Gu Zhong of Tang Dynasty

During the Tianbao period, the Tang Empire seemed to be blooming, but in fact there was an undercurrent. The Silk Road in the Western Regions was the focus of competition between the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Dashi. With his extraordinary insight and tenacity, Feng Changqing grew from the humblest "lame slave" to the governor of Anxi and Beiting towns. He eventually died unjustly in Tongguan and ended with the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
