This volume records a period of intense political and military turmoil. Nishu (尼舒) is driven back to Baishui Lake City (白水湖城) as factional strife spreads. At court Emperor Taizong (太宗) faces both reformers and conspirators. The Crown Prince (太子) grows indulgent, seizes land and recruits followers. Advisors including Yu ZhiNing repeatedly remonstrate. Conspirators such as Hou Junji (侯军级) gather support. Zhang Liang (张亮) reports subversive designs and the court investigates. Facing evidence, the prince is deposed and confined. Loyal ministers are rewarded while many conspirators are punished or executed. Wei Zheng (卫争) exemplifies frank counsel and is mourned when he dies, a poignant contrast to intrigues. On the frontier Taizong marshals forces and personally directs campaigns. Generals like Li Shiji (李师基) and Li Daozong (李道宗) win key victories at Liaodong, Baiyan and Ansi. Ashina Sheer (阿什纳社尔) leads Turkic cavalry in decisive maneuvers. Siege tactics, fires fanned by south winds, and coordinated flank attacks break fortified towns. Many defenders are killed and thousands are taken captive. The court reorganizes border administration, sets up prefectures and entrusts local chieftains with offices to stabilize newly pacified regions. Abroad diplomatic and religious missions proceed. Xuan Zhuang (玄壮) obtains scriptures in distant lands and Wang Xuance (王玄测) conducts a daring western expedition to suppress rebellion. At home strange reports of longevity elixirs and omens unsettle the court. Taizong grows frail after prolonged campaigning and personal losses. He summons trusted ministers including Changsun Wuji (长孙无忌) and delivers final charges. He issues a will to secure succession, entrusts state rituals and the heir, and soon dies. The realm enters mourning and a new sovereign ascends. The volume closes with the consolidation of frontier policy and the heavy costs of war and statecraft made manifest.

本卷交织朝廷内外两重考验。内廷权谋与忠谏并行。太子日渐沉溺享乐，徇私建铺侵田，结党图谋，侯军级等人助势，张亮等人闻奏上疏，朝中审讯揭露反叛。太宗依法处置，废太子为庶，捕治党羽，另立进王为嗣。忠臣直谏如卫争受礼遇而晚年病逝，朝局冷暖见微。外方战事频仍，尼舒失利退守白水湖城，唐军南北并进，围攻辽东、白岩、安市等要塞，以火攻、奇袭与分兵合击取胜。阿什纳社尔与李师基等将领屡建战功，多强取城俘众。边患既定，朝廷改置羁縻州县，安抚诸部并重整官制。东西使节并举。玄藏与王玄测取经与西征并奏功，使节往返增广帝国影响。朝中亦有方士与长生之说扰扰人心，太宗身心兼劳，数经亲巡并多次训诲太子以家国为念。末段太宗气力衰微，召长孙无忌等辅佐，定遗诏托孤，临终嘱咐治国要务而殂。其死标志盛世一段终结，新王继位，边防与羁縻政策成为后续稳定的基石。
