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

"Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"

Li Er felt the gap for the first time.

When he was challenging Liu Bang, he personally sought out and recruited all the talented individuals.

However, in the current challenge, Liu Bang simply spread his fame in various ways, and then countless people flocked to him.

This gap is too big!

"He was too good at manipulating people's hearts. He knew when and what to do to win people's hearts and spread his name to the greatest extent."

Liu Bang's unique insight allowed him to see through most people's true nature immediately.

Treating the root cause is always the most effective method.

Before the challenge began, Liu Bang was worried that Li Er's personal brilliance was too dazzling. If the people around him were all mediocre, then it would be quite difficult for him to complete the challenge.

Now it seems that in Li Er's challenge, he and the twenty-four meritorious officials of Yunyan Pavilion are actually more compatible as ruler and subject.

After all, Li Er's ability to lead troops and deploy troops was too formidable. With such a dazzling brilliance around him, most people would hardly have the opportunity to demonstrate their own strength.

Instead, it was Liu Bang who was top-notch at recognizing and employing people, always able to send the right people to do the right things.

Beyond the sky.

Many people behind Li Er were staring at the scene in the sky, speechless with astonishment.

Liu Bang had never seen them before, nor had he ever heard their stories.

However, in the short period of time after the challenge began, I was able to get a clear understanding of the abilities of most people.

From the moment he began his rebellion, he meticulously planned every single thing, and every task he assigned was within the capabilities of the person he was in charge of!

This time, he deviated from his usual practice and did not personally lead the army as he did during the Chu-Han Contention.

Because it is not needed.

He had a multitude of strategists and generals under his command.

Even if a major event occurred, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and others would discuss and formulate a general framework before handing it over to Liu Bang for decision-making.

He directly entrusted the task of conquering cities and seizing territories to Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and others.

Afterwards, with the successive surrender of Yuchi Gong, Li Jing, and others, Liu Bang's tasks became much simpler.

internal affairs!

In Li Er's past, most of the internal affairs were handled by Li Jiancheng, but now they are firmly in Liu Bang's hands.

Even shortly after Li Yuan became emperor, the power to appoint and dismiss officials had already fallen into the hands of Liu Bang.

Aside from the title of emperor, this Emperor Gaozu of Tang had been completely sidelined without anyone realizing it.

"He was sidelined so quickly? It seems Li Yuan was able to become emperor because his son was Li Er!"

Old Zhu couldn't help but complain about this situation.

"What kind of talk is that!"

"Why don't you take a look at who's participating in the challenge in the sky? Why don't you think carefully about who these people I'm facing are?!"

Li Yuan was also watching the progress of the challenge on the sky.

He believed that his abilities were not bad, and that while Li Er was showing his talent, the Li clan under his control also had the strength to contend for the world.

Even without Li Er, no matter how incompetent he was, he could still have easily become a regional warlord.

Among all the emperors throughout history, his self-assessment was that he was neither the best nor the worst.

Even if he can't be called a wise ruler, he certainly can't be considered a foolish one.

Everyone else thought he was a good-for-nothing, and this opinion made him feel very wronged.

Li Er's abilities are evident to all; he almost single-handedly swept across the world. It is only natural that he was unable to control the situation.

If you put someone else in charge, who could be confident of keeping Li Er in check?

As for the ridicule he's receiving for the challenge in the sky, he feels even more wronged.

During the challenge just now, everyone watched as Liu Bang eliminated dissidents and quietly planted his own people inside.

Even Li Yuan, looking at all this from God's perspective, couldn't find any flaws.

In the face of challenges, everything Liu Bang did and every step he took was reasonable and logical, leaving Liu Bang with no room for rebuttal.

Only at the very end did he suddenly realize that only Liu Bang's voice remained in the court.

Although it was Li Yuan who declared himself emperor, all the civil and military officials with any real power became Liu Bang's confidants.

Let alone deposing or establishing a new crown prince, Li Yuan felt that under these circumstances, even the timing of the abdication was not something he could decide.

Are you going to mock my incompetence because of this challenge?

What a joke!

"Old Zhu, you're being a bit too harsh."

Li Er couldn't help but stand up and speak a fair word.

He's still my biological father, so I have to show him some respect in front of outsiders.

Moreover, in his view, Li Yuan did not make any mistakes in this challenge.

He simply acted as emperor, handled the trivial matters of state as usual, and was eventually sidelined as usual.

"The Liu family members are like born emperors, and Liu Bang is the best among them. In terms of domestic affairs alone, who dares to say that they are his match?"

Regardless of whether Li Yuan was right or wrong in normal history, at least in this challenge, Zhao Kuangyin did not think Li Yuan could do anything.

Everyone has seen Liu Bang's performance.

Purely a born domestic affairs machine.

Every step he took was so deliberate that it left everyone speechless.

It's perfectly normal for Li Yuan to be manipulated by an opponent of this caliber.

After reading what these people said, Old Zhu nodded thoughtfully.

That makes some sense.

After all, Li Yuan's abilities were limited; he was more than mediocre. Expecting him to deal with emperors like Li Er and Liu Bang, who were both top-notch in both civil administration and military affairs, would be somewhat unrealistic.

"To be honest, I don't think Li Yuan has any major problems. It's just that sometimes he doesn't recognize his own limitations."

Zhu Di thought for a moment and said.

"Just like when my father was alive, I dared not have the slightest thought of usurping the throne, because I knew that this world was won by my father, and he could give it to whomever he wanted!"

"But Li Yuan obviously couldn't understand it."

"This empire was all conquered by Li Er, so how could the position of crown prince be given to whomever Li Yuan wanted?"

"Li Jiancheng is the same. Li Yuan dared to give him the position of crown prince, and he actually dared to sit on it!"

Li Yuan: "..."

I thank you so much!

He actually struggled with the decision of whether to appoint the eldest son or the most virtuous son for a long time.

But as Zhu Di said, the reason for his dilemma might be that he didn't fully understand himself.

Because he chose to establish primogeniture, Li Er used the Xuanwu Gate Succession Law to make himself the eldest legitimate son.

"Father, I advise you not to think so much. If you had chosen to make me the crown prince from the beginning, my elder brother would most likely not have been at peace either. As the eldest son, would he just watch the cooked duck fly away?"

"Just watch, even in this challenge, when he's completely sidelined by Liu Bang, he'll still find his own way to court death!"
