After Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, went all-in on “digging canals, conquering Goguryeo, and going on royal tours,” he successfully squandered the empire's fortune and turned the whole realm into a boiling “hotpot of chaos”! Li Mi, the “returnee” from Wagang; Dou Jiande, Hebei's “man of honor”; and Wang Shichong, Luoyang's “old fox,” are among the hotpot king hopefuls, all scrambling for a ladle.
In Taiyuan, the laid-back old Li Yuan is putting on an award-winning performance, acting like an obedient fool by indulging in wine and women and taking bribes, all to keep his head down under the watchful eye of his nephew, Emperor Yang of Sui. But his fired-up son Li Shimin is going crazy: “Dad! Stop taking it easy! If you keep pretending, we won't even get a taste of the hotpot broth!”
Just as old Li continues his performance art of drunken debauchery, an imperial edict from Jiangdu arrives, demanding his life! The laid-back old Li's hand trembles, and he puts down his teacup. Beside him are Li Shimin, eyes blazing, and his grinning troublemaking friend Pei Ji...
Well, he can't keep up the act anymore! This hotpot of chaos is boiling over, so Taiyuan's main course has to go in! Watch this delightfully mismatched duo, the laid-back dad and the fired-up son, cook up a brand-new empire in the most chaotic of times and kick off three hundred years of the Tang dynasty, packed with both comedy and passion!
The style is very novel, the writing is light and the historical plot is handled very rigorously! Like it! Big thumbs up!! Keep up the good work and update it!
