.

Previous trial runs were also kept strictly confidential.

Even Li Shimin had only heard of the existence of such a magical object. But today, when this real train stood before him, a childlike curiosity could not help but appear in his eyes.

When they heard that this seemingly lifeless behemoth could run on its own simply by adding coal into its furnace, expressions of disbelief instantly appeared on the faces of most of the people present.

In their perception, this train is nothing more than a dead object made up of a pile of cold steel. It has neither the vitality of cattle and horses nor the propulsion of human power. How can it move on its own?

This was simply like a fairy tale, beyond their imagination.

Compared with the older adults with more traditional and conservative ideas, Li Mingda, Li Jiming and the children showed a higher degree of acceptance.

In their daily studies at the academy, they had already been exposed to the magical principles of steam engines. To them, the operating principle of this train was not a difficult mystery. They only needed to cleverly apply the abstract steam engine knowledge in their minds to the huge train in front of them, and they would be able to roughly understand the mystery of its operation.

They moved back and forth among the crowd, patiently explaining the principles behind this to their elders in their childish but confident voices, trying to resolve the doubts in their loved ones' hearts. Their serious look was no different from that of the teachers in the college.

Li Jingyou stared with his big eyes, his face full of curiosity as he tightly grabbed the corner of Li Chengqian's clothes, shook it vigorously, and asked in a baby voice: "Father, father, will this train really move like they said?"

Li Chengqian looked at his son's adorable appearance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He did not directly answer his question, but just gently touched his head.

"This is a secret you need to discover for yourself."

Seeing that he couldn't get an answer from his father, Li Jingyou ran to Su Zhi's side, hugged her arms tightly with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Mother, mother, father didn't tell me, please tell me now!"

Su Zhi looked at her son's anxious expression, smiled gently, gently touched his head, and said, "Empress Mother doesn't quite know, this is probably only known by your father."

After hearing this, Li Jingyou's face instantly fell. He walked silently to Li Shimin and said aggrievedly: "Aunt, they all bullied me and didn't tell me!"

Li Shimin looked at his lovely grandson and laughed out loud.

He hugged Li Jingyou in his arms and said lovingly, "Auntie, you know. Auntie is here to tell you that this is based on the principle of a steam engine."

When Li Chengqian heard what Li Shimin said, he couldn't help but look back in surprise, with some surprise in his eyes.

He didn't expect that his father actually understood the principles of this new thing.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but give Li Shimin a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Not bad, Old Li, I didn't expect you to be so talented!"

When Li Shimin heard his son's praise, his chin slightly raised, his face filled with pride, and he said, "Of course, your father, I know everything."

Back then, Li Mingda and Li Jiming needed Li Shimin's signature to confirm their scores after every exam.

Li Shimin, who originally did not care much about these achievements, later became particularly concerned about them for the sake of his daughters.

It’s because other people’s children have better grades.

He studied the knowledge taught in the academy more seriously and carefully than his two daughters. He pondered every formula and every theorem over and over again until he knew them by heart.

He could only shoulder the responsibility of tutoring his daughter by himself. In his heart, his daughter must not lag behind in the class. If she was outdone by the children and grandchildren of those old friends, where would he put his old face?

Because of this, he also had a certain understanding of the steam engine principles that the train relied on to operate.

When the train really started slowly from Xianyang to Chang'an with a deafening roar, everyone truly felt its magic.

The long and loud whistle sounded through the sky, echoing between heaven and earth for a long time.

White smoke billowed out from the front of the car, rushing towards the sky with great momentum, making the surrounding air a little hazy.

Everyone sat in spacious and comfortable seats, looking at each other, with shock and excitement in their eyes, and they saw the same excitement in each other's eyes.

Through the polished glass windows, the scenery outside is like a flowing scroll, extending backwards. The green crops in the fields are like a green ocean, swaying gently in the breeze.

All these beautiful views made everyone dazzled and immersed in this unprecedented novel experience.

Fang Xuanling did not sit next to his wife, but instead found Li Chengqian and expressed his desire to ride with him in a firm manner.

Li Chengqian originally took into consideration Fang Xuanling's advanced age and worried that the bumpy ride on the train would be detrimental to his health, so he initially did not plan to take him along.

But Fang Xuanling was firm in his attitude and spoke sincerely, with a glint of desire for this new thing in his eyes. Seeing this, Li Chengqian could not continue to refuse.

So, the two of them sat in the driver's seat together, which made the young man who was driving suddenly nervous.

His hands were tightly gripping the joystick, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, and his body was shaking slightly involuntarily.

Li Chengqian noticed the young man's nervousness and said softly, "Don't be nervous. Just proceed as usual."

The young man quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

His voice still trembled uncontrollably. Li Chengqian looked at his nervous expression and shook his head helplessly.

It’s human nature!
