After transmigrating to the Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan assumes his good-for-nothing father was a former retainer of the Hidden Crown Prince. To save his own life, he grabs his father and says, “Dad! Li Er took the throne unjustly. Let’s rebel against him! You should be the emperor!”
The newly enthroned Li Shimin is dumbfounded. “You unfilial brat! You want to rebel against your own father?”
To raise funds for the rebellion, Li Kuan unveils snow-white salt, potatoes that yield a thousand catties per mu, movable-type printing, and more…
Wiping his sweat, Li Shimin accepts it all with tears in his eyes. “Son, I’ll hold on to this ‘military funding’ for you. As for the rebellion… let’s discuss it later.”
Years later, Li Kuan looks at his father on the dragon throne and falls into deep thought. “Dad, what happened to our promised rebellion? How did I end up as Crown Prince?”
