The Great Tang's Wonderful Imperial Grandson!

I always thought only female-oriented online novels had a bunch of gay fans who liked to hype up Li Chengqian, but it turns out there are a lot of them on Qidian too. It's hilarious! Do they really think everyone likes to create crazy personas? He can't even do the basic duties of a politician properly, and yet they try to whitewash him. No matter how much they try to explain, they can't point out any real achievements he had. He's not even as good as Yang Guang. It's just too funny.

Damn, reading the comments section makes me dizzy. It's enough to play the "legitimate son and illegitimate son" cult in female-oriented content, why are they playing it in male-oriented content? Although there was a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate sons in ancient times, in the end it all came down to who had the bigger fist.

In the fifth year of the Daye era, the Sui Dynasty was at its peak: there were no powerful enemies abroad, the country was stable, the people were prosperous, and the military was powerful. There are over 9 million registered households nationwide, with an actual population exceeding 50 million.

How could Qin Shi Huang, a mere tyrant, compare to Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin? Aside from the legendary figures like the Five Emperors and Three Kings, Li Shimin was a model of a wise ruler in ancient times, just like Emperor Wen of Han and Liu Bang, a sage ruler for all ages. Let's examine the comments made by famous figures throughout history regarding Emperor Taizong:

Not just anyone can become a soldier in the garrison. When selecting soldiers for the imperial guards, the first consideration was family wealth. If two men were roughly equal in wealth, the one with the richer family would be chosen. If two men were equally wealthy, the one with the larger physique would be selected. It's unrealistic to become a soldier if you can't afford to live. You'll have to take care of yourself, even if you're armed.

I haven't read it in a while, and it's getting more and more absurd. Such a momentous event as the emperor's abdication—why wasn't the crown prince informed beforehand, or the officials informed at all? This book is becoming more and more like children playing house.

Li Chengqian is a dog father; how much do you despise Li Chengqian? Xiao Li's failure was due to Li Er's favoritism; to put it bluntly, it was because he was too outstanding, and Li Er was wary of him. Later on, he became crippled, and his efforts were in vain. Emperor Li Er would never allow a cripple to become emperor. In my opinion, his rebellion was more like revenge against Emperor Li Er, letting him taste the bitterness of "like father, like son."

The claim that "Wu Zetian invented the anonymous grading system" comes from the novel "Anecdotes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Historically, the anonymous grading system for the imperial examinations had already existed, and it was precisely Wu Zetian who abolished it. The New Book of Tang states: Initially, the selection of candidates was done anonymously, with scholars making the judgments.

The author argues that the Qin Dynasty didn't significantly influence the concept of a unified empire, and that the Han Dynasty was the one that truly solidified this ideology. However, I would argue that without the Qin Dynasty, we most likely wouldn't have this concept of a unified empire today.

I just want to write my book quietly, and I hope everyone will refrain from criticizing or belittling me, as this could easily cause unnecessary conflict. Harmony is fundamental, harmony is precious, and harmony brings wealth. Thank you again for reading and supporting us!
