Reader note

In the late Sui and Tang Dynasties, heroes competed for hegemony, fighting wits, courage and ruthlessness; Emperor Zhenguan and the young couple supported each other and strived for a peaceful and prosperous age for the people of the world. It is adapted from history, not a historical fiction. There is power, there is war, there is great justice. It comprehensively restores the scenes of Li Shimin's four major battles and how Li Shimin, a top hunter in front of the Xuanwu Gate, lured eight hundred scheming brothers and cunning father into his own circle to snipe at the fastest speed. Some descriptions are rather gory.

Tired of the old sayings about sweet love, "The Blind Doctor Visits the Capital: Records of the Emperor's Power" thoroughly writes about fate and human nature. The heroine, a blind doctor, endured thirty years of forbearance and traveled to Beijing to seek revenge. She could not see, but she uncovered all the hypocrisy in the palace. The emperor in charge of the world tried his best to save people's hearts, but only fell on her, who had a blood feud. The two started as each other's pawns, and in the confrontation and staying together, they glimpsed each other's loneliness. There is no love brain, no forced whitewashing, and the two people who are opposed to power and hatred heal each other with scars all over their bodies. The plot logic is tight, the emotions are forbearing and restrained, and the book leaves a long lasting aftertaste after reading it.

He is Zhao De, the fourth prince of the empire who is well-dressed and well-fed, but with an imperial order, he hides his name, abandons the honor of being a prince, and joins the battlefield. Starting from an unknown soldier at the bottom, he fought through bloody border crossings and narrowly escaped death, and with his brothers in life and death, he rose step by step in the war-torn world. We meet in the world of mortals, meet a confidant and beauties, hold the affection of our children, and hide the tenderness in our hearts. There are turbulent undercurrents in the court, brotherly suspicions, imperial power struggles, and aristocratic families; on the battlefield in troubled times, famous generals block the road, powerful enemies are around, and life and death are at stake. He has experienced the estrangement between father and son, the estrangement between brothers, the bondage of beauty, the life of close friends, and the fate of powerful enemies. From a humble soldier, he gradually gained military power, established prestige, controlled the frontiers, and shook up the government and the public. He broke through the chess game in troubled times and became king in the world's disputes. The golden thrones are within easy reach of each other; thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are within the palm of your hand. Is it to maintain sincerity and return power to the emperor? Is it to inherit the eternal legacy and ascend to the 9th Five-Year Plan? When the troubled times come to an end, and the world bows its head - I wonder who in this world would be better than me!
