The Splendor of the Tang Dynasty: My Father Is Li Shimin

My surname is Li, my given name Tai, my courtesy name Huibao, and my childhood name Qingque. I am the legitimate second son of Emperor Taizong of the Tang dynasty. My birth mother was Empress Wende, and my maternal uncle is Zhangsun Wuji. I was the most favored of all the princes from childhood, and when I grew up, I was both exceptionally talented and brilliant. My useless eldest brother, the crown prince, ruined his own position, so of course I am the most suitable, reasonable, and lawful heir to the throne. I will lead civil and military officials in ushering in an age of vast territory, enlightened governance, social stability, economic prosperity, and cultural flourishing! I will create the most magnificent High Tang in history, awe the lands within our borders, and draw all nations to pay tribute!
