This decision made Li Chengze extremely angry - he was destined to be unable to succumb to the power struggle of the Queen Mother and was destined to break this shackles. He secretly made up his mind that if he wanted to make peace, he would personally lead an expedition and declare war on the conspiracy between Tang Dynasty and Mongolia.
However, Li Chengze knew that everything was not that simple. Before leaving Chang'an, he had noticed an undercurrent in the palace. He didn't know who was plotting in the palace, and it seemed that every move was being monitored.

The expectations of his parents and the intrigues of the palace gradually pushed him into a situation from which he could not turn back. On this counterattack path full of dangers and opportunities, can Li Chengze break through the shackles of fate, finally ascend to the throne of the Tang Dynasty and achieve his great achievements?
