Li Mo, a doctoral student in the Department of History, woke up and became a well-known "trash" in Chang'an City during the prosperous Tang Dynasty - he was thrown into a cesspit by the rich and powerful's children, living in a leaky shabby courtyard with only three copper coins in his pocket.
But he found that everyone loves poetry in this era. A good poem can be exchanged for wine, money, a smile from a beautiful woman, and even the favor of a powerful person.
Therefore, he "borrowed" the swan song of the poet immortal of later generations, and moved the capital with his song in Pingkangfang, and was exclaimed by He Zhizhang as "relegated immortal"; he fought with Li Bai over wine to discuss poetry, and the poet immortal was defeated; he offered a clever plan for the prince, and competed with Li Linfu in a battle of wits and courage in the court.
Everyone thought he was just a talented poet.
Until the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Chang'an fell, and the emperor fled westward.
Li Mo stood on the devastated city wall and took off the mask of the "poet". He knows every turn and every trap of this history. He borrowed Huihe cavalry to assist Prince Lingwu in ascending the throne, used gunpowder to blow open the rebel city gates, and used his knowledge of economics to prop up the treasury of an exiled court.
Li Bai asked him: "Are you a poet or a counselor?"
Du Fu sighed: "Without Li Mo, I don't know how many people in the world would be emperors."
But he just smiled and continued to write "New Code of the Prosperous Age" at his desk - what he wanted was not to be a passer-by, but to personally contribute to the glory of this glorious era for another three hundred years.
This is the story of a man who used his talent to rewrite the fate of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Poems are swords and history books are shields. Let's see how Li Mo climbed up from the cesspit and wrote the whole world into his own chapter.
