Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a mischievous smile!

"Alright! Since the Crown Prince is so confident, how about we make a bet?"

Upon hearing his father's words, Li Chengqian immediately became interested.

"Oh? What are we betting on?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin smiled and said directly:

"Let's bet on this champion, and see if he comes from one of my ministers or from your Eastern Palace."

"If I win, the two generals behind you will be sent to the army for training, and from now on you will obediently follow me to review memorials!"

"What if I win?" Li Chengqian asked back.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

You win?

What makes you think you can win?

Your father has an all-star lineup under his command, okay? You only have two people and you think you can win?

Seemingly sensing his father's thoughts, Li Chengqian couldn't help but purse his lips and say:

"No way! If you win, I have to obediently approve the memorials; if I win, I get nothing. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Seeing his old man's foolish appearance, Li Chengqian retorted without hesitation.

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, the ministers following behind Li Shimin couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

This Crown Prince is truly interesting; they've never seen a prince dare to speak to His Majesty like that before.

Upon hearing his rebellious son's words, Li Shimin's face darkened, and he coughed before speaking:

"Very well! If you win, I will grant you one reasonable condition: as long as it's not about me abdicating the throne to you, I will absolutely agree!"

However, after Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Chengqian couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, and he couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"How stingy! It's just a throne, why are you being so stingy? That position will be mine sooner or later!"

Li Chengqian's voice wasn't loud, but the group of people around him could hear it clearly.

Li Shimin's face darkened instantly. This rebellious son! He really is coveting my throne!

The other military generals, however, had a different idea.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but whisper to Yuchi Gong beside him:

"What His Highness said seems to make sense!"

Yuchi Gong nodded in agreement.

In their view, His Highness the Crown Prince was the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty, and the throne of the Tang Dynasty was bound to be his sooner or later.

What His Highness the Crown Prince said isn't entirely wrong.

They, the former subordinates of the Prince of Qin's mansion, were quite satisfied with Li Chengqian as the crown prince.

Back in the Qin Prince's residence, this Crown Prince held a knife in one hand and raised the King of Wei in the other, standing in front of his younger siblings to protect them.

Just because he had the courage to face Xue Wanche's army at such a young age, these military officers looked at him with new respect.

Compared to Li Tai, they actually hoped that the throne could be smoothly passed to Li Chengqian.

Although they had just had a petty argument with Li Chengqian, they secretly hoped that Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing, those two brats, could actually win.

This is because it means that the Tang Dynasty has successors, and few of the descendants of these veteran military generals are capable of achieving great things.

There was no one capable of leading the three armies of the Tang Dynasty in a war to destroy a nation.

When they grow old, the Tang Dynasty's military generals will easily face a shortage of capable successors, so they sincerely hope that they can succeed by following these two brats, the Crown Prince.

Li Shimin also held this idea, which is why he made a bet with his unfilial son to send them to the army for training.

The Eastern Palace is too small. Only real battlefield combat can help these two young people grow up and become capable right-hand men in the future!

It can be said that Li Shimin put a lot of thought into this move.

After all, for now, the only successor to the Tang Dynasty in his mind is Li Chengqian. Li Tai is just a whetstone to hone Li Chengqian!

Having ascended the throne through the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he did not want the next generation to follow the same path; his next generation must be the eldest son of the legitimate wife!

As it turned out, Li Shimin did indeed think that way at first.

If it weren't for Li Chengqian's leg disability in the original history, coupled with his affair with his male favorite Chengxin, and his eventual rebellion, Li Shimin would never have deposed Li Chengqian!

Upon hearing the words of the two simpletons behind him, Li Shimin's face immediately darkened.

He turned and glared fiercely at the two of them.

Li Chengqian, looking reluctant, began to speak:

"Alright! Since you're my father, I'll take the loss and agree!"

【Ding! 】

[Rebellion Achievement Points +1]

[Rebellion Achievement Points +10]

……

Upon hearing the system notification, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Hey! Old Li's already angry?

So petty, hahaha!

The hunt begins!

As the opening drumbeats sounded, the warhorses beneath the riders shot off like arrows released from a bow.

Even Li Chengqian, carrying his precious bow, rode out at breakneck speed on his warhorse.

Li Shimin did not participate; as the emperor, he could not compete on the same stage with his ministers.

He dismounted and walked into a nearby tent.

"Ah!"

Upon hearing the voice, Li Yuan looked up and saw that it was Li Shimin. He immediately snorted coldly and said:

"Hmph! What are you doing here? I've come to see my grandson!"

Upon hearing his father's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a bitter expression.

"Father! It's all in the past, and the facts have proven that I am more suitable to be emperor than my elder brother! You should let it go and give me a chance to fulfill my filial duty!"

Because of what happened back then, Li Shimin always wanted to ease the tension with his father, the emperor.

It wasn't just for the political resources Li Yuan held, but also because his father, the emperor, had indeed doted on him back then.

King of Qin!

General Tian Ce!

Minister of the Imperial Secretariat!

Situ!

Grand Commandant!

Acting Grand Secretary of the Eastern Shaanxi Circuit!

Twelve Guards Generals!

Shangzhu Kingdom!

……

His power back then far surpassed that of his elder brother, who was the crown prince. Wasn't this a form of compensation from his father to him?

He was only focused on becoming the crown prince, and his feud with his elder brother had reached a point of no return, so he failed to see this point.

Seeing Li Shimin's bitter expression, Li Yuan felt a pang of sympathy.

Over the years, he has come to understand a lot. In the end, it was because he, as the father, did not treat his children equally, which led to the tragedy of brothers killing each other!

Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but let out a cold snort and said:

"Hmph! You unfilial son! Come and sit down! Do I have to invite you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately looked up, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

"Oh! No need, no need! Son, you can sit by yourself!"

Seeing his rebellious son's state, Li Yuan couldn't help but speak up:

"I've heard you've been indulging Li Tai lately? What? You're displeased with Gao Ming and want to replace the crown prince?"

Li Yuan's aged eyes were fixed on Li Shimin, as if he would strike him with his cane the next moment if Li Shimin dared to nod!
