About This Novel
The "Xuanwumen Incident" was an extremely bloody and cruel palace coup in Chinese history. In front of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin made a precise layout and executed decisively, shooting an arrow through his brother's throat. In ancient China, there are countless incidents of violent seizure of political power. However, among those who violently seize power, few can achieve the brilliant results that Li Shimin did later. The "Government of Zhenguan" has been talked about by historians since ancient times. During his twenty-three-year reign, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was good at accepting advice and working hard to govern. He not only created a civilized political environment and a harmonious relationship between monarchs and ministers in the monarchy era, but also laid the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's three-hundred-year-old system. He also became a model for the Ming Dynasty in China for the next thousand years. The birth and development of the Zhenguan era were inseparable from Taizong's wisdom. But the word "wise" alone is not enough to explain all the reasons why Taizong was able to create such brilliant achievements, let alone the bloody killings in front of Xuanwu Gate. From the Xuanwumen incident to the Zhenguan period, what did Li Shimin experience?
