About This Novel

Chang'an in Tianbao's ninth year was not the final chapter of the prosperous era recorded in history books, but a huge city hollowed out by undercurrents. The old gate of Guanlong and the new nobles of Shandong are at odds with each other in the court. The eunuchs write, the generals control the troops, and Hu Shang controls the market. The three-strand rope tightens the center. Outside the city, the military towns in Shuofang and Hexi were in charge of their own affairs, and the Uighurs and Tubos were at war with each other on the border. The fleet of the city shipping envoys transported gold and silver to Persia, but carried rumors and ambitions back to Chang'an. In the city, Hu Ji's pipa and Taichang's elegant music compete for the eardrums, and the flames of the Zoroastrian Temple and the incense of the Taoist temple compete for the sky. The currency becomes thinner due to inflation, nobles become lazy in the shadow, farmland is annexed by manors, and refugees form villages outside the passes. There is a secret circulating among the people: The "Shanhe Strategy" left by Taizong is not a strategy for governing the country, but a set of layout maps that can leverage the fate of the dynasty, hidden among the twelve earth nodes. When time travelers step into this situation, they must not only face institutional inertia, but also contend with an interest network that spans hundreds of years. Chang'an is a precision clock. Every gear is rusty, but it still moves forward with inertia. Once a wrong pointer is pried, the entire city will disintegrate into fragments of feudal towns and troubled times in advance.
