Tang Dynasty: Father, if you don't rebel, I will!

"Brother! It wasn't me!"

"You know me..."

As soon as Li Yin entered, before Li Chengqian had even questioned him, his instinctive rebuttal caused Li You and the others in the hall to have strange expressions.

His gaze swept back and forth between the furious Kim Seung-man and Lee Yin.

"Hehehe... I didn't expect that Lao Liu would like this type. But if you like it, just say so. Why resort to such despicable means?"

Li You wasn't worried at all about things escalating. He stood aside with his hands in his pockets, enjoying the spectacle and adding fuel to the fire.

Li Yin's eyes widened: "What the hell? How could I possibly be interested in her?!"

He saw Kim Seung-man glaring angrily at him and suddenly let out a cold snort.

He twisted his neck and said, "I don't even know what you're talking about!"

"Hahahaha! Sixth brother, you still want to struggle? You tried to explain yourself the moment you came in, you've already given yourself away!" Li You laughed.

Kim Seung-man was so angry at Lee Yin's shameless behavior, which was as shameless as turning her back on him after getting rid of him, that her teeth chattered.

"That day, you clearly set me up, making me lose everything at the Jinbao Casino and even owe them a huge sum of money. Those people were all shills you hired! You..."

Li Yin sneered and shrugged.

"What a joke! Why would I, the King, trick you? Why would I set a trap for you? Kim Seung-man, do you really think you're still a princess in my Great Tang Dynasty just because you were a princess in Silla?"

"Your meager silver coins are so small that even if they were placed right in front of me, I wouldn't bother to look at them!"

Kim Seung-man's pretty face turned even paler with anger.

He staggered to his feet in anger, pointing at Li Yin and questioning him furiously.

"You dare to do it but not admit it? You, that day you impersonated someone claiming to be Young Master Liu, and even said you lost 80,000 strings of cash, you..."

Everyone looked on as if they were watching a show.

Even Li Zhi, who used to be completely uninterested in the gossips of the girls around him when he was studying at the First Official Academy, was now listening with great interest.

This is the first time I've experienced the joy of gossip...

Li Yin remained unmoved, even though Jin Shengman was already pointing her finger at him and cursing.

He remained calm and composed, vehemently denying the allegations.

"joke!"

"Who am I? The Sixth Prince of the Tang Dynasty! My father was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the General of Heavenly Strategy who conquered half of the Tang Dynasty's territory! My maternal grandfather was also the Emperor of the previous dynasty, a descendant of two dynasties! A member of the royal family!"

"How dare you, a mere princess of Silla, slander me out of thin air?"

"To say that I am using someone else's name? That is utterly laughable and a ridiculous farce!"

Li Yin made an exaggerated expression as if he had suffered a great injustice, staring wide-eyed with an air of righteous indignation.

"Since childhood, I have been taught by my mother and empress. Now that I have come to Taiyuan, I am also guided by my elder brother, the Crown Prince. A true man should act uprightly and sit properly! He should not change his name or surname!"

"What crime could be so grave that I must hide my identity and use someone else's name?"

"Come, I'll let you explain yourself today! Just how great is your crime that you've frightened me to death!"

Li Yin looked up and saw that his body, after long-term training and medicinal baths, was actually a hand's width taller than Jin Shengman's at this moment.

The arrogant, head-raised posture at that moment truly told Kim Seung-man what was going on.

What does it mean to look down on someone?

"Clap clap clap..." Li You clapped and shook his head, feeling ashamed of his own inadequacy.

He made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound.

"Sixth Brother, you certainly have a silver tongue, your words are as eloquent as a clapper..."

Li Yun's lips twitched. He was an honest man and would never do something like this, where the victim comes knocking on his door and he turns around and bites back.

Most importantly... Li Yin was still able to look directly at Kim Seung-man without flinching.

Li Zhi looked at Li Yin at this moment.

For some reason, I thought of the stories the girls in my class had been telling me about recently.

Couldn't help but speak.

"Sixth Brother, you look just like that heartless man..."

Li Yin glared at him: "If you shout again, don't blame me for digging up the 12 candy boxes you secretly buried!"

Li Zhi: "???!!!"

Li Zhi's mouth gaped open, his face showing shock and horror.

Li Zhen burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Sixth brother, they've already come knocking on our door, and you're too ruthless, you've swindled the entire delegation's wealth."

Li Yin glared at him again.

"Eighth Prince, I don't understand what you're saying. My surname is Li, and my given name is Yin. When did I become Liu? That Liu cheated her, so why should the blame be placed on me?"

"That's right!" Li Yin seemed to suddenly remember something.

She looked at Kim Seung-man with a sincere expression, whose delicate body was trembling with tension.

"Since you've been so thoroughly scammed... why don't you report it to the authorities?"

Kim Seung-man: "???"

"You...you're shameless!"

Li Yin turned his head, blinked innocently, and looked at his elder brother Li Chengqian, who had somehow returned to his seat.

“Your Majesty, as you can see, I have been wronged. She can’t even produce any evidence!”

"thump!"

Kim Seung-man knelt before Li Chengqian once again.

However, this time the sorrow on his face was even more intense, his body trembled, and tears streamed down his face.

"Your Highness, it really was Prince Liang who deceived me!"

"The people at that gambling den were all in cahoots with him... All the people of the Tang Dynasty have declared themselves wise and discerning, and we implore you to give Silla justice..."

After saying that, he began to kowtow repeatedly to the ground.

"Ahem...Alright, it's just a little money. I'll send someone to tell that gambling den that your gambling debts are wiped clean." Li Chengqian glanced at it indifferently.

Despite her good looks, and despite her tears streaming down her face.

But it's a pity.

These tears turned into gold, into pearls and jewels.

None of these can compare to the Tang Dynasty having a concession or military port in Silla.

He waved his hand.

The plan was to have Wang De directly ask the other party to leave.

however.

Hearing that he was so heartless and unreasonable, Jin Shengman raised her head again. There were still faint red marks on her forehead, and her eyes were filled with despair.

Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and glared resentfully at Prince Liang, Li Yin, who had tricked her into this situation.

"The Tang Dynasty is unwilling to send troops! And they are humiliating me like this. Silla has no room for maneuver. Since that's the case... it doesn't matter where this princess dies!"

After saying that, he suddenly stood up and rushed towards Li Yin's direction.

Li Yin's eyes widened: "Holy crap!"

Just as he was about to instinctively dodge, he suddenly noticed that the angle at which the other party was rushing towards him was wrong, and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, I saw the round pillar inside the hall behind me.

Wang De and the other eunuchs and guards in the Shou Gong Hall angrily shouted, "How dare you!"

"Stab!"

"boom!"

Blood gushed from Kim Seung-man's forehead.

Li Yin was still holding a piece of the torn hemp sleeve of the other party's clothes. When he saw this scene, his pupils shrank.

Wang De and the others had somehow pulled out knives.

He blocked Li Yin and the other princes behind him.

Li Chengqian frowned.

"Check if he's dead or not. If he's not, summon the imperial physician!"

Li Yin rushed forward and quickly felt the other man's carotid artery: "He's not dead, he's still alive! Quickly summon the imperial physician!"

Upon seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"The princess of Silla is such a fool! Clean that pillar for me! Don't offend my eyes!"

"Carry it away, carry it away!"

No one expected Kim Seung-man to be so tough.

If Prince Liang, Li Yin, hadn't pulled her back in time, her brains would have spilled out...

What was supposed to be a lively event ended abruptly.

Yangcheng Palace, Li Yin's palace.

It wasn't until the next morning, when Li Yin was eating breakfast while reading the latest edition of the "Datang Xinbao" newspaper, that things started to change.

After being bandaged and treated by the imperial physician, Jin Shengman finally regained consciousness.

I heard the clinking of cups, plates, and porcelain.

Looking up with difficulty.

Then she saw that figure that she wanted to devour alive.

She silently and laboriously got up and noticed two things next to her pillow.

A small porcelain bottle with the words "Bridge of Helplessness" affixed to it.

There was also a draft contract that was only missing a seal.

The contract clearly bore the words "Silla Kingdom - Tang Dynasty Military Outsourcing Cooperation Agreement".

"Awake? If you're awake, then sign that agreement and stamp it with your Silla's seal." Lee Yin's voice drifted over.

Jin Shengman looked up, only to see that the other person was still facing away from her.

They were enjoying their breakfast there.

She opened her mouth, her voice hoarse as she tried to speak, but she could hardly utter a sound.

There was still a bitter taste of Chinese medicine in my mouth.

however.

Li Yin, however, seemed to have known all along what she was going to ask.

"I'm not here to save you, but to discuss a deal with you... Take a look at the agreement. If you agree, come and have a meal. If you don't agree... then the Bridge of Helplessness is a new drug developed by the Datong National Medical College."

"Slightly sweet, painless, it will make you fall asleep peacefully after you eat it, and then half an hour later, you will silently go to the underworld to report for duty."

"I will have someone find a place with good feng shui nearby to bury you with that money."

Then, Li Yin paused slightly again.

"Of course, since you are capable of committing suicide by hitting your head against a pillar, I am willing to respect your strong-willed hobby."

"There's also a dagger by my pillow, and if you find any pillars in this palace suitable, you may begin your charge..."

Jin Shengman was furious again. Were all the princes of the Tang Dynasty so shameless and arrogant?

The pain in her wound made her involuntarily gasp slightly.

Then, after carefully reading the agreement again, he was instantly enraged by its contents, his already pale face turning even whiter...

"Didn't you say you only wanted to build that Busan port on the coast? Why are you now demanding that Silla hand over its entire army? And that the royal family relinquish military power forever? How is this any different from invasion? You..."

Li Yin's voice was cold.

"Then you can choose not to sign!"

"Busan? If you had known what was good for you yesterday, I might have been able to settle things this way. But now... you're the first person to run into a pillar in my elder brother's birthday celebration hall!"

"Handing over all military power is the best price I've negotiated for Silla!"

"If you don't agree, you can kill yourself!"

"And after Silla was destroyed by Goguryeo and Baekje, a descendant of the Kim clan suddenly appeared in our Great Tang and asked our Great Tang to help restore the country."

"Then, after our Great Tang Dynasty takes over the peninsula, we will present it to you with both hands as a letter of annexation, making it a part of our Great Tang Dynasty!"

"At that time... Yeon Tae-jo and the King of Baekje will be the villains and traitors who have disrupted the peace of the world, and you and your cousin, Queen Deok-sun, who has just ascended the throne, will be forgotten and despised by everyone as rulers of a fallen kingdom..."

"Under heaven, only our Great Tang Dynasty enjoys lasting peace and prosperity, and the nation's fortunes are strong!"

Jin Shengman's hand was now gripping the dagger.

Li Yin, with his back to her, also glanced coldly at a bronze mirror to the side.

One hand quietly gripped a short flintlock pistol at his waist.

A compacted bullet was clearly visible inside...
