The Five Dynasties in Troubled Times: I, Li Shimin, Recreated the Prosperous Tang Dynasty

In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin breathed his last on the hospital bed. When he opened his eyes again, he did not return to Chang'an, nor did he sit on the dragon throne. Instead, he became a teenage boy from a distant branch of the Tang Dynasty in the early years of the Later Liang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has died, and the clan has become a talisman of death. Zhu Liang hunted down the remnants of the old Tang Dynasty, feudal vassals and towns attacked each other, refugees were everywhere, and a child next to a grain cart was kicked into the mud for half a piece of dry biscuit. The former Tiance general now has no soldiers, no food, no status, and can't even say "unbridled". But the military flag will fall, the grain carts will be lost, and the defeated troops will disperse. Li Shimin stood up despite his injuries. The first military order was not to restore the Tang Dynasty or to proclaim himself emperor, but: "The archers are on board, the swordsmen are on the left, and the grain carts are not allowed to move." From seizing orders from the defeated army to abolishing the post and setting up a register; from a 17-member team to Wubao, county towns, and prefectures and towns; starting from a grain truck, a grain book, and a military discipline, he wanted to answer a question again in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties: Why did Tang Dynasty die? How should we live in this world? Zhu Wen, Li Cunxu, Yelu Abaoji, Guo Wei, Chai Rong, and Zhao Kuangyin were all not mediocre people. Li Shimin did not rely on the foreknowledge of later generations or the empty reputation of the old Tang Dynasty. He only relied on battlefield judgment, people's management, and system reconstruction to carve out new mountains and rivers from the mud step by step. This time, he not only wanted to help Datang. He wants to build a world that will no longer breed the chaos of the late Tang Dynasty.
