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

Those who receive orders from heaven will live long and prosperous lives.

These eight words are enough to drive anyone crazy.

Moreover, for Li Jiancheng, he was Li Yuan's eldest son, and it was both reasonable and legal for him to inherit the throne.

Let alone Li Jiancheng, anyone in his position would never have given up so easily.

Unfortunately, whether in the grand scheme of history or in the face of current challenges, he is destined to fail.

Even on the original trajectory of development, Li Er still had some consideration for brotherhood, and he managed to stay trapped in Chang'an for five years without any worries.

In the challenges that are currently underway, Liu Bang is aware of all the causes and effects.

Would he give Li Jiancheng even the slightest chance?

"Then we have a question: in this challenge, even Li Yuan has been sidelined, and everyone in the court is loyal to Liu Bang. What can Li Jiancheng use to court death?"

Old Zhu asked with great interest.

There are prerequisites for wanting to commit such a serious crime.

You need someone to be loyal to you, or at least to see a glimmer of hope, to give someone the courage to fight to the death.

Although Li Jiancheng was not as good as Li Er, he was not a fool and would not recklessly risk his life.

"I reckon they're keeping assassins around so they can ambush and kill you on your way to court sometime."

"Or, under the pretext of inviting Liu Bang to drink, they might smash the wine cup, and dozens of axemen would rush up and chop him into mincemeat."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment and said.

Only such methods could enable Li Jiancheng to turn the tide under such dire circumstances.

If he had truly seized such an opportunity, Liu Bang, unlike Xiang Yu, would have been certain to die, lacking the bravery to fight on foot and kill hundreds of enemies.

"But the problem is, Emperor Gaozu is not such a careless person. Even if it were his own brother, let alone Li Jiancheng, who was a fake brother, he would still settle accounts clearly. Would he give such a big loophole?"

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, denying the possibility that Zhao Kuangyin had mentioned.

That was our great-grandfather!

A man who would abandon his parents, wife and children in a critical moment, would suddenly have a change of heart and be willing to sit and drink with Li Jiancheng?

Either the sun rises in the west, or Liu Bang must be the one lying in ambush with executioners!

"Based on my understanding of that elder brother, he will definitely find an opportunity to make a move, but in the end, he will be the one who dies."

Li Er chuckled dismissively.

No one refuted him, because the images that would appear on the sky next would prove him right.

Li Jiancheng was even more eager to take on the challenge than in the original history.

Under Li Yuanji's instigation and urging, even before Dou Jiande and others had been completely pacified, he couldn't wait to invite Liu Bang to drink together.

To dispel Liu Bang's suspicions, they deliberately chose to hold the drinking ceremony inside the palace.

As things gradually unfolded in a familiar direction, Zhao Kuangyin's face darkened.

Inside the palace, a late-night invitation to drink.

This is just a rip-off of "The Shadow of the Candle and the Sound of the Axe"!

"Zhao Da, does this situation seem familiar?"

Old Zhu almost burst out laughing.

Li Jiancheng is truly a talented individual!

If it were anyone else, they might have fallen for his tricks, just like Zhao Kuangyin!

Inside the palace, everyone would let their guard down.

Who would have thought that axemen would be lying in ambush under such circumstances?

"It's a pity he picked the wrong person. Even Xiang Yu's Feast at Hongmen couldn't kill Liu Bang, let alone his naive little tricks?"

The images on the sky are mostly from Liu Bang's perspective.

Everyone watched helplessly as Liu Bang planted axemen and eliminated the assassins that Li Jiancheng had painstakingly raised.

It's a pity that Li Jiancheng secretly raised only over fifty assassins, but they were all slaughtered before they could be put to use.

What followed was quite dramatic.

After entering the palace late at night, Liu Bang sat casually next to Li Jiancheng, drinking one cup of wine after another.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Jiancheng smashed three or four cups in succession, but there was no sound at all.

It's not hard to tell from the footage that he was somewhat questioning the meaning of life.

"You and I……"

After two more cups were smashed, still no one rushed in. Li Jiancheng wasn't stupid; he guessed what was going on.

"Me what? You what?"

Liu Bang casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve and slowly stood up.

"You want to know where those fifty axemen who were lying in ambush went, right?"

"I killed him, and dumped his body in your palace. I'll send him to reunite with them soon."

"We're brothers after all. To avoid you leaving alone, I've not only arranged for your trusted bodyguards to accompany you, but also for Li Yuanji to do the same. Isn't that generous enough?"

He clapped his hands, and suddenly more than ten fully armored generals rushed out of the hall. The leader grabbed Li Yuanji by the neck as if he were a chick and led him in.

"Your Highness, this brat actually wants to run away, but he doesn't know that the palace is now full of our people. Even if his father gave him two more legs, he still couldn't escape!"

“Well done, but after tonight, you shall all address him as Your Majesty.”

"The fact that he was able to set up such a scheme in the palace means that my good father was also involved, or at least tacitly approved of it."

"Since he doesn't want to sit on the throne, I have no choice but to reluctantly sit on it for him."

"Where is the yellow robe? Changsun Wuji, don't tell me you weren't prepared."

Liu Bang said calmly.

The next moment, a warm robe was draped over her shoulders.

"Your Majesty is joking. We have already made preparations for such a small matter. It is indeed cool, and Your Majesty should wear an extra layer of clothing."

Li Jiancheng: "?"

He felt like his mind was going blank.

It was clearly a trap he set for Liu Bang tonight, and even his father had agreed to it.

But how did things turn out like this?

Looking at Liu Bang, who was now adorned in a yellow robe, he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

Even if he were to die, he still couldn't understand how someone dared to do that!

"Your Majesty, what should we do with these two people? And what about that person in the palace... how should we settle her?"

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so people who had entered all revealed a fierce glint in their eyes.

If Liu Bang gave an order, news would spread the next day that the emperor and his eldest son would die suddenly, and the throne would be directly changed.

"Well……"

Liu Bang pondered for a moment.

"Tonight, Li Jiancheng led assassins to attempt to assassinate my father, intending to usurp the throne. I discovered their plot, captured them, and executed them on the spot."

"My father is so frightened that he is no longer able to handle state affairs and must abdicate in favor of me."

"After declining the throne three times, I have no choice but to ascend it, as the country cannot be without a ruler for even a day."

Everyone inside and outside the canopy: "..."

"Good heavens, I truly never expected that Emperor Gaozu of Han would be so blatant!"

Li Er sprayed tea onto Changsun Wuji's face.

"We didn't understand why Emperor Gaozu wanted to keep the appointment, but we never expected that he wanted to solve everything once and for all!"

Old Zhu was also dumbfounded.

Can it still be so neat?

"This... you really don't care about your reputation at all?"
