Chapter 110 - 110 106 The Emperors Past
?Chapter 110: Chapter 106: The Emperor’s Past Chapter 110: Chapter 106: The Emperor’s Past By the time the Restoration Emperor, Li Runlong, reached the heavens, he had passed the throne to the Crown Prince, Li Gongnong. However, before Li Gongnong could firmly establish himself as Emperor, he was overthrown by Li Gai, who controlled the military. Li Gai launched a coup at Xuanwu Gate, successfully usurped the throne, and after assassinating the Crown Prince Li Gongnong, he declared himself Emperor—none other than the current Emperor Li Gai of Zhengji!
“So, the current Emperor Li Gai is not only a non-relative of the Li Clan but also someone who seized and ascended the throne through usurpation!”
It was fortunate to have learned the little-known secrets and scandals of the Great Tang and the Emperor from the lips of these three merchants. Otherwise, Li Ping’an would still be completely ignorant about this mysterious Emperor Li Gai. Now, he understood why the three merchants referred to him as someone from Peach Blossom Spring.
Upon learning such secrets, Li Ping’an immediately felt extreme disgust towards the current Emperor Li Gai:
To usurp power and rebel, yet fail to govern the world properly, and instead, by placing one’s will above the hearts of millions, to rule incompetently and indulgently, no wonder there are so many rebels in the world, no wonder the group to which Zhuge Weiwei belongs calls itself the Futang Group, determined to overthrow the Dog Emperor Li Gai, so it was for this reason; it also explains the bizarre experiences on this journey.
The three merchants continued:
Both Emperors of the Great Tang and the common people have practiced Buddhism, a tradition that has continued for nearly five hundred years, and it has been especially fervent in recent years. Moreover, the Emperors of the Great Tang have always claimed to be descendants of Laozi from Taoism and, in pursuit of Immortality, have also been obsessed with Taoism, vainly seeking eternal life.
Even though the current Emperor Li Gai usurped the throne and his claim to it is illegitimate, he still considers himself the rightful successor of the Li Tang dynasty and has maintained this tradition—outwardly practicing Buddhism while actually pursuing cultivation!
