第1章 军功入相

Military merit leads to prime minister

During the Tianbao era, peace and prosperity prevailed.

Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, Wang Changling, He Zhizhang, Gao Shi, Cen Shen, Yan Zhenqing, Wu Daozi, Zhang Xu... Countless figures of renown throughout history inspired the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty.

However, prosperous times are like porcelain—exquisite yet fragile!

He opened his eyes and saw not the elegance of talented scholars and beautiful women, but an emperor indulging in extravagance and debauchery.

The stark white bones at the head of Qinghai!

The regret of Natalus.

Those barbarians from the Northeast are eyeing us covetously.

And then there were those alluring figures in Huaqing Palace, dancing the Hu Xuan dance, captivating the emperor, who dreamt he was an immortal…

When China forever lost Central Asia; when the ancient road between the two capitals was littered with corpses of the starving; when the iron cavalry of foreign tribes once again overwhelmed the Jade Gate Pass.

As the era of the "Heavenly Khan" gradually fades away, the imperial court remains a place of revelry and extravagance.

Li Linfu, with his honeyed words and treacherous heart, controlled the government; the Yang family was extremely powerful, wielding immense influence.

When a person meets an era!

He wanted to achieve military merit and become prime minister in this last era of scholars wielding swords, hoping to save the dynasty from collapse.

天宝年间，歌舞升平。
李白、杜甫、王维、王昌龄、贺知章、高适、岑参、颜真卿、吴道子、张旭……数不尽的千古风流人物，引动盛唐气象。
然而盛世如瓷器一样，精美而易碎！
他睁开眼睛，看到的不是才子与佳人的风采，而是穷奢极欲的皇帝。
那青海头的森森白骨！
那怛罗斯的遗憾。
那东北的胡儿，虎视眈眈。
还有那华清宫内娇媚的身躯，舞动胡旋，君王长醉，梦为神仙……
当华夏永远失去中亚；当两京古道上饿殍遍地；当异族的铁骑，再次淹没玉门关。
眼看着“天可汗”时代逐渐远去，庙堂之上，依旧灯红酒绿。
李林甫口蜜腹剑，把持朝政；杨氏一族炙手可热，权倾朝野。
当一个人与一个时代相遇！
他想在这文人佩剑的最后时代，搏军功入相，挽大厦之将倾。
