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

In the East Palace, Li Jingyou sat in the study with a calm expression. He had recently cut off all contact with his confidants, determined to be a safe and stable prince of the Tang Dynasty in the city of Chang'an.

Li Jingyi was like a happy little deer, running freely between the corridors and courtyards of the East Palace.

She was wearing a bright silk dress, the hem of which fluttered lightly with her steps. She was holding an exquisite rattle in her hand, and her laughter was clear and pleasant, echoing throughout the East Palace.

Li Jingyou raised his eyes helplessly, his gaze following his sister's nimble figure.

"Xiaoyi, stop running around like this."

"Look at the East Palace. It's not what it used to be. There aren't many servants to help run it."

"If you make a mess here, I'll have to clean it up, won't I?"

His voice was gentle, and his words were full of the doting of a brother towards his sister. After he finished speaking, he sighed softly.

When Li Jingyi heard his brother's words, his little body suddenly stiffened, as if he was under a spell. His little head tilted slightly to one side, and he blinked his big watery eyes, pondering his brother's words seriously.

But just two seconds later, she curled her lips into a sly smile, spread her legs again, and ran away, her silver bell-like laughter becoming louder and louder.

Li Jingyou looked at his sister's receding back, feeling helpless. He had long known that his words had limited influence on this naughty girl, but the duration of their effectiveness was too short, which really made people laugh.

He held his forehead helplessly, his eyes falling on the open book in front of him. The densely packed words seemed to have turned into little ants crawling around in front of his eyes, and he couldn't concentrate on reading at all.

Just then, a rhythmic knock came from outside the closed door.

Li Jingyou immediately sat up straight, subconsciously straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, and said calmly and forcefully, "Come in."

He originally thought that the person who came in would be the guard of the East Palace, after all, the guards often came to report matters on weekdays.

But when the door slowly opened, the person who came into view was his own father.

This unexpected scene made Li Jingyou's eyes widen instantly, with some surprise in his eyes, and the expression on his face froze in an instant.

"Father, why did you knock on the door to come in?" Li Jingyou asked with a puzzled look on his face. In his opinion, his father was the emperor, and it should be natural for him to come in and out of any place, and there was no need to be so polite.

As soon as Li Jingyi saw Li Chengqian, his eyes lit up instantly, his face flushed with excitement, and he rushed towards Li Chengqian, shouting, "Father, Father, you are finally here!"

Li Chengqian had a kind smile on his face. He held Li Jingyi in his arms, gently touched her head, and said softly, "Yes, I missed you two, so I came to see you."

After saying that, he looked up at Li Jingyou, his eyes full of concern.

"You'er, are you studying the classics? Your sister is making such a fuss here, I'm afraid it's hard for you to calm down."

Then, Li Chengqian lowered his head again, looked at Li Jingyi in his arms, and said softly, "Yier, go to your mother first. I have some important matters to discuss with your brother. Come back and play with us later, okay?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Jingyi, though somewhat reluctant, nodded obediently like a sensible little adult. Blinking her bright eyes, she said earnestly, "Okay, Father. But later, you and brother must come and play with me. I'll be waiting obediently at Mother's place!"

"Yes, it would be best if you could take me to Suzaku Street to buy those delicious cakes and gadgets."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but burst into laughter, and his hearty laughter echoed in the house.

"You clever little thing, you only know how to eat."

"Okay, after I finish talking to your brother, I'll take you for a stroll on Suzaku Street."

After hearing Li Chengqian's promise, Li Jingyi jumped three feet high with excitement, cheering "Yeah", then ran to put on his little shoes happily, and under the guidance of the guards, he skipped towards Su Zhi's residence, his small figure full of expectations.

Li Chengqian looked at his daughter's departing back, and the kindness on his face lingered for a long time.

After Li Jingyi walked away, he gently closed the door of the East Palace. Now only the two of them, father and son, were left in the room.

He turned around and looked at Li Jingyou with a faint smile on his face. He said earnestly: "You are an adult now. Even your father has to knock on the door before entering your room. This is a sign of respect for you. You must understand."

"Does being an emperor mean you can act recklessly and disregard others?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Jingyou's heart was shocked, and his previous perception of the emperor quietly changed at this moment.

In his previous concept, the emperor was the master of the world, possessing supreme power and being the only one who was egocentric, and it seemed that he did not need to care about the opinions of others.

But at this moment, his father's words and deeds made him deeply aware that even if he was in a high position, he still needed to respect others.

Li Chengqian walked slowly to Li Jingyou with steady steps, leaned over slightly, and saw that the book he was studying was one of the textbooks in the academy - "Theory of Class".

This book was customized by Li Chengqian himself, and it embodies his profound thoughts on the social structure of the Tang Dynasty.

The book meticulously divides the people of the Tang Dynasty into various classes, which is very different from the traditional simple division of landlords, common people, and hooligans.

Li Jingyou has been obsessed with this book for a long time. While reading, he seemed to gradually touch the tip of the iceberg of his father's philosophy of governing the country, and gradually understood the deep meaning behind many of his father's policies.

Li Chengqian looked at the book and nodded slightly, his eyes full of satisfaction: "This book is well written. It can teach you a lot about governing a country."

"But you have to remember that for many things, relying solely on textbooks is far from enough. You also have to go out and personally experience the lives of ordinary people, to see how they live and understand the myriad aspects of the world."

"As the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing the country in the future, so you should do the same."

"The Emperor came today because he wanted to discuss some important matters with you."

Li Chengqian's expression straightened slightly and his tone became serious.

Hearing that Li Chengqian had something to discuss with him, Li Jingyou immediately closed his book, sat up straight, and said with a serious look in his eyes, "Father, please speak freely. I will listen carefully."

Li Chengqian nodded and looked out the window, seemingly recalling what had happened in the court. He slowly spoke, "Today, various factions argued endlessly in the court, and quite a bit happened."
