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

Li Jiancheng lost far too easily.

Many people agree with this.

As the crown prince, the power he could mobilize far exceeded that of Li Shimin, who was being suppressed!

If he makes the first move, Li Er will have absolutely no power to resist!

"Li Jiancheng's defeat was due to his indecisiveness and his underestimation of his enemy."

"Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. When facing an opponent like Li Er, no amount of caution is too much."

“Even a centipede with a hundred legs will not die easily, but Li Jiancheng thought that a mere five years would be enough to make the once high-spirited Li Er surrender.”

"He deserved to lose."

It seems that neither Li Yuan nor Li Jiancheng truly understood their sons or brothers.

They don't understand warfare, and they don't know how much perseverance is required to repeatedly win battles against overwhelming odds.

Li Jiancheng underestimated Li Er's abilities and his younger brother's ruthlessness, so he should swallow this bitter pill!

"Killing Li Jiancheng is one thing, but why not even spare his children?"

A certain coward from the Song Dynasty spoke up in protest.

"You good-for-nothing, shut up. If I put you between Li Er and Li Jiancheng, you probably wouldn't survive past the next day!"

"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze. You don't even understand such a simple principle. Calling you a good-for-nothing is an insult to good-for-nothings!"

Zhu Di said irritably.

He's familiar with this; he has experience with it.

Killing him would be best, but even if he isn't killed, he should be imprisoned for life and never see the light of day again.

Their situations are somewhat similar.

Zhu Yunwen and Li Jiancheng also had similarities.

If they manage to escape with their lives, regardless of whether they intend to make a comeback, countless ambitious individuals will want to seize control of them.

To control them is to control the great cause of the world, and to hold the key to a legitimate rebellion at any time!

And as soon as they raise an army, a bunch of pedantic people will respond.

Therefore, for such people, the wife and daughters can be spared, but the offspring must be completely eliminated, leaving them no chance whatsoever. This is the best choice and the greatest respect!

"What about taking over your brother's wife?"

Upon hearing this, not only Li Er, but many others blushed with embarrassment.

Boss Cao was the leader among them.

"This should be purely a personal hobby, and shouldn't be considered a stain on one's record, right?"

Before Li Er could explain, Cao Cao spoke first.

Liu Bang: “…”

Although he didn't say anything, his expression showed that he felt that great minds think alike!

Now it was Old Zhu's turn to be confused.

Why did these people suddenly start acting so inappropriately?

Taking over one's sister-in-law—isn't that a real stain on one's reputation?

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, don't make wild assumptions. Li Er's actions were purely for revenge, not the vulgar tastes you're thinking of."

Zhao Kuangyin also replied in a similarly irritable tone.

The immortals are still taking stock, and you guys are making suggestive remarks in such a serious atmosphere?

"revenge?"

"Then why did he only take his brother's wife as his mistress?"

Liu Bang didn't understand for a moment.

"Li Er's greatest hatred wasn't for his elder brother, but for Li Yuan and Li Yuanji!"

"The former turned around and gave the position of crown prince that he had promised to Li Jiancheng, while the latter often encouraged Li Jiancheng to kill him, and even personally poisoned him."

"Li Yuan was, after all, the retired emperor and also his father. He couldn't take revenge, so he had no choice but to vent his anger on Li Yuanji."

These are inferred from historical records.

But Zhao Kuangyin felt that he was probably right.

If Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had a truly bad relationship, Li Shimin would not have agreed to relinquish his military power and would have obediently been imprisoned in Chang'an.

And Li Jiancheng could not possibly have kept Li Shimin alive for so long!

At least before their conflict over the crown prince position, their relationship wasn't too bad!

"Is that so?"

The royal family is ruthless; Liu Bang understood this truth once he sat in that position.

However, he has not truly experienced scenes of fratricide or even fathers and sons turning against each other, and his understanding of these situations is not profound enough.

Having seen Li Er's experience, this matter has now truly been brought to the forefront.

"However, this is not a good thing. Perhaps it is because he set this precedent that future generations will follow suit."

"Li Chengqian almost imitated the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He had courage and determination, but unfortunately, Li Er was not Li Yuan."

Old Zhu didn't like this kind of imitation.

Of all the emperors throughout history, he was probably the one who valued family ties the most.

"In the end, it's because Li Chengqian wasn't ruthless enough. If I were him, I would..."

As Zhu Di was speaking eloquently, Empress Xu, who was standing beside him, suddenly reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, if you continue, I fear you will be whipped at some point."

Zhu Di, during the Hongwu era, trembled with fear.

Dude, can you please stop blurting out every little thing you hear?

Back then you were the emperor, now I'm just a punching bag!

Old Zhu's gaze was quite unfriendly.

Fortunately, Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di) stopped talking in time.

But anyone with eyes can tell what he's trying to say.

Li Er then fell into deep thought.

It's true that Chengqian wasn't ruthless enough.

If he had killed Li Tai and Li Zhi first and then forced the emperor to abdicate, just like the Xuanwu Gate Incident, that would have been a truly fatal blow.

For Li Shimin, the Xuanwu Gate Incident may have caused regrets and perhaps some guilt, but he did not see it as a stain on his reputation.

In his mind, the real stain was not before his ascension to the throne, but after it.

In his youth, Li Shimin was full of vigor and almost undefeated. Even when he suffered a loss, he would personally take revenge.

But shortly after he ascended the throne, the Khagan of Jieli led the allied forces of the Eastern Turks and the Tuli tribes in a series of victories.

In just a few days, they were attacked and forced to retreat to Jingyang, which was only forty miles away from Chang'an.

Yuchi Jingde was ordered to go and resist the Turks. Although he captured a Turkic general and killed thousands of enemies, his forces were insufficient and he was unable to stop the Turks' advance.

Even though Yuchi Jingde did his best during this process, he was still attacked by Jieli Khan and forced to retreat to the banks of the Wei River.

The city of Chang'an had only about 10,000 soldiers, and the people had just begun to recuperate, so they could not withstand any turmoil.

If we start a war now, we'll only be able to hold Chang'an!

The news sent shockwaves through the capital.

For Li Shimin, however, there was no option to remain behind closed doors.

If they remain secluded, all the cities and people surrounding Chang'an will be plundered by Jieli Khan.

The public sentiment that had just been restored would suffer another heavy blow, which he could not accept.

Furthermore, as the former General of the Heavenly Strategy and now the Emperor, Li Shimin's pride would not allow him to cower in the city when facing the Turks.

the most important point is.

He was eager to ascend the throne in order to prove to his father and to everyone in the world that he was far superior to Li Jiancheng as emperor.

Jieli Khan's rapid advance was like a resounding slap across his face!
