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

The Polo Emperor.

And this is the first time I've failed a challenge since the immortal issued it!

If he couldn't wash away this shame with his own hands, Li Er felt he wouldn't have the face to continue being active in the comments section!

The Tang Dynasty rose to prominence and flourished under his rule.

Then all shame shall be washed away in his hands!

If only the immortals can choose him!

It has to be him!

As the names on the sky rapidly changed, Li Er nervously closed his eyes.

He knew that immortals would never treat anyone differently.

He could only pray silently, hoping that the immortal would choose him.

Even if it means gambling with all my luck!

He also wanted to personally wash away this shame that belonged to the Tang Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, you've been chosen!"

After an unknown amount of time, Empress Zhangsun excitedly tugged at his sleeve.

Li Er immediately felt a sense of relief; if she hadn't been supporting him, he would have almost fallen to the ground!

Seeing the three large characters "Li Shimin" on the sky, he quickly turned around.

"Assemble three thousand Xuanjia soldiers and await my decree."

"Furthermore, who among you is willing to accompany me?"

"The immortal's challenge this time will definitely not be easy. If I go in person, I will not only not have any advantage, but I may also be targeted by that rebel."

"The difficulties may be no less than those faced during the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Gentlemen, who has the confidence to accompany me?"

For a moment, many people fell silent.

Even Cheng Yaojin, who was usually the most uncouth, didn't dare to utter a sound at this moment.

He is not afraid of death.

How many generals who have been tempered in the blood and fire of the battlefield are afraid of death?

What they fear is that, with their own abilities, they cannot protect His Majesty, nor can they help His Majesty wash away this disgrace that belongs to the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei is the most prudent in his actions, and even if the troops are divided, he can cooperate well with Your Majesty. Why not take him along?"

Changsun Wuji hesitated before speaking.

Upon hearing this answer, Li Er merely frowned.

He clearly understood how powerful and influential families treated the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that the Tang Dynasty was destroyed by eunuchs and aristocratic families at the end of its reign!

Even though Li Jing was from the Longxi Li clan, he was deeply connected with them.

But in the end, they are still members of the aristocratic family, and one of the five surnames and seven prominent families that he can hardly control now!

Those who speak of the Li family refer to Longxi, not the Li Tang dynasty itself!

This alone reveals the arrogance of those aristocratic families!

Even though Duke Li Jing of Wei had never been involved in the power struggles of aristocratic families, Li Er still had a thorn in his side.

Seeing his expression, Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat.

I said the wrong thing!

Could it be that the Duke of Wei has fallen out of favor?

It shouldn’t be!

The last challenge was...

Correct!

Origin!

Changsun Wuji immediately understood.

This assessment reveals that the powerful families' control over the imperial examinations and the selection of court officials has instilled fear in His Majesty!

If we were to pinpoint His Majesty's bottom line regarding aristocratic families, not interfering with the imperial examinations would undoubtedly be at the top of the list!

This is the hope for the rise of those from humble backgrounds, and the only way to replenish the imperial court with fresh blood.

This is something His Majesty absolutely cannot tolerate!

His mind raced, and just as he was about to speak again, the rough-looking man beside him spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I'll go with you!"

"Whether I can help His Majesty wash away the shame is unknown, but if I fail, it will surely be the rebels who will step over my dead body first!"

Yuchi Jingde!

"Very well, but Duke of Chu, don't boost the morale of others while diminishing your own."

"I have three thousand armored warriors, I wield the bow, you wield the spear, what can a million-strong army do!"

Li Er smiled with satisfaction.

Did Li Shimin bring anyone with him?

"Yuchi Jingde and my three thousand Xuanjia soldiers!"

[Challenge Participant: Li Shimin; Assisting Challenger: Yuchi Gong.]

[Army: Three thousand Xuanjia soldiers!]

【The challenge begins! 】

The challenge begins!

As the subtitles faded, the sky at a certain point in time suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this situation, some of them were covered in cold sweat.

Everyone knows what the disappearance of the sky means.

In particular, the one participating in this challenge is none other than His Majesty Emperor Taizong!

"What's the panic! This isn't his Great Tang anymore, it's my Great Yan!"

In the imperial court of Chang'an, An Lushan spoke in a cold voice.

Although I don't know what the immortals were thinking.

However, more than ten years have passed since he returned after assassinating Li Longji during the challenge.

The Tang Dynasty had already been destroyed under his iron hooves!

Even if Emperor Taizong's Xuanjia Army of three thousand could defeat one hundred thousand, so what!

His army in the Great Yan now numbers well over 100,000!

Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor has been living a life of luxury for so long, including that Yuchi Jingde.

How long has it been since you last went to the battlefield?

Even with three thousand Xuanjia soldiers, could they really charge forward on the battlefield?

If it were Li Jing who came, he might still be somewhat wary.

But what about Yuchi Jingde?

Ha ha!

"Send out all the scouts. The movements of the three thousand Xuanjia soldiers are definitely not small. Once we find their whereabouts, the army will launch a full-scale encirclement and annihilation operation!"

"From top to bottom, take no survivors!"

As An Lushan's decrees were passed down one by one, all the major aristocratic families and clans were mobilized.

The five clans and seven prominent families, including the Li family of Longxi, all began to search for and suppress Li Er's movements with all their might!

In order to seize the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan promised these aristocratic families a great deal of benefits.

Right now, he can truly say that he is sharing the world with these powerful and influential families.

He didn't care what trouble the aristocratic families might cause in the future!

That's why, the moment the challenge begins, he can get everyone's attention focused on the same thing!

Those powerful clans also did not want Emperor Taizong to make any changes!

So what if it was Emperor Taizong!

During the Zhenguan era, you were the high and mighty Emperor Taizong.

And now, even if you're a dragon, you have to obediently kneel before me!

……

"Your Majesty, how did you come up with this idea?"

"How did you know that the challenge given by the immortals would take place under such circumstances?"

In some unknown mountain valley, Yuchi Gong was filled with lingering fear.

After the challenge began, he thought that if he revealed his identity to His Majesty and gained the support of the Tang army, he could easily quell the rebellion!

Even if the Tang army doesn't support them, they probably won't reveal their identities.

Fortunately, Li Er stopped him in time.

"It's very simple. If things had gone according to plan, even if Li Longji had died, it would have taken An Lushan a very long time to sweep across the entire Tang Dynasty."

"If I were to take on the challenge, I could easily reorganize the army and even easily suppress his so-called military governor of three regions."

"If the challenge were so easy, would the immortals have bestowed such a generous reward?"

Thinking in reverse, Li Er believed that if he were an immortal, he would never bestow such a generous reward on such a simple task.

Therefore, there are bound to be unknown variables in this challenge!

After sending scouts out to investigate for several days, Li Er finally understood the difficulty of this situation.

An Lushan destroyed the Tang Dynasty ten years ago and has now established the Great Yan Kingdom, ruling the world together with powerful families!

This world no longer belongs to the Li family!

Anyone who runs out and shows themselves is walking into a trap!
