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

In the court, the atmosphere suddenly became tense because of Yuan Tiangang's words.

Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Chengqian with a determined gaze and slowly said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember one of the Nine Cauldrons?"

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, his thoughts instantly drawn back to the tripod.

This can be called a national treasure among national treasures. It was seized by Lin Dafu during his house search, and then sent by Zhang Xianhuai overnight.

The appearance of this tripod had caused quite a stir both in the court and among the people. Li Chengqian had originally planned to make a big fuss about it next year to win back the hearts of the people and stabilize the Tang Dynasty.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the tripod?" Li Chengqian stared at Yuan Tiangang, his eyes full of inquiry.

Yuan Tiangang paused slightly, as if weighing his words, and then said resolutely: "Your Majesty, I beg you to destroy this tripod immediately!"

As soon as these words were spoken, before Li Chengqian could respond, the ministers in the back of the court could no longer contain themselves and started to angrily rebuke him.

"How dare you, Yuan Tiangang, do you want to rebel against your superiors?"

An old minister was so angry that his beard was trembling slightly and his face was full of anger.

"Yuan Tiangang, how dare you say such words? That is one of the Nine Cauldrons, a symbol of the destiny and legitimacy of our Tang Dynasty. What is your intention in doing this?"

Another courtier also blushed and shouted loudly.

For a moment, voices of rebuttal came one after another, surging towards Yuan Tiangang like a surging tide.

Yuan Tiangang seemed to be staying out of the matter, motionless, still maintaining a respectful posture with his head bowed, his face as calm as water, without a single ripple.

Li Chengqian was also quite shocked. He knew why his ministers had such a big reaction.

Even his blood pressure was rising a little just now.

This is the charm of the Nine Cauldrons.

One of the Nine Cauldrons is by no means an ordinary object. Its status is so high that it surpasses the imperial seal. It is a national treasure and is closely linked to the legitimacy of the change of dynasties.

If this tripod had never appeared in the world and was quietly destroyed, perhaps no one would care about it. But now it is clearly displayed in front of everyone. It is like the imperial seal falling into the hands of the emperor, but the emperor does not pass it on, but instead orders it to be destroyed. Such behavior will surely be criticized by historians in future generations and will be infamous for thousands of years.

When Li Chengqian thought of this, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He stared at Yuan Tiangang who was silent with his head down below, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

In his previous life, he would have regarded the so-called magical artifact as feudal superstition and laughed it off.

But now, his soul has been reborn as Li Chengqian, and he has personally experienced many strange things. His firm materialistic ideas in his previous life are now somewhat shaken.

He knew that people like Yuan Tiangang who were good at fortune-telling and divination often spoke in an obscure way and were only willing to reveal half of the information.

Now that Yuan Tiangang openly requested the destruction of this tripod, there must be a huge hidden danger behind this tripod that is enough to endanger the Tang Dynasty and may even subvert the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's rule. That is why Yuan Tiangang did not hesitate to say such shocking words in this court.

Li Chengqian shifted his gaze from Yuan Tiangang and glanced at Li Chunfeng not far away. He saw that Li Chunfeng's face was full of anxiety, and his eyes were filled with worry and uneasiness.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian became more certain of his guess.

He remembered the prophecy of the heroine Wu. In history, Wu Meiniang did ascend the throne and became an empress.

Yuan Tiangang was able to calculate this matter accurately, which shows that he has extraordinary ability. What he said today is by no means groundless.

Yuan Tiangang still kept his head down, but his heart was in extreme conflict.

Once I say this, it will be like stirring up a hornet's nest and I will definitely become the target of everyone's criticism.

He also understood that no emperor would easily agree to destroy one of the Nine Cauldrons that symbolized orthodoxy, and that such an action would most likely bring him fatal disaster.

Moreover, once the reason is revealed, not only will all the cultivation in one's life be destroyed, but one may even overdraw one's lifespan due to revealing the secret.

But as the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty, blessed by the emperor, how could he sit idly by and watch the Tang Dynasty fall into crisis?

The desire to repay his gratitude and his own safety collided violently in his heart, causing him great pain.

"I agree."

Just as Yuan Tiangang was torn between his conscience and his desires, a faint voice came from the throne, instantly quieting the court.

"Your Majesty, I understand your doubts, but this tripod..."

Yuan Tiangang subconsciously began to explain, but halfway through, he suddenly seemed to realize something, raised his head abruptly, and looked at Li Chengqian in shock.

"Your Majesty, you..."

He couldn't believe his ears.

"Didn't you hear clearly? My dear Yuan, I say, I agree. Have that tripod melted down."

Li Chengqian looked calm, but his tone left no room for doubt.

When Yuan Tiangang heard Li Chengqian's words, his eyes instantly became moist and tears burst out uncontrollably, streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" His voice was choked with gratitude.
