Great Tang: I've Come Clean, I'm Not Taking the Crown Prince's Throne!

His soul transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty, where he became Crown Prince Li Chengqian. Knowing the miserable fate awaiting him, he submitted his resignation to Li Shimin, the greatest emperor in history, in front of the entire court. “Father, I don’t want to be Crown Prince anymore!” His words sent shockwaves through the court, and Li Shimin was stunned on the spot. He had wanted to lie flat and become a lazy vassal prince who did nothing but eat and wait to die, far from the struggles of court politics, and enjoy a carefree life. But his abilities wouldn’t let him! A severe drought in the north, with refugees everywhere? He casually suggested, “How about trying sweet potatoes and potatoes?” Soon the empire’s granaries were full. The Turks invaded and the border was in peril? Reluctantly, he offered a strategy of “fortresses, trenches, and guerrilla warfare,” beating Khan Jieli until he was crying for his parents. The treasury was empty, and everything needed rebuilding? He sighed. “Well, then, let’s set up state-run maritime trade and a national bank.” Before long, the once good-for-nothing Crown Prince had become a sage revered by everyone in the Tang Dynasty. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said, “Your Highness has such foresight. We’re no match for you!” Wei Zheng declared, “Anyone who dares say a single bad word about the Crown Prince, I’ll be the first to tear them apart!” Watching the Tang Dynasty grow stronger by the day, Li Shimin held the imperial seal in his hands, tears streaming down his face. “My son Chengqian, I’m begging you. Come back and inherit the throne!” Li Chengqian was sunbathing in his fief with a beautiful woman in his arms. He looked helpless. “I really... just want to be a lazy fish!”
