I Am the Carpenter Emperor 我是木匠皇帝
This is a dark age, beset by internal crises and surrounded by powerful enemies.

The Hero of Han 汉雄
He established a dignity the nation had never known. He gave a people the confidence to stand tall for a thousand years. His dynasty’s name became the eternal name of an entire people.

- 6 The Tang Brick 唐砖 In a dream, I returned to Chang'an. Blood stained Xuanwu Gate, and only endless sorrow remained deep within Taiji Palace. The ringing words “The people are water, and the ruler is a boat” still echoed across the land of Chang'an, yet foreign cavalry once again smashed through the Yumen Pass.
