Good-for-nothing Yang Damao transmigrates into the body of a “bandit prince.” His makeshift court treats cinnabar-drawn talismans as imperial edicts and brings a missing-cattle case before the throne, until the authorities smash their farce with a single stroke. He grabs his “empress mother” and flees into the hills.
With thirty-seven desperate fugitives, he sheds blood at White Stone Valley to establish his authority. Stealing, robbing, and cheating become his three rules. One blast from an improvised landmine turns refugees into an army. He seizes the opportunity while Li and Dou are locked in battle, raiding both their homes, and Yang Guang names him Prince of Yan.
The six armies line up: Qin Qiong, Yuchi, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Heita, Shitou, and Luo Cheng. Forty thousand fierce warriors bow before him. Li Xiuning, Dou Xian'niang, Princess Yicheng, Hong Fu, Changsun Wugou, Empress Xiao, and Aunt Wu: he takes lovers young and old, weaving love and hate into a web of political intrigue.
With Empress Xiao at his side and the imperial seal in hand, he governs with the shrewdness of the streets: laws paired with comics, a one-in-ten tax, state-run mines and salt, and compulsory basic education.
He ascends the throne and carries on the Sui, choosing the reign title Shitong. The “Tong” may be the “tong” of a streetwise rogue, but he warns the crown prince: “This realm was won with blood on the blade. Anyone who lets the people go hungry will be killed!”
From orphan in a mountain ravine to founding emperor, he uses the dirtiest tricks to achieve the most audacious imperial ambitions.
If you want to be honest, just take a look. Li Shimin has repeatedly played the protagonist and killed so many people just because of one Li Xiuning. It is really true.
Da Mao, Er Gou, and Goudan dominate the world, shocking the past and present, sweeping across the wilderness, and swallowing thousands of miles 🤭 🤭
It looks like Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, so beautiful! Add beauties such as Changsun Wugu, Xiao Meiniang, and Princess!!
The writing style is good in every aspect, I like it👍🏻
