What is The Court of the Lion: A Novel of the T'ang Dynasty (T'ang Trilogy Book 3) about?

Book Three of the T’ang Trilogy: “Better than Shogun!” said reviews of the now-classic, internationally-published THE COURT OF THE LION. Based on a true story from the eighth century, it is a fictionalized telling of one of the most powerful, tragic chronicles in Chinese history: the events leading up to the Rebellion of An Lu-shan and the fall of the Emperor Minghuang, grandson of the Iron Empress Wu, and with him, the Precious Consort Yang Kuei-fei and the dazzling Yang family. All of the major characters are real people, immortalized in the works of renowned T’ang poets Li Po and Tu Fu. In 738, rational Confucianism extant, the T’ang restored after the depredations of the Empress Wu, it is a time of expansion, peace and artistry. The Emperor is a ruler of extraordinary humanity, his justice and compassion legendary. An ambitious minor court consort, inspired by tiny characters painted on silk flowers delivered to her chambers, suggesting a greater destiny for her, makes a bold play. The favored crown prince is murdered and the current Empress framed. But the conniving woman is no Wu Tse-tien: weak and vacillating, she goes mad with guilt, her scheme collapsing.
