Great Tang: I Fool Li Longji From the Start and Become the Imperial Preceptor

In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, just one year remained before the An Lushan Rebellion.

An Lushan commanded troops in three provinces, sharpening his blades for war. Yang Guozhong monopolized the court, while the whole empire wallowed in luxury.

Li Chang'an transmigrated into this era only to become a beggar, penniless and powerless, struggling just to stay alive.

His only support was an old phone with 12% battery left. It had no internet or signal, just cached historical explainers and a bunch of dumb short videos.

By chance, he ran into Li Longji, who was traveling incognito. Through a twist of fate, he went from beggar to Imperial Preceptor overnight.

When the Consort wanted to hear immortal music, he used 2% of his battery to play a reconstructed tune, leaving the entire court awestruck.

The Crown Prince lived in constant fear, so Li Chang'an became the heir apparent’s secret mentor.

Yang Guozhong plotted against him, but Li Chang'an left the treacherous chancellor red-faced and humiliated.

When refugees flooded in, he brought out his “private traffic” management strategy, and everyone revered him like a god.

But no one knew that he fretted over his battery every day and only wanted to save enough money to run away.

Until An Lushan really did rebel, and the war drums of Yuyang shook the earth.

The fires of war in the three provinces tore through the last veil concealing the empire’s golden age.

At that very moment, his phone went black.

The Mutiny at Mawei, the proclamation of an emperor at Lingwu, the bloody battle at Xiangji Temple...

His golden finger had run out, yet the whole world was counting on this charlatan of an Imperial Preceptor to turn the tide.

Li Chang'an tossed away his phone and stepped into the flames of war himself.

On the day of his triumph, he burned the “heavenly book,” now nothing but scrap metal, right before the emperor’s eyes.

From then on, there would be no more heavenly books in the world, only a true Imperial Preceptor who rebuilt the Great Tang through the wisdom of ordinary people.

The phone was dead. The Imperial Preceptor had to rise.

This time, he would take the hearts of the people as his heavenly book.
