In the tenth year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson Queen passed away. Li Chengqian suffered from leg problems and had a surly temperament. The throne was in danger.
Without supernatural powers, relying on modern governance logic, historical prophets, and combined knowledge of science, industry, and agriculture, he sent Hu Nu and Jue Ge to break the estrangement between father and son. He then dug out talents from poor families, formed famous military generals, and took charge of technical workshops to stabilize his position and build a team.
Putting the people first to break the situation, promote agricultural science reforms, clear land and households, reform taxes and consolidate the foundation, and dismantle the economic monopoly of the gentry; promote education, reform the imperial examinations, reorganize the government, and strengthen the military, break the shackles of power of the clan, and reverse the fate of rebellion.
Externally, he established Mobei, connected the Western Regions, surrendered to Tibet, pacified Liaodong, expanded the maritime territory and restructured the order of East Asia; internally, he ascended the throne, established Yongxi, established new rules, promoted science and technology, and established a prosperous era of multi-ethnic unification.
From the desperate prince to the Khan of Heaven, watch Li Chengqian use gradual reforms to break the shackles of the noble clan for thousands of years, create a Tang Dynasty where all nations sincerely surrender, and write the legend of Yongxi that far surpasses Zhenguan!
