The Tang Dynasty: It Begins at Mawei Station

Tianbao Year 15, Mawei Station. On the day of the mutiny, Chen Yan was crouched by the wall, watching ants. His father, Chen Xuanli, had conspired with the Crown Prince, and everything was unfolding just as the history books said it would. Until a stray arrow pierced Tang Xuanzong's throat. The Crown Prince fled. Yang Guifei survived. His father stood beside the body, silently mouthing two words: “It's over.” Chen Yan was a transmigrator, the sixth son of the Great General of the Longwu Army. The Crown Prince wanted him dead, the eunuchs wanted to use him, and the Uyghurs wanted his head. He fled to Shuofang, thinking he could finally find peace. Then the Uyghurs arrived, Yecheng fell, and the court collapsed. He kept heading north, until there was nowhere left to run. Then he turned around.
