Prince Li You of the Great Tang Dynasty begs the noble families to their deaths!

Li You time-traveled.

The original owner was also named Li You, the fifth son of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and was enfeoffed as the Prince of Qi.

In March of the seventeenth year of the Zhenguan era (643 AD), Li You formally launched a rebellion.

The people near Qizhou were driven into the city by the royal guards. A terrible riot was about to begin.

……

The Prince of Qi's Mansion.

Looking at the ancient hunks around him, all drunk and staggering, Li You felt a mix of emotions.

He was drinking with some of his buddies after get off work when he accidentally got too drunk.

With a snap of his eyes, he found himself transported to the Tang Dynasty.

Dr. Wang from the hepatology department once advised me that if young people have nothing to do, they should date first and not always go out drinking heavily. Why didn't I listen to him?

So what if I time-traveled? At least I get a second chance at life.

The problem is that Li You, the Prince of Qi of the Tang Dynasty who shares the same name as him, is not a smart man.

This child has no choice but to rebel instead of enjoying wealth and honor!

The man that Prince Qi was about to face was Li Shimin, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

This person's literary and military talents would rank among the top five in the entire five-thousand-year history of China.

Li You is a history enthusiast and a passionate history buff.

Li You was actually quite interested in the Qi King who shared the same name as him in history.

There is not much historical material about him, but it does portray him as a completely foolish rebel king.

"...You then surrendered and was captured, and all the remaining accomplices were executed. Xingmin escorted You to the capital, where he was given death in the inner palace and demoted to commoner status. His fiefdom was abolished. He was later buried with the rites due to a duke."

This passage translates to: Li You surrendered without resistance, and all his associates were executed. Du Xingmin escorted him to Chang'an, where he was demoted to commoner status and given a death sentence. He was eventually buried with the rites due to a duke.

Thinking of this, Li You scratched his head anxiously.

No, I really don't want to be sentenced to death!

The problem is that this foolish King Qi has already "incited" the people under his rule to rebel.

Given such a difficult situation, isn't there any cheat code to help me?

Li You began to call for his cheat code.

Companions of time travelers, beacons of light for rebels, quickly reveal yourselves...

But... there wasn't a single hair.

Forget about cheat codes, there aren't even any entries for them.

There weren't even large warehouses, large supermarkets, Mercedes-Benz cars, large cement trucks, or large trucks.

There's nothing there.

Is it possible to compete with the entire Tang Dynasty by relying solely on the cultural knowledge taught in compulsory education on Earth?

At this time, the leaders of the Tang Dynasty were either nobles from Guanzhong or powerful families from Shandong, all of whom were the elites of the era.

In one-on-one combat, they are not afraid of you; in terms of military strategy and tactics, they are better than you!

Li Shimin, in particular, is undoubtedly a military strategist and politician, except that he was not a literary figure.

Li You asked himself: Brother, what do you have to fight him with?

……

Look around.

The warriors and assassins drinking and toasting in the hall were his core rebellion team.

Among them, four were the most valiant.

The brothers Yan Hongxin and Yan Hongliang were sent by their uncle Yin Hongzhi to help him.

Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao, two fierce warriors skilled in riding and archery, were recruited by the King of Qi himself.

Of these four people, only Yan Hongxin has any brains.

The other three were all warriors.

They only know how to kill, but they don't know why they kill or what the consequences of killing will be.

Li You became increasingly anxious as he thought about it.

Will I be able to see the sun rise tomorrow?

Of course, this idea is somewhat too negative.

The straight-line distance between Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Qizhou is 1800 li.

Even if Li Shimin were to send troops to punish them, it would take him some time to reach this place.

Seeing his lord's worried expression, Yan Hongliang casually said, "Your Majesty need not worry. We men will drink wine with our right hands and fight for Your Majesty with our left. Soon we will march on Chang'an! At that time, you will be the ruler of the entire Tang Dynasty, and we men will all become the new Dukes!"

As soon as he said that, the dozen or so strong men attending the banquet cheered.

Upon hearing this, Li You didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He couldn't help but recall classic quotes from the classic novel *Water Margin*.

Now that everything is peaceful, my brother will become the emperor, and Master Lu will become the prime minister. We will all become high-ranking officials, march on Tokyo, seize the throne, and that would be far better than this chaotic mess here!

Coincidentally, the place where the heroes of the Water Margin gathered to cause trouble back then, Liangshan Marsh, which spans eight hundred li, is not far from Qizhou.

Li You thought to himself, given the current situation, if he could have Song Yashi and Wu Xuejiu to advise him, Lu Yuanwai and Lin Jiaotou to command his troops, Chai Daguanren to reorganize the economy, Gongsun Daoren to command the wind and rain, plus Tie Niu, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yan Qing, Shi Qian and other ruthless people, he might be able to compete with Li Shimin.

……

"Come, Your Majesty, drink this cup to the brim!"

Li You did not refuse the wine glass that Yan Hongliang offered.

Now... all I can do is have a drink to calm my nerves.

As the sweet wine from a thousand years ago entered my stomach, a warm current spread through my limbs and bones.

Li You couldn't help but glance at the wine glass in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the wines and drinks in the Tang Dynasty were so delicious.

Li You's mood improved slightly.

People should always have some optimism, shouldn't they?

Even if you, Li Shimin, wanted to order my death, you would have to wait a while.

Li You began drinking and toasting with his subordinates.

Just then, a burly man with a cold expression walked in.

This man was none other than Yan Hongxin, the elder brother of Yan Hongliang, a general under the Qi King who possessed some intelligence.

Behind Yan Hongxin, several guards were escorting a young man dressed as a scholar and a beautiful young woman.

"Your Majesty!"

"Oh, it's Hongxin! Come on, come on, let's drink together!"

Yan Hongxin frowned.

"Your Majesty, I have just captured Du Xingmin. He attempted to escape from the palace with his concubine."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.

Li You frowned as he looked at the man and woman in front of him.

Du Xingmin was a military officer in the Prince of Qi's mansion, in charge of over a hundred men.

Li You couldn't help but recall that in real history, the person who ultimately betrayed and captured him was none other than Du Xingmin.

This child must not be allowed to live.

Li You stood up and went to Du Xingmin.

"Sergeant Du, where are you trying to run to so late?"

Du Xingmin quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I'm not trying to escape... but... but I need to contact an important person for you!"

"So, you're not a traitor, but a loyal subject of mine?"

"Your humble servant... Your humble servant will always be loyal to Your Majesty!"

"Alright, why are you talking so mushy... Who is this important person you're talking about?"

"It's...it's Manager Tong from Wanyou Trading Company. He's incredibly wealthy and willing to assist Your Majesty!"

Li You squatted down and stared at Du Xingmin.

The latter lowered his head, avoiding eye contact with him.

"Raise your heads and look at me!"

Du Xingmin raised his head.

But in the next instant, his stomach was pierced by the long sword.

The woman next to her screamed loudly, a warm stream flowing down between her legs, wetting her skirt and emitting a strong smell of urine.

Li You slowly pulled the longsword out of Du Xingmin's body.

The latter died with his eyes wide open, staring straight at Li You.

"So this is what it feels like to kill someone."

With Du Xingmin's death, the beautiful butterflies in the Brazilian jungle began to flutter their wings.

At the moment, Li You can at least be certain of one thing.

Even if the rebellion fails, the person who captures him will never be that scoundrel Du Xingmin.

Because the dead will only slowly decompose and become nutrients for microorganisms.
