Chapter 104: The Tang Dynasty Princess Marries into the World

  "Yes, I'll take my leave." After the five-year-old Yage bowed and paid his respects to Li Yuan, he exited the Taiji Palace. Looking up at the azure sky, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. In his previous life, his son "Flying Sword Guest" had been named Li Yuan, but in this lifetime, Li Yuan had become his grandfather... This feeling was truly complicated.

  He couldn't help but sigh again as he thought about that supposedly upgraded system.

  In the previous task world, his mainline mission was considered completed, but unfortunately, the final completion degree was not the highest. Originally, both of their mainline missions should have earned 2300 points, but due to the completion degree issue, he only got 2000 points.

  The completion degree of this side quest is calculated based on the happiness level of Ya Ge's task object before they pass away. Bai Fei Fei's happiness level was at its maximum value, while Zhu Qi Qi only had around 75%, which resulted in a total of 950 points. Adding this to Bai Fei Fei's 1250 points, they just barely reached the required 2000 points.

  So this time the task object Yaka must be careful again and again, and finally come up with a low happiness degree, he is truly doing useless work. Moreover, the system also said that if the happiness degree is lower than 60%, it will be directly determined as a failed task.

  It's not easy to feel that the task is less troublesome than before, and Ya Ge is deeply depressed again. Is it because the system thinks he's too smooth in the task world, so it deliberately sets obstacles for him? Even if it is, he can only accept it, who let him still have no ability to resist the system?

  Yah's cultivation in the real world is still in its infant stage, although he has reached the peak of his infant stage, but compared to the system that can bring him through space and time barriers with his soul, he is still far behind. Especially since he did not relax his research on the rules in various task worlds, but except for the gains he made in the world of Xianjian Qixia Zhuan 4, he didn't even get a glimpse of anything in other worlds.

  In the end, he could only attribute all this to the reasons for the different development directions of the world. In a non-immortal fantasy mythological world, it's probably not that easy to come into contact with things that are almost the origin of the world.

  This time, the identity of Ye Ge is quite dangerous and embarrassing. He was Li Chengqian, the eldest son of Emperor Taizong of Tang, who was notorious for his role in the Xuanwu Gate Incident and the forced abdication of his father. After Emperor Taizong ascended to the throne, he immediately appointed Li Chengqian as the crown prince, but unfortunately, he was deposed in the 17th year of the Zhenguan era (644 AD).

  Although the history books say that Li Chengqian plotted a rebellion because he had foot disease, how things really were is probably only clear to those who have passed away. All Ya Ge knows is that being a crown prince is a truly high-risk profession. Looking at the history of China over the past few years, those who can truly ascend to the throne as a crown prince are fewer than the number of fingers on two hands.

  There were countless crown princes who died under mysterious circumstances, and he was now one of them, the ill-fated future crown prince, still Li Shimin's crown prince.

  It is more difficult to be the son of a wise king than to be the son of a foolish king, or even the son of an unscrupulous king who rose to power through questionable means.

  What's even more headache-inducing for Yaguo is that his target this time is also very special.

  His previous task objects were not unfamiliar with the female relatives he wore, from mother to sister to daughter, but these task objects were not the main line's first task object. The most special is that in the HP world, Aileen and several other task objects have equal status, without so-called first or second.

  This time, Ya Ge's mission target is the Empress Dowager Longsun, who was praised by later generations as a virtuous empress and also his mother in this life. He really couldn't think of anything unhappy about her except for her poor health and early death; otherwise, her life could be said to be magnificent.

  From the Queen of Qin to the Empress of Tang, she and Li Shimin can be said to have a deep affection. Although Li Shimin's harem had many other women, the one who was most favored was always her. Even their sons and daughters were of different significance to Li Shimin, no matter how excellent Wu Wang Li Ke himself was or how noble his bloodline was, Li Shimin never considered making him the successor.

  After Li Chengqian was deposed, the one who was still sealed as the Crown Prince was the ninth son of Taizong and the third son of Empress Zhangsun, Li Zhi. Perhaps it was because at that time the legitimate sons were indeed valued, but Li Zhi's talents were not outstanding in any way, yet Emperor Taizong still chose him. Moreover, his edict also showed that after deposing Li Chengqian, he considered only two candidates for Crown Prince: Li Tai and Li Zhi.

  These two princes were both sons of Empress Changsun.

  The four princesses born to Empress Longsun also received great favor from Emperor Taizong of Tang. Whether it was the eldest legitimate daughter, Princess Changle Li Lishi, or the third legitimate daughter, Princess Jinyang Li Mingda, who died at the age of 12 and was called "the pearl in the palm" by Emperor Taizong, it is all true. After Empress Longsun's death, Li Mingda was raised personally by Emperor Taizong along with Emperor Gaozong, making her the only princess in history to be raised by an emperor himself!

  What regrets could such a Empress Dowager Longsun still have, what happiness would she still need? Whether it was the estrangement between her eldest son Li Chengqian and second son over the throne, or the untimely death of Princess Jin Yang, all that happened after her passing! Could it be... that her happiness was still tied to these three sons and four daughters of hers?

  According to the information revealed by the system, Yajiao inferred that he came to this world in order to change the life trajectory of these task objectives. It is very likely that what he analyzed was the truth. After all, every time he comes to these task worlds, it is because the task objects have paid a price, although he is not yet clear about the price, but it should be considerable.

  So this time he has a lot to bear, to make Empress Changsun happy, it's not just about being harmonious as husband and wife, but also about having children who are well-behaved and brothers who are united in harmony! In Ya Ge's view, the death of Empress Changsun due to illness is not necessarily a bad thing. When she died, she left only good memories in Li Shimin's heart. But if time had gone on longer, no one can say for sure whether her impression in Li Shimin's heart would have changed or not.

  However, to complete the task, Ya Ge cannot let Empress Zhangsun die of asthma in the tenth year of Zhenguan, and even leave behind the two-year-old Princess Jinyang and the newly born Princess Xincheng. After all, it's not like before, and now we have to consider the happiness index, which is not something that Ya Ge can control.

  It is now the seventh year of Wude, and Yage has been transferred from King Hengshan to King Zhongshan by Emperor Gaozu. Li Shimin's pacification of Luoyang Wang Shichong has also reached a critical moment. If nothing unexpected happens, after Li Shimin returns to Chang'an, he will appoint Lu Deming and Kong Yingda, the two Confucian masters, as one of the eighteen scholars of the Imperial Palace, instructing them to teach Yage.

  After becoming the King of Zhongshan, he would naturally have the Zhongshan Wangfu bestowed by Emperor Li Yuqin. However, Yage is only six years old in nominal age and has not yet reached the age to live alone. He also needs to improve his relationships with many people, so it's better for him to continue living in the Qin Wangfu.

  It's not easy for the crown prince to become king, and once he fails, there won't be any good days. In order not to end up in that situation, Yaka can be said to have exhausted his mind. As a royal son, his current position is completely different from when he was in the Qing dynasty.

  As a member of the royal family, he can afford to be nonchalant about his position and gain recognition from the top bosses in the imperial palace. He can then quietly build up his own power base behind the scenes. As an illegitimate son with a humble background who has no chance at the throne, it doesn't matter how excellent he performs, but now that he has this new identity, everything is completely different.

  Li Chengqian is the crown prince of Li Shimin, seemingly one person below and ten thousand people above, but in reality it is even more dangerous. As a royal son, how could he not have any thoughts about that position? Yage needs to show that he can take on the role of crown prince, yet cannot be too prominent and cause Li Shimin's suspicion.

  What is the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince is the rightful heir to the throne! But how many emperors are willing to give up that power once they have it in their grasp? Just like Li Yuan, Yang Guifei's current grandfather, who was also forced by Li Shimin to abdicate and become a Taishang Huang.

  Song besides having to grasp the degree of showing off one's ability, also needs to brush up on many people's good feelings, and then secretly develop one's own power.

  If this were the official history of the Tang Dynasty, Ya Ge would never have chosen to develop her power. After all, Li Shimin was a more astute figure than Kangxi! If Ya Ge's actions had been exposed, her fate would have been the same as that of Li Chengqian in history - she would have been demoted to a commoner and died within a year.

  But here is a comprehensive world of history and film and television drama.

  When I first learned that this world still had the TV series "The Princess is Married" part of the plot, Yage almost hit his head on the ground. No wonder he came to this world to do tasks, with such a brain-dead Tang Taizong who doted on a private-born daughter and even a legitimate daughter, it's strange that Empress Longsun wasn't driven mad.

  Especially when the imperial concubine outside the palace was pregnant with a private daughter, it was during the time when Empress Zhangsun was seriously ill!

  Yah knew the news when his Zhongshan Wangfu was just granted, and ordered the housekeeper to arrange for all the servants of Zhongshan Wangfu to meet their master. When Yah saw one of the middle-aged female servants, the system popped up at that moment.

  Warning host, plot character detected! Plot character detected!

  Then, under his inquiry, the system told Yage that the maid was the grandmother who had raised the heroine to six years old. When Yage inquired about the heroine and the plot, the system transmitted all of these into his mind in a lump.

  After quickly browsing through the plot, Ya Ge really wanted to directly refuse this task, unfortunately he didn't have that right.

  This TV series is supposed to be about Li Shimin, but it's obviously a brainless remake of Yongzheng Dynasty 2!

  There's also the chaotic plot of chickens flying and dogs jumping, it's basically just transplanting "My Fair Princess" to the Zhenguan era.

  Li Shimin will cry, his princes and princesses will cry, and the Li Tang family will cry even more!

  After knowing this plot, Yage was silent for several days, until Empress Zhangsun came to care about him and pulled him out of the study room. He slowly recovered. Yage did not want such an elegant and dignified empress like Empress Zhangsun to be humiliated by a silk washer girl and a private-born daughter in the future.

  Even if Li Shimin was a brainless person, before the appearance of the silk-washing woman and his private-born daughter Zhao Yang, he was still the wise and martial Emperor Taizong of Tang in history, so Ya Ge's small movements must be careful again.

  The author has something to say: Many of the plot developments in "The Princess is Married" are inconsistent with history!

  Li Shimin had an affair with a woman named Yuji during the serious illness of Empress Zhangsun, which was around 634 to 636.

  According to the calculation of Zhenguan 8 years, Zhao Yang should have been born in Zhenguan 9 years. Later, it was said that she got married just before her 20th birthday. Even if it's virtual age, it should be around Zhenguan 27 or 28 years.

  The problem is, historically, there was only one year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty!!!!

  The story took place during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (Li Zhi).

  This plot is unbearable for a potato who has searched through countless materials QAQ
