"Damn the Tang Dynasty! If we really joined the Tang Dynasty, it would all be over."
Criticizing Li Shimin has become politically correct. It's as if not criticizing him means you've been brainwashed. Little do they know who's actually being brainwashed. The Tang Dynasty didn't prohibit private writings or histories. This was stated when the Song Dynasty compiled its history.
The story begins with the protagonist watching his father commit suicide before his eyes, even going so far as to claim it was a worthy death—truly cold-blooded from the start. Speechless. The book dies by the second chapter.
I suddenly found that reading ancient novels is quite enjoyable.
Can the wordsmith I remember ever come back?
Why is Li Shimin addressed as "Your Majesty Li Shimin"? Author, are you kidding me? There's no historical precedent for this title, and it's incredibly awkward.
Having read many people's opinions on that book that overturns the traditional view of emperors and vilifies Li Shimin, I have a few points to make. History must be viewed dialectically. We cannot deny an emperor's achievements simply because we want to vilify him. Undeniably, Li Shimin had his flaws: fratricide, patricide, and a bad precedent in choosing a crown prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Only Emperor Taizong of Tang was a man of unparalleled heroism, who pacified the four directions with his military prowess, and whose reign of Zhenguan was a model of civil virtue... He was a man of virtue who ruled the world and whose achievements brought peace to the world for ten thousand generations."
The protagonist is a wolf, initially fierce and ruthless, but later... He turns into a mongrel.
I haven't read the book yet. I had already scrolled it away, but seeing the heated debate in the comments section, I decided to stop reading. To be fair, the establishment of the Tang Dynasty couldn't have been possible without Li Yuan as the rallying figure, Li Jiancheng as the stabilizer, and Li Shimin and Li Xiuning as the pioneers. They were like department managers, each indispensable.
