Great Tang: I Teach Classes in the Eastern Palace, and Li Shimin Sits In

In the sixteenth year of the Zhenguan era, undercurrents stirred throughout the Tang Dynasty. Crown Prince Li Chengqian, crippled by a leg ailment and fallen into despair, plotted rebellion. His deposition seemed imminent. Chu Kuang transmigrated into the body of a low-ranking official in the Eastern Palace and bound himself to the “Die to Become a Sage” System. If the emperor executed him, he would ascend on the spot and return to the modern world as a billionaire! Desperate to die, Chu Kuang kicked open the Eastern Palace gates and cursed Li Chengqian to his face: “Ever heard of crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang yourself? Dare you bring up the Xuanwu Gate incident?” “Cry! Go cry in the Taiji Palace! If you cry hard enough, His Majesty won't know what to do with you!” Chu Kuang was patiently teaching the crown prince how to use “the art of imperial rule” against Li Shimin, happily waiting to be executed. What he didn't know was that the Tang emperor, Li Shimin, was hiding in a secret passage in the Eastern Palace, listening in with his heart pounding! Far from being angry, Li Shimin was moved to tears: “Every word this man says strikes right at my weak spots. Chu Kuang truly understands me!” “With an imperial tutor like him, I have nothing to fear for the Tang Dynasty!” Months later, Chu Kuang watched the crown prince act decisively, manipulating the court officials as if they were in the palm of his hand. Meanwhile, Li Shimin kept promoting and ennobling Chu Kuang, refusing to execute him no matter what. Chu Kuang finally broke down. “Your Majesty, I beg you, just execute me! The crown prince has already stripped you of all your power!”
