The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"The people of Eastern Wu thought they had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but they never expected that the landlord was even more ruthless than Cao Wei!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed hysterically after seeing Li Jing's methods.

These powerful and influential families deserve to be killed!

They had no concept of the common people, or even of a nation or dynasty.

They only care about their own family!

The saying "a dynasty lasts a hundred years, a family lasts a thousand years" perfectly describes this group of people!

Zhu Yuanzhang would only applaud Li Jing's handling of the matter!

"But doing this might provoke resistance from the powerful families, and if something unexpected happens, the world we've gained could be destroyed in an instant."

The power of aristocratic families should not be underestimated!

Zhao Kuangyin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Once the powerful families are in turmoil, it could even threaten the very foundation of a unified dynasty!

Moreover, Li Shimin had truly unified the country. Even after capturing Luoyang, the eastern capital, there were still many cities in the north that would put up a stubborn resistance!

If even powerful clans were forced to stand on the opposite side, it might create a second enemy like the Cao Wei dynasty!

"It's useless. Winning over some, suppressing others, and killing others—Li Er knows how to play this game very well."

"Moreover, after learning from the lessons of the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families, even those he won over are not having an easy time."

Zhu Yuanzhang could probably guess the methods Li Shimin would use.

Or rather, having reached this point, most of their thoughts are the same.

In the sky.

The gentry who had gathered in Jianye were all reduced to poverty by Li Jing's exploitation.

After killing a group of people, the remaining people cooperated perfectly.

On the other side of the scene, Cao Rui did indeed do as Li Shimin had predicted.

After holding out for a month without seeing any reinforcements and with the morale of the defenders completely shattered, he had no choice but to surrender.

Upon seeing Cao Rui's letter of surrender, Guanqiu Jian was filled with grief and indignation.

This time, we were ready to fight to the death, so why did Your Majesty surrender first?

He wanted to fight to the death, but Cao Rui had shown him great kindness. If his resistance caused Cao Rui to suffer even the slightest harm, Guanqiu Jian's death would not be enough to atone for his sins!

The next morning, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun left the city on time to escort the surrendered soldiers.

When Zhuge Liang returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, with Guanqiu Jian and the prisoners behind him, Li Shimin granted a general amnesty and held a banquet in the palace.

At Li Shimin's warm invitation, Cao Rui went on stage with a big smile and danced a song.

"It's a pity that Li Jing has not yet brought Sun Quan back, otherwise we would have seen the two of them dancing together."

Zhuge Liang: “…”

Your Majesty, where did you pick up such a bad habit!

Late at night, Zhuge Liang came alone to the top of the city wall of the Eastern Capital.

Looking at the bustling prosperity before him, tears welled up in his old eyes.

Late Emperor, did you see this?

Late Emperor, General Guan, General Zhang, your old minister has finally realized our lifelong dream and has not let you down.

"Prime Minister, it's late. You should rest early. The Northern Expedition is over, but we still have a battle to fight against the powerful clans."

Li Shimin appeared behind him at some point and patted Zhuge Liang's old shoulder.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has a question for you, and hopes that Your Majesty will answer it truthfully."

"..."

"Ask me, I won't lie to you."

Li Shimin knew that Zhuge Liang would definitely be able to see through it.

After all, he had never deliberately impersonated Liu Shan during this period of time.

"This old minister does not know which deity you are, but you are certainly not my child. I would like to ask you, how is my child doing now?"

Are you alright?

Li Shimin frowned; he didn't know the answer to this question either.

But now that he's come to Shu Han, where is Liu Shan...?

Holy crap, my Great Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin slapped his forehead.

broken!

If he comes to the Tang Dynasty, then Liu Shan has gone to his Tang Dynasty!?

"He should be alright, and he's probably living a much more comfortable life than this."

Li Shimin felt he was having a headache.

That kid better not mess around!

Although he didn't know why his expression had become somewhat ferocious, Zhuge Liang still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then this old minister is relieved. Your Majesty, if you are willing to trust this old minister, you may entrust the battle with us entirely to me."

Beyond the sky.

Lin Feng, too, personally witnessed what swift and decisive action truly meant.

After escorting Sun Quan and others back to the capital, Li Jing did not rest at all and immediately led his army north to recapture the remaining cities.

After Zhuge Liang persuaded Jiang Wei to surrender, he ordered him and Zhao Yun to lead troops together to wipe out the remaining stubborn resistance forces within the territory of Eastern Wu.

The purge of prominent families began in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

They purged the powerful families of Wei, won over the prominent families of Shu and Jingzhou, and suppressed all the aristocratic families of Wu.

It took Li Shimin three whole years to complete all of this.

Three years later, what is revealed to everyone is the Han Dynasty that has been destroyed three times!

The phrase "No one other than the Liu family may be called king" was etched in everyone's mind!

The Western Han Dynasty fell, and Liu Xiu rebuilt the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty fell, and Li Shimin, who replaced Liu Shan, rebuilt the Shu Han Dynasty!

"Even though I know it's a parallel world and has no impact on our world, I still can't help but wonder how much pressure those ambitious people in that world must be under."

Whoever wants to rebel will face the pressure of the Han Dynasty's three foundings and the Heaven's blessing.

An ambitious person may want to rebel, but would anyone actually dare to oppose him?

The four words "May God bless the Han" will likely be deeply etched in the hearts of every citizen!

"Fortunately, it was a work of an immortal, so it didn't affect us; otherwise..."

Otherwise, Zhao Kuangyin felt that if he wanted to be in his current position, he would probably have to rack his brains to change his surname to Liu.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "+1"

Zhu Di: "+1"

Yang Jian: "+1"

……

Ying Zheng: "?"

Why is his surname Liu, and not Ying?

Where did this Great Han Dynasty come from? How come it seems to have a greater influence than their Great Qin Dynasty in the mouths of these people?

"Don't ask, First Emperor. The Han Dynasty was established by stepping on the head of your Qin Dynasty. We have to thank your precious son for that."

Zhu Yuanzhang generously offered a reminder.

"My precious son?"

Ying Zheng frowned deeply.

Does this mean that the Qin Dynasty was destroyed by his son?

Impossible! Although Fusu was somewhat weak, he was by no means a ruler who would bring about the downfall of his country!

Furthermore, with Meng Tian assisting them, even if the remnants of the six states were to rebel, they would never be able to threaten the Great Qin!

"What nonsense!"

Upon seeing this comment, Lao Zhu immediately became angry.

I'm trying to give you a friendly reminder, and you don't appreciate it?

"We're not going to stoop to your level. Just you wait and see. Your precious son is guaranteed at least a top-three finish on the Immortal Ranking. You'll see how embarrassed you are then!"
