Twin Dragons of the Late Tang: I Transmigrate Alongside Li Shimin

In the twenty-third year of the Zhenguan era, 649 AD.

Li Shimin died in the Lingyan Pavilion, bringing the Tang dynasty's finest age to an end.

In the first year of the Dazhong era, 847 AD.

The eunuch Ma Yuanzhi stood before the imperial bed, holding a bowl of medicine.

Outside the hall, the eighty thousand soldiers of the Shence Army obeyed his commands alone.

Tibetan cavalry had stormed Fengxiang, and Chang'an lay less than three hundred miles away.

The three garrisons of Heshuo held back, while the great clans watched coldly from the sidelines.

No one believed the empire could survive.

That winter, two souls arrived in these ruins at the same time.

One came from the Zhenguan era, the other from 2024.

In a secret passage, an oil lamp burned through the night.

The history books recorded what happened next in just one line:

“In the winter of the first year of Dazhong, the emperor began to rule in person. Over the next ten years, the world was transformed.”

Black powder blasted open the city gates. Flintlock guns equipped the army. Steam engines roared across Guanzhong. Ironclad ships sailed into the East China Sea.

Some said the golden age of Zhenguan had returned.

But Bai Minzhong said, “This will be a Tang dynasty that shakes the whole world.”
