Hawking Eagles and Riding Horses Through the Late Tang

Cui Min wakes from a drunken stupor to discover that he has crossed through time and become the eldest son of the main branch of the top aristocratic Boling Cui clan in the Tang Dynasty.

The Northern Bureau holds the Southern Court in its grip? Emperor Yizong is the most incompetent ruler of the late Tang?

Cui Min beats the palace drum before Danfeng Gate, takes down a eunuch clan on the spot, whips the Right Army's Central Commander of the Shence Army into shape, and brings down Lu Yan, Emperor Yizong's chief chancellor.

And that's not all. On his very first day at court, he takes control of the Shence Right Army and sends the emperor and his ministers to kneel in the Ancestral Temple as punishment.

I'm not being arrogant. My surname is Cui, my given name Min.

The current emperor is my uncle on my mother's side and uncle by marriage, and the newly appointed Tang chancellor is my grandfather.

The Shence Army belongs to the Cui clan now. Tell me, are you convinced?

I just love you worthless fools: you can't stand me, but you can't do a thing about it.

Eunuchs in power? Warlords carving up the realm? Shatuo cavalry causing trouble again and again? The Khitan trying to make a move? The Silk Road cut off? The people starving?

With the Shence Army in my hands, the realm is mine.

Uncle, Your Majesty, just sit tight. Watch your humble subject ride out with his hawk and horse and take care of all these problems for you!
