You say that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
Why is it that what I hear is your fraternity that has nothing to do with overturning.
The people of the world fear you and respect you, and come to worship you from all over the world.
Why is there only a shallow feeling of distress in my heart?
I am filled with gratitude for the thousand years of time and space that have sent me to you.
Not because of the good dreams in the emperor's arms, but because when the years pass quietly, you are no longer in the way.

"Your back is majestic, carrying the future of a dynasty.
I would like to be a shining star in the sky, shining brightly on the century-old rivers and mountains created by you. "

This article takes the early Tang Dynasty as the background and tries to respect the trajectory of history. I hope dear readers can forgive me for some discrepancies with historical facts due to the needs of the story.
I just hope that I can write a beautiful legend for those great but lonely emperors, and I would rather believe that someone has made them deeply happy.
