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

After the repeatedly discussed Mandarin reform project was successfully completed, Li Chengqian stood in the Xuanzheng Hall.

This new official language system is the key link in promoting cultural integration and promoting national prosperity, and must be implemented without omission to every corner of the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty.

He announced to the world: Local dialects, as the shining pearls of regional culture, carry the unique customs, historical memories and folk traditions of each place. They are a vivid embodiment of the diversity of Tang Dynasty culture and are allowed to continue to be inherited and used within their respective specific regions.

In daily social situations, especially when Tang officials were out performing their duties or conveying court decrees, they had to use the unified and standardized Tang official language.

He would never allow the differences in dialects to lead to deviations in the communication of government orders, causing the people to be confused about the court's policies and thus affecting the foundation of national governance.

In order to ensure the smooth promotion of Mandarin, he quickly issued an imperial decree to the whole country, requiring carefully selected sites to be set up in every prefecture and county in the Tang Dynasty to establish a special language training institution.

When choosing their locations, these institutions took full consideration of transportation convenience and population density. Most of them are located in the central areas of towns, making it convenient for people from all over to come and study.

The selection of teachers is extremely strict. Only those who are proficient in Mandarin and patient and well-educated are qualified.

Needless to say, the remuneration is great.

More importantly, all training is free and open to officials and ordinary people, regardless of their wealth or status.

The popularization of a new language cannot be easily achieved by a single decree; it requires persistent guidance.

In these training institutions, teachers demonstrate and patiently correct everything from the accurate pronunciation of initials and finals to the intonation of tones, analyze sentence structure and word categories, and explain obscure classical Chinese texts in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

From daily expressions to government terminology, we strive to enable students to fully grasp and integrate them into their lives.

People signed up enthusiastically for the training.

Among them are young people in their prime as well as elderly people with white hair. In order to communicate smoothly with their relatives in a foreign land, they study hard despite their old age and frailty. Their seriousness is no less than that of young people.

For a time, there was a craze for learning Mandarin throughout the Tang Dynasty, from bustling cities to remote and quiet villages.

The first day of the fourteenth year of Qianwu.

On this day, the entire city of Chang'an was decorated with lights and filled with a strong and warm festive atmosphere.

In the streets and alleys, colorful lanterns hang high like stars, in various shapes and exquisite craftsmanship.

The palace was quiet and peaceful, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.

This year, the New Year's Day ceremony was still not held.

Li Chengqian cared about the world and knew that the people deeply longed for family reunions.

Therefore, he specifically ordered that only one hundred guards be left in the palace to take turns guarding to ensure the peace of the palace.

All the palace maids and kitchen staff were granted a long vacation. They set out on their journey home eagerly, unable to wait to share this rare family happiness with their families.

Now only Li Chengqian and his family are left in the empty palace.

Even though there were not many people, the blood-thicker-than-water kinship filled the entire palace with warmth.

In addition to Li Jiming and Li Mingda, Changsun Chong's family was also invited. Li Chengqian also specially sent someone to receive Su Tan and Chen Ruoyun into the palace with the highest courtesy.

The whole family gathered together to welcome the Spring Festival. This reunion was particularly precious and filled with deep warmth.

Li Chengqian carefully selected the Jinshen Hall as the venue for this gathering.

Although this palace is small in scale, its layout is exquisite and reasonable, just as the saying goes, "although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs."

It not only has clean and tidy toilets, but also facilitates daily life.

There is also a spacious and bright kitchen. The flames in the stove are jumping happily, exuding a warm atmosphere, and all kinds of cooking utensils are neatly arranged.

The most eye-catching part is the elegantly decorated main hall, which is spacious, with smooth stone slabs on the floor and several exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, adding a touch of elegance to the entire space.

It is perfect for the whole family to sit together and share a rich and delicious reunion dinner.

In the main hall, boxes of wine and juice were neatly arranged on the floor.

The wines are rich and varied, with a mellow and rich aroma.

On the table, sweet and tempting toffee is wrapped in exquisite candy paper, exuding a sweet aroma.

There is steaming milk tea in the pot, and there are a lot of dried fruits around it.

In the kitchen, Li Chengqian and Su Zhi were busy as hell, like a pair of partners with perfect understanding.

Su Zhi stood in front of the stove, holding the handle of the pot in her hand, her figure light and nimble, concentrating on heating the oil. The flames licked the bottom of the pot, making crackling sounds.

While she was working, she shouted loudly: "Brother Qian, hurry up, is the meat cut? It's time to put it in the pot!" Her voice was crisp, loud and full of energy.

Li Chengqian was standing in front of the chopping board, cutting the meat into slices with swift movements, making sure each piece was cut into even sizes.

Hearing Su Zhi's urging, he hurriedly responded: "Okay, okay!" Then he handed over the cut meat.

Su Zhi took the meat slices and shook her wrist lightly, showing her skilled pan-flipping skills. The meat slices flew up and down in the pan, emitting bursts of tempting aroma, making people salivate.

Everyone else was sitting in the main hall outside, watching Li Chengqian and Su Zhi busying around in the kitchen. Although they wanted to help, they couldn't do anything.

Su Tan sat in a chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, a kind smile on his face. He gently stroked his beard and said with emotion, "Your Majesty and the Queen personally cooked for us. I never dared to imagine it! Such an honor, I am truly flattered."

Chang Sun Chong nodded in agreement when he heard Su Tan's words, his face filled with gratitude. "Who wouldn't say otherwise? We are truly fortunate to receive such treatment. Today, I will definitely savor the cooking of His Majesty and the Queen."

At this time, Su Zhi asked loudly again: "Brother Qian! Is the hot pot ready?"

Li Chengqian was adding seasonings to the hot pot on the coal stove. He placed various spices into the pot in an orderly manner, emitting a rich and mellow aroma.

He quickly responded, "It's done, Lingxi'er, all that's left is to cut the meat!"

While Su Zhi was cooking, she asked, "Where's the meat?"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said in frustration, "Oh, the meat is still outside and hasn't been brought in yet!"

Then, he turned to Li Jingyou and Li Jingyi outside and shouted, "Jingyou, Jingyi, hurry up, both of you go out and help Dad bring in the frozen beef and mutton outside."

He also reminded: "Wash your hands before taking it!"

Li Lizhi heard Li Chengqian ordering his nephews and nieces around.

He smiled and wanted to get up to get the meat.

But he was stopped by Li Jiming.

"Sister, let them go by themselves! They are not children anymore!"

Li Jiming will not give in to a child, and she herself thinks of herself as a child.

As he said this, he glanced at Li Jingyou provocatively.

Li Jingyou didn't care.

He spread his hands.

"Little aunt, don't forget the red envelope you gave me this year!"
