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

Just as Li Shimin had made up his mind to take a desperate gamble with his advisors and generals in the Prince of Qin's mansion, plotting to survive against all odds,

In Li Chengqian's small courtyard.

Having just finished his training and put down his spear, Li Chengqian, sitting on a stone bench, suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

[Ding! Ten years have passed since your first Civilization Simulation. You are rewarded with three chances to win Civilization Products.]

【Do you want to draw now? 】

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian, who was adjusting his breathing and preparing to have the eunuch beside him relax his muscles, suddenly had a look of joy in his eyes.

After learning that the lottery would not cause any unusual phenomena, he immediately gave the order without hesitation.

"Draw it for me!"

As soon as the order was given, Li Chengqian felt his consciousness instantly return to the misty forest.

However, unlike last night.

Looking down from the sky, he could see primitive villages scattered like stars in the forest, with people as small as ants bustling about.

Wisps of smoke rose from the chimney, and then Li Chengqian looked closely and saw clearly.

At this moment, many carcasses of wild beasts or furs drying in the mountains can be seen in these tribal villages.

While he was admiring the view below...

Three beams of light suddenly appeared from the depths of the forest below and from the two villages, like shooting stars rising up and flying over in an instant.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Heavenly Treasure - Dragon Essence Fruit"]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained "Fist Technique: Beast Form Fist"]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained "Gun Technique: Chaotic Wind Gun"]

The physical item has been stored in the system space by the host and can be accessed at any time.

Before Li Chengqian could react, two massive streams of information, carrying a wealth of memories of fighting with humans and wild beasts, suddenly exploded in Li Chengqian's mind.

And as these two memories continue to merge.

Li Chengqian felt as if his hands, feet, waist, and every joint in his body had become as responsive as his own arms.

"Holy crap! This feature is awesome!"

Li Chengqian exclaimed in surprise, noticing the strange looks from the eunuchs in the courtyard. He quickly composed himself, coughed twice, and waved for everyone to leave.

"This 'Beast Form Fist' is quite similar to the Xingyi Fist of my previous life, except that the moves of this 'Beast Form Fist' seem to be more savage and ruthless, with every move aimed at taking a life."

"And this 'Chaotic Wind Spear' is full of deadly moves too..."

Li Chengqian, who had previously felt insecure due to the imminent major event and his lack of combat power, suddenly seemed to be infused with surging courage.

This was not just a simple memorization and improvement of routines, but it allowed Li Chengqian to completely resemble a master martial artist who had practiced for decades.

He was ruthless and each move was potentially fatal.

He then focused his attention on another item extracted by the system.

【Heavenly Treasure - Dragon Essence Fruit】: After consumption, it can greatly enhance the user's physical strength and bone and muscle strength, and generate internal energy.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up as he glanced at the small courtyard, which he had already dismissed from everyone else.

Just a thought.

As a red fruit resembling a cherry fell into his hand, Li Chengqian ate it without hesitation.

"Holy crap! It's so hot!"

The terrifying heat made Li Chengqian feel as if his body was being treated with moxibustion from the inside out, and as this intense burning sensation began to flow throughout his body, wisps of mist suddenly began to rise from Li Chengqian's body.

The intense heat lasted for an unknown period of time.

As Li Chengqian gradually recovered, his body was noticeably stronger than before, with the muscle definition that had previously been just a result of long-term exercise.

But at this moment, it has become especially dangerous.

[Ding! The rewards for the first ten years of the Civilization Simulation have been distributed. The next reward will be "the first hundred years of the Civilization Simulation"]

The system's voice made Li Chengqian's eyes light up with joy.

According to the progress of the civilization simulation, a century in reality is only ten days in his space.

"With the system, I don't have to worry about many things. Once the Xuanwu Gate incident is successful, this vast Tang Dynasty can indeed be transformed into a truly prosperous and powerful nation!"

Just as Li Chengqian was happily bathing away the grime with the help of the maids from the Prince of Qin's residence,

now.

Li Shimin's group had already finalized all the directions for their actions.

"Your Highness, since Chang He, the commander of Xuanwu Gate, is trustworthy, and Generals Li Jing and Li Ji are willing to remain on the sidelines, we should plan this important matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, things may change if we delay!"

Li Shimin nodded. Today in the court, Li Yuan's proposal to establish a separate administrative center in Luoyang had drawn such terrifying opposition. Prince Qi, Li Yuanji, almost lost all the support of the court because of this.

If they hesitate any longer, it's not impossible that everyone in the Prince of Qin's mansion will be beheaded.

Immediately, after discussion, the people of the Prince of Qin's mansion came up with a plan to kill Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Prince Qi Li Yuanji in the palace.

The next day.

Just as Prince Qin, Li Shimin, entered the palace and secretly met with Emperor Li Yuan, he directly accused Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji of having illicit affairs in the harem and cuckolding their father.

They even used informants from the Prince of Qin's residence to make the story sound very convincing.

He directly mentioned Zhang Jieyu, one of Li Yuan's concubines.

Enraged, Li Yuan ordered a secret investigation and summoned Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji the next morning to confront the three brothers in the palace.

The game is now decided!

That evening, all the advisors and military officers of the Prince of Qin's residence were present, including Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, who had been ordered by Li Yuan to be sent away, and they all returned quietly.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone immediately got into the swing of things.

"With the assistance of Chang He, the general guarding Xuanwu Gate, we can smuggle our troops into the palace. However, to avoid conflict with the palace guards, we must subdue His Majesty before they discover us!"

When Changsun Wuji spoke, everyone nodded in agreement.

“Even so, we eight hundred people still need to be cautious... I will cast a divination!” Zhang Gongjin suddenly spoke, and under everyone’s gaze, he took out two tortoise shells from his bosom.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly rushed over.

All that could be heard was Li Chengqian's angry curse.

"What kind of divination is this?! Does it mean we'll just quit if it's unlucky? If we fail, we'll be nothing but ghosts. Do we need to ask Heaven whether we succeed or fail?"
