History vs. fiction

In the official history, Emperor Daizong secretly plotted to eliminate the powerful eunuchs Yu Chao'en and Li Fuguo, and the novel faithfully reproduces the emperor sending assassins to remove Li Fuguo.

  • attestedEmperor Daizong sent assassins to kill the powerful eunuch Li Fuguo

    The Old Book of Tang, Annals of Emperor Daizong, records: 'On the night of Dingmao, bandits killed Li Fuguo at his residence and took his head away.' In fact, it was secretly ordered by Emperor Daizong. In Chapter 100 of Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it is written that after Li Fuguo supported Emperor Daizong, he became arrogant and unrestrained: 'He established the crown prince as Emperor Daizong, and thus Fuguo became even more arrogant. Later, Fuguo was killed, and the assassin was actually sent by Emperor Daizong.' The plot is completely consistent with the official history.
