When the only female emperor in Chinese history meets the rebels who ended the glory of the Tang Dynasty in the rift of time and space, what kind of dialogue will subvert cognition?
This book uses fictional historical encounters as an incision to break the centuries-old time and space barrier between "Wu Zhou" and "An-Shi Rebellion", allowing Wu Zetian and An Lushan, two controversial figures, to face each other head-on. The book does not list straightforward historical facts, but conducts in-depth discussions through the confrontation between the two: How would Wu Zetian view this "Hu general" who destroyed Li's empire? How would An Lushan view this "female emperor" who once subverted the patriarchal order? Their different understandings of power, dynasty, and betrayal will connect the secret logic from Wu Zhou's centralization of power to the decline of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, not only restoring Wu Zetian's iron fist and foresight in governing the country, but also analyzing the causes of the times behind An Lushan's rebellion.
It is not only a historical imagination full of tension, but also an in-depth interrogation of the nature of power - when two key figures standing at the turning point of a dynasty dialogue, the accidents and inevitability of history will eventually be presented to readers in a more vivid way.
