Tang Dynasty's excellent imperial horseman Fiction
Tang Dynasty's excellent imperial horseman

When he traced his roots, modern-day Changsun Chong was sucked into a post-apocalyptic space. In order to reunite with his parents, he had no choice but to be sent back to the Tang Dynasty and become Changsun Chong, the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. Arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he was unfamiliar with the place and naturally needed to embrace the biggest thigh. The emperor was the biggest, so Li Er it is! Li Er was a good emperor, a successful ruler, but not a good brother, son, or father. In order to successfully embrace the thickest thigh, Changsun Chong went all out to flatter his brother-in-law, Li Er, helping him show filial respect to the empress dowager and train the imperial princes. Unfortunately, he discovered that this wasn't enough. Those sons-in-law, except for him, Changsun Chong, were all no good. He had to train them for Li Er as well. Spittle flew as Li Er waved his hand, directing the country: "Having just one good son is not enough. I want a group of good sons; having just one good son-in-law is not enough. I want a group of good sons-in-law." Changsun Chong timidly raised his hand and said, "Are you sure we're training princes and sons-in-law, and not raising pigs, herding cattle, and letting horses run wild?" If you think "The Good Son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty" is pretty good, don't forget to recommend it to your friends in your QQ group and Weibo!
