I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

But when he opened the book, he was shocked by the scene before him.

The front of the book was densely covered with tiny regular script. Although those characters were not at the level of a great calligrapher, they were neat and powerful, and were obviously written by the owner with great care.

Li Chengqian had already developed the habit of reviewing memorials on a daily basis. When he saw the full page of text, he subconsciously began to read it carefully.

You won’t know until you see it. When Li Chengqian saw it, he felt his heart skip a beat.

This Zhang San's notebook actually recorded in detail many of the current legal provisions of the Tang Dynasty. Next to each law, he also annotated some of the loopholes in it in smaller words, and even gave his own ideas on how to correct these loopholes in a clear and organized manner.

Li Chengqian's expression instantly became serious, his brows furrowed tightly into the shape of a "川" character, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

He raised his head, stared at Zhang San, and asked with a hint of doubt in his voice, "Did you write these words yourself?"

When Zhang San saw His Majesty flipping through the book, he was stunned for a moment.

His mind went blank and he could only feel a buzzing in his ears.

He would never have thought that His Majesty would look through his own notebook!

The things above are just some of his thoughts when he was chatting with a few like-minded friends. They discussed and complained about them privately, and no one would care.

But now these words have been seen by His Majesty, what should we do?

You have to know that there are always people in the world who are dissatisfied with the emperor and the government. No matter how well the government does its job, there will inevitably be people who complain in private. As long as they are not discovered, everything will be fine.

But now, I have revealed these thoughts that I would never dare to show to others in normal times in front of His Majesty. Isn't this courting death?

For a moment, Zhang San felt dry mouth and his throat seemed to be choked by something. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer His Majesty's question.

Li Chengqian didn't care about Zhang San's reaction and continued to immerse himself in the contents of the notebook. His eyes were sometimes sharp and sometimes revealed a hint of appreciation.

Su Zhi stood aside, watching all this quietly. She knew that it was not appropriate to disturb Li Chengqian at this time, so she just stood there quietly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

The waiter saw that the atmosphere here was not right and was so scared that he dared not breathe. He quietly took a few steps back and secretly observed the movements here.

In this way, a quarter of an hour passed quietly in this tense yet quiet atmosphere.

Li Chengqian finally finished reading the contents of the notebook. He took a deep breath, raised his head and glanced at Zhang San. There seemed to be something different in his eyes.

Then, he slowly stretched out his hand, took the brush handed to him by Zhang San, gently dipped some water on the inkstone beside him, and carefully wrote a word on the last page of the notebook.

He handed the notebook to Zhang San, a faint smile on his face, and said, "I have suggested the words for you, but the content is a bit sensitive and it is indeed not suitable for the Queen to suggest words."

Then he looked at Zhang San gently and asked, "What's your name?"

Zhang San secretly raised his head and carefully looked at Li Chengqian's expression. When he found that there was no sign of anger on His Majesty's face, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He swallowed, calmed himself down, and said cautiously with a slightly trembling voice, "Your Majesty, my name is Zhang San."

Hearing Zhang San's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but widen his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face. He seemed a little unable to believe his ears.

He asked again: "What are you talking about? Tell me again, what is your name?"

Zhang San thought His Majesty hadn't heard clearly, so he straightened up even more nervously, cleared his throat, and said again carefully: "Your Majesty, my name is Zhang San."

This time Li Chengqian heard it clearly, and he stared at Zhang San with wide eyes.

No wonder this guy can find loopholes in the law, he's an outlaw!

However, he did not show it and just nodded slightly.

This Zhang San might bring something different to his court in the future.
