   Reader note

   This book is a masterpiece of high-IQ protagonist suspense and multi-case novels. The protagonist is a brilliant detective, but he has his own assistant named Watson? Who would guess that these two are freshmen in college? In addition to constantly turning the tide in solving a series of major, mysterious, and unsolved cases, the detective is unintentionally drawn into the vortex of an international criminal group's frenzied plunder of national treasures. Whether it's thwarting heavily armed high-tech intruders, salvaging a pagoda that fell into the Yellow River under the cover of night, seeing through the thief's elusive tricks, or cleverly preventing a precious staff from falling into the hands of tomb raiders, all his actions are truly amazing. The detective has been repeatedly summoned to the capital by various powerful departments as their top-notch and ace detective. Whether it's his meticulous logical reasoning that swiftly solves cases and identifies the sole suspect at the scene, his cleverly devised schemes to successfully lure and capture special "guests" from abroad, or his miraculous capture of an "old friend" on the verge of escaping danger and defecting to the enemy at the estuary, his feats are truly breathtaking. Come on! Let's enter the wondrous world of "Detective Pete" together.

   Comparable to *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* and *Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties*, this masterpiece has the potential to be passed down through generations! *Emperor Renzu of Tang*, a nearly one-million-word novel completed in mid-September, is highly recommended. I suggest reading the comments section of the last chapter first, where the author provides a summary of the entire novel. The author's writing style, plot structure, imperial strategies, political maneuvering, emotional narratives, military warfare, court intrigue, and governance are all top-notch. His writing is astonishing, his scope grand, his themes lofty, his thoughts profound, his knowledge solid, his cultural background deep, and his political maneuvering superb. If you don't like it after reading it, you can slap me! It's not a mindless system-crushing story; it focuses on political intrigue, large-scale ancient warfare, the ongoing romance between Shen Luoli, and multiple parallel storylines involving court intrigue and governance. It blends historical figures from the Zhenguan era with those from *Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties*, adding modern military and philosophical elements for a disruptive effect. Modern thought and educational achievements are used as experiments in the evolution of civilization in the Tang Dynasty.
