The History of the Tang Dynasty Is Not Like Smoke·part 2: the Long Song of Zhenguan (Revised Edition)

"The History of the Tang Dynasty is Not Like Smoke" tells the history of the Tang Dynasty in a relaxed and humorous way. This is the second volume. Starting from Li Shimin's suppression of domestic rebellion and launching the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion, it describes in detail the glory of the Zhenguan Dynasty. In Li Shimin's court, civil servants ruled the world, and military generals made meritorious deeds. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and other good ministers wrote immortal legends. They conquered the Eastern Turks in the west, destroyed the country of Tuyuhun, and Tian Khan became famous all over the world. There were also great explorations of people-oriented government, Xuanzang's extraordinary feat of traveling westward to seek the law, and Wang Xuance's shocking journey of destroying a country by one man. Although there were personal conquests of Goguryeo that ended in an anticlimax, and princes vying for the throne with swords and swords, these did not detract from the rule of Zhenguan as an eternal prosperous age, and the lofty status of Tang Taizong as an eternal wise king in Chinese history.
