Brother, Why Are You Rebelling?

On his way back to his fief after losing the succession battle, the Fourth Prince was ambushed by assassins sent by his elder brother, the newly appointed Crown Prince.

He was struck by an arrow and fell into the water.

Li Qi, who had transmigrated there by accident, took over his body.

After reaching the fief, Li Qi faced suspicion and chose to lie low.

He made cement, smelted steel, and improved firearms.

When he had grown rich enough to rival a nation, he chose to march back to Chang'an.

Returning to Chang'an with an army of a hundred thousand, he stood outside the city walls and pointed at his elder brother's nose.

"Elder Brother, why have you rebelled?"

"I am merely cleansing the court of corrupt officials."

He made his father the Retired Emperor.

And so began his path to supremacy.
