Sui and Tang: The Great Ruler

Ideas far ahead of their time, shining with incomparable brilliance, earned the reverence of the great aristocratic clans! An unyielding will forged the legend of someone who stood firm in court! A resilient, stubborn nature refined his character time and again through trials of blood and fire! His bold, easygoing manner made foreigners and outsiders willingly prostrate themselves at his feet! A history book written hundreds of years later recorded these words: “Li Xiang was born in a troubled age. Clever from childhood, quick-witted, and decisive, he cultivated virtue as a boy, rendered meritorious service in his youth, and established his principles in his prime. With his own abilities, he strengthened the army; with the power of his family, he strengthened the nation. The foremost figure of a golden age, beyond all doubt.” Li Xiang said, “With a wave of my sleeve, tell them I’m Li Xiang!”
