Chapter 952 - 913: The Throne-Seizing Squad

Just as the assistant was rejected by the Tang Dynasty beauty,

he walked towards a nearby beauty with a somewhat exotic appearance,

the assistant started a conversation, saying,

"This beauty, your appearance doesn’t quite look like the beauties from our Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty,

you must be a beauty from the Western Regions, right?"

However, before the assistant could finish his words,

the beauty in front spoke fluent Persian, saying,

"Hello, I am a beauty from the Persian Zoroastrian temple."

When the assistant heard that the beauty with such a distinct exotic look was actually from the Persian Zoroastrian temple,

he curiously asked,

"Oh my, Persia seems to be very far from the Tang Dynasty,

since you’re from Persia, how long did it take you to get here?"

The Persian beauty told the assistant, saying,

"Because our Persia was conquered by the Arabs,

that’s why we Persians came to Tang Chang’an,

on the way, we crossed deserts, traversed the Pamir Plateau, and it took us three years to finally reach Chang’an."

When the assistant heard that the Persian beauty took three years to come from Iran to Chang’an,

he emotionally said,

"Living now is better, taking a plane from Xi’an to Iran only takes a few hours."

After speaking, the assistant changed his tone and said to the Persian beauty,

"Persian beauty, since you’ve come to Chang’an, you must be without support,

Why don’t I become your boyfriend, how about it?"

When the Persian beauty heard the man in front wanting to be her boyfriend,

she shook her head and refused the assistant, then said,

"Although you are handsome,

I feel that we are not suitable."

The assistant, puzzled, asked,

"Why are we not suitable?"

The Persian beauty told the assistant, saying,

"Because we Persians are all Zoroastrians, while you Tang people, some believe in Daoism, some in Nestorianism, none believe in Zoroastrianism."

The assistant tentatively asked the Persian beauty, saying,

"If I believe in Zoroastrianism, then can we be boyfriend and girlfriend?"

The Persian beauty still shook her head, saying,

"But, as a Persian beauty, I still want to find a Persian man."

After the assistant was rejected, he immediately looked around for another target,

soon, the assistant saw a beauty not far away, with darker skin, bigger eyes, and less body hair,

so he walked over and curiously asked,

"Hello, this beauty, may I ask, can we be friends?"

Only to see the beauty in front looked the assistant up and down and then said, feeling very inferior,

"We Kunlun slaves have been slaves since childhood, we have no right to make friends with you people from the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty."

When the assistant heard the girl in front was the historically famous Kunlun slave,

he very curiously said,

"In the past, when everyone saw Kunlun slaves mentioned in history books, they didn’t know what place these people were from,

"Now, I know, Kunlun slaves are ancient African people who came to the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty."

The assistant then showed great sympathy to the Kunlun slave, taking out 10,000 from his body, and walked over to Li Jiancheng, saying,

"Li Jiancheng, I want to ransom this Kunlun slave, is that okay?"

When Li Jiancheng saw the assistant holding a wad of paper bills, he said in surprise,

"Our Tang Dynasty uses copper coin and silver,

you guy want to use a wad of paper to earn this Kunlun slave’s freedom, that’s simply impossible."

At this point, Zhao Rong decided to help the assistant, he said,

"Li Jiancheng, although the assistant in our team has no silver tael on him,

but I have silver tael."

Saying that, Zhao Rong took out one million silver tael and handed it to Li Jiancheng, saying,

"This one million silver tael, can’t it ransom this Kunlun slave?"

When Li Jiancheng saw the one million tael of silver,

he widened his eyes and said,

"No problem." As Zhao Rong ransomed the Kunlun slave in front, he said to him,

"Kunlun slave, since you are from Africa,

then you go back to Africa,

Saying that, Zhao Rong took out the flying carpet and sent the Kunlun slave back to Africa."

At this moment, Li Yuanji, standing behind Li Jiancheng, suddenly looked unfavorably at Zhao Rong and his group of five, saying,

"You five foreigners, the more I look, the more you resemble Turks."

Zhao Rong explained to Li Yuanji, saying,

"We are not Turks, but purely Chinese."

Li Yuanji simply ignored Zhao Rong’s words and ordered his soldiers behind him, saying,

"Our Tang Dynasty had just fought a battle with the Turks in the Western Regions...

But unexpectedly, there are Turks infiltrating our Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty’s capital Chang’an now,

So now, we must capture these Turks and bring them to justice."

When those soldiers prepared to step forward and capture Zhao Rong and his people,

Li Shimin immediately stood out, standing in front of Zhao Rong and his group, questioning Li Yuanji, saying:

"Li Yuanji, these five people are my esteemed guests from afar,

If you dare to harm them, I will never forgive you..."

At this time, Li Jiancheng came over and warned Li Shimin, saying:

"Li Shimin, don’t forget, I am the Crown Prince, one day, when Li Yuan retires, I will definitely become emperor,

So now, you should bow to my orders, listen to me, and follow my lead,

Otherwise, beware that when I become emperor, I will take your life..."

When Li Shimin heard his brother Li Jiancheng threatening his life,

he immediately felt as if facing a formidable enemy,

involuntarily, Li Shimin thought in his heart:

"Originally, I wanted to coexist peacefully with my elder brother Li Jiancheng,

But it seems now, if I don’t kill Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng wants to kill me,

Rather than being killed by Li Jiancheng, I might as well kill Li Jiancheng."

so Li Shimin made up his mind to initiate the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Once Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji left,

Li Shimin promptly said to Zhao Rong,

"This elder brother, you are right, I must immediately initiate the Xuanwu Gate Incident,

otherwise, I will definitely become Li Jiancheng’s victim."

And Zhao Rong very much supported Li Shimin in initiating the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he said,

"Li Shimin, don’t be afraid, history books clearly record that you won the Xuanwu Gate Incident,

So, have courage and go for it,

Suddenly, Li Shimin hesitated and said to Zhao Rong,

"This elder brother, you don’t know,

"Because Li Jing controls a large amount of military power,

When I asked Li Jing to join me in initiating the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he outright refused,

Now, my military strength is insufficient,

You say, if I initiate the Xuanwu Gate Incident and it fails, what should I do?"

Zhao Rong encouraged Li Shimin, saying,

"No problem, Li Shimin, you now just need to lead your ten-member team of the Best Foundation Group to initiate the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and you will definitely succeed,

Miss Lili was beside Zhao Rong, curiously asking, saying,

"Brother Zhao Rong, so when Li Shimin initiated the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he couldn’t find influential people to join him."

Zhao Rong told Miss Lili, saying,

"It is precisely because Li Shimin couldn’t find influential people,

So he sought out this ten-member Best Foundation Group,

Among these ten people, the main part are from the Xianbei,

And most of these Xianbei are illiterate,

Because they are illiterate,

they have the courage to follow Li Shimin to initiate the Xuanwu Gate Incident,

In fact, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin’s chances of success were very low,

But Heaven favored Li Shimin, allowing him to achieve victory,
