[Historical imagination + Machiavellian hegemony + Decisive killing + System plug-in + Empress cultivation + Invincible crushing]
As soon as Li Ping'an traveled to the Zhenguan period, he was intercepted and killed by dead soldiers along with the convoy entering the palace.
In the carriage, the future empress Wu Meiniang was about to die under a knife.
At the critical moment, Li Ping'an awakened the [Power to All] system, integrated Xiang Yu's military power at the beginning, killed dozens of dead soldiers with one halberd, and rescued Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang grabbed his hand: "What's your name?"
"Li Pingan!"
"Are you willing to help me?" Wu Meiniang's eyes were full of temptation.
With meritorious service in escorting him, he changed from a bodyguard to a captain of the imperial army. He was transferred to his side by Wu Meiniang and got involved in harem battles and princeling battles.
Solving conspiracies, investigating salt cases, purging corrupt officials, and raiding aristocratic families, every time Li Ping'an controls a bit of power, the system can unlock templates for ordnance, intelligence, dead soldiers, and famous ministers.
Changsun Wuji wanted him dead, so Li Ping'an followed the clues and overthrew his party members; when the Turkic army pressed on, he led three thousand black-armored cavalry into the enemy camp; when Wu Meiniang was trapped in the harem, he cut off all the hands that were stretched out for her.
From being the leader of a hundred cavalry and a hundred households to being in charge of six ministries, from a border officer to a military official, Li Ping'an stepped into the center of power of the Tang Dynasty.
