The good news: I've transmigrated into the crown prince of an empire.
I thought I had the perfect start, but then realized this transmigration was actually bad news!
Why? Because I'd transmigrated into Li Chengqian, the historical crown prince who was deposed and died a miserable death!
And this Li Chengqian had just broken his leg. Though the old saying about finding a kindred spirit even across the sea sprang to mind, my situation left no room to relax!
On one side, the peerless emperor Li Shimin bore down on me. On the other, Li Tai eyed the throne hungrily. All around me, petty schemers lurked and deadly traps waited at every turn.
Amid the storms of the Zhenguan era, with the crown prince's position on the verge of collapse, Li Chengqian threw back his head and laughed:
“What's there to fear? I studied Tang history inside out in my previous life, and I spent plenty of time rubbing shoulders with high society. The court's shifting currents and the devious hearts of men are all in the palm of my hand!”
Civil officials Chu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong, and Pei Xingjian all joined his ranks, while generals Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, and Li Ji became his sharpest weapons!
And with an extraordinary System at his side, he could build cities with concrete, expand farmland with improved crops, send ships across the seas, strengthen the army through ironworking, and enrich the nation with coal...
With the System's advanced technology and his foresight, he would defy fate, secure his place in the Eastern Palace, build a magnificent Tang empire far greater than its historical peak, ascend the throne, and rule over ten thousand miles of territory!
