My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

That jade slip weighed several hundred kilograms!

He had finally managed to enjoy a few days of leisurely life, drinking iced tea and basking in the sun, but now he was going to be back to square one.

"Guanyinbi! No!"

Li Shimin let out a heart-wrenching wail.

"I was wrong! I will never boast again! Let me return to the Lizheng Palace tonight; I can't sleep without you!"

While Li Shimin was pleading desperately, they took advantage of the moment.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian, on the other side, had already keenly sensed the perfect opportunity to escape.

"Father! Mother! I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished memorizing the Analects at the Crown Prince's residence!"

"Your subject will immediately return and diligently practice self-discipline! Your subject takes his leave!"

"Whoosh—!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Chengqian directly activated the power of his body cultivation, turning into a blur.

Like a startled rabbit, clutching the precious photographic stone, it vanished without a trace in an instant.

"You unfilial son! Stop right there!"

Li Shimin reached out, but couldn't even grab a corner of Li Chengqian's clothes.

Watching the Crown Prince's fleeing figure, then looking at the Empress with a half-smile on her face, and Li Chen beside her clutching his stomach and laughing wildly.

The Tang emperor let out a long sigh and collapsed completely onto the brocade bench.

Sin ah.

My reputation as a great emperor for all time has been completely ruined by these two rebellious sons.

……

Night falls.

As dusk settles over Chang'an, the city lights begin to twinkle.

The Imperial Study in the Taiji Hall was brightly lit.

Li Shimin sat upright before the dragon desk with a bitter expression.

Before him lay stacks of government jade slips as high as a small mountain.

"Sigh, this is the price of bragging."

Li Shimin rubbed his aching temples, picked up a jade slip, and listlessly prepared to begin reviewing it.

Just then.

"Buzzing—"

The royal-made, top-grade communication jade slip placed in the corner of the dragon desk suddenly emitted a violent vibration.

This jade slip was a "real-time communication artifact" specially created by Prince Wei, Li Tai, for the core members of the Tang Dynasty royal family, combining immortal cultivation formations with the concept of the internet from his previous life.

There is only one group chat, named "[The Loving Family of the Tang Dynasty]".

The group members were only Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and the princes and princesses.

"Who's sending messages in the group chat in the middle of the night?"

Li Shimin put down the memorial with a puzzled look and picked up the communication jade slip.

Divine sense probed in.

The group chat interface instantly flashed into his mind.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian's avatar was seen flashing wildly as he uploaded a top-secret image-recording array file to the group.

The file's name was extremely alarming:

Shocking! The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty made such a boastful statement in private! Is it a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality? Read it now, it will be deleted later!

Upon seeing this title, Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.

An extremely ominous premonition instantly enveloped his entire body.

His fingers trembled as he clicked on the video file.

The picture is very clear.

His own booming voice, which resonated throughout the backyard, immediately rang out from the high-definition 3D projection:

"That's right! I am incredibly brave! In this world, who can harm me..."

Followed by.

The video showed a close-up of him turning his head stiffly, like a rusty gear.

And upon seeing Empress Zhangsun, her face instantly turned deathly pale, covered in cold sweat, and her fawning smile became extremely humble.

Even the scene where he finally threw away the Emperor's Sword and ran to massage the Empress's shoulders was filmed very clearly!

"puff--!"

Li Shimin almost spat a mouthful of blood onto the jade slip.

His vision blurred, and he felt like the whole world was spinning.

Below the video.

The group chat has completely exploded.

Prince Wei, Li Tai, was the first to reply, his words revealing a strong desire to stir up trouble:

"Brother, you're awesome! That positioning, that perfect angle! I'm completely in awe! I've permanently saved this video and backed it up in the Tang Dynasty Royal Cloud Formation's top-secret database!"

Princess Chang Le sent a meme of herself covering her mouth and giggling:

"Father is so cute~ So this is what Father is like in front of Mother."

Princess Sizi of Jinyang sent a voice message, in a sweet, childlike voice:

"Father is so amazing! Your shoulder massage technique is so skillful! I want Father to give me a massage tomorrow!"

Looking at these replies.

Li Shimin's hands, gripping the jade slip, were bulging with veins, and his knuckles were white from excessive force.

Society is dead!

This is the real, ultimate social death in front of the whole family!

"Li! Cheng! Qian!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and squeezed out those three words, his eyes burning with a fierce desire to sacrifice his own family for the greater good.

He immediately brought up the group chat input interface, ready to issue the highest order in the name of the emperor, instructing Li Tai to completely destroy the video from the array's backend immediately!

however.

Just as Li Shimin finished typing "Delete immediately" and before he could send it,

"Ding-dong!"

A piercing system notification suddenly popped up above the jade slip's interface.

[Group member "Wei Wang Li Tai" has mistakenly forwarded the video file to another group chat.]

I saw this notification.

Li Shimin was taken aback.

Another group chat? Where else could that fat bastard Li Tai post this video?

He clicked on the prompt message to take a look.

next second.

The Emperor of Tang Dynasty stopped breathing completely.

The name of that group chat was—

[A large group for communication among civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty]!

Group members: All officials of the fourth rank and above in the Tang Dynasty, including Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong... a total of several hundred people!

In that originally solemn and serious government affairs group, which was specifically used to discuss national affairs.

now.

After a deathly silence, a nuclear-level explosion occurred!

Wei Zheng, the most outspoken critic of the Tang Dynasty, replied instantly with a message, even bolding his handwriting:

"Your Majesty is truly a man of great character and unparalleled courage. This old minister is filled with admiration. Tomorrow morning at court, this old minister will certainly record this video in the daily records so that future generations may admire it! And I will also earnestly inquire of Your Majesty what constitutes 'extraordinary courage'!"

Cheng Yaojin gave a thumbs up:

"Your Majesty is mighty! Your shoulder massage technique is even better than mine when I, Old Cheng, massage the Madam! I've learned a lot!"

"boom--!!!"

Inside the Imperial Study in the Taiji Hall.

A heart-wrenching, earth-shattering roar of despair erupted from it.

"Li Tai! Li Chengqian!"

"I will exterminate your entire clan!!!"

"No! Those are my nine generations of relatives!!!"

"Clang!"

The Emperor's Sword was drawn.

A figure in bright yellow, carrying a gleaming longsword, smashed through the door of the Imperial Study.

With boundless, violent killing intent, it disappeared into the deep night of Chang'an City.

Tonight, the Tang Dynasty.

It was destined to be a sleepless night filled with the warmth of fathers and the filial piety of sons, as well as chaos and disorder.
