Li Ji, courtesy name Maogong, joined the Wagang Army in his youth and helped devise strategies to fight the Sui dynasty. Later, he pledged his allegiance to Li Shimin, advising him from behind the scenes as he crushed the rival forces. After the Tang dynasty was founded, Li Ji tirelessly led campaign after campaign, consolidating and expanding its territory. He served three generations of Tang emperors, Gaozu, Taizong, and Gaozong, rising from general to chancellor. He expanded the borders, secured the realm, and rendered outstanding service. Steady, sharp-witted, and uncannily perceptive, he never took credit for his achievements or grew conceited. Disciplined and principled, he saw everything through to the end and earned the admiration of later generations.
Spanning a vast stretch of history, this book depicts both the debauchery of Emperor Yang of Sui and the “Xuanwu Gate Incident,” in which brothers turned against one another, as well as Wu Zetian's rise to the throne. Like a vivid historical panorama, it is both true to life and thought-provoking. Its glimpses of the warmth and coldness of human nature will leave you reflecting, while the sweeping changes of an era will astonish you. And once you close the book, you will find yourself sighing again and again!
It's great, it sounds great, thank you to the author, give the author a thumbs up
The writing is so good and thought-provoking. I still want to read it. Life's encounters are so elusive!!!
The book also writes about many historical events, such as the debauchery of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the Xuanwu Gate Incident, which gave me a deeper understanding of that era. I can especially understand Xu Maogong's worry about Yuan Ziyan. This emotion is very real. I have experienced similar things, and I understand the feeling of concern and longing. This book allowed me to see the vicissitudes of history and the warmth and warmth of human relationships. It is worth reading.
It seems that this kind of novel can still inspire people.
Although exaggerated and slightly inadequate, it is also thought-provoking and witnesses the wisdom and courage of the ancients.
There aren't many historical novels like this, but they seem interesting and refreshing.
The plot is clear, the storyline is clear,
This book is rich in content and worth reading
1. I like it very much. I love to listen to it.
If they coincide with each other and do not declare it, great things will happen.
