My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

The dragon-patterned red ding was a symbol of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore,

By its later period, the Zhou Dynasty existed in name only.

However, King Zhou guarded the Dragon-Inscribed Red Tripod as if guarding it meant safeguarding the Zhou dynasty's empire.

The Dragon-patterned Red Cauldron was beautifully cast and extremely heavy.

Historically, only a handful of people have been capable of lifting a tripod.

King Wu of Qin was lifting the Dragon-patterned Red Tripod when, due to its immense weight, he lost his grip and the tripod broke, causing him to die that very night.

Soga no Emishi was also a strongman, and he had almost no rivals in the Japanese kingdom.

After obtaining the blueprints for the dragon-patterned red cauldron, he cast it to be larger and heavier.

Nowadays,

He invited Li Chenggan, Songtsen Gampo, and Queen Shande to the event, intending to show off his skills in front of everyone and serve as a deterrent.

Li Chenggan thought to himself, "It seems that this Soga no Ezo is not simple at all."

On the surface, Soga no Ezo was very polite, but in reality, he was gentle yet firm.

The crowd stepped aside to watch.

Soga no Emishi took off his long coat, revealing a black vest that showed off his muscular physique.

The muscles were bulging, like lumps of iron.

Soga no Emishi, wearing wooden clogs, walked up to the Dragon Pattern Red Cauldron.

He first squatted in a half-horse stance and circulated his qi for a while.

In an instant,

His forehead veins bulged, his face was red and his neck was thick, and his arms seemed to have become three times thicker.

After Soga no Ezo finished gathering his energy, he bent over and supported the two legs of the Ryūmon Akadema with both hands.

He first shook the Dragon Pattern Red Cauldron, and sure enough, the Dragon Pattern Red Cauldron moved when he shook it.

Then he shouted, "Rise!"

Then, he slowly lifted the crimson cauldron with dragon patterns, first raising it to chest level.

Then, with a forceful pull of his arms, he lifted the Dragon-Patterned Red Cauldron high above his head.

The crowd applauded and cheered.

Soga no Emishi gently put the dragon-patterned red cauldron down again.

Qin Ying was unconvinced and took off her grown-up coat.

He spat into his palm, then rubbed it together: "I'll give it a try!"

Li Chenggan was very worried: "If you can't lift it, don't force it."

"Don't hurt yourself!"

"Your Highness, please rest assured!"

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

Qin Yingmai strode up to the Dragon-Patterned Crimson Cauldron, bent down, and prepared to lift it up.

but,

Even if he tried his hardest, he couldn't lift it.

He could only lift the Dragon Pattern Red Cauldron to chest level; raising it above his head was harder than climbing to heaven.

He was so tired that his face was red and his neck was swollen.

It's a sin to disobey a master.

To be honest, it's already quite remarkable that Qin Ying was able to lift the Dragon Pattern Red Top to this position.

Just then, Qin Ying was exhausted.

His right arm went limp, and the Dragon Pattern Red Cauldron fell vertically.

It was about to hit Qin Ying's right foot.

Suddenly, a hand caught the Dragon Pattern Red Cauldron, and it gently landed on the ground.

Qin Ying's face turned pale with fright.

Everyone saw that the person who reached out to support the Dragon Pattern Red Cauldron was none other than Li Chengan.

As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether someone is good or bad just by showing them a few moves.

Li Chengan's recent display of skill has already impressed everyone.

If it weren't for Li Chengan, Qin Ying might have repeated the mistakes of King Wu of Qin.

Soga no Emishi also realized that Li Chengqian was no ordinary person, and he was secretly surprised.

Qin Ying was exhausted and covered in sweat, sitting to the side panting heavily.
