The Literary Tang

While I know the author intends to assimilate the Arabs, I want to point out that this so-called assimilation is all just rhetoric from intellectuals; ultimately, violence will still be involved. Furthermore, military strategy was something even the Tang dynasty scholars couldn't master. Hou Junji only obtained half of Li Jing's military treatise. You expect Arabs to learn it? Regardless of whether they could actually learn it, the author's stance is fundamentally flawed—a serious taboo.

Actually, if the male protagonist's master weren't "Laozi" (his father), there would be plenty of room for development later on. Unless Li Shimin ascends the throne and the protagonist starts to shed his "divine" characteristics, the protagonist can only continue.

Horseshoes existed in China before the Sui Dynasty; a mural in the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang depicts a "hand-nailing" scene dating back to the 4th year of the Kaihuang era of the Sui Dynasty. They were also common in European ruins dating back to the 1st century BC, and by the 6th century AD during the Tang Dynasty.

Technological advancement is indeed essential for time travelers, but so is physical prowess. It doesn't necessarily have to be the male protagonist's; he could be one of his subordinates! Looking forward to the future developments. Author, you should check out the Chinese black-and-white comic *Chang Ge Xing*—it's fantastic!

If you travel to ancient times, you must kill Confucian scholars and the descendants of Confucius.

I saw it. Qin Qiong and Yuchi Baolin are of the same generation! I'm stunned! Yuchi Baolin, would he dare to do that even if he had their courage? Qin Qiong, a Duke with military merit, is on the same level as his father, yet he keeps calling him "Brother Shubao"—isn't that strange?

A history teacher who knows nothing about history...

I made it to the chapter about making glass, only to be told that glass and magma are the same thing, and that they crystallize after cooling. This involved my major, and I just couldn't take it anymore, so I gave up. Author, if you don't understand geology, don't even try to write it; it just won't work.

Reading novels is supposed to be relaxing, but what's with this sycophantic behavior of yours? And why do you always go on and on with lengthy explanations of why you're trying to please someone?

Mythological systems are truly off-putting... All this pretense and superstition—what will you do when Li Shimin gets old and wants immortality? Religion and superstition are best kept away from politics. Also, he thinks too much about Li Shimin's subordinates, such as Cheng Yaojin. No matter how wise he is, he doesn't harm the protagonist.
