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

Chapter 240 Old Man Wei is Here

Li Shimin spoke eloquently, his eyes flashing with confidence, and he listed them one by one, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

Just as he was talking freely and forgetting everything else, he suddenly noticed something strange.

He slowly stopped talking and realized that the surroundings were completely quiet. No one responded to his words, and the voices of agreement had completely disappeared.

Without the support of his old brothers, Li Shimin felt that there was no point in continuing to brag.

He turned his gaze suspiciously to Cheng Yaojin beside him. He saw Cheng Yaojin holding a grass stem in his mouth and whistling intermittently.

A rough big hand kept scratching his messy head, but his eyes were wandering. He deliberately looked to the other side of the street, deliberately avoiding Li Shimin's gaze.

Yuchi Jingde on the other side was exactly the same. His dark face was tense and his eyes were staring straight at a corner of the street, completely ignoring Li Shimin's existence.

Li Shimin couldn't help but frown slightly, with doubts in his heart, and he subconsciously stopped moving forward.

Then he turned around abruptly. This sudden turn made his eyes widen instantly, and he blurted out a cry of surprise: "Fuck!"

When Li Shimin turned around, Li Jiming almost fell off his neck.

He quickly calmed Li Jiming down.

Li Jiming's face flushed with excitement at the sudden movement, and his eyes sparkled with joy.

His tender little hands kept groping on Li Shimin's head, and he shouted happily: "Aye! Aye! This is fun! I want to play more!"

Wei Zheng was standing upright behind him.

He was wearing a thick robe and had a serious expression on his face.

He stood before Li Shimin, clasped his hands respectfully, bowed deeply, and said calmly, "I miss Your Majesty day and night, and my heart is always on Your Majesty's mind. I never thought I would see Your Majesty here today, and see Your Majesty looking so radiant and living such a prosperous life."

"This old minister is very pleased. But I wonder if a humble person like me is qualified to ask for a glass of wine from Your Majesty?"

When Li Shimin heard Wei Zheng's words, his heart skipped a beat. An inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart, and for a moment he was afraid to respond easily.

He carefully took Li Jiming off his neck, gently placed him on the ground, and then handed him to Cheng Yaojin who was standing beside him.

Then he looked at Wei Zheng with forced composure, forced a smile, and said with a slightly dry voice, "My dear Wei, of course there is."

Wei Zheng's face remained calm, but his eyes stared at Li Shimin, as if filled with thousands of words.

He slowly said, "Your Majesty, the moment I first saw Your Majesty, I really thought I was old and weak, and my eyes were blurry and I was seeing things wrong."

"Only when I saw these familiar old friends around me did I dare to confirm that it was really Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, according to common sense, Your Majesty should be buried in Zhaoling Mausoleum by now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin felt a surge of displeasure in his heart. His brows furrowed tightly, and he subconsciously retorted, "Is it not possible to fake my death?"

When Wei Zheng heard this, he took a deep breath.

He straightened his back and raised his voice, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, are you treating the Tang Dynasty and its people as a joke?"

"Your Majesty was able to fake his own death, but have you ever considered how many people in Chang'an would have died and been buried with him because of your majesty?"

"If it weren't for the wisdom and intelligence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who stabilized the court in a timely manner, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how many loyal ministers and generals will lose their lives because of you?"

As Li Shimin listened to Wei Zheng's well-reasoned and righteous questioning, his mind went blank. For a moment, he racked his brains but could not think of any suitable words to refute him.

In a panic, he quickly glanced at Li Ji behind Wei Zheng, his eyes full of help, hoping that he could stand up and say a few words to smooth things over at this awkward moment.

Li Ji understood Li Shimin's expression and grinned, laughing dryly a few times, trying to break the awkward atmosphere with his laughter.

"Hahahahaha, hahahahaha."

He laughed very hard.

Everyone around him was immersed in the awkward atmosphere and no one paid any attention to his laughter.

As time went on, his laughter gradually became weaker.

Finally, he stopped laughing helplessly, turned his head away awkwardly, his eyes full of helplessness.

After all, Wei Zheng was a man who took the overall situation into consideration and did not argue with Li Shimin on the spot.

After all, this is a busy street, and many people have been attracted by the movement here and are looking over here curiously.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin and sighed softly, his sigh filled with infinite emotion. He said, "Your Majesty, let's go together."

Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng. Although he was extremely reluctant, he knew he was in the wrong. He nodded silently, a trace of guilt quietly spreading in his heart. He whispered, "Then let's go together."

In this way, the group walked silently towards the sanatorium.

Along the way, everyone kept their lips tightly shut, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

Cheng Yaojin felt really uncomfortable and wanted to speak up to liven up the atmosphere several times.

He excitedly told a joke he had heard on the street, but the joke seemed particularly boring in the depressing atmosphere and no one laughed.

After a while, he enthusiastically talked about some interesting things happening in the streets, but everyone was still immersed in their own thoughts and did not respond to his words.

Just like what happened to Li Ji before, the harder he tried to liven up the atmosphere, the more awkward it became.

In the end, Cheng Yaojin gave up completely. He shook his head helplessly and thought, forget it, let them be.

So he simply said something to Li Shimin, and then turned around and walked towards the milk tea shop on the street with Li Jiming and Li Mingda, muttering: "Let's buy some hot milk tea, this is the serious business."

Seeing this, Yuchi Jingde followed without hesitation.

As soon as the few people left the crowd, Cheng Yaojin suddenly felt relieved. He shouted, "Old Black! How scary! Old Wei is here! It's better to come out!"

Yuchi Jingde deeply agreed and nodded in agreement, his expression becoming much more relaxed.
