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

The sky of Chang'an was just beginning to turn pale, and the quiet streets had not yet fully awakened from their slumber when a burst of hurried horse hooves broke the tranquility of the early morning.

The Jinyiwei rode at full speed, shuttling through the streets and alleys, quickly delivering the news to the residences of every official.

Tomorrow, His Majesty will hold a court meeting in Taiji Hall. This court meeting will not only deal with routine government affairs, but will also focus on sorting out a series of major events that have occurred recently.

When the news spread, all the officials sighed.

His Majesty finally appeared.

Especially after mentioning the concept of "the world belongs to the public", officials became caught up in heated discussions.

This concept is really hard to explain.

"The world belongs to the public", these four seemingly simple words made all the officials uneasy.

They were eager to find out whether His Majesty's proposal of this idea was a more sophisticated ruling strategy, just a different rhetoric to consolidate imperial power.

Or is Your Majesty truly determined to change the ruling pattern that has lasted for thousands of years, to put the interests of the world first, and to truly practice "the world for all."

If it is the former, the officials will feel helpless but can still accept it reluctantly.

After all, in their view, the nature of officialdom may not change much, and they can still maintain their status and interests under the established rules.

But if Your Majesty really wants to implement the latter, it will undoubtedly be a huge storm for those officials who are accustomed to the traditional official ecology.

Once the concept of "the world belongs to the public" is truly implemented, the power, wealth and various privileges in one's hands will face unprecedented challenges.

The young officials in Xianyang were also disturbed by the news.

They have only been in official career for a few years, and they have infinite longing for the future, eager to make a name for themselves in officialdom and realize their ambitions.

But it’s okay to say “the world belongs to the public”, but when it really comes out, they are full of worries about their career prospects.

They gathered privately and discussed with concern the impact of this idea on them.

Some people worry that with the implementation of the "world for all" policy, the rules for official promotion will change, and the connections and resources they have accumulated over the years may become worthless.

Some people are afraid that the new policy will significantly cut officials' welfare benefits, causing their living standards to plummet.

On the second day, while it was still early, many figures in official uniforms appeared on the streets of Chang'an.

They walked towards the palace with different expressions, some with frowns and faces full of worry.

Some of them had flickering eyes, as if they were thinking about something.

Chen Fusheng and Zhao Fusheng walked side by side. Their steps were steady, completely different from the anxious officials around them.

Chen Fusheng put his hands behind his back and observed everything around him with sharp eyes.

When he saw the worried expressions on the officials' faces, he couldn't help but chuckle and said to Zhao Fusheng beside him, "Brother Tian, ​​look at our classmates. What are they afraid of?"

"It's just an official position, and now they're already scared out of their wits before the reform plan is even released."

"If a policy that is disadvantageous to them is really introduced, it will be as painful as being cut into flesh!"

Zhao Fusheng is an honest man. He is usually obsessed with the research of crops and has no interest in the intrigues and power struggles in the officialdom.

Even though he has now entered the cabinet and holds an important position, he still maintains his simplicity and innocence, and is slow to realize many things in officialdom.

After hearing what Chen Fusheng said, he frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Brother Zui, forget it, it's better not to talk nonsense. If they hear you and gossip about you behind your back, that won't be good."

Chen Fusheng's nickname is "Brother Mouth", which comes from the fact that he was born with an eloquent tongue.

In the eyes of everyone, he is a master of debate. No matter how complex the topic is, he can quickly sort out his thoughts and refute or argue with sharp and clever words.

He firmly believed that as long as he continued to learn and accumulated sufficient knowledge, he would be able to travel around the world with the word "reason".

Hearing Zhao Fusheng's advice, Chen Fusheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "There's nothing to be afraid of. We are all classmates."

"If they really gossip about me, then let them be. It's just that our friendship as classmates ends here."

"And Lao Tian, ​​do you think that no one is jealous of the two of us?"

"We are all junior ministers after all. We have made some achievements, so it is inevitable that people will envy us."

"Don't be too fussy about life. We all die eventually, so it's better to live happily and casually."

Just as the two were talking, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded from afar.

I saw a messenger wearing light armor, carrying a conspicuous letter box on his back, riding a horse and waving a whip, galloping towards the palace.

The messenger had an anxious look on his face.

Chen Fusheng saw this scene from afar and immediately frowned.

"It's been another eventful year. An urgent military report has arrived. It seems things are not peaceful on the front lines."

At this moment, a thought quickly flashed through his mind: the surrounding forces have all been dealt with by the Tang Dynasty, and now the only one that can compete with the Tang Dynasty is the Arab Empire.

However, how could a military report appear before His Majesty had even issued the order to attack the Arab Empire? Could it be that the Arab Empire was so fearless that it dared to take the initiative to invade the Tang Dynasty?

Chen Fusheng thought again that the people guarding Xinjiang now were not those experienced veterans, but the young and energetic Xue Rengui.

Most young people have a common problem, which is a bad temper.

Facing the enemy's provocation, Xue Rengui would certainly not retreat easily and would definitely fight back.

With all this back and forth, the situation will probably become more complicated and difficult.

Chen Fusheng and Zhao Fusheng quickened their pace and entered the Taiji Hall. Many officials had already gathered in the hall, whispering in groups of three or five, their faces increasingly filled with worry.

After a while, Li Chengqian slowly walked into the Taiji Hall. The court suddenly became quiet and everyone saluted respectfully.
