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

Inside the court of Wu County, the atmosphere was already tense like a bowstring about to break. As soon as Li Chengqian's earth-shattering words came out, everyone gasped, and the sound echoed in the hall.

In this world, Your Majesty has long been revered as a god, like the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, shining brightly and protecting all people. Who dares to say that Your Majesty can make mistakes?

In the minds of the people, such thoughts have always been considered extremely outrageous and something they dare not even think about.

When Tang Wang heard Li Chengqian's words, a hint of ecstasy that was difficult to conceal flashed across his already gloomy face.

He hastily straightened his official uniform, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully to Qian Shuwang. His voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement: "County Magistrate Qian, you heard it all. This man has absolutely no regard for the law. He dared to openly defy Your Majesty in this solemn court."

"According to the laws of the Great Tang Dynasty, everyone present here is a witness. This is irrefutable evidence, sufficient to convict him, Magistrate Qian!"

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile, and his eyes flashed with a determined light.

When Qian Shuwang heard what Tang Wang said, his face froze instantly. He wanted to force a bitter smile, but he couldn't.

He felt as if he was in a raging fire, burning unbearably.

In his official career, he had never felt as deeply as he did today how difficult and thorny this position was.

He slowly raised his head, looking at Tang Wang with a slightly weary gaze, and said helplessly, "This matter is still under discussion. Why are you in such a hurry? This gentleman hasn't finished his speech yet."

"Don't forget, the laws of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulate that if there is a grievance, the person must finish speaking out."

"Regardless of whether this person is guilty or not, we must act according to the rules."

After hearing what Qian Shuwang said, a look of doubt instantly appeared on Tang Wang's face, and his brows were tightly twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He slowly turned around, looked at Li Chengqian again, and asked loudly, "How could your majesty be wrong?"

"Without Your Majesty, would we be able to have the stable and prosperous life we ​​have today?"

"Your Majesty's grace is like a surging river, endless and unending, protecting the common people like us. How can you casually slander such great kindness and virtue?"

Li Chengqian's face was calm, his expression revealing a sense of composure. Hearing Tang Wang's question, he gently shook his head and said in a calm but firm tone, "Your Majesty is also a mortal, not a transcendental god."

"As long as we are human, eating grains and being disturbed by the seven emotions and six desires, how can we achieve perfection?"

"In this world, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a perfect person, and Your Majesty is no exception."

When Tang Wang heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, his eyes full of contempt. He snorted coldly, "Hmph, look at you, you nagging, ignorant, pedantic scholar."

"Just because you've read a few crappy books, you think you're so high up on yourself that you think you can criticize the imperial court at will?"

"How can you, a commoner, arbitrarily interfere with the imperial court's major policies and decisions?"

He took a big step forward, put his hands on his hips, and assumed a condescending and overbearing attitude, continuing, "If you think the Tang Dynasty is not good enough, then take action and build it."

"If you think the court is flawed, then wait for the imperial examinations to begin. Then, with your true talents and knowledge, you can enter the court and serve the court with loyalty and advice."

"The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty depends on the concerted efforts of my subjects, not your endless complaints and abuses."

Tang Wang became more and more excited as he spoke, his emotions becoming more and more excited, and he waved his hands in the air.

"The land you stand on is your Tang Dynasty. What you are like, the Tang Dynasty will be like that!"

"You keep complaining about the Tang Dynasty, which only proves that you are lacking in virtue and ability. You are a useless person who only knows how to complain!"

His voice was high-pitched and passionate, echoing back and forth between the four walls of the courtroom, making people's eardrums hurt.

The people around were stunned at first when they heard Tang Wang's impassioned speech, and then they nodded unconsciously.

Tang Wang's words were like a stimulant, injecting into everyone's hearts, making everyone's blood boil and their spirits lifted.

In their hearts, the Tang Dynasty is the home where they were born and raised. Who wouldn’t hope that it would get better and better?

At this moment, Tang Wang's words seemed to point them in the right direction, making them firmly believe that as long as everyone worked hard, the Tang Dynasty would become more prosperous.

Li Chengqian listened quietly to Tang Wang's long speech. A hint of appreciation crossed his face, and he nodded slightly. "What you said does make some sense. It's quite insightful. I can see that you're not completely ignorant."

When Tang Wang heard Li Chengqian's praise, he became even more proud. He puffed out his chest, raised his chin slightly, and his face was full of confidence.

In his mind, convincing people with reason has always been what he is best at. Now that he has been recognized by the other party, his self-confidence is overflowing.

But Li Chengqian suddenly changed the subject, his expression becoming serious: "That's true, but you overemphasize subjective initiative."

“The less knowledge a person has, the more he tends to possess an inexplicable sense of courage and pride.”

"The root cause is a lack of knowledge, which leads to an overly absolute understanding of things and the inability to hear contradictory views."

Li Chengqian slowly scanned the crowd and continued, "I know everyone thinks what I said makes sense. Now, let me offer you a different perspective."

"Everyone, please think about this: why did our Tang Dynasty's Emperor Gaozu establish the Tang Dynasty in the first place?"

"Why did Emperor Taizong wage wars across the country to conquer this vast territory?"

"They rebelled against the Sui Dynasty in the first place."

"Why didn't they choose to build and change the Sui Dynasty? Why didn't they just stay peacefully as its ministers?"

Li Chengqian's words exploded in the court.

In an instant, the entire court fell into dead silence.

Everyone was stunned by this series of sharp questions, and a thoughtful look appeared on their faces.

Some frowned and fell into deep thought.

Some lowered their heads and remained silent, pondering to themselves.

Everyone was chewing over Li Chengqian's words in their hearts, and a storm was brewing in their hearts.

Qian Shuwang was so shocked by Li Chengqian's words that he was stunned. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and he looked incredulous.

In his inherent understanding, His Majesty, who is in a high position, needs people like Tang Wang the most.

This type of people are good at maintaining Your Majesty's rule, can appease the people, and even when necessary, can use some means to fool the people and consolidate the foundation of the court.

But now, facing Li Chengqian's rebuttal, he was extremely confused and really couldn't understand what His Majesty was trying to do this time?

This completely overturned his understanding of the superiors and plunged him into deep confusion.
