Characters and summary: A liberal arts tyrant traveled to the late Sui Dynasty and became a slave of Li Jing. Later he met Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and other heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He experienced the capture of two kings in one battle, the Xuanwumen Incident, the North's destruction of the East Turks, and the Zhenguan Reign. He was a humble citizen. During the turbulent Sui and Tang Dynasties, how did he use his wit and cleverness to navigate among big shots, fights for power in the court, and wars?
And what kind of inextricable relationship will the famous strange women in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Empress Xiao, Empress Changsun, and Princess Pingyang have with him?
This work contains both laughter and tears, magnificent historical events, and the joys and sorrows of small people; there are the sufferings of ordinary people struggling to survive in troubled times, and there are also heroes who grow up against the odds regardless of their origins. It can be called the Tang Dynasty version of "From Slave to General."
