A book that will take you through three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty with laughter
If the Tang Dynasty had a circle of friends, the painting style would probably be like this——
Yang Guang: Building the canal, creating the imperial examination, conquering Goguryeo, all the KPIs were fulfilled, but the company went bankrupt.
Li Yuan: The Buddhist father who was forced to start a business accidentally became the founding emperor.
Li Shimin: The most powerful "second generation" in history, the Xuanwu Sect caused trouble and turned into an emperor for the ages.
Wei Zheng: The first person to criticize his boss professionally. He scolded Li Shimin more than 200 times a year, and his boss still had to give him a thumbs up.
Li Jing: A God of War employee who goes home to write a book after a war and never works overtime.
Li Zhi: A frail and sickly "little transparent" married his father's talented man, but ended up giving his country to his wife.
Wu Zetian: From nun to queen, she kicked through the ceiling of the workplace.
Li Longji: A domineering president in the first half of his life, but suffered "company delisting" in the second half of his life.
Concubine Yang: The most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty, she eventually became the "scapegoat".
An Lushan: A nimble fat man of 300 pounds, he recognized his godmother, danced the Hu Xuan dance, and stabbed the Tang Dynasty through with his backhand.
