Kaiyuan was at its peak, all nations came to court, and the glory of the Tang Dynasty shrouded the world, but under the flowers, there were already many rot beetles.
Emperor Xuanzong, Li Longji, indulged in pleasure and doted on treacherous sycophants. The palaces were intertwined, hidden dangers arose in the feudal towns, and land annexation became more intense. Under the skin of the prosperous age, the fire of troubled times quietly started a prairie fire.
Li Chen, a modern top student in both military and political subjects, accidentally traveled through the 28th year of Kaiyuan and became Li Longji's secret illegitimate son who lived among the people and was not recorded in history.
His biological mother was a lowly palace maid, but she was framed by powerful men and died tragically after giving birth. Li Chen was abandoned in a courtyard on the outskirts of Luoyang since he was a child. He was the most humble abandoned son of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty.
In his previous life, Li Chen was well versed in the art of power and war, and was familiar with the general trend of history for thousands of years. He knew full well that the Tianbao Rebellion was coming, and that the century-old foundation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was about to collapse. All the royal family members died tragically, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and the people were displaced.
If you are in a desperate situation, if you retreat, you will die without a burial place. If you advance, you can swallow up the world and usurp the throne!
Since then, an illegitimate son of a down-and-out royal family has been dormant in the grass and bucked the trend.
Taking advantage of the benefits of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, we used military and political thinking, economic methods, and military training methods that were thousands of years ahead of time to break the suppression of the clan and break away from the shackles of the royal family.
Fight against powerful officials, fight against powerful ministers, act as a dramatist, put down bandits and chaos, train elites, and gather heroes.
He accumulated strength in the prosperous times when he was weak, and emerged in the troubled times of Tianbao.
While others were obsessed with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, he laid out thousands of miles of land;
While others relied on the royal magnates, he had sole control of military power and financial power;
While others were waiting for Anshi to overthrow, he went upstream and intercepted the opportunities of the troubled times!
Love is always there in thousands of rivers and mountains, can you vote for me?
