A Tang Dynasty County Magistrate of the Seventh Rank: I Beheaded the Retired Emperor from the Start

After Li Zhi transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty, he became a seventh-rank county magistrate. Under his administration, his small county underwent tremendous changes, and his name spread far and wide.

Li Zhi: "Well, suppose Li Er wasn't Li Yuan's biological son..."
