The History of the Tang Dynasty Is at a Turning Point: Thirty Bloody Years

In the 19th year of Zhenguan, the world was still in the afterglow of Li Shimin. No one expected that this seemingly prosperous moment had actually laid the foundation for the next thirty years of the Tang Dynasty. That year, the Tang army marched eastward to Goguryeo. Xue Rengui fought in white and earned the title of "little general in white robes" from the snowy plains of Liaodong. Also in that year, the battle for the throne between Wei Wang Li Tai and Prince Li Chengqian had soaked the palace walls of Chang'an. Before Taizong became seriously ill, no one noticed that behind the prince stood a woman coming out of Ganye Temple. Her name is Wu Mei. From the talented person of Taizong to the empress of Gaozong, every step she took was not protected by someone. She waited for Li Zhi in the Hanfeng Palace, counted people's hearts for him in the deep palace, and said the unspeakable words for him in front of Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. And when Goguryeo fell and the four towns of Anxi were at war again, and the Manchu Dynasty only knew about "the legacy of the late emperor" and "opening up the territory", it was she who, under the infamy of "women intervening in politics" and "female chicken minister", slowly shifted the national policy of the Tang Dynasty back to the fields from horseback.
