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

Apart from the fact that the Wang family of Taiyuan was completely wiped out locally.

Most of the remaining members of the major families were escorted back to Chang'an.

In any case, Li Er's decree was simply to kill them all, without specifying how or where to kill them.

So the three of them discussed it and decided to take all these people back to Chang'an, make them repent to the people on the streets of Chang'an, and then, in front of the people of the whole country, execute those who deserved to be beheaded and those who deserved to be executed by slow slicing.

Those who needed to peel the daylilies lined up to do so!

Such a scene is inherently extremely bloody.

But to most people, it was just so enjoyable!

Especially the people in Chang'an City depicted in the picture.

Of the people who survived the fire, only one in ten remained, and almost all of them were disfigured.

Watching these culprits repent before them, and then being beheaded or subjected to slow slicing in front of them.

Cheers resounded throughout the entire city of Chang'an at that moment.

Even Li Er was alarmed in the palace.

As he walked out of the palace gate, he could faintly hear the cheers of the people.

"Long live Emperor Taizong!"

Your Majesty the Emperor Taizong...

So, my posthumous temple name was Taizong?

That makes sense.

There is one thing he still cares about.

Just then, Yuchi Gong arrived with Guo Ziyi and others to report back.

"Your Majesty, of the five surnames and seven noble families, apart from the Wang family of Taiyuan who were executed on the spot, the rest have been brought to Chang'an, their crimes declared, and they will be executed in public!"

Outside the palace gate, Yuchi Gong knelt on one knee upon seeing Li Er.

The two people behind him made the same gesture, but neither of them spoke.

To everyone's surprise, Li Er did not look at Yuchi Gong, but instead looked at Guo Ziyi behind him.

"Minister Guo, I have something I would like to ask you."

"what?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"My temple name is Taizong, but what is my posthumous title? What posthumous title did later generations give me?"

It was almost as if they were asking outright, "Is my posthumous title Emperor Taizong Wen?"

Upon hearing this question, Guo Ziyi blinked, and cold sweat immediately streamed down his forehead.

He had a premonition that if he told the truth, Emperor Taizong would be furious.

However, there are many ways to verify a lie.

As if by telepathy, Geshuhan met his gaze.

The former nodded slowly.

This is something we absolutely cannot avoid or bypass!

Guo Ziyi steeled himself and said in a deep voice.

"His Majesty's posthumous title was originally Emperor Wen."

"Originally?"

Li Er suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Later, Emperor Gaozong changed his posthumous title to Emperor Wenwu Dasheng Daguangxiao."

Li Er: "?"

What the hell are you talking about?

Can you say that again?

Who changed it?!

He sat up in shock while dying of illness.

So it turns out my ministers all knew my intentions, but my descendants were oblivious!?

What kind of utter nonsense is this?!

What do I want? Haven't I made it clear enough?

Seeing that Li Er's face had visibly darkened, the three people in front of him dared not move.

Especially Yuchi Gong.

He understood best the extent of His Majesty's obsession with the posthumous title of Emperor Wen.

Even though he was still very robust, he had hinted to the civil officials more than once that he revered Emperor Wen of Han.

Even Yuchi Gong could understand his unspoken meaning: he wanted to be Emperor Wen of Tang!

I wonder which generation of unfilial descendants they belong to.

Who changed it?

"Emperor Gaozong, also known as His Majesty's ninth son."

Ninth son?

Li Zhi!?

How could it be Li Zhi?!

What about Chengqian?

"Why wasn't it Crown Prince Chengqian who succeeded to the throne? Why was it Zhinu!"

Li Er was furious.

If Guo Ziyi cannot explain himself clearly, the first thing he will do after leaving this challenge is to kill Li Zhi!

He obtained the throne by killing his brother and imprisoning his father, and he disdained to hide the means by which he came to power.

But he would never allow his son to rise to power using the same methods he had used!

He conquered the Tang dynasty, so he had every right to seize the throne!

But what about Li Zhi?

What does he have?

Sensing the murderous intent revealed by Li Er, Guo Ziyi quickly kowtowed.

"Crown Prince Li Chengqian plotted a rebellion and was deposed from his position as crown prince."

"what?"

Li Er was both shocked and furious.

The Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion?

Suddenly, he lost all interest in slowly rebuilding Chang'an and this era.

And just at that moment, the challenge was completed, and a screen appeared before him, displaying whether he should leave this world.

"From this day forward, taxes will be waived for three years to allow the people to rest and recuperate."

"From this day forward, the Tang Dynasty will no longer have any aristocratic families, and the selection of officials will be determined by the imperial examination."

"From this day forward, no one shall be allowed to lord it over the people in any way!"

After leaving these three decrees, the images in the sky slowly disappeared amidst the puzzled gazes of everyone, and were replaced by lines of text.

[Heavenly Khan, Li Shimin, has successfully completed the challenge.]

Reward: Fifty years of lifespan, and ten years of favorable weather for the country.

At Li Shimin's request, he and Empress Zhangsun were each granted a lifespan bonus of twenty-five years.

The assistant, Yuchi Gong, is rewarded with twenty-five years of lifespan!

Although the true golden age of the Tang Dynasty has not yet been revealed to everyone.

But most people knew that all that was needed next was to follow the established procedures, and that even without Li Er, the Tang Dynasty would still have reached its golden age!

At this critical juncture, it wouldn't be unreasonable for the immortal to have barely managed to complete the task for Li Er.

But you immortal, don't you know what we want to see?

“I’m not that old woman from the village entrance, but I’m just a little bit curious.”

"How will Li Er deal with Li Chengqian after he returns?"

Old Zhu was subtly trying to get some gossip.

"He is, after all, the Crown Prince, and those things have not yet happened. It would be somewhat inhumane to punish the Crown Prince for things that have not yet happened."

Zhao Kuangyin began to speculate again.

"If you knew in advance that someone was going to rebel, wouldn't you have taken precautions to prevent it from happening in the first place?"

Ying Zheng countered with a question.

Of course I will.

But what if this person were his own son, and the crown prince at that...?

Zhao Kuangyin was somewhat conflicted.

In the sky, it was as if the immortals knew what everyone wanted to see.

After the image of Li Er giving rewards disappeared, what followed was not a new round of review.

It was during the Zhenguan era of Emperor Taizong of Tang!

"I knew it! The immortal must be quite an interesting person; he knows what we want to see!"

"He must want to see it too!"

"When it comes to having fun, the more people the better!"

Liu Bang laughed.

Under the watchful eyes of all of them.

Li Chengqian knelt quietly before Li Er.

Only the two of them were in the study; even Empress Zhangsun was not allowed to enter.

"Chengqian, you should have seen my experiences in the challenges."

"I want to hear you say it yourself: will you really rebel? But you are already the Crown Prince, so why would you rebel?"

Seeing the fierce glint that occasionally flashed in Li Er's eyes, Li Chengqian, who was already somewhat nervous, suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Father, if I were to remain the Crown Prince, do you think I would rebel?"

“I know what happened at Xuanwu Gate that day. That morning, my mother stood guard at the gate with her sword, not allowing anyone to hurt me!”

"But what about you? You know perfectly well how you obtained your throne, yet you still dote on Li Tai so much. If I don't take action, am I supposed to wait for Li Tai to kill me?!"
