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

Li Chengqian stared at Qin Ruzhao intently.

He cleared his throat and continued, "In the past, the barbarians from all directions coveted the land of our Great Tang. Their evil intentions were unyielding, and they repeatedly provoked us, attempting to invade our mountains and rivers and plunder our people."

"Under such circumstances, if the Tang Dynasty wants to maintain peace and stability, it must establish its authority."

"The only way to deter those villains is to send our Tang warriors to the battlefield and strike with a resolute attitude. Even if it means destroying certain evil-minded forces, we must show the martial virtues of the Tang Dynasty to the world and let them know that the majesty of the Tang Dynasty is inviolable."

At this point, Li Chengqian paused slightly, as if recalling the days of war and battle.

Immediately, he changed the subject, his expression softening slightly. "But now, times have changed. The barbaric forces that should have been destroyed have been crushed by the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and those that should have been assimilated are gradually being integrated into the great family of the Tang Dynasty."

"After years of war, the people's lives have been shattered. They urgently need to recuperate and restore peace."

"So, your perspective must also evolve with the changing times. You must never again view the people of other countries who have been incorporated into the Tang Dynasty with the same eyes as before. From the moment they set foot on Tang territory, they are our fellow citizens, enjoying equal rights and the same opportunity to serve in the imperial court."

Li Chengqian emphasized his tone, "My lifelong pursuit is to realize the grand vision of universal peace. You must keep my sincere wishes in mind."

"As the Tokyo envoy, I sent you to guard the east, and this is the profound meaning behind it."

"Assimilation cannot be achieved simply by bestowing favors; it requires a two-pronged approach, combining kindness with force."

Li Chengqian explained patiently.

"The Goguryeo people have always valued the use of force and possess a deep-seated refusal to concede defeat. Many among them undoubtedly harbor ambitions of independence. When you arrive there, you must frequently lead your troops on tours to demonstrate the might of the Tang Dynasty."

"When we encounter those who are restless and seek to split and establish their own regime, we must show no mercy and must use ruthless and thunderous means to make them truly feel the unshakable majesty of the Tang Dynasty."

"This is why I sent you to Tokyo to take charge."

"As for those people who sincerely submit to the Tang Dynasty, you must uphold a fair and equal attitude and treat them equally."

"Perhaps you cannot fully understand my good intentions now, but as time goes by and you experience more, you will naturally understand my painstaking efforts."

Qin Ruzhao listened intently to every word Li Chengqian said. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he straightened his back and nodded earnestly, saying, "Your Majesty, I will do my best to live up to your trust."

"Yeah." Li Chengqian responded softly, with a look of relief on his face.

Then, he changed the subject and his tone became gentle: "Ruzhao, that child, you must pay more attention to him and take good care of him during this mission to India."

"He is now a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Don't think of him as someone with Goguryeo blood. Goguryeo has long been reduced to ashes and no longer exists."

"This child is extraordinary."

Li Chengqian's heart surged with emotion as he thought of Wang Wen. He narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into a brief moment of contemplation. He wondered if there was anyone else in this world as unique as Wang Wen.

Recalling the scene when he first met Wang Wen, Li Chengqian realized that this child had a unique quality and was a talented person with great potential.

However, as to how talented he is, we need to observe him more to know.

This is also the key reason why Li Chengqian insisted on letting Wang Wen join the delegation.

After all, a person's true character and inner potential can be best seen in the little details of daily interactions and when dealing with various trivial matters and problems.

"Ruzhao, this mission to India is a long one, and the circumstances are complex. Please keep a close eye on Wang Wen for me, and record in detail his every word, action, and response to various situations."

"When you return safely, present it to me immediately."

Li Chengqian's expression was serious as he continued, "On a normal day, unless his life is in danger, you must not rashly help him. Let him face various interpersonal relationships and complex situations on his own, and learn to grow in difficult situations."

"You just need to make sure he returns to Chang'an alive and safe."

When Qin Ruzhao heard this, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, the team going to India this time is composed entirely of children of court officials, and even includes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"This... If I don't help him, he, a child from a poor family with Goguryeo blood, will probably be bullied and suffer terribly!"

Qin Ruzhao originally thought that His Majesty meant for him to take good care of Wang Wen, protect him and not let him suffer any grievances, but he did not expect that His Majesty only asked him to save Wang Wen's life.

In his opinion, such an arrangement was really cruel to the child.

The different living conditions are enough to make Wang Wen lose confidence in the future.

Qin Ruzhao was born in poverty. He had been struggling in a difficult life since childhood and experienced the ups and downs of life.

Therefore, he could easily put himself in Wang Wen's shoes and consider the problem from his perspective.

In such an envoy team composed of the children of high-ranking officials, a child from a poor family with Goguryeo blood would inevitably suffer a lot of exclusion, difficulties and humiliation.

Just thinking about how I would be bullied makes me feel uncomfortable.

"I just want to see how he will react and deal with it when he is bullied or in trouble."

“When Heaven bestows upon a man a great responsibility, it must first test his mind and spirit, exhaust his muscles and bones, and starve his body.”

Li Chengqian looked calm and said earnestly, "If a person does not experience the baptism of wind and rain and the tempering of hardships, it is difficult for him to achieve greatness and shoulder important responsibilities."

“The way and attitude in dealing with things best reflects a person’s nature and ability.”

"You just need to strictly follow my arrangements."

"Remember, you must record it carefully for me without leaving anything out."

Although Qin Ruzhao still had many doubts in his heart, he could not disobey the emperor's will. He could only nod helplessly and said, "I understand. I will obey your majesty's order."

But his heart could not calm down for a long time and was in turmoil.

Your Majesty seems to attach extraordinary importance to Wang Wen.

Did he want Wang Wen to be as talented and ambitious as he and Xianhuai were in their youth?

But Qin Ruzhao thought about it over and over again, and always felt that it was not similar.

After all, His Majesty never deliberately tested them like this back then.

What's more, Wang Can was specially asked to accompany him.
