Rush, and you'll be quick; quick, and you'll be lousy. From today on, we'll build high walls, stockpile provisions, and take our time before claiming the throne. From the start, he takes over the New Chang'an construction project. Everyone else laments that the massive building works will drain the treasury, but the more he builds, the fuller the treasury gets. Oh, he's selling homes before they're built in the Sui Dynasty.

My new book is titled "Believe in Me, Then Become My Fan". Men shouldn't be impatient; if they are, they'll rush and become incompetent. From this day forward, build high walls, store up plenty of grain, and delay declaring yourself emperor. When he took over the construction project of the new Chang'an, while others lamented that the massive construction was draining the national treasury, the more he built, the more abundant the national treasury became. Oh, he's selling pre-sale apartments in the Sui Dynasty, then it's alright. While others complained about the waste of manpower and resources during the large-scale canal construction, the people flocked to it, creating a scene of bustling activity. Oh, you get weekends off and a salary, then it's fine. He taught Sun Simiao the correct proportions of gunpowder, thus greatly promoting the development of firearms. He took Li Shimin as his disciple, appointed him as the General of Heavenly Strategy, and made him do what he was best at: beat up his father and beat up his brother. He took Li Jing as his younger brother, taught him the correct way to hold a pagoda, and fought his way from Yanmen Pass all the way to Constantine. Building the Great Wall, repairing the Grand Canal, conquering Goguryeo, constructing the Eastern Capital, and implementing the imperial examination system to counter the powerful clans and aristocratic families—these are things that need to be done, but we must proceed slowly. I want to create a glorious Sui Dynasty.

His own brothers rebelled against him. His only close friend sent assassins to kill him. His eldest son rejected his beliefs, and his youngest son brought down his empire. As the First Emperor, betrayal had become an ordinary part of life. Of course, none of it mattered anymore.

His father, the king, abandoned him; his mother, on whom he depended for survival, wanted to kill him; his own brothers rebelled against him; his only close friend sent an assassin to kill him; his eldest son betrayed his beliefs; and his youngest son overthrew his country. For the First Emperor, betrayal was commonplace. Of course, none of that matters anymore. Having worked hard all his life, the First Emperor only wanted to enjoy his remaining years in the care of his beloved grandson. While he's at it, he's also thinking about when to quit and let his lazy grandson take on the responsibilities of the nation. (Family bonds, redemption, family happiness...)

The web series "Tang Dynasty Tour," starring Zhang Jianing and Wang Tianchen, premiered exclusively on iQiyi on October 29, 2018. For more information, please follow the WeChat official account "2"... Dreaming of returning to Chang'an, the Xuanwu Gate was stained with blood, and the depths of the Taiji Palace were filled with endless sorrow. The resounding words "The people are the water, the ruler is the boat" still echoed across the land of Chang'an, but the iron hooves of foreign tribes once again trampled through the Jade Gate Pass. How can this hatred be satisfied? What kind of fury must Li Shimin, lying in his tomb, have uttered upon witnessing the suffering of his people? He pounded on the railings, only to see the land sinking into ruin! My heart was filled with frustration, and I wished I could cross the river of history, pluck stars from the sky, grasp the sun and moon, and turn the world upside down. So be it. I hear ghostly cries and the autumn rain pattering outside the window. I'll cut a worn-out pen and continue the story of the glorious Tang Dynasty, removing the dark parts. My Tang Dynasty has no sorrow, only the heroic spirit of war, emperors with the ambition to swallow the sun and moon, fierce generals who have fought countless battles, scholars in high hats and wide belts, gentle and virtuous empresses, loving fathers and filial sons, and a prosperous era that continues. This is my Tang Dynasty, my "Tang Brick".
