A big blue fish takes a modern man to Chang'an in the fourteenth year of Tianbao, where their journey begins at the execution platform by the market gates. From there, they face-slap corrupt ministers, trample An Lushan underfoot, punch the regional warlords, and set the old world ablaze, hauling the Tang dynasty out of the blood-soaked wreckage of the An Lushan Rebellion and turning it into an empire where the sun never sets. The guiding principle of the whole book: If anyone refuses to submit, beat them until they do. Whatever feels satisfying, that's how we'll do it!
