The Rebellious Son of Zhenguan: My Father Is Li Shimin?!

One moment, Li Fan is a burned-out engineer; the next, he has become Li Ke, the least favored son of Emperor Taizong, Li Shimin, during the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty!   His mother is a princess of the previous dynasty, making his status awkward, and every step at court is fraught with danger. At any moment, he could become a casualty of political infighting.   Just as despair sets in, the [Tang Dynasty National Fortune System] activates!   “Ding! Host has improved the curved-beam plow. Tang grain production is expected to rise. Reward: 10,000 National Fortune points, Host’s strength +10!”  “Ding! Host has presented a recipe for cement. Chang’an’s defenses are now impregnable. Reward: 50,000 National Fortune points, unlocked [God-Tier Combat Skills]!”  “Ding! Host has crushed the Turks and glorified our nation. Reward: 1,000,000 National Fortune points, unlocked [Modern Military Industry Technology Tree]!”   When the nation prospers, I prosper; when the nation falls, I perish!   To survive, and to build an age of prosperity that draws every nation to pay tribute, Li Ke has decided: he will take charge of this Tang Dynasty!   Take on the great clans, consolidate imperial power, build infrastructure, and unleash technological advances!   Li Shimin: “You little brat! You emptied my treasury again? Fine. As long as you can conquer that territory, use the imperial treasury as you please!”   Wei Zheng: “Though His Highness acts without restraint, he does so for the nation and its people. I am sincerely convinced!”   Years later, Li Ke stands atop the world, with an unstoppable steel army behind him and envoys from every nation before him.   He looks back toward Chang’an and smiles calmly. “Father, this age of prosperity is what you wished for, and what I built!”
