    This is completely consistent! And it's very exciting! It doesn't look good if you slap me in the face! Don't panic! It is recommended to read the comment area of ​​the last chapter first. The author has sorted out the entire novel in the comment area, which is helpful for reading. Among the fictional historical creations, "Renzu of the Tang Dynasty" is a work that achieves extremely high standards in conception, overall conception, long-term foreshadowing, character creation, and strategy and war system. ✅ The parts that are extremely well done and almost full 1. Pattern and intention: Breaking away from the narrative of "winners and losers" in traditional historical novels, the core proposition is to break the fate of the feudal dynasty's cycle of bloodshed and chaos. It does not rely on massacre to eliminate political opponents, pursues to stop killings and calm the people, and uses moderate reforms to pave the way for civilization transformation. This is a rare and grand humanistic intention in historical themes. 2. Concept and foreshadowing: The long-term layout of the whole book is closely linked. Annan Fine Breeds, Jiangnan Searching Girl, Spice Restaurant, etc. Have laid the groundwork early; all the plots are conspiracy. The military system is self-consistent and complete, with contradictions on the united front, manger trap tactics, a tribute to the four-yue wolf Juxu who crossed the Chishui River four times, thermal expansion and cold contraction that destroyed Anshi City, plus the front-end settlement of grain and grass problems in the field. The military and political logic is solid and avoids a lot of common flaws in time-travel stories. 3. Character arcs: The core characters are all three-dimensional and thick. Li Shimin is not a template wise king, he understands everything but bears the original sin of the Xuanwu Sect, and is willing to be a pawn in his son's chess game; Li Ke is burdened with eternal regrets, and has top strategies but is trapped in the pain of losing his wife all his life; Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Zhi, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and others all have complete transformation trajectories, and there is no supporting role of a tool man. The game relationship between father and son "playing each other as chess players and chess pieces" is a very unique artistic creation. 4. Artistic techniques: Good at using restrained small scenes to carry huge tension. The carriage knocks on Concubine Yang, the two kings come to the door when Qin Qiong passes away, Yu Chi kneels before the tomb, and Li Ke pays homage to the tomb and plays chess on his trip to Guizhou. He uses life-like details to hide the emperor's thoughts, makes good use of white space, does not rely on straightforward preaching, and uses events and actions to heighten emotions.

    ## Evil bones appear in the rainstorm grassland! He holds a cow-butchering knife in his hand, but Guo Jing thinks he is a peerless magic weapon? >Heavy rain poured down like a river from the sky, pummeling the grassland into chaos. >Liu Lian's bones all over his body were in severe pain as if they had been trampled by wild horses, and he struggled to raise his head from the muddy water. >There was a sharp pain in the palm of my right hand! >A black and ferocious sharp bone spur with an ominous arc was greedily sipping the blood gushing out of his palm - **The strange thing is that the heavy rain could not break away the blood line, and all of them were swallowed up by this evil bone spur! ** >"Buzz——!" >A cold and dead thought crashed into my mind: >[Eboning Knife·Unbinding the Ox (Broken) Binding!]> [The blade in the palm, the bones in the eyes. The world asks for divine weapons, but you hold the butcher's knife in your own hands!] --- Ink-black clouds pressed tightly against the boundless grassland, and the strong wind rolled up the grass and let out a shrill cry. The herdsmen whipped their whips with crackling sounds, and the panicked sheep were driven towards the dotted yurts. A pale electric snake tore through the sky, followed closely by thunder, and the water of the Milky Way no longer had any scruples, pouring down violently, instantly connecting the sky and the earth into a chaotic rain curtain. Liu Lian was like a fish out of water, lying face down in the cold mud. Every gasp caused severe pain as if the internal organs were being displaced, and the joints between the bones showed the exhaustion of being cut into pieces by a thousand knives. The cold rain hit his back, almost driving him into this strange land. He used all his strength to barely lift his head from the mud. The rain immediately blurred his vision, leaving only hazy rolling waves of grass around him. The moment he tried to hold up his broken body - "Uh-huh -!" A sharp, tooth-breaking pain came from the palm of his right hand without any warning! It was as if a red-hot iron had been stabbed in! Liu Lian retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, and looked at it in the dim skylight, his heart suddenly sank! He saw a small dark sharp object with a rough curvature like a beast suddenly revealed in the mud that he had just pressed down, and the tip was piercing deeply into his palm! What made his scalp numb even more was that the blood gushing from his wound was not washed away by the violent rain! The bright red blood line is like a living thing, going upstream against the common sense, and the flesh is being greedily sucked and swallowed by the black bone spur! On the surface of the bone spur, there was a faint dark red light flashing away. "What the hell?!" Liu Lian was horrified and instinctively wanted to get rid of it, but the bone spur seemed to have taken root! "Buzz——!" A huge, cold thought with a strong meaning of death and stripping was like an invisible ice pick, digging into the depths of his mind without any buffer! A distorted blood-colored light and shadow instantly exploded in front of the eyes, and several ancient seal characters that looked as if they were carved appeared: **[ obscure·Jie Niu]** **[Binding: Liu Lian]** **[The blade in the palm, the bone in the eye. The world seeks divine weapons with unparalleled sharpness, but you hold the butcher's knife in your own hands!]** The light and shadow dispersed, and the sharp pain in the palm of my hand disappeared suddenly. Liu Lian looked at his right hand in shock - the ferocious bone spur disappeared without a trace! Instead, there was a very faint black mark in the palm of the hand, shaped like a simple skinning knife! In the rain, Liu Lian staggered to his feet and wiped the rain cement from his face, but the corner of his mouth made a strange and cold arc. He subconsciously touched the back of his waist - there was a rusty dagger that he pulled out from the pile of dead people and was too dull for cutting meat. "A magic weapon in the eyes of others?" He sneered in a low voice, rubbing the rough handle of the broken knife at his waist with his fingertips, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, penetrating through the rain curtain, as if he could see the bloody wind that was about to rise at the end of the grassland. "**It's just bones to be torn apart and meat to be shaved off on my chopping board!**" When Guo Jing's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were unparalleled in strength, when Huang Yaoshi's jade flute hid mysteries, and when the whole world went crazy for the Dragon-Slaying Sword Yitian Sword, no one knew that a man holding a "boning knife" deep in the grassland was watching coldly. In his eyes, the so-called magic weapons are just specimens waiting for dissection**!
