Synopsis

Hardcore historical fiction + no System + Li Longji

Following his grandfather's example, he began at Xuanwu Gate, killing Empress Wei, his aunt, his brothers... He forged his way through bloodshed and hardship to create the Kaiyuan era of prosperity.

Yao Chong and Song Jing governed the empire for him. Li Bai and Du Fu wrote poems for him. Yang Yuhuan danced for him... until An Lushan's cavalry broke through Tong Pass, and the dazzling age finally went dark.

He defeated everyone else, only to lose to himself in the end.

Books That Reflect Real History

I'm looking for books similar to "Understanding the Turbulent Three Kingdoms Through a Single Set of Books (7 Volumes)". I want history books that reflect real history without too much artistic embellishment. Excessive distortions of the facts rob reading of its meaning and distort one's values.
