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

Outside the Great Hall of the People, there was a bustling crowd of people.

An important meeting is taking place in the conference hall.

Li Chengqian looked focused, his eyes scanning every citizen representative in the audience, taking in their every word and every expression.

At the beginning of the meeting, Li Chengqian had a clear idea of ​​its direction in his mind and the importance of this conference in understanding people's livelihood and consolidating the country's foundation.

As the discussion deepened, various unexpected situations arose.

Some people spoke sincerely, complaining that the wages in their hometowns were too low and it was difficult to make a living.

Some expressed gratitude and talked about how their lives had improved after the implementation of the new policy.

These voices deviated somewhat from Li Chengqian's vision. Fortunately, however, the overall situation remained within his control. After this in-depth discussion, he gained a more thorough understanding of the current living conditions of the people of the Tang Dynasty and gradually formed a clear blueprint for planning.

This conference has been prepared for a long time, from the careful arrangement of the venue to the organization and coordination of personnel from all parties, it has consumed a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

It takes three full days, and now the entire Chang'an City seems to be revolving around this conference.

Li Chengqian knew clearly that the purpose of mobilizing such a large army was not just to listen to the people's complaints about the hardships of life, but more importantly to implement the concept of "people are the foundation of the country", to let the people truly be the masters of their own affairs, participate in the decision-making of court affairs, and let their voices become an important guide for the governance of the Tang Dynasty.

In the side hall of the Great Hall of the People, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Wang Wenzhen sat there alone, his hands placed awkwardly on his knees, his fingers rubbing together nervously.

His eyes looked at the tightly closed door from time to time. Every time he heard the slight sound of footsteps outside, he couldn't help but tremble all over and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.

This was the first time in his life that he had the opportunity to meet His Majesty alone. In the past, this was an unattainable dream for him who came from an ordinary background. Now that the dream suddenly came true, the great joy and tension made him feel very uncomfortable and restless.

At this time, Mr. Qi followed behind Li Chengqian, holding a thick stack of papers in his hands, which were densely packed with records of various problems raised by the people in the meeting.

From the difficulty of irrigating farmland in remote areas to the many obstacles to commercial development in towns and cities.

From the living security of the elderly and widowed to the difficulties faced by young students in their studies, each and every one of these issues is a pain point that needs to be addressed in the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

During his communication with the people, Li Chengqian specifically asked Mr. Qi to keep detailed records so that he could study them one by one after returning to the palace and work out practical solutions.

"Master Qi, where did you arrange for that young man?"

Li Chengqian was walking quickly when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He stopped abruptly, looked up and asked Mr. Qi beside him.

Today's conference was very complicated, with all kinds of questions and suggestions pouring in like a tide, making him extremely busy. If it weren't for the sudden thought that flashed through his mind at this moment, he would have almost forgotten about his meeting with Wang Wen.

"Your Majesty, I have arranged for him to be in Small Hall No. 1. Would you like to go there now?"

Mr. Qi bowed slightly and replied.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly.

"Yes, Grand Tutor Qi, I will go alone. That young man may be hiding some unspeakable secrets. If you go with him, I am worried that he will be hesitant and dare not tell the truth."

"I will talk to him alone. I will call you after I finish my business."

"The people outside still need someone to receive them. Grand Master Qi, please take care of it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mr. Qi bowed and accepted the order, then turned and walked towards the crowd. His figure quickly disappeared among the bustling people and continued to be busy with this conference that concerned the people's livelihood.

In the side hall, exquisite tea and snacks were placed on the table next to Wang Wen, and the rising hot air was filled with an enticing aroma.

Especially the mung bean cake, which exuded a faint sweet fragrance, which attracted Wang Wen's attention again and again.

His heart was filled with curiosity, and he really wanted to know what this delicious snack from Chang'an City tasted like.

But when he thought about the situation he was in and that he was about to face the supreme emperor, he couldn't stretch out his hand.

He could only sit there stiffly, his body as tense as a fully drawn bow, not daring to breathe.

Suddenly, with a "creak", the door was slowly pushed open. Wang Wen stood up suddenly as if he had been electrocuted.

He was so nervous that he didn't even dare to raise his head. His hands hung unconsciously at his sides, trembling slightly.

Li Chengqian walked in and gently closed the door, blocking out the noise outside. Then a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Young man, I'm sorry, I was busy with work and delayed you for a while. I kept you waiting."

Li Chengqian's voice carried a reassuring power.

When Wang Wen heard this, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he stammered, "Your Majesty, no...no!"

As soon as he said this, he realized his mistake and his face turned red with embarrassment. Then he couldn't say another word and could only stand there awkwardly, at a loss as to what to do.

Li Chengqian looked at his extremely restrained appearance and understood in his heart.

He walked up quickly, stretched out his broad palm, and gently patted Wang Wen's shoulder: "Come on, relax a little, look at you, your body is as stiff as a stone."

"I'm not a man-eating tiger, so why should I be so scared? Come, sit down, and let's have a good chat."

As he spoke, Li Chengqian gently pushed Wang Wen back to his seat.

Li Chengqian's eyes fell on the untouched tea and snacks on the coffee table, and he instantly understood the level of nervousness in the young man in front of him.

He casually picked up a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to Wang Wen with a friendly smile on his face: "Why, are these teas and snacks not to your taste? It would be a waste if you don't eat them."

"Come, try it. Chang'an's mung bean cake is famous for its deliciousness. It's sweet but not greasy and melts in your mouth."

Wang Wen took the mung bean cake in a daze. The moment his fingers touched Li Chengqian, an indescribable warmth surged in his heart.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the amiable Majesty in front of him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's smile and tone made Wang Wen feel extremely familiar and kind. In a trance, he could not tell whether the man in front of him was the almighty monarch or the father who loved him at home.

He originally thought that no matter how close His Majesty was to the people, there would always be an insurmountable gap between him and the ordinary people. But at this moment, Li Chengqian's kindness completely dispelled his concerns.

"Come on, eat and relax."

"My time is limited, so I want to have a good chat with you and learn about the difficulties you have encountered in life. I will write them down one by one and deal with them seriously after returning to the palace."

"Don't be nervous. Just say whatever you want to say. There are no outsiders here. You don't need to worry about anything. No matter whether it's big or small, you can tell me everything without reservation."

Li Chengqian said in a gentle tone.
