Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 2 Li Chengqian: Father, you are unfilial! [New book, please collect]

Served as crown prince for eighteen years? Failed rebellion? Returned to the throne?
what?
Isn't it me that's mentioned on this panel?

And one more thing.

My leg is not lame!
Li Chengqian was a little confused and couldn't help but shout in his mind: "System?"

[Here! ]

A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.

"What time is it now?"

【The 17th year of Zhenguan.】

"Who are you trying to fool? It's the ninth year of Wude!"

【Please refer to the time determined by the system.】

"I go!"

Li Chengqian had accepted the original owner's memories and naturally knew the current year and month. But this system was clearly too early.

So he couldn't help asking again: "Who am I?"

[Deposed Crown Prince, Li Chengqian.]

"No, are you mistaken? I'm only 8 years old now, not the 26-year-old deposed Crown Prince Li Chengqian!"

【After verification, it is confirmed that you are Li Chengqian.】

"Okay, okay, that's how it's going to work, right? I'm going to be crowned Crown Prince soon. Does that count as returning to the Crown Prince's position?"

【Doesn’t count. 】

"Why? Am I not the deposed crown prince? If the deposed crown prince is made crown prince, doesn't that count as returning to the crown prince's position?"

[After examination, it is confirmed that you are the deposed crown prince.]

"I"

【Depose the Crown Prince.】

"Okay, we've all learned how to answer quickly."

Li Chengqian raised his hand to support his forehead, not knowing whether to say that this system was intelligent or rigid.

It is obviously reasonable, but the result is unreasonable. Why is that?
Could it be that my soul and body don't match, causing a system bug?!

"Can I not strike back?"

[The counterattack system has been activated. Please return to the position of Crown Prince. Reward: Taixuan Health Preservation Sutra, which can cure lameness.]

"I want to change my mission!"

[Once a system task is released, it cannot be changed.]

"What a lousy mission! It's impossible to complete!"

[Host, please complete this as soon as possible. Your life span is running out. Otherwise, you will not be able to change your fate!]

"Fuck!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but swear, which startled Empress Changsun next to him.

"Cheng Qian, what's wrong with you?"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian in surprise and doubt.

"Mother, I."

Li Chengqian was about to ask Empress Changsun for help when a mechanical voice sounded in his mind again.

[Host please complete the task alone and do not discuss the task content with others. ]

Li Chengqian was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he had to complete this system task.

Because he had already died once and didn't want to die a second time.

"Cheng Qian, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Li Chengqian hesitated to speak, Empress Changsun's heart was in her throat.

"It's okay, mother. I'm a little tired and want to sleep some more."

Faced with Empress Changsun's concerned questioning, Li Chengqian could only pretend to be strong.

"Then, then you go to sleep." Empress Changsun said hesitantly.

Somehow, she suddenly felt that her eldest son was a little different from before.

The next morning, it was just dawn.

Li Chengqian's uncle, Zhangsun Wuji, came and said he wanted to take Li Chengqian to Xiande Hall.

In fact, there is no need to guess, as Li Shimin was most likely preparing to enthrone him as the crown prince.

However, Li Chengqian still hasn't figured out how to complete the system task.

Because this system is completely illogical.

And there may be bugs.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Chengqian finally couldn't help but said to Changsun Wuji: "Uncle, can I not go?" Changsun Wuji directly refused: "No!"

This is the most important link for their Changsun family. Only when a child of the Changsun lineage becomes the crown prince can their Changsun family prosper along with the country.

"But I"

Li Chengqian originally wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but Changsun Wuji grabbed his arm and said earnestly: "Chengqian, today is the most important day for you, and it is also the day your mother looks forward to the most. You don't want to disappoint your mother, do you?"

"I"

Li Chengqian opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.

He knew that he couldn't hide away, so he had to go ahead with it.

However, as soon as they arrived at the front yard of Xiande Hall in the Eastern Palace, a voice of advice came from inside.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus has abdicated for many days, yet he still resides in Taiji Palace. I wonder if this is inappropriate."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian frowned slightly, then turned to look at Zhangsun Wuji and said, "Uncle, are they going to chase Grandpa Emperor away?"

"Uh"

Zhang Sun Wuji's mouth twitched, feeling awkward and not knowing what to say. He could only smile and change the subject, saying, "Cheng Qian, wait a moment. Let your uncle go in and take a look. You stay here and wait obediently for His Majesty to summon you."

"Oh fine."

Li Chengqian responded honestly, and then watched Changsun Wuji enter the hall.

Li Shimin inside said calmly, "It's not that I haven't thought about this matter, but I haven't thought it through yet. Now that it's been brought up, you can discuss it!"

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes.

It would be strange if you haven't thought about it. You must have wanted to move to Taiji Palace for a long time, right?

The terrain there is low, and it gets cold and damp in winter. What's good about it!
I only heard a burst of music in the hall.

"Your Majesty, please be cautious about the relocation of His Majesty the Retired Emperor!"

"Then, what is the Emperor's wish?"

"I can ask the Emperor's wishes on your behalf."

"That's very good. But if His Majesty the Emperor wishes to relocate, where should he relocate?"

"Your Majesty, I think Hongyi Palace is quite good!"

"Well, Hongyi Palace is really nice!"

His Majesty Li Er smiled and nodded, "But the name must be changed. Let's call it Da'an Palace, so His Majesty the Retired Emperor can live out his remaining years in Da'an Palace."

“Father——!”

Before Li Shimin could finish his words, a shout came from outside the door.

The ministers were surprised and looked in the direction of the voice.

Li Chengqian stumbled in, looking furious.

"Cheng Qian, don't be rude!"

Changsun Wuji was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly wanted to stand up to stop Li Chengqian.

But Li Shimin said with some displeasure: "Why are you here without being summoned?"

"Your son has something to say!"

"A child." Li Shimin flatly refused: "We are in court now. If you have anything to say, please speak later!"

"What's wrong with the child? Gan Luo was twelve when he was sent as an envoy to the State of Zhao. I am already eight years old, two years older than Confucius' teacher Xiang Tuo!"

"you!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, as if he had not expected him to use these people to refute him, so he frowned and said, "Go ahead!"

"Father, you just said you would ask the Grand Emperor's wishes, and now you've even changed the name of the palace. You're being unfilial!"

"Rebel!"

His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he slammed the dragon table and said, "Who told you to talk nonsense here?!"

"His Majesty."

Just as Changsun Wuji was about to open his mouth, Li Shimin gave him a cold look and he immediately fell silent.

Li Chengqian stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. The Tang Dynasty governs by filial piety, and my father has always taught me to be filial to my elders. How could I ignore his teachings and not dare to speak frankly and honestly because I'm afraid of the emperor's power?"

Wow!
The whole place was in an uproar!

Some people were stunned by this.

Some people felt that the plot was full of twists and turns, and their eyes lit up.

Li Chengqian's remarks were undoubtedly a compliment to Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin overjoyed and laughed out loud with his head raised.

"Hahaha--"

Laugh, laugh, but please don’t flip the table later, Li Chengqian prayed silently in his heart.
