When archaeological expert Shen Yan was excavating a secret tomb with thousands of gates from the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, he triggered a collapse of the structure. When he opened his eyes, he was transported to Chang'an City in the second year of Zhenguan.
At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the aftermath of the Xuanwu Gate Incident was still lingering, locust plagues were spreading all over the Guanzhong area, aristocratic families were annexing land, and Turks were watching from outside. On the eve of the prosperous age, undercurrents surged.
When other people travel through time, they either proclaim themselves emperors and rebel, or join the cabinet and worship the prime minister, but Shen Yan just wants to stick to his bottom line and rely on his own skills to settle down and make a living.
He helped the world with the "Qing Nang Sutra", judged people with the "Burial Sutra", recognized people with physiognomy, and single-handedly played a secret chess game involving a thousand sects and eight generals.
The upright general will decide the situation, the counterattack will be undercover, the general will be raised to attack the heart, the general will be exposed, the wind will send the message, the fire will break the situation, except for the general guarding the interior, the rumor will confuse the enemy.
He does not stand in court or hold military power, but he can overthrow corrupt powerful men with a game of chess, check and balance powerful families, and protect the stability of all people.
He hides himself in the city and hides himself in the city. Even Li Shimin, the first emperor of all ages, only knows that there is an anonymous "Mr. Shen" in Chang'an. He has a heart to save the world and has unparalleled wisdom. In the end, he only left a secret order: only monitor, do not hand over, and do not touch.
His name does not exist in the history books of Zhenguan's prosperous period.
But in the lights of thousands of families in Chang'an, the legend of the leader of thousands of families will always be circulated.
