I Am the Eldest Legitimate Son of the Tang Dynasty and the Pirate King

In the fourteenth year of Daye, the first year of Wude, in the fifth month, Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang, declared himself emperor in Chang'an.

On the seventh day of the sixth month, Li Shimin was made Prince of Qin, and the Lady Changsun was named Princess of Qin.

That same year, Li Shimin and the Lady Changsun's first son, Li Wen, was born. But because he was premature, he was barely breathing at birth and seemed unlikely to survive.

As it happened, the Red-Bearded Wanderer came to visit and used his vital energy to keep the child alive.

But the Red-Bearded Wanderer was eager to sail overseas, and Li Wen could not be parted from him. So the Prince of Qin announced that Li Wen had drowned, and the Red-Bearded Wanderer took him across the sea.

Many years later, a small kingdom called Fuyu rose to power!

Li Er: "Wen'er, why don't you become the Crown Prince of Great Tang?"

No!

Li Chengqian: "That's right, big brother. You're the only one fit to be Crown Prince!"

I'm not taking the job!

Zhang Zhongjian: "Son, we've conquered Dongying. Where should we seize next?"

The whole world!
