Crown and Tang Emperor

In the fourth year of the Chuigong era of the Tang dynasty, Li Tong came to this world.

A refined young noble, as beautiful as jade, unfortunately born into the imperial family.

A female ruler holds court and the Zhou dynasty revolution is under way. If he will not be fish meat, then he must be the butcher’s knife.

No great seal or sacred token should be handed to others; the prosperous age will be shaped by me.

A tale of remarkable figures, poetry and books enjoyed to the fullest, and the storms of an era spanning a full cycle, told anew from the beginning.

I am Li Shouyi, the third son of Li Xian, Crown Prince Huai. I will feed Great Tang with a little salt, make the empress cough to death, and then wear the crown of Great Tang.
