A modern history buff’s soul transmigrates into the body of Li Ye, Emperor Zhaozong of Tang. The moment he opens his eyes, he sees the Tang Dynasty in its final days teetering on the edge of ruin: Chang'an’s palace halls lie in disrepair, eunuchs control the imperial guards and throw the government into chaos, warlords such as Zhu Wen and Li Keyong circle like ravenous wolves, the people are displaced, and signs of the dynasty’s collapse are everywhere.
In the history books, he is the last emperor to be murdered, and the Tang Dynasty meets its end under his watch.
But the soul on the dragon throne now carries the memories and resentment of someone from a thousand years in the future.
“As long as I live, the Tang Dynasty lives!”
First, he eliminates the eunuch faction and uses an iron fist to clean up officialdom, bringing clarity back to the rotting court. He trains a new, powerful army and improves its weapons, carving out a way forward between the warlords. He lightens taxes and labor duties, builds waterworks, and rekindles the people’s loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.
Against Zhu Wen, he uses strategy to thwart his schemes and personally leads an expedition that forces the warlord to retreat. With Li Keyong, he combines favor and authority, turning a formidable enemy into a shield. Against threats on the frontier, he makes the empire’s might known beyond the passes and restores the aura of the Heavenly Khan.
When envoys from every nation come to pay tribute and the people pledge their hearts to him, Li Ye stands in the Daming Palace and declares with a smile, “Three hundred years is too short. I will build another golden age of the Tang!”
This is a desperate counterattack against fate, a legendary tale of a crumbling Tang Dynasty rising once more to shine through the ages!
This is the first time I have seen such a weird novel.
It is relatively good when it comes to writing about the last years of the Tang Dynasty. There is no system and I have to rely entirely on myself, and the whole text is relatively logical. The pace of the whole text is slightly faster, and the unification progress is very fast. It's still better to read.
The connection between ancient and modern times is very warm
Very pretty. Worth a look.
