In the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty, storms were about to come. In 617 AD, war broke out all over the world, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty indulged in sensuality, people starved to death everywhere, rebels rose up, and the empire collapsed amidst singing and dancing. Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan, originally only seeking to protect himself, but under the oppression of internal and external troubles, he embarked on the road of rebellion against the Sui Dynasty. His second son, Li Shimin, was only nineteen years old, but he showed his sharpness and advocated raising troops to conquer Hedong in one battle, which shocked Guanzhong. On the turbulent land, Chang'an, the heart of the empire, is in turmoil. The officials in the court and the hearts of the people are shaken. Powerful ministers wait and see, generals ask for orders, counselors set up plans, and people are panicked. The reconstruction of power behind a prosperous era begins.
This book begins with the rise of troops in Taiyuan and takes the replacement of the empire as its basis, truly restoring the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty on the eve of its founding.
This is not a simple epic of troubled times, but a historical and fateful drama about faith, betrayal and choice.
——"The Empire Will End" is written for all those who struggle and rise in the torrent of history.
