A First-Rank Tang Marquis

I gave up immediately after reading the synopsis. It's supposed to be the 14th year of the Zhenguan era? Back then, Li Shimin was already on a drug spree, incredibly dangerous, and there were so many famous generals. Tsk tsk tsk, once an emperor starts causing trouble, the more meritorious the generals, the more sleazy they become. At least understand the general course of history before writing this!

The author's writing style is somewhat lacking; they are not particularly adept at handling historical fiction. The entire plot is easily recognizable as deliberately contrived, meaning the story development is unnatural, disjointed, and very stiff! The whole plot feels forced and contrived. The author should read more books by renowned historical fiction authors to learn from their work.

Can't you write anymore once you leave a brothel?

During the Tang Dynasty, emperors bestowed gold as a reward, which was actually copper coins. A typical reward of 10,000 gold coins was equivalent to 10 strings of cash (10 guan). The text frequently mentions bestowing 100 gold coins, which is, in fact, gold...

Frowning. This is a poetic description of a woman! Also, consider the prices in the Tang Dynasty! One string of cash was roughly equivalent to two to three thousand yuan today (based on rice prices). The point of storytelling is to create something out of nothing, to make the reader feel a sense of immersion. Understand?

The protagonist's behavior is so idiotic; according to the main plot... Three chapters to wrap up.

Could people in the Tang Dynasty cook stir-fries? Did they have all the necessary tools and seasonings? Do you know how expensive icing sugar (white sugar) was? How was wheat flour fermented? How much did a piece of pastry cost?

The first chapter was so off-putting because of the word "confession," it took me out of the story.

Even if you could make steamed buns in the Tang Dynasty, the dough wouldn't rise properly. Besides, they didn't have such fine flour back then.

Based on what you read about the so-called Tang Dynasty customs and officials in online articles, and then searching it on Baidu, you can call yourself an author! Quite naive. But it's also somewhat inspiring.
