Li Xun had transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty five years ago. When word came that the father he had never seen was returning, he made careful preparations and waited for him, thinking that with plague sweeping the land in the third year of Zhenguan, he might as well grow old at home with his father. As luck would have it, Emperor Li Er, concerned for his people, traveled incognito and came to their place. Astonished by what he saw, he knocked and entered, only for Li Xun to mistake him for his father. It was an innocent mix-up, but the boy kept springing surprises. Even the imperial court couldn’t resolve the thorny plague and famine, yet he dealt with them both with ease. Well, when you think about it, being this boy’s father isn’t such a bad deal after all. What about the empire and its people? Li Xun figured his father had simply come home to visit, chat idly, and see the world. And what of the emperor’s virtues? Li Xun didn’t hold back when delivering his righteous verdict! Hearing this, Li Er was stunned. This boy was extraordinary!
