Great Tang: Imprisoned on Death Row, I Have the Crown Prince Begging to Become My Disciple

In the early years of the Zhenguan era, Shen Ce transmigrates to the Tang Dynasty, where a noble clan frames him and gets him condemned to death. His execution is set for three days later.

At this critical moment, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, disillusioned and caught in a succession crisis, drunkenly barges into the death row prison.

To protect himself, Shen Ce casually offers him a few pointers.

To his surprise, Li Chengqian is awestruck and drops to his knees, begging to become his apprentice!

From then on, the gloomy prison becomes the Tang Dynasty’s highest decision-making center.

“Master, the Prince of Wei is pressing us hard. What should we do?”

“Easy. Break his legs, then cut off the noble clans’ sources of income!”

“Master, the Turks keep raiding our borders. How should we deal with them?”

“Here are the plans for firearms. Go flatten the grasslands for me!”

One day, Li Shimin suspects that some great mastermind must be guiding the Crown Prince, so he disguises himself and sneaks into the prison to eavesdrop.

Hearing the “Art of the Emperor” and “Global Colonization Plan” from inside, Li Shimin feels his scalp tingle. He kicks open the cell door and exclaims:

“Master, your brilliance is extraordinary! How about you take the throne?”
