Yang Guang binds to a System, which reveals the coming threat of his dynasty’s collapse from the start and lets him get the measure of all the aristocratic clans.
Pei Yuanqing refuses to accept him as Imperial Tutor and attacks with his silver hammers. I knock him into submission with one backhanded swing of my thousand-catty bronze figurine, and he swears to follow me to his death.
Li Yuan forces his way into court and plots rebellion. I produce the defense plans and eyewitnesses, crushing the Li family’s ambitions and ensuring they never dare rebel again.
When a hundred thousand Turkic cavalry launch a fierce assault on Yanmen, I order Li Shimin to hold the pass while I personally lead the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun in a surprise attack on Dingxiang, wiping out the Turks’ lair in one stroke.
Disdainful of the infighting in the Central Plains, I bring down the Tang Dynasty and crush the aristocratic clans. With Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and a host of fierce generals, I sweep across the seas and grant fiefs to ten thousand nations overseas.
Once my empire is established, I’ll marry three consorts in a grand wedding. Wherever the Sui cavalry rides, it will flatten the entire world!
