Reviving the Tang Dynasty, Starting with the Sweet Dew Incident

Despite the ruthlessness of the eunuchs at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Li Tang imperial family and the eunuchs actually relied on each other. The Li Tang had exhausted all trustworthy forces; neither civil nor military officials could be trusted. In this era of collapsed trust between the emperor and his subjects, the emperor could only rely on the eunuchs.

The late Tang Dynasty was even worse than the late Ming and late Qing Dynasties. It was basically dominated by regional warlords, with emperors assassinated and military might reigning supreme.

It would be better to write that others saw through the situation and took the initiative to stand on the emperor's side, rather than being passively arranged, which would make one seem less intelligent.

It started off well, but then it turned into a detective novel. This is supposed to be an emperor story, can't you be a little more magnanimous?

The same problem remains: each dynasty has its own political environment and characteristics. In the mid-Tang period, there were prime ministers and powerful eunuchs, the Southern and Northern Offices, the Shence Army and the military governors. You have to write down their characteristics, right? But if you keep going on with the powerful eunuchs, they'll end up like the Ming Dynasty. You can't really treat them like servants!

A ruler who constantly suspects his ministers and is utterly incapable of honesty, with mutual distrust and growing suspicion, is a prime example of a monarch driven by power struggles, neglecting the well-being of the nation. His rule is rife with intrigue and power politics, ignoring state affairs and failing to prioritize the people's livelihood.

You see, Emperor Jingzong was a eunuch. Emperor Wuzong also said last year that he would persist, but he too became a eunuch. It's your turn again this year. Can you and your two brothers make it to the end?

After killing Qiu Shiliang, they should have seized control of the Shence Army. Giving it to eunuchs is ridiculous; what's the point of all this infighting? They should have used the sons of nobles—descendants of Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Guo Ziyi—each commanding a thousand Shence soldiers to firmly grasp military power and train a new army. Then they could have pacified the world. All this scheming and treacherous maneuvering is petty and narrow-minded.

Emperors always wish their ministers were atomized. But a government always needs its own team; it's impossible to be completely devoid of personal connections.

It should be titled (The Great Tang Dynasty: I Want to Control the Armies of the World) to lure readers in first and then kill them.
