Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty: I Hosted the Hongmen Banquet and Led an Army to Force the Palace from the Start

Li Ye transmigrated to the Tang dynasty and became the least favored prince. He was made Prince of Yan and supposedly sent to his fief, but in reality, he was exiled.

After three years of keeping a low profile, the only thing he received was an imperial decree summoning him back to the capital for a banquet.

A Hongmen banquet! His father, Emperor Li Longji, wanted to take his military authority and turn him into a prisoner for good!

At the Qionglin Banquet, danger lurked everywhere. Li Longji sat high on the throne, his gaze icy. “You unfilial son, surrender your command of the troops and I’ll spare your life!”

Li Ye laughed. He smashed his wine cup, and the Bureau of Investigation forces outside the hall immediately took control. Three hundred thousand iron cavalry from Youzhou, stationed beyond the city, were already aimed at the imperial capital!

“Father, do you like the grand gift your son has prepared?”

“It’s time this realm had a new way of doing things!”
