Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

Li Chengqian responded and walked to the tea bar machine, picked up the kettle on it, and poured a glass of water for Li Shimin and Yang Bo.

Looking at the clear water, Li Shimin felt extremely disappointed.

Although the tea he drank yesterday had a unique taste, he wasn't stupid; he knew it was genuinely good stuff.

Li Tai swaggered into the living room, secretly observing Yang Bo sitting on the sofa before a friendly smile appeared on his face.

He showed no trace of the disrespect he had shown when he was outside.

"Li Tai greets the Grand Tutor."

"good."

Qingque's body was indeed a bit rounder, but his face was good, which was one of the reasons why he was able to win over many ministers.

If the prince really does have a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, and looks ferocious and terrifying, then the ministers will have to think carefully.

Even if it's for personal gain, the emperor has to be presentable.

Li Shimin was about to speak, but Yang Bo preempted him:

“Your Highness, didn’t you have something you wanted to say to the Second Prince? Well, your father is here too, so why not do it now?”

Li Chengqian's resolute face flushed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Qingque, come here."

A fleeting look of doubt crossed Li Tai's eyes, but he walked calmly to Li Chengqian.

"I wonder what instructions Your Majesty may have?"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai with a smile:

"Come, Qingque, kneel down. Your brother has something to tell you."

His tone was very flat.

However, the anger in Li Tai's heart suddenly flared up.

"You...you've gone too far!!"

"Legally, I am your elder brother; according to the royal system, I am the Crown Prince, the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty. What? Qingque, do you have a problem with that?"

Li Tai turned to look at his father, but to his despair, Li Shimin gave him a helpless look.

It's obvious that Yang Bo is backing Li Chengqian up.

Moreover, the reasoning behind it is flawless.

Seeing that the situation was beyond their control, Li Tai could only suppress his anger and kneel before Li Chengqian with great effort, gritting his teeth as he said:

"I wonder what instructions Your Majesty may have?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that I can give you the position of Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian's opening remarks were a bombshell, greatly shocking Li Tai and Li Shimin. Li Shimin's face immediately darkened.

"Don't talk nonsense..."

But Li Chengqian's tone changed:

"But you can't take it. Remember, what I give you is yours, Qingque. Your father loves you, but that's not a reason for you to talk back to me."

"From this day forward, Qingque shall address me, your elder brother, as the Crown Prince; otherwise... do not blame me for showing no brotherly affection."

Li Tai was furious, but he dared not retaliate. As the eldest brother of the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the Crown Prince himself, he had no way to refute these words.

If there is any rebuttal, then he is considered to have rebellious intentions, and that's when the real confrontation will break down.

He could confront Li Chengqian head-on, but it was only the tenth year of the Zhenguan era, and his power was not yet fully developed. If he faced Li Chengqian, who was in good health, he would only be crushed, and might even be banished to his fiefdom by his father.

"Your Highness, that's enough. I think it's most appropriate for Prince Wei to spend his life by your father's side to fulfill his filial duties. As for those petty people and treacherous officials who are bothering Prince Wei, give me a list and I'll clean them up."

Making tough statements is one thing, but actually doing real work is another.

"Your Majesty, instead of letting the court officials spend their energy on the struggle for the throne, it would be better to consider how to increase the strength of the Tang Dynasty. Those ministers are too idle, thinking about these trivial matters all day long."

"The Grand Tutor is right."

Li Shimin looked at Qingque with heartache. This was Cheng Qian's own brother, born of the same father and mother. To him, both were equally dear to him.

"I have come here on state affairs. There are floods in the east and a major epidemic in Guanzhong and Shanxi. People are displaced. I hope the Grand Tutor can give me some advice on how to deal with this."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately knelt before Li Shimin:

“Father, as the Crown Prince, I am willing to share your burdens. I am willing to go to the disaster-stricken areas of Guanzhong to inspect disaster relief efforts and take the imperial physicians with me to various prefectures and counties for medical consultations.”

This is important business...

Yang Bo also became unusually serious, and he sat up straight and glanced at Li Chengqian.

'This child does have some sense of responsibility…'

The pandemic doesn't discriminate; even in modern times, encountering SARS or COVID-19 still causes headaches, let alone in ancient times.

However, this outbreak is probably not serious; it may even be a widespread flu epidemic.

It only appears terrifying under the medical conditions of ancient times.

“I went with the Crown Prince during the pandemic. As for the floods… you should consult Lin Yan. He should have a solution. If not, those ministers in your court shouldn’t be allowed to do nothing.”

Li Shimin nodded, saying that extraordinary people like Yang Bo and Lin Yan could only be used as trump cards or as 'double-dealers'.

The real power to keep the country running is still the court officials he wishes he could personally challenge.

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Grand Tutor."

Chapter 301 Mordo: A New Magic System

Li Chengqian went to gather manpower and coordinate supplies, while Li Er went outside the palace to find Lin Yan to inquire about methods for flood control.

'We're outsiders after all, so we should at least give the protagonist some opportunities to show off…'

With a thought, the mist was summoned.

I felt a surge of excitement as soon as I returned to the main world.

"Another new world? And the kind without hosts and guests?!"

Jujutsu Kaisen is one of those shows that doesn't have a main clientele; it's entirely up to the show's creators to attract customers.

"Lang Jun!"

I had just returned when I heard a childish voice. Looking in the direction of the sound,

Little Sizi was standing next to the puppet at the entrance of the shop, her beautiful blue short jacket giving her an ethereal look.

'Damn, Li Er's life is so lucky. Little Si Zi is so beautiful; it seems all the credit goes to Empress Zhangsun.'

"Sizi, why did you come here? Does your mother know?"

Little Sizi's cheeks flushed slightly: "Mother doesn't know, I ran away by myself. I... I wanted to exchange for some food."

After saying that, she stretched out her chubby little hand, revealing a jade pendant of excellent quality.

"Uh…"

Although the jade pendant was of no real value to him, the last shred of conscience he had told him that if he continued to deceive such a young child, he would be in for a lot of electric shocks.

He stepped forward, took the jade pendant, and revealed an expression of utter astonishment:

"This...this is the legendary jade pendant? Okay, little Sizi, from now on, whenever you come to my place, Uncle will make sure you're well-fed. Just tell Aunt Anna what you want to eat."

Little Sizi: "..."

"My lord, your acting is so fake."

"Really? That's not important. What's important is that as long as you come here, you can eat whatever you want. If you want to bring something delicious for your mother, you can only bring enough for one person. As for your father, you don't need to worry about him. If he wants to eat something, your uncle will talk to him personally."

An old man like him trying to get something for free?

I don't think about it!

Even if it's just disposable napkins, you still have to pay for them.

Just then, Anna came out of the store and saw Xiao Sizi and Yang Bo. She immediately went up and picked Xiao Sizi up.

"Boss, we have way too much almond water. The school just delivered another batch. Should we take it or not?"

The school's homeless people have a stable place to live and food, and their weapons and equipment have been upgraded, so their survival rate has greatly improved. As a result, the acquisition rate of almond water has also increased exponentially.

"Keep it for now. Almond water is a valuable commodity everywhere. Besides, we're basically getting something for nothing, so there's no need to worry about it."

For homeless people, excess almond water is worthless. It's inconvenient to carry around and a waste to throw it away. It's better to hand it over to the store to exchange for points and buy some things they can use in their daily lives.

"I'll add some high-value items later, so that the homeless can have something to look forward to."

Anna nodded and reached out to touch Xiao Sizi's cheek: "Boss, look how cute this little girl is."

"Your mixed-race child will definitely be even more beautiful."

Anna blushed and blinked her golden eyes as if in a seductive manner: "Boss... will you be back tonight?"

"Tonight I'll take you to the world of the rhinoceros. I plan to build a floating island there so we can enjoy the moon in the sky."

Yang Bo smiled broadly, but upon seeing Si Zi's clear, spring-like eyes, he quickly coughed twice.

"Anna, you stay with Sizi and get her a piece of cake. I'm going out to take care of something."

"Ah."

The cakes he gives can turn people into maids, while the cakes Anna gives are just ordinary cakes.

With a thought, he returned to the Marvel universe, and a huge face appeared in front of him as soon as he arrived.

"Holy crap..."

He instinctively raised his arm and slapped him, but when he realized what was happening, he quickly pulled his hand back. However, the wind pressure generated at high speed still distorted and deformed the big face.

"Master Modu, do you know that you can scare someone to death? You almost died!"

Given the physical abilities of spellcasters like those in Marvel's Kamar-Taj, if that slap had actually landed, Yang Bo was certain that Mordo's head would have exploded like a watermelon stuffed with a firecracker.

"I want it! Give it to me!"

Modu didn't care about his life or death just now at all, and with dark circles under his eyes and a tired face, he uttered wild and inhuman words.
