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

Wei Biwu, this name was once well-known in the army.

He was originally the general of the Left and Right Thousand Oxen Guards, in charge of the palace guards. The general's armor, which symbolized honor and duty, had accompanied him through countless days and nights.

However, times have changed. With the development of the situation, Qianniuwei was incorporated into the Jinyiwei system, and he became the deputy commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei with his outstanding military talents and leadership style.

This time, he received an urgent military order and traveled day and night with 5,000 Jinyi satellite soldiers.

The sound of horse hooves roared like thunder in the silent night, and the dust raised looked like a galloping dragon in the moonlight.

They rode non-stop and galloped all the way just to catch up with Li Ji's army in Liangzhou.

The soldiers were exhausted from running around day and night, but the mission in their hearts was like a burning flame, supporting them to move forward.

Finally, they arrived in Liangzhou.

The moment they arrived, the Black Armor Army, like an army of steel, also discovered them.

The soldiers of the Black Armor Army were clad in heavy armor, their eyes as sharp as eagles, revealing the majesty of someone who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

The two sides' eyes met, sparks seemed to fly in the air, and a tense and subtle atmosphere instantly spread.

……

"Newspapers for sale, newspapers for sale."

In the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, the clear and loud cries of newspaper vendors could be heard one after another.

"One penny a copy, come and buy it!"

There was great enthusiasm in the voices of the newspaper vendors.

"You won't suffer a loss, you won't be deceived! Chang'an Daily, you deserve it!"

They were waving newspapers in their hands, and the newspapers looked particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.

In this era, paper and books are extremely precious things to ordinary people.

Its expensiveness is beyond imagination. Not only does it cost a huge amount of money, but the purchasing channels are extremely limited and are almost monopolized by the major aristocratic families.

It’s no wonder that scholars are so precious in the eyes of the world.

But now, this thing called newspaper is not only large in area, but also printed with dense words, which looks so tempting.

For ordinary people, this is a rare item that is both good quality and cheap.

Not only did newspapers suddenly appear, but many small book stalls also appeared in Chang'an City.

There is a young scholar sitting in each small bookshelf, and their desks are piled with various enlightenment books.

Whenever people passed by with newspapers, these young scholars would enthusiastically explain the contents of the newspapers to them.

Look, the headlines of Chang'an Daily today are really diverse and eye-catching.

The title "A few things Cheng Yaojin and the widow next door must say" aroused people's strong curiosity as soon as it came out.

There is also the topic of "Li Ji has been unable to control his urine since he was a child", which is really hilarious.

Some even asked, "Why is Yuchi Jingde so dark? Shocking! The reason is..."

These highly stimulating topics, like magnets, attract people's attention.

The content of the newspaper is rich and varied. It not only contains these gossips and interesting stories, but also reports on Chang'an's recent large-scale construction projects. The news that it is expected to be completed next year makes people full of expectations for the future of Chang'an.

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty's battles against the Xueyantuo and Tubo were also reported in newspapers, allowing the people to have a better understanding of national affairs.

Almost one newspaper covers information from all walks of life, like a small social encyclopedia.

However, most people were illiterate, and holding the newspaper filled with dense words was like guarding a treasure mountain but unable to mine it, making them anxious and scratching their heads.

But fortunately, we have these book kiosks, and they have played a big role!

I saw ordinary people coming to the bookstall with newspapers in their hands.

The students who were in charge of teaching were really delighted when they saw this scene.

You should know that if you teach a commoner to recognize some basic characters, you can earn ten coins.

Although ten cents may not be a lot of money, according to their experience in Xianyang, it usually only takes more than two months for the people to be able to roughly understand the content of the newspaper.

What if the day is divided into three classes, with a hundred people in each class? After more than two months, the income will snowball. It's like free money.

Under this deliberate guidance, Chang'an fell into a literacy craze.

Whether in the streets or in the fields, you can see people learning to read and write.

Even the old farmers who only knew how to farm on weekdays held a newspaper in their hands and tried hard to learn the meaning of the words on it.

The usual greetings and inquiries about one's well-being have also changed, becoming "Hey, how many words did you learn today?"

“I learned four words?”

"Four words? Not bad!"

"What about you? How many words did you learn?"

"I learned three characters, one less than you!"

At this moment, there would always be an arrogant person passing by and saying to them in a condescending manner: "You two rubbish, you only know a few words. I learned a full 100 words today!"

The people who were ridiculed were naturally unwilling to accept the fact. A fighting spirit was ignited in their hearts, and they began to learn to read desperately.

I get to know ten people today and twenty people tomorrow. I keep thinking that when I know more than a hundred people, I must get back at them.

When they finally achieve this goal, they will search the streets for those who once mocked them, and then proudly say to their arrogant faces: "I also learned a hundred words yesterday!"

But the strange thing is that the person who once mocked them seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could not be found no matter how hard they tried.

.........

The atmosphere in the Liangyi Hall was a little depressing.

Mr. Qi looked at Li Chengqian with a smile on his face, trying to break the depressing atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, the seedling cultivation plan is very successful! In fact, now that our team has the experience of promoting it in Xianyang, it will be even easier to implement it in Chang'an than before!"

Mr. Qi's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"If people continue to learn at this rate, we expect to be able to start large-scale literacy campaigns by early next year."

"Furthermore, I have already begun to establish the Chang'an National School. This is a matter of great significance to our Tang Dynasty!"

Li Chengqian listened to Mr. Qi's report and just nodded weakly.

These days, because of Lu Jingsuo's matter, he felt like he was shrouded in a dark cloud and was depressed for several days.

In this world, the only people who can truly understand Lu Jingsuo's behavior are Mr. Qi and himself.

Mr. Qi sighed helplessly, his eyes full of regret.

"Your Majesty, you better take care of yourself! Xiao Lu is a good kid! Even I misjudged him, what a pity!"

Mr. Qi's tone was filled with deep remorse.

"If I had seen through this earlier and taken him under my wing and nurtured him properly, he would probably be one of Your Majesty's right-hand men now! I am guilty of negligence, Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

As he spoke, Mr. Qi bowed respectfully.

Li Chengqian slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at Mr. Qi, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"Mr. Qi, what crime have you committed? I understand everything in my heart. It's not your fault. It's just that my emotions have come out, and I can't help it."

Li Chengqian's voice was a little hoarse.

"I feel so uncomfortable in my heart!"

He paused, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Old Qi, come sit next to me. Being an emperor is so lonely!"

Li Chengqian's eyes showed deep nostalgia, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to the past.

"I still miss the days when we were brothers."

He recalled the good times he had when he met Mr. Qi and Fatty Lin.

At that time, they had not yet revealed their identities to each other, there was no distinction between king and subject, and no worldly barriers between them.

Li Chengqian came up with ideas, Mr. Qi set the rules, and Fatty Lin provided the money. The three of them joined forces, like three sharp swords combined into one, and they were invincible in the process of cultivating talents.

One after another, students of Xianyang National University thrive under their teaching.

At that time, Zhang Xianhuai, Qin Ruzhao, Lu Jingsuo, Hao Ren, Hu Bugui and others still looked young and immature, and the three of them were actually not much older than these students.

In this way, pairs of teacher-student relationships with common ideals and the ability to talk about everything were born inadvertently.

Those were days full of laughter and hope, without the heavy burdens and complicated situations of today.

"Your Majesty, the king is the king and the minister is the minister."

Mr. Qi said respectfully, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "It's not that I don't want to be friends with Your Majesty, but I simply can't! Your Majesty, I said it all along: once you sit on the throne, you won't have any true friends!"

Li Chengqian glanced at Mr. Qi and said with a smile, "Aren't you, Mr. Qi, and Fatty Lin, my friends?"

Mr. Qi nodded first, then shook his head, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"We are Li Chengqian's friends, not your Majesty's friends."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes.

"I understand. We will still be friends one day." He paused, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Grand Master Qi, I'm a little tired. How about you accompany me on a private visit? Since I ascended the throne, I haven't even set foot outside the palace. Life in the palace is really exhausting!"

"Since Your Majesty wishes to go out and relax, I am most pleased to oblige."

Mr. Qi replied.

"Should we invite Fatty along?"

Li Chengqian suddenly asked.

Mr. Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, Xianyang is too far away, and I don't think Fatty Lin really wants to see you."

Li Chengqian was full of confusion and asked, "Why doesn't he want to see me?"

Mr. Qi's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "My former friend has become the emperor, and you ask him for money every now and then. In addition to the two wars and the betrothal gift from His Majesty, the starter of the seedling cultivation plan also came from him..."

Mr. Qi paused and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"He cheated... and extorted a fortune. I'm guessing he doesn't want to see me and Your Majesty right now. Not only is he busy using the Chamber of Commerce to make money for the Tang Dynasty, but he also has to ensure sufficient food reserves and the dispatch of various supplies. In fact, the stingy fat guy is busier than anyone else."

When Li Chengqian heard what Mr. Qi said, he smiled helplessly, feeling both distressed and amused.

"This fat guy is so funny and pitiful, he's so adorable."

At this moment, the fat man in Xianyang suddenly sneezed. "A-choo!"

He rubbed his nose and muttered, "Who is it! Who is secretly scolding me again!"
