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

After several rounds of drinks, Li Chengqian looked at everyone and said with a smile:

"Come on! I have another surprise for you! Let's go see!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but show expressions of curiosity.

Outside the Lizheng Hall.

The night sky was already pitch black, with countless stars twinkling.

boom!

slap~

Just then, a sound rang out, a streak of light rose into the sky, and then exploded in the dark night sky, turning into a sky full of fireworks.

This sudden scene startled everyone present.

"What...what is this?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but speak up, and Li Chengqian smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"These are fireworks, made from gunpowder. Aren't they beautiful?"

Li Lizhi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at the magnificent night sky.

"Wow~ So beautiful! Bro~ Is this gunpowder some kind of divine magic? It can actually create a dazzling display of fireworks!"

Looking at the little girl with stars in her eyes, Li Chengqian couldn't help but show a look of doting affection.

He gently patted Li Lizhi's head and said:

"If Chang Le likes it, your older brother will show it to you every year from now on!"

"Yay! It's a deal, big brother, you can't lie to me!"

"Hahaha! Of course, when has your brother ever lied to you?"

The fireworks display continued, not only at the imperial palace, but also in other parts of Chang'an.

In an instant, the entire night sky of Chang'an was lit up.

The people in the city couldn't help but stop and watch when they saw this scene.

"Is...is this a miracle?"

"So beautiful! What is this?"

Just as the people were discussing the matter, a group of people dressed in flying fish robes and holding embroidered spring knives began to manage the chaotic crowd.

"Fellow villagers, this is a New Year's gift prepared by His Highness the Crown Prince. Please don't be alarmed, just enjoy it."

Mao Xiang stood on the high platform and shouted to the people below, and the crowd couldn't help but show a look of surprise upon hearing this.

"Did you hear that? That official said this is a gift His Highness the Crown Prince prepared for us!"

"Hahaha! I heard that! Even during the New Year, His Highness the Crown Prince is still thinking of us ordinary people!"

"Indeed! Such a crown prince is a blessing to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, and the people below were instantly engulfed in flames.

They all started shouting along!

"Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!!!"

"Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!!!"

"Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!!!"

……

Looking at the cheering crowd below, Mao Xiang couldn't help but smile slightly, looking quite proud.

Indeed, Your Majesty is the chosen one, the one everyone hopes for. That false emperor is nothing but a cuckoo usurping the throne. In a few decades, Your Majesty will surely rule the world!

He was happy, but the other Imperial Guards were exhausted.

Because buildings in this era were all made of wood, even the slightest spark could set them on fire.

To prevent fires, almost all of the Imperial Guards in Chang'an were mobilized to patrol various parts of the city as a precaution.

However, this scene left the occupants of the underworld dumbfounded.

No? Who are you? Is this still Chang'an?

Seeing the array of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Bad Guys were terrified.

Throughout Chang'an, there was a Jinyiwei patrol every fifty steps. These were the Jinyiwei patrols in the open; there were countless Jinyiwei patrols hidden in the shadows.

With such a scale, the entire city of Chang'an must have at least tens of thousands of people.

There are only a few thousand members of the Bad Guys in Beijing.

Moreover, these people are clearly His Highness the Crown Prince's men.

No?

Is His Highness the Crown Prince going to rebel?

You're not even acting anymore, are you?!

Meanwhile, inside the palace.

The voices of the people outside resounded through the sky, so that even though Li Shimin was inside the palace, he could hear them clearly.

He immediately looked at Li Chengqian with a terrified expression and said:

"You unfilial son! What have you done? Are you trying to rebel?"

Hearing the noise from outside and seeing his old man's wary expression, Li Chengqian was completely bewildered.

He simply sent Mao Xiang to Chang'an to maintain order and prevent fires.

What's going on?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Shimin with a bewildered expression and said:

"Dad! Would you believe me if I said I didn't know what happened either?"

However, at that moment, a eunuch hurriedly came to Li Shimin's ear and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing the eunuch's words, Li Shimin's eyes widened in surprise.

He looked at Li Chengqian with disbelief and said:

"You unfilial son! You still say you don't want to rebel? What's with the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said:

"We're just worried the fireworks might set people's houses on fire, so we're sending some people to patrol, just in case!"

"You call this a little bit of a person?"

Li Shimin's voice was almost a shout.

He knew that this unfilial son had a secret guard, but he never expected that the unfilial son's secret guard would be so outrageous!

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile and say:

"Hehehe! There aren't that many people!"

At this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but take a deep breath and, feigning composure, said:

"You're really not going to rebel, are you?"

"Of course not! Father, you are in the prime of your life, and I'm not in a hurry to become emperor. You can just continue as emperor for now, and I'll tell you when I want to become emperor someday."

"We're father and son, aren't we? What's yours is mine, isn't it? Of course, what's mine is still mine!"

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Shimin's face turned green.

What do you mean, "Just start doing it"?

What does it mean to tell him you want to be emperor?

Is this guy even speaking human language?

At the same time, a long-lost system notification sounded in Li Chengqian's mind.

【Ding! 】

[Rebellion Achievement Points +100]

[Rebellion Achievement Points +100]

[Rebellion Achievement Points +100]

……

Hearing the series of system notifications, Li Chengqian was overjoyed.

Hehe! It seems Old Li has really broken down this time.

That's understandable, though. The old man always felt he had everything under control, but the appearance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard completely threw things out of his control.

Such a team, combining combat, reconnaissance, disguise, and punishment, was enough to make even Li Shimin feel troubled.

Seeing his somber expression, Li Chengqian casually stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Hehehe! Don't worry, old man. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is nothing special. Besides, I'm not going to rebel. I haven't had enough fun yet. What decent person would want to be emperor? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

What does that mean?

What do you mean, kid?

What does it mean to be a respectable person? Who would be vying to be emperor?

Then what am I?

What kind of Xuanwu Gate inheritance law was it that I created first?

This time, Li Shimin was completely at a loss!

Treason! Absolutely inappropriate! ! !
