Great Tang: This Retired Emperor Is a Little Unusual

“I wielded a three-foot sword, vanquished the warlords, brought peace to the realm, crushed the Turks, conquered Silla, and expanded our influence across the Western Regions. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, no one has founded an age of such prosperity for China. I must be the greatest man of the Tang!” Li Shimin declared with lofty ambition, looking down on the world. “I, Changsun Wuji, revised the Tang Code, assisted a wise ruler, and wield the power of the Secretariat. I can stand as The Outcast, above countless millions and second only to one man!” Changsun Wuji declared solemnly, surveying the world below. “Ahem!” Li Yuan approached slowly and glanced at the two of them. “I am second in the Tang!” Li Shimin hurriedly stepped behind Li Yuan. “This minister is third, third...” Changsun Wuji quickly lowered his head. Li Yuan glanced at the two men behind him and nodded with satisfaction. “I seek immortality, bring order to the world, and save all living beings. That is the true measure of an emperor! Understand?”
