Great Tang: My Entire Family Is Sentenced to Death? I Help Prince Jin Become Emperor

In the final years of Zhenguan, Pei Wuwang is framed by a powerful minister, thrown into the death cells of the Dali Temple, and sentenced to execution in autumn.

To make life in prison more comfortable, he casually tricks Li Zhi, a young prison guard who has just arrived to lie low, into doing a little extracurricular homework.

"What do we do about the Turks constantly invading our borders? Easy. Take this gunpowder recipe and give them a little taste of physical shock!"

"How do we break the aristocratic clans' stranglehold on the court? Reform the imperial examinations and start a royal newspaper. Dig up their roots!"

Pei Wuwang only wants to live out his days peacefully in the death cells, casually take Di Renjie on as a junior follower, and guide Wu Meiniang to power.

But as the young prison guard turns in increasingly outrageous "homework," the entire Great Tang court is thrown into chaos, and powerful ministers and aristocratic clans crumble one after another.

Until one day, Great Tang Emperor Li Shimin can no longer sit still.

He disguises himself and sneaks into the condemned prisoners' cell, just in time to hear Pei Wuwang discussing The Great Tang Global Colonization Plan and The Art of Imperial Rule.

Li Shimin breaks into a cold sweat, then excitedly kicks the cell door open.

"With such world-shaking talent, why don't you take the throne of the Great Tang?"
