Tang Dynasty: Mistaking Li Shimin for My Father, I Became Governor of Asia

Transmigrated into the Tang Dynasty, Su Zhe wanted nothing more than to live a life of leisure and ease. Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man calling himself "Old Li" arrived at his door with a family heirloom, claiming he wished to make amends. From that day forward, the most cunning emperor of the Tang gained a rebellious son who constantly hoped for his demise and criticized his every move. When Emperor Li advocated for frugality, Su Zhe retorted sharply, "You're stealing virtue from the poor! My mother was deceived by empty promises from a scoundrel just like you!" Faced with a devastating locust plague, Su Zhe scoffed in disdain, "Raise ducks! How did someone with your intellect become a high official? Resign and go home before your downfall implicates me!" When the Turkic tribes threatened the borders, Su Zhe held out his hand and demanded, "Pay up! Ten thousand strings of cash, and I'll teach you how to wage war. Refuse, and face confiscation and annihilation!" Through divine methods to eradicate locusts, high-yield miracle rice, brilliant strategies against the Turks, and policies to strengthen the nation, the empire grew stronger with every scheme the rebellious son devised. Su Zhe spent his days hoping his cheap father would pass away soon so he could inherit a vast fortune and finally relax in peace. That is, until one day when the Crown Prince's ceremonial procession knocked on his door, presenting him with royal vestments. Su Zhe exclaimed in disbelief, "Wasn't I trying to ruin my father? How did I end up ruining myself into becoming the Crown Prince instead!"
