Liu Feng, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty for four years and became the neglected third prince Li Feng in the palace.
At this time, Wu Zetian had just entered the palace and had not yet taken power. Changsun Wuji and other Guanlong nobles controlled the government. Li Feng relied on his prediction of the direction of history and his knowledge reserve spanning thousands of years. He started to make a name for himself by improving the charcoal stoves and water leaks in the palace, and gained the attention of Emperor Gaozong.
He was sent to Lantian as county magistrate and started from the bottom - dredging old canals, improving farm tools, and promoting new agricultural methods, which increased Lantian's grain production by 40%; he founded a trading company to accumulate wealth, opened mills, and opened up trade routes; he secretly discovered jade mines and established an economic foundation; he recruited talents from poor families to build his own team.
In a series of major historical events such as the turmoil after the establishment of the Republic of China and the purge of the court, Li Feng skillfully dealt with various forces such as Wu Zetian, Changsun Wuji, and Li Ji. He was submissive on the surface but secretly planned. He first granted the title of King of Shu to manage Bashu, and then granted the title of King of Jin to build the northern defense line, establish a new army, and use modern concepts to create elite armed forces.
In the later years of Emperor Gaozong, Wu Zetian's power was overwhelming. Li Feng, as the emperor's uncle, united forces loyal to Li Tang. With the economic, military and talent foundation of many years of operation, he gradually took control of the government while ensuring that the country would not be divided. In the end, he was appointed as the emperor's younger brother. After Wu Zetian's death, he inherited the throne and implemented constitutional monarchy reforms. The Tang Dynasty entered an era of unprecedented prosperity.
