Li Shimin: "You traitor! Can't you learn from your elder brother and have the world in mind?!"
Li Ke: "Father, you see that my eldest brother has gone bald. It is enough for me to have a "free and happy" mind. I will also help you make the world more prosperous so that you can have a place to enjoy your retirement. Isn't this filial piety more real?"
He just wanted to make enough money to bask in the sunshine in Lingnan, but unknowingly:
Use cheap new paper to break the family's monopoly on knowledge.
Use the assembly line workshop to make a thousand-year-old family doubt their life.
Using ideas that span the ages, he "fooled" all the princes and sisters into becoming navigators, justices, and scientific madmen...
Many years later, looking at the prosperous Chang'an where all the nations came to visit and the steam roared, Li Ke, who was revered as the "Xiaoyao King", lay on the recliner of his own invention and shouted out his soul cry to Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who urged him to succeed:
"I just want to be a good-for-nothing prince in peace, but you have to force me to fight!"
