The emperor of the Tang Dynasty encountered the most "outrageous" birthday party in history. The queen eloped for her first love, the general faked his death and killed his wife in order to have sex, and his sons competed with each other in bizarre ways. The fifth prince was kidnapped by a "traveler" who wanted to use his uncanny skills to claim credit; the eldest and second prince actually fought openly over the same green tea woman and even clamored to abandon the country. Faced with this group of "madmen" who regarded imperial power as nothing, the emperor no longer tolerated it. He used thunderous means to purge the palace, kill the rebels, and re-establish the absolute majesty of the emperor amidst the panic of the whole court.
