Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

Quickly cool down the "Zhi Cha" tea, then pour it back into the thermos.

This was not the first time he had seen this thing. The first time he met a wild beast, He had served him tea.

However, he was still very cautious at that time and did not drink the beverage that the wild beast gave him.

Lin Yan immediately stepped forward: "Dude, what's this?"

"Knowledge Tea is an extremely special beverage. Its ingredients are almond water, which can restore spirit and provide nutrition, and powder made from the corpse of a monster called Blind Knowledge. Drinking it can quickly restore mental strength and slightly increase the upper limit of mental strength, but that's not the most important thing..."

Lin Yan found it hard to believe:

"Isn't that important?"

“I have a more efficient and faster way to raise your mental limit. This stuff gives you a feeling of vitality when you drink it. It’s very interesting. You should try it.”

"Alive?"

Lin Yan curiously picked up the thermos, gently blew on it, and carefully took a sip.

A rich almond flavor fills the mouth.

Before he could even savor it properly, the tea he drank came to life, turning into wriggling worms crawling all over his mouth.

puff--

Lin Yan instantly transformed into a jetpack warrior.

Yang Bo dodged the area-of-effect 'attack' and then asked, "Tell me how it tastes?"

"You've never had it before?"

Lin Yan glanced at the tea leaves that had fallen to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no insects inside.

"You're the first one to drink it right after the raw materials are produced."

Okay, okay, so you're using me as a guinea pig! And the recovery of your spirit is just from being scared, right?

"Some of them are prickly, like an electric shock."

"That's it?"

Lin Yan nodded without changing his expression or skipping a beat, and then picked up the thermos and poured some Zhicha into his palm.

The white liquid contains some transparent particles of Zhicha powder, which are very fine and easily overlooked if you don't look closely.

Yang Bo picked up another cup of "Zhi Cha" and took a sip.

In an instant, he glared at Lin Yan and pointed at him. Although he didn't say a word, Lin Yan clearly felt that he was being insulted.

Chapter 296 Please Call Your Majesty Crown Prince

The night is deep.

After a long silence, Li Chengqian bowed deeply, his voice hoarse and resolute, a sound long suppressed by the young man:

"I think! From the day I was made crown prince, I have studied diligently day and night and dared not slack off, only hoping to inherit the throne, protect the Tang Dynasty, and bring peace to all the people."

Yang Bo placed the tea on the table. He didn't dislike the wriggling, 'live' feeling of the insects, just like eating a bouncy popping candy.

"Just think about it, Li Chengqian. Do you even know what your biggest weakness is?"

Li Chengqian subconsciously looked at his lame leg, but Yang Bo shook his head:

"Your legs aren't the problem, you're just taking it too seriously. But I can't blame you, you're still young and your mind isn't stable yet."

"In other words, if your father had been injured at Xuanwu Gate, either in the leg or by losing an arm, do you think he would have refrained from becoming emperor because of his physical ailment?"

Li Shimin: "..."

Why are you bringing up me?

But he fell silent. If he had truly been physically disabled back then, the world would still have been his. He was just disabled, not unable to lift a knife.

In reality, he had no intention of letting Li Tai succeed him; he only wanted Li Chengqian to feel threatened. Unfortunately... it seems he has overplayed his hand now.

"However, since you feel that your leg ailment is a source of great anxiety, I will help you cure your leg."

"Immortal, can you really heal my leg?"

"You've already called me an immortal, if I don't heal your leg, wouldn't I be too useless?"

To save himself the trouble, he simply took a "resurrection coin" out of his backpack and threw it to Li Chengqian.

"Here you go. If you're presented with a choice later, don't overthink it. Just choose to revive immediately, understand? If you choose the wrong one, then you'll have died for nothing."

'What's the meaning?'

Under the watchful eyes of Li Chengqian and the others, Yang Bo extended his hand in front of him and flicked his finger lightly.

whoosh-

Li Chengqian simply couldn't withstand his current data-driven attacks. Even without the "Power Gem" bonus, his current maximum health of 1830 points would easily crush Li Chengqian with the increased attack power.

Boom!

The courtyard wall of Lin Yan's house collapsed directly. Li Chengqian felt a darkness before his eyes, and then he saw his 'body' crash into the wall.

Like a straw man repeatedly crushed by a wheel.

'Can my body... still be in this position? Am I dead?'

Immediately afterwards, he saw words that only he could see.

"Instant Revival"

"Give up on resurrection"

'Give up on resurrection? Are you...are you kidding me? I want to resurrect immediately!!'

Outside, before Li Er could even grieve, he saw the shattered corpse instantly restored to its original state.

"Cheng Qian?"

Li Chengqian suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath like a drowning person.

"I...I'm fine..."

He struggled to his feet from the wrecked ruins, and then he felt something strange in his legs.

I took two steps forward cautiously.

My leg ailment is gone!

Two streams of tears flowed down Li Chengqian's cheeks. He first walked to Li Shimin's side and said in an emotional tone:

"Dad, my leg is all better!! Look!"

Seeing this, Yang Bo leaned close to Lin Yan and whispered, "Look, the Crown Prince just wants Li Er's approval... tsk tsk, he already has something on his mind."

"I don't care whether he has psychological problems or not, I'm concerned about your treatment methods... Just now, was Li Chengqian already dead?"

"Hey buddy, I've never failed when dealing with ordinary people."

Lin Yan: "..."

Is this something to be proud of?

After a moment, Li Chengqian composed himself, wiped away his tears, and knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing to Yang Bo:

"Thank you so much, Immortal, for saving my life!"

"Get up. Now that you're better, let's discuss what to do next."

Yang Bo gestured for Li Chengqian and his son Li Er to come over.

"Your Majesty, since you're the emperor and have many children, I can't really say anything. Lin Yan, can you get some Smurfs by signing in? We can share some with your father-in-law. Even if you cure Empress Zhangsun's illness, her body can't withstand any more strain..."

He had only said it casually, but Lin Yan actually nodded and said, "You're right, I have all kinds of models. I'll give him some later."

"My lord, what is this Smurf?"

"You'll find out when the time comes by asking your son-in-law. Now let's talk about the children."

In an instant, Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, and even Fang Xuanling, who was lost in thought, perked up their ears.

“The eldest son is the eldest son. Even if you like Li Tai, you have to consider the circumstances. You can give him money, affection, treasures, and fiefdoms, but you can’t let him have his hands on the throne. Otherwise… not only will the eldest son harbor resentment, but your other sons will also have inappropriate thoughts.”

"For example, if my second brother can become the crown prince, why can't I? Let's take a gamble. If I win, I'll become the emperor; if I lose, I'll be demoted to a fiefdom. We're both sons, so why should the father kill me?"

Li Shimin remained silent.

He never intended to depose the crown prince. Historically, if Li Chengqian hadn't assassinated Li Tai, he would have simply been utterly disappointed.

If Li Chengqian hadn't rebelled in the end, the position of crown prince would have been truly uncertain.

“If you really can’t treat everyone equally, then delegate all the power to the eldest son. He will naturally find a way to treat everyone equally. In all these years, the authority of the eldest son has only failed to work on you once.”

No matter what methods or means the eldest son uses, the innate bloodline suppression can keep 99% of the eldest sons at the top of the food chain.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian beside him: "The immortal is right, Chengqian..."

Yang Bo reached out and tapped the table, making a thumping sound.

"Please address Your Majesty as Crown Prince."

Li Shimin: "???"

Li Chengqian: "??!!"

A strange look appeared in Li Chengqian's eyes.

This is a line from Li Chengqian in "The Reign of Zhenguan", but the meaning is quite different when Yang Bo says it versus when Li Chengqian says it.

Everyone present knew that this was not a joke or a meme, but a formal recognition of the crown prince's status and a reshaping of the Tang Dynasty's rules for succession.

Li Shimin nodded slightly and asked earnestly:

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian straightened his back a bit, as if the gloom, timidity, and anxiety that were originally hidden in his bones had been completely stripped away.

Instead, the crown prince possessed an innate composure and uprightness, along with a trace of the majesty that had been fully awakened in him as the eldest legitimate heir of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your subject believes that the laws of the state should come first, and family matters should come second."

"My father favored Qingque, granting him a residence beyond the prescribed limits and bestowing upon him gifts beyond the proper standards. Rumors spread throughout the court and among the people, causing unrest among the public."
