Great Tang: Li Er Can Hear My Inner Thoughts

I am Li Shimin. I have just ascended the throne, with powerful clans hemming me in at home and the Turks knocking at the border gates. I am walking on thin ice.

I believed that founding a golden age would require walking on thin ice and exhausting myself to the limit.

That was until the day I found a baby in the snow.

[So this is Li Er? Tsk, look at that scraggly beard. He doesn't look like an emperor for the ages at all.]

I can hear his thoughts!

The court officials all think I dote on my youngest son, since I take him along when reviewing memorials and touring the realm.

Only I know that the baby in my arms isn't an infant, but a heaven-sent treasure who can foresee the future and see through all things!

If my Prince An says someone is loyal, I'll put them to good use. If he says disaster will strike somewhere, I'll prepare in advance. If he says a policy can strengthen the nation, I'll implement it without hesitation!

With a prodigy like him, how could we fail to build a golden age? I will quietly give the Great Tang, where all nations come to pay court, another push!
