Great Tang: The Court Chronicler Is Suspicious, Every Move a Killer Blow

This book is also known as Li Er: Please Stop Roasting Me, My Tang Dynasty Is Already Unstoppable! Su Chen transmigrates to the early Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty and becomes a court diarist responsible for recording the emperor's words and actions. He plans to coast through life, clocking in on time every day and teaching part-time at the Imperial Academy. But who could have guessed that Li Shimin would be able to hear his thoughts? And so, the Tang court's entire atmosphere goes off the rails. Li Shimin: “Su Chen, I wish to win people over through virtue and make the four seas submit. What do you think?” 【Inner thoughts: Exactly! Martial virtue is virtue too. Just put a knife to Jiali Khan's throat and slap him around, and he'll be groveling in no time.】 Li Shimin's eye twitched. “Then... as The Art of War says, know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated?” Su Chen replied respectfully, “Your Majesty, that is the supreme principle of warfare.” 【Inner thoughts: Nonsense! As long as I silence everyone who knows my secrets, I'll never be in danger. That's what I call physically ensuring victory in every battle!】 Li Shimin: “...” As Su Chen's underhanded military tactics, such as “the highest good is like water” (meaning drown your enemies with water torture) and “the Dao follows nature” (meaning cripple them and bury them in the wilderness), keep coming to light, Li Shimin discovers that under this scheming historian's relentless roasting, the Tang Dynasty's borders have expanded all the way to Rome!
