The song "Poppy Poppy" is not only the sound of the subjugation of the country, but also the prelude to the restoration of the Tang Dynasty. See how Li Yu transformed from a prisoner to a "fate-defying lord" who continued the three-hundred-year prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. He turned the tide while living an ignoble existence, using blood, tears and obsession to write an imperial legend that spanned life and death.
From then on, the poet monarch, who only knew "romance, flowers, snow and moon" in the past, hid his tenderness for half a lifetime, using sorrow as his blade and tolerance as his armor. He hid the imperial seal of the Southern Tang Dynasty, secretly sent his old servants to contact the old troops in Suzhou, and used the golden map between the words of "Yu Meiren" to guide the remaining troops to find the soldiers, armor and grain that Tang Xuanzong had buried; he pretended to be in ruins, and under the supervision of Bianliang, weaved a dense network across Wuyue and connected the feudal towns, turning ten years of forbearance into a careful layout.
This is a reversal from the cage to the country: he once shed tears for "the motherland cannot bear to look back", but in the end, with the tenacity of "a river of spring water", he gathered thousands of old troops and raised the banner of the Tang Dynasty in troubled times; he once promised to protect Xiao Zhouhou throughout his life, and finally guarded the love in the flames of war with the restoration of the prosperous country.
