Dreaming back to Chang'an, Xuanwu Gate is soaked with blood, and there is only countless sorrow in the depths of Taiji Palace. The people are water, and the king is a boat. The loud voice of the emperor is still reverberating in the land of Chang'an, but the iron hooves of the alien race have once again broken through the Yumen Pass. How can this hatred be reached? What kind of anger should Li Shimin roar in the grave when he sees his people in ruins? I took pictures of the railings and could only see Jiuzhou Lu Chen! My chest is also full of depression, wishing I could cross the long river of history, catch flying stars, catch the sun and moon, and turn the world upside down. It doesn't matter, I can hear ghosts chirping outside the window and the autumn rain whizzing. I cut a bald pen and extend the story of Li Tang's prosperous age, removing the dark parts. My Tang Dynasty has no sorrow, only the heroic spirit of the iron horse, the emperor who swallowed the sun and the moon, the bloody generals, the noble scholars with high crowns, the gentle and virtuous queen, the father is kind and the son is filial, and the prosperous age lasts. This is my Tang Dynasty, my "Tang Bricks". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
