In 908 AD, Jin King Li Keyong died with hatred. Before his death, he handed three arrows to his 23-year-old son Li Cunxu and asked him to destroy three enemies: the ungrateful Liu Rengong, the Khitan Abaoji who betrayed his alliance, and the feudal Zhu Wen who usurped the Tang Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor.
Everyone felt that this young man could not keep up the mess left by his father. The uncle conspired to seize the throne, powerful enemies were eyeing him, and even his biological mother was secretly preparing for a retreat. It only took Li Cunxu one night to silence all those who looked down on him.
In the following fifteen years, he became the most feared name in the world. A surprise attack on Luzhou, Baixiang deity, captured Liu Rengong alive, defeated the Khitan's 100,000 cavalry, and finally destroyed Liang in one fell swoop and unified the north. The young man holding three arrows finally ascended to the position of emperor, and his country was named Datang.
However, no one expected that this God of War, who could defeat everyone in the world, would eventually lose to himself.
After ascending the throne, Li Cunxu seemed to be a new person. He ignored government affairs and hung out with actors all day long, putting on makeup and singing on stage. He even gave himself the stage name "Li Tianxia". Loyal ministers were alienated, actors became governors, queens openly sold their positions, and soldiers who fought bloody battles could not even receive military pay. The brothers who fought side by side in the past were forced to rebel one by one.
It took him fifteen years to reach the peak and only three years to push himself off the cliff.
In 926 AD, the actors he single-handedly promoted launched a rebellion. In the midst of the revolt, the once invincible emperor was wounded and fell beside the stage at the age of forty-two.
Before he died, he suddenly remembered those three arrows.
He fulfilled all his father's instructions, but lost something more important than revenge.
