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

Chapter 8 Side Quests [New Book, Please Collect]

"system."

When he returned to the room, it was already late at night and everyone was asleep. Before Li Chengqian even lay down on the bed, he couldn't wait to call up the system interface.

[The counterattack system has been activated. Please return to the position of Crown Prince and you will be rewarded with the Taixuan Health Sutra, which can cure lameness.]

Li Chengqian raised his hand to support his forehead and wanted to ask the system, which eye of it saw that his leg was lame?
However, when he thought of Empress Changsun, he suppressed his urge to complain and said, "Can this Taixuan Health Preservation Sutra only cure lameness? Can it prolong life, protect against all diseases, or even achieve immortality?"

It cannot make people immortal.

Does that mean you can prolong your life and be immune to all diseases? !

Li Chengqian was delighted and asked, "Besides me, can anyone else practice the Taixuan Health Preservation Sutra?"

[All the rewards from the system are at the host's disposal. Please complete the task as soon as possible.]

How fast is as soon as possible?
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Is there a time limit for system tasks?"

[Yes! Based on the host's lifespan, it took about eight months from the time the host was deposed as crown prince to his death, so the time limit for the system task is also eight months.]

"Fuck!"

Li Chengqian jumped up from the bed and said, "Returning to the throne of Crown Prince in eight months? How is that possible? Are you mistaken?"

【Please refer to the time limit of the system task. 】

"Uh"

It turned out that the 26-year-old deposed Crown Prince Li Chengqian only had eight months to live.

8-year-old Li Chengqian expressed his satisfaction.

Because for him, it would take eight months to return to the throne of the crown prince. Unless Emperor Li II had lost his memory, it would be absolutely impossible to reinstate the crown prince in such a short time.

So this mission, no matter how you look at it, is a death situation.

After a brief silence, Li Chengqian said indignantly, "What good will it do to the system if I die?"

[There's no benefit. If you die, the system will look for the next host.]

"Since the system can find the next host, it must have had a host before. Can you tell me how the previous host did it?"

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

Li Chengqian's forehead was instantly covered with black lines, and he couldn't help but complain: "Are you human?"

[I am not human. I am a system derived from the Heavenly Dao Program. Through the Heavenly Dao Program, I can answer various questions from the host and communicate.]

Li Chengqian's eyes rolled: "Then let me discuss with you, why is it not considered completing the task alone? You are not a human!"

【.】

"You're not a human being, so if I negotiate with you, it doesn't count as breaking the rules, don't you think?"

【.】

"Hey, talk!"

[The system is in chaos, and a bug has appeared in the Tiandao program]

【The system is restarting.】

[Restart failed, contacting manual customer service]

【Customer service is busy】

"Busy your uncle! Hurry up and speak to me! Otherwise, I will complain to you in a minute!"

[The host's emotions are fluctuating significantly. Activate a side quest to accelerate your return to the crown prince's position. Side quest 1: Kill Li Tai, kill Li Zhi, and bring their heads to Li Shimin.]

hiss!
Li Chengqian couldn't help but take a breath.

It feels so exciting!

Is this accelerating his return to the throne? This is accelerating his death!
Do you think Li Shimin only has these two sons?
Besides, Li Zhi wasn't even born yet! Why would we kill him?
Li Chengqian didn't know how to complain about this side quest. It was obviously an impossible task.

So, he couldn't help but tentatively ask the system: "Can I give up this side quest?"

[The side quest can be abandoned. Does the host need to release a new side quest?] Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Release a new side quest!"

[Side Quest 2: After the host was deposed as the crown prince, he stayed in Chang'an for five months. During these five months, the host has been reflecting on what went wrong?

At this time, the host thought of your uncle, Zhangsun Wuji. Since the death of Empress Zhangsun, your relationship has gradually drifted apart, and eventually the uncle and nephew became alienated.

Please re-establish contact with Zhangsun Wuji, reward: 100 gold. 】

When Li Chengqian saw this side quest, he was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, why didn’t I think of it?

If we were to say who had the greatest influence on Li Shimin, it would definitely be Zhangsun Wuji.

This man, who had followed Li Shimin in his campaigns since childhood, was not only the first of the twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion, but also the biological brother of Empress Changsun.

Even Li Shimin once praised him in front of all the civil and military officials in the court: "Wu Ji is loyal to me. I have the world because of his efforts."

This shows the status of Changsun Wuji in Li Shimin's heart.

So why did Zhangsun Wuji support Li Zhi to become emperor?

Wasn't it just that Li Chengqian had distanced himself from him? Furthermore, Li Chengqian had grown stronger and was not as easy to control as the young Li Zhi!
Although the request to depose the crown prince might have disappointed Changsun Wuji, the degree of disappointment was definitely not to the extent of causing estrangement between uncle and nephew.

Therefore, asking him to help him fight for the opportunity to reinstate the crown prince might be a good idea.

As for the 100 gold reward, it's not bad.

Now is the time when money is needed, so it is necessary to use it to build relationships.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian smiled and then fell into a good sleep.

And at the same time.

Li Tai, who came back from Xiande Hall, didn't even have dinner.

At this moment, I am lying in bed tossing and turning.

Originally, he was quite happy that Li Shimin abolished Li Chengqian's position as crown prince, but when he heard Li Shimin's statement that he would not appoint a crown prince for ten years, he became extremely depressed.

In ten years, there are too many variables.

What should I do if my father reinstates my brother as the crown prince?
No!

I must never let this happen!

Didn't the emperor find a great scholar for me some time ago? How about I ask him for help?

The country cannot be without a crown prince for a day!
Thinking of this, the little fat boy immediately turned over and got up, ready to review his lessons to impress the great teacher.

the other side.

Empress Zhangsun leaned gently in the arms of His Majesty Li Er and said with a sigh, "Chengqian has grown up and has his own ideas."

"Hmph, I have an idea, but it doesn't seem like me." Li Shimin was obviously still dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's request to depose the crown prince.

"Your Majesty has spent his entire life on the battlefield, and few ministers in the court dare to contradict you. Cheng Qian's performance is truly remarkable. After all, he is only an eight-year-old child."

Empress Changsun had no complaints about Li Chengqian's request to depose the crown prince, and was very pleased that Li Chengqian wanted to regain the position through his own efforts.

But then Li Shimin angrily said, "An eight-year-old child wouldn't be as cunning as him. He even deposed and then reinstated the crown prince. Does he really think that appointing a crown prince in the Tang Dynasty is a joke?"

"Then there will be no crown prince?"

"Let's talk about it later. This matter has caused quite a stir, and it's not appropriate to cause more trouble."

Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun's eyes immediately became charming.

Seeing this, His Majesty Li Er's old face flushed, and he couldn't help but feel dry in his mouth: "Guanyin, I just went to bed. I am a little tired. Besides, the Turks."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a delicate hand reaching in as if taking something from a bag, and his whole body trembled.

"I also have Xianbei blood, Your Majesty, please drive out the Tartars. Come on!"

"No, Queen, you... um."

The strong dragon could not suppress the tongue, and there was no conversation all night.
