Synopsis

During the Kaiyuan era of the Tang dynasty, in Liangzhou. Zhao Chenglong, Left Deputy Commandant of the Zhechong Prefecture, died an unjust death. His wife, Song Wen, was devastated. Overcome with grief, she hanged herself, leaving behind their orphaned son, Zhao Qingyun. Fearing retribution from Yang Guozhong, Tian Feng, and the others, his great-uncle Song Wu took Zhao Qingyun north. They eventually ended up in Xifeng Town, Liucheng County, Yingzhou. A few years later, the An Lushan Rebellion broke out. The court was thrown into turmoil, the people lived in misery, and the land was ravaged by suffering. The Tang dynasty teetered on the brink of collapse. In this chaotic age, see how Zhao Qingyun avenges his family, earns distinction, and defends his homeland. Starting out as a ninth-rank Renyong Commandant, he endures countless hardships, wins battle after battle, and rises through the ranks until he becomes the Supreme General of the Heavenly Strategies, is made a prince, and earns renown throughout the land as a peerless god of war. Along the way, he kicks his enemy Yang Guozhong and tears the villain Tian Feng apart with his bare hands, finally avenging his family in a stirring tale. He defeats An Lushan, thrashes Shi Siming, puts down the rebellion, and triumphs with all the world before him. He finds true love and marries Yujie, the beloved daughter of Guo Ziyi, Prince of Fenyang, creating a legendary romance that will endure for ages. He repays every debt, whether of vengeance or gratitude, and befriends Li Mufeng, Wang Qiang, Kong Lingfang, Zhang Xiaolin, and a host of sworn brothers, following in the footsteps of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Every joke and scolding he utters becomes a witty line, and every word he speaks turns into fine prose. He fights the Turks at the borders of Liucheng County and meets Old Fang in Xifeng Town. He makes his name throughout the land, then steps away from power at the height of his success, shaking the world. Looking back, he is filled with emotion. The little plant that once sought shade beneath a great tree has now grown into a towering one, no longer afraid of any storm.

Honestly, Li Qiu Is Absolutely Unmatched in Tang Dynasty Stories

The way he portrays Changsun Wuji is so true to life. He's an uncle who serves his country, its people, his family, and his clan. This is the most realistic portrayal of Chancellor Changsun I've ever seen.
