Do you think the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty was when all the nations came to court, or was it about singing and dancing and peace? Against this seemingly glorious background, what kind of undercurrents are surging in the waters of Datang? How many bloodthirsty scimitars are hidden in the Tubo messenger's token? How can the fish charm in the feudal town covet the bright moon in Chang'an? How many murderous intentions are waving in the folding fans of the powerful people in the court? What kind of emperor's thoughts are reflected on the jade ring of the eunuch Ouchi? How do concubines in the harem dance gracefully on the sword tip of a palace fight? This book is set on Longyou Road in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. It uses an official historical vision and uses a relaxed, humorous and slightly ridiculing writing style to describe how a proud empire was driven crazy step by step by Tubo, vassal towns, eunuchs, powerful ministers, and the harem. The full text takes Longyou Road as the starting point, advances the twists and turns, and ends with some historical events that actually happened in Pingliang, the jurisdiction of Longyou Road. It attempts to open up the dusty history with one's own hands and let everyone witness how this turbulent dynasty stirred up thousands of magnificent waves in a place that is easily ignored by the world. Let these few words and phrases that only exist in history books show the spirituality and vitality they should have. Tang Dynasty: I live in a prosperous age, when all nations come to court and sing and dance to bring peace. (I have no confidants, only serious troubles!)
Tubo: That's what you say (please ask, do you agree with the scimitar I carry around my waist?)
Fanzhen: Yes, yes (you have the fish charm in hand, if you have the ability, keep the lights on in Chang'an, don't blink yourself)
Powerful Minister: The prosperous age (swing the fan, a coincidence, another one dies)
Eunuch: Tens of thousands of years (with a turn of the jade wrench, the boy from the Li family, the feng shui will turn around, playing

As an author, what I want to say is that our understanding of the Tang Dynasty must be firm, objective, and true to history, and not be blinded by many film and television works.
If you were given a chance to time travel and faced with such many crises, would you be equally defeated, or would you perform well? [Laughing]
