"Empress Wu Zetian: A Woman at the Peak of Power": Written from the age of 0 to 83, it constructs lifelike scenes based on history and reproduces the legendary life story of Empress Wu Zetian. "The Legend of Li Yu, the Talented Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty": With a cowardly character, he shouldn't have been born into an emperor's family, but he happened to be. Since ancient times, fate has been intertwined. His political frustration also contributed to his supreme achievements in literature and art. "Chen Yaozuo, Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty": According to historical records, after Chen Yaozuo became a Jinshi in his 20s, he started as a county lieutenant and rose to the rank of prime minister. He was diligent and honest in government, had outstanding political achievements, and was a talented poet. He was highly praised by literary leader Ouyang Xiu. "The Most Incorruptible Official in the Qing Dynasty Yu Chenglong": During his more than 20 years of official career, he had a political voice wherever he went. In particular, he was always honest and self-sufficient, practiced good governance, and was deeply loved by the people. He was a representative figure of Xunli in the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi praised him as "the most honest official in the world."

A person's truth, kindness and beauty are certainly valuable. However, we live in the real world, especially in this era of increasingly greedy and impetuous humans. A series of original and excellent personalities such as kindness, simplicity, honesty, and maturity have become a bit naive in the face of human nature. It seems that this traditional virtue is no longer a good word to praise people, but an object of human contempt and ridicule after dinner. It exists in heaven and earth in a derogatory sense.

Among the three brothers Chen Yaosou, Chen Yaozuo and Chen Yaozi, Chen Yaozuo ranked second. The eldest brother was Chen Yaosu and the younger brother was Chen Yaozi. The father of the three brothers is Chen Shenghua, and Chen Shenghua's great-grandfather is Chen Xiang, whose ancestral home is Inner Mongolia. Chen Xiang was originally the secretary of the Ming Dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty. He later followed Wang Jian, the founding emperor of Shu, to Sichuan and worked beside Wang Jian. In order to dissuade Wang Jian from proclaiming himself emperor, he disobeyed Wang Jian's original intention and was sent to Xinjing as the county magistrate. Xinjing County was under the jurisdiction of Langzhong County, Langzhou at that time. It was named Xinjing because of the many salt wells in its territory. Ancient Xinjing is now Xinjing Village, Daqiao Town, southern Sichuan County.

I don't know why I want to write about Li Yu. It's true that he is an emperor, but there are many emperors in Chinese history, countless, but he is the most talented emperor in Chinese history. The only person who could rival Li Yu in talent was the later Song Huizong Zhao Ji, but Song Huizong's talent was far inferior to that of Li Yu, and his literary achievements were even less comparable.
