With the help of Changsun Shi, Li Shimin straightened his clothes and left the house with his sword.
He arrived at his father's study with a servant, finding the room already lit.
He asked for permission outside and entered after being granted it.
Seeing his father pacing back and forth in the study, Li Shimin closed the door behind him and asked as if he had already known:
"Father, is that Eagle Raising Colonel Liu Wu Zhou in rebellion?"
Li Yuan, over fifty years old, was slightly startled.
Hearing this question, the anxious expression on his face turned into confusion, "How do you know that, Erlang?"
"That dog Liu Wu Zhou killed the prefect last night and led his troops to occupy Mayi.
"I just learned of this matter. Fearing that he might have grand ambitions, I called you here to discuss this."
The 'history' he had obtained from the chat group was being verified, and Li Shimin subconsciously said:
"Liu Wu Zhou has only a thousand soldiers under his command.
"He dared to kill Prefect Wang Ren Gong, he must have rebelled in his heart.
"But with only a thousand men under his command, rebellion is no different from seeking death.
"I guess he will open the granaries and distribute grain to the people, recruit soldiers, and then collude with the Turks to seize the world."
Li Yuan was shocked.
After a long silence, he asked anxiously:
"If Liu Wu Zhou rebels and incites the Turks to invade, His Majesty will surely summon Father to be held accountable.
"If we don't handle it properly, and His Majesty punishes us, what will we do?
"Our great undertaking is not yet complete, will we be ruined?"
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then looked up at Li Yuan and said resolutely: "Time is of the essence.
"Father, we can rise up."
Li Yuan was stunned, staring straight at him.
After a long silence, he waved his hand and told him to leave:
"Call Pei Ji, Xu Shixu, and Liu Wenjing to discuss this tomorrow.
"It's getting late, Erlang, go back and rest."
"Yes, Father."
Li Shimin bowed and left.
After going out, he looked up at the sky.
A bright moon hung high in the night sky, as if an immortal lived in the heavenly palace.
Just a few words had already revealed the secrets of this turbulent world.
And he passed on a wondrous method to help those caught in this chaotic world.
"Li Shimin, the Tang Taizong."
He whispered softly, a fire burning intensely in his heart, yet he dared not let it escape.
If they rose up now, once they succeeded, it would be his father who would ascend the throne and become the founding emperor of the 'Great Tang'.
If he was the Tang Taizong, what about his elder brother Li Jian Cheng?
Could it be… would it really come down to a clash at the Xuanwu Gate?
No! Absolutely not!
He looked at the chat group that connected to the myriad worlds.
He looked at the group marketplace where anything could be bought.
His eyes showed a newfound determination.
Modern-day Beijing.
Li Yi had not slept a wink at noon because he had an appointment with Jiang Yuan to meet the director he had found in the afternoon.
They were to meet at the alley where Zhang Da Xian Er set up his stall to tell fortunes.
Incidentally, Li Yi had also arranged an audition for Zhang Da Xian Er.
He was using 'auditioning Zhang Da Xian Er' to assess the director, and had the director be in charge of 'auditioning Zhang Da Xian Er'.
Killing two birds with one stone, and both birds landed perfectly, making Li Yi quite satisfied.
Therefore, he immediately decided on the director and leading actor for the movie 'Mr. Vampire'.
After selecting them, Li Yi directly sent the director and leading actor to the film studio.
With the director in place, the complete crew began to prepare for filming in an orderly manner.
Li Yi had nothing to do, so he wandered around the studio, helping here and there, creating chaos there and there.
Eventually, the crew manager, Lao Sun, couldn't stand it anymore, stopping him and telling him to stop making trouble.
He even suggested that if he was really bored, he could go to the studio next door and harass them.
The crew next door was also shooting a horror film. Even if he went to play a dead body and sleep, he would get paid.
Would Li Yi do such a wicked thing?
Upon hearing that he could earn two hundred yuan by lying down and sleeping.
He immediately went to the studio next door.
He got a part as an extra through Lao Sun's connections.
He put on corpse makeup with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and found a good spot to lie down.
Then, he stopped breathing.
In the eyes of Lao Sun, he didn't seem like he was playing a corpse, but rather that he had actually become a corpse by lying down and lying down.
He was scared.
If filming hadn't already started, he would have definitely gone over to check if Li Yi still had a pulse.
This crew was shooting a horror film, and several scenes required this background.
Li Yi lay down there and slept for the entire afternoon.
Halfway through his sleep, he felt the temperature around him suddenly drop.
It wasn't the kind of drop that came from a drop in temperature, but the kind of drop in a horror film where the yin qi suddenly intensifies.
He mumbled to himself in a daze, praising the crew of the horror film for being so dedicated to their work, even using real yin qi to set the atmosphere.
However, an environment with too much yin qi could make people sick, and might even give rise to evil spirits.
Therefore, he half-asleep gathered a strand of pure yang and directly dispelled the yin qi.
Feeling the temperature around him become comfortable again, he fell back into a deep sleep.
He was sleeping soundly, but Lao Sun was worried sick.
He was afraid that Li Yi would really stop breathing while sleeping. Then, the Blue Academician would definitely launch an intercontinental missile and deliver a big mushroom to his home.
Compared to Lao Sun's anxiety, the crew manager next door was very satisfied.
He felt that Lao Sun's friend was worth making friends with and reliable.
Recommending an extra was so trustworthy, playing a dead body so professionally, lying down for an entire afternoon.
He also lay there without a sound, not complaining at all.
What kind of willpower is this?
What kind of endurance is this?
This… Wait! Could it be that he's really dead?
Li Yi's corpse continued to act until the Blue Academician came off work to pick him up.
When the filming was finished, the crew manager gave him an extra red envelope, hoping he would leave quickly and never come back.
Li Yi thought the crew manager was a good guy.
As he left, he patted the other person on the shoulder and told him: If you encounter any unnatural incidents that you can't solve, you can come next door to find him.
He removed his makeup, took the two red envelopes, and bragged to Lan Xing:
"Take it, we earned it with our own skills!
"Lao Sun is a reliable person, he really recommends good jobs.
"Where else can I find such a good job, where I can earn eight hundred yuan by just lying down and sleeping for an afternoon?"
After bragging, he also sighed:
"It's just that the crew has bad feng shui, the yin qi is too heavy, and they're shooting a horror film.
"It's just that there are no gods or ghosts in this world, otherwise the entire crew might have died."
"Yin qi?"
Lan Xing stuffed the eight hundred yuan that the little man earned from playing a corpse back into the red envelope and put it in her bag, ready to take it home to collect.
Hearing Li Yi's sigh, her hand paused slightly.
"Yeah, it's easy for ghosts and zombies to appear in horror films, the yin … wait, that's not right!"
Before she finished speaking, Li Yi, who had been sleepy, suddenly realized.
"This world is 'materialistic'.
"Under the constraints of rules, yin and yang are in balance. Where is there such a thing as 'yin qi being too heavy'?"
After speaking, he looked at Lan Xing, and they both said their guesses at the same time:
"The influence of changes in the world's constants?"
