In distant ancient times, there was a dynasty chat group. This chat group is composed of many emperors and nobles, who communicate and discuss in the group every day. In this chat group, everyone talks about a wide range of topics. Some will share their country's political conditions and economic developments, while others will share their life stories and exploits. One day, an emperor delivered a speech in the group. He talked about his experience and achievements in governing the country, which attracted everyone's praise and congratulations. But soon, another emperor began to show up, but he questioned the former's speech. In the group, the two emperors had a heated debate about this. They each state their own opinions and compete for the support of others in the group. And in this debate, more people began to join in. Some nobles also stood up to express their views. More and more people were present, and the atmosphere became more intense. Finally, with the mediation of the third emperor, the debate ended peacefully. Although each retained their own positions, they also learned to respect each other's views and even became each other's friends. Since then, this dynasty chat group has become a platform for communication and learning, where people continue to grow and improve, jointly promoting the prosperity and development of the entire empire.

Reader note
(History + fictional history + fantasy + strategy + battle development) The background of this article is similar to the last years of Li Zhi in the Tang Dynasty to the Anshi Rebellion. During Li Zhi's reign, he successively destroyed the Western Turks (657 years), Baekje (660 years), and Goguryeo (668 years), making the Tang Dynasty's territory the largest. However, since the first year of Xianheng (670), the Four Towns of Anxi, Tuyuhun and other areas have been successively captured by the Tibetan War God Qinling. The Tang Dynasty's territory in the Western Regions declined and was defeated by Silla and lost the Korean Peninsula. They also listened to the slander and killed the surrendered East Turkic Khan Ashina Funen, which led to the East Turks rebelling against the Tang and becoming independent, establishing the Post-Turkic Khanate, and infringing on the Tang Dynasty's borders for many years. I am a programmer and a writer. So they may want to highlight how their professional background can be integrated into novel creation, such as topological-level logic verification, self-consistent occult systems, and sophisticated foreshadowing. These are the key differences from other fantasy novels and historical novels
