Chapter 12: Li Shimin: You rebellious child, how dare you plot to usurp the throne!

~10 min read 1,878 words

"What is meant by one Emperor, nine directions, and thirty-six envoys?" Yewenhua asked hurriedly.

The expressions of Cangtian Laozu and the others to the side also became solemn.

This was no longer child's play like before; since Gu Changqing had brought up the Will of the Gods, it must be a very important matter.

This might concern their own interests, so they could not afford to be careless.

"The Divine Court takes the Yuanyi World as the God Realm, and your respective worlds constitute the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, plus the Honghuang Heaven and Earth as the material realm.

The one Emperor within the Divine Court, which is this seat, shall be the God Emperor, with nine Divine Systems established below as support, thirty-six Guardian Divine Envoys, and countless deities under their command."

As soon as Gu Changqing finished speaking, the eyes of Kaluo and the others lit up instantly.

Even Cangtian and the others were the same.

They truly had not expected that Gu Changqing would actually delegate power to them.

The nine Divine Systems—wouldn't that mean there are nine God Kings?

Thinking of this, Kaluo also asked expectantly: "Who can be the nine God Kings?"

Hearing this, Gu Changqing could not help but smile slightly.

"Do not say this seat is unfair; as long as any of you can promote your respective Small World into a Small Thousand World, you may be enfeoffed as the master of a Divine System."

After speaking, Gu Changqing looked at Cangtian Laozu and those who had not opened up a world.

"What about you all? This seat does not expect you to make a choice immediately, but this seat hopes you can accept the positions of the thirty-six envoys."

Regarding this, Cangtian Laozu could not help but smile bitterly, but under Gu Changqing's Divine Will and the gaze of the gods, they still agreed to Gu Changqing's proposal.

Although the thirty-six envoys were a sinecure, when necessary, they still had to take guarding the Divine Rice as their own responsibility.

Thus, under the witness of the Will of the Gods, after Cangtian Laozu and the others agreed.

The Divine Rice Qi Luck on their bodies began to climb step by step, reaching a very high level.

Even in their comprehension of the Law Great Rice, they had gained a great increase.

This scene made everyone present envious beyond measure.

However, once they thought about how they had the assistance of a Small World, and that their own comprehension might not necessarily be lower than theirs, their moods improved accordingly.

"Alright, then let us adjourn!"

After speaking, the mind of the Shengling Huang avatar left the divine throne.

At the summit of Mount Buzhou.

Gu Changqing, the Tree of Life, extended his Divine Sense, perceiving the disputes between the Immortal, Demon, and Divine Daos within hundreds of millions of billions of miles around Mount Buzhou.

Under Gu Changqing's command, although most of the innate sacred beings chose to lie dormant.

There were still many innate sacred beings who were forced by Demon Rice cultivators to become fence-sitters.

There were also many innate sacred beings who were encountered by Great Supernatural Beings of the Immortal Rice; under their preaching, a quite large portion of them actually chose to abandon the Divine Rice and join the Immortal Rice.

Admittedly, although compared to the Immortal Rice, the Divine Rice possesses certain constraints and is not as free as the Immortal Rice.

But the cultivation resources required by Immortal Rice cultivators are indispensable, and embarking on the path of competing for resources inevitably leads to fighting with others.

Therefore, the safety of the Immortal Rice is far from being as strong as the Divine Rice.

After all, Divine Rice cultivators do not die easily, and even if they do die, as long as their own Law Great Rice does not vanish, they will eventually be resurrected one day.

It is not like the Immortal Rice, where death means the body dies and the Rice vanishes, or even being wiped out into ashes.

At the same time.

Great Tang World.

Inner Palace.

"Respectfully welcome His Majesty, Your Highness, His Majesty has arrived."

Hearing these words, Changsun Wugou could not even be surprised; her face flushed red as she hurriedly looked for clothes, as she was currently naked.

She only had time to put on a red bodice before Li Shimin entered.

Seeing Changsun Wugou in such a state, he could not help but be a little surprised: "Guanyinbi, what is the matter?"

Changsun Wugou hurriedly said: "I just finished working in the fields and was just about to change my clothes."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded and said: "So that is how it is; Guanyinbi has worked hard."

"You are now the noble Empress, yet you still have to perform labor every day; you really don't have to."

Changsun Wugou shook her head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because I am the noble Empress that I must work every day; only through this method can I understand the hardships of the people of the world."

Hearing this, Li Shimin said with emotion: "Empress, you truly are my virtuous helper!"

At this time, Changsun Empress waved her hand, letting the palace maids all withdraw, then said: "Your Majesty, your concubine has a matter to discuss with Your Majesty alone."

Seeing that everyone had exited the room, Changsun Empress whispered: "Your Majesty, today your concubine encountered a very magical and inconceivable matter."

"I was added to an organization called the Myriad Worlds Friends Group."

"How should I put it, Your Majesty can understand it as your concubine having obtained a kind of immortal treasure that allows people from different worlds to communicate."

"Every time we communicate, there will be immortal rewards."

Hearing this, Li Shimin opened his mouth in surprise: "What? There is actually such a thing?"

Changsun Wugou nodded and said: "Today, your concubine even obtained a Youth-Preserving Immortal Pill, as well as two stalks of Millennium Wild Ginseng!"

"This Mountain Ginseng, your concubine has looked at it; eating it can increase one's lifespan!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin stood up with a start in shock: "What? It can increase lifespan? Is this true?!"

Changsun Empress nodded and said: "Of course it is true! This is what that magical system told me."

After speaking, Changsun Empress waved her jade hand, and two fresh ginseng roots, two feet long and connected to their bodies, appeared on the table.

"Your Majesty, this is the kind of special millennium ginseng I obtained; the system calls it Millennium Spirit Ginseng to distinguish it."

This creation of something from nothing gave Li Shimin a start: "Guanyinbi, have you also learned Immortal arts?"

Changsun Wugou laughed and said: "No, didn't I just say, this is the System Space."

Hearing this, Li Shimin could not help but exclaim: "Truly miraculous!"

Changsun Empress picked up a ginseng root and placed it in Li Shimin's hand: "Emperor, I have already washed this ginseng."

"Please, Emperor, partake with me."

"May the Emperor and I attain longevity in the future and become an Immortal couple."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was moved and said: "Good!"

"If I can attain longevity in the Earthly Realm with Guanyinbi and enjoy the riches of the Earthly Realm forever, that is my wish."

Afterward, the two of them consumed the spirit ginseng together.

Instantly, they felt their spirits soar, and the hidden ailments within their bodies seemed to have vanished!

Changsun Empress seemed to have thought of something and said: "By the way, Emperor, your concubine has also obtained a heaven-shaking secret this time, one that concerns the life and death of our Great Tang."

Li Shimin asked: "What matter?"

Changsun Empress said: "That Immortal said the Great Tang dynasty almost perished in the hands of our son."

Li Shimin was shocked, his whole person jumping up from his seat again: "What? Such a thing exists?!"

He roared with his whole being: "Bastard!"

"How could it be like this?"

"Is our son Li Chengqian really so incompetent?"

"Could it be that if I hand over the Li family's empire to him, the Crown Prince, in the future, it will be just like Qin Shi Huang? Just like Sui Yangdi?"

"If my Li family's empire perishes in three generations, would I not become Sui Yangdi?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"This unfilial son! Since that is the case, I shall depose him as Crown Prince tomorrow."

Changsun Empress immediately grabbed Li Shimin and said hurriedly: "Emperor, do not panic, listen to me finish what I have to say."

Li Shimin then sat back down and said: "What else does the Empress have to say? Are you trying to plead for that unfilial son?"

Changsun Empress replied: "Emperor, the other party only said that our Li family's empire almost perished."

"But listening to the implication of the words, it did not actually perish."

"At the same time, Emperor, you have misunderstood; the other party said the Li family's empire almost perished in the hands of our son, but did not say it was because of Li Chengqian."

Hearing this, Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief: "So that is how it is."

At this moment, Li Chengqian, who was practicing archery in the Eastern Palace, did not know that just a moment ago, his position as Crown Prince had almost been abolished.

If he knew, who knows if he would be so shocked as to break into a cold sweat and curse Gu Zhangqing across time and space?

At this time, Li Shimin frowned again and said: "Since it is not because of the Crown Prince."

"Then I understand, it is my other sons coveting the throne, refusing to submit to the Crown Prince, and wanting to usurp the throne, is that it?"

"Good, very good! It seems I must think of a way to cut off their delusions."

Changsun Empress took his hand and patted it again, saying: "Emperor, do not be anxious, the situation is not what you think either."

"The other party said that it is your and my third son who will inherit the throne."

"Our third son is named Li Zhi."

"The other party's exact words were these."

"That fellow, your third son Li Zhi, needs a good thrashing; never let him be Emperor in the future."

"He is a prodigal son, and the Great Tang world almost fell into ruin in his hands."

This made Li Shimin feel surprised: "What? My Crown Prince is not Li Chengqian? Why did he not inherit the throne?"

At this time, Li Shimin and Changsun Empress only had two sons and one daughter, and Li Zhi had not even been born yet, so Li Shimin felt even more surprised.

Is the other party truly someone from the Immortal ranks?

Even future events are known with such absolute clarity.

"It is actually the third son; why is it not our legitimate eldest son Li Chengqian who inherits the throne? Could it be that our eldest son will die young?"

"Even if that were the case, following the order of succession, there is still the second son; how would it ever reach the third?"

"What is going on here?"
