History Series / YoungSherlock

** Two cases involve [[spoiler:Li Chengdao's subordinates who were tasked to transport/gather funds for his rebellion. The perpetrators in both cases seek revenge for the wrongs said subordinantes did almost two decades ago.]]

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The cases in the series were fictional; the biggest historical upheavals in the imperial court during this period were actually (harem-wise) Wu Meiniang's quest to become empress consort and (court-wise) Gaozong's struggle to reclaim power from the officials thrusted upon him by his father.

** Di Renjie is the Realist, as he strikes the balance between solving the cases and the welfare of the team.

* SinsOfOurFathers: Wanqing, TheMedic and Di's love interest, [[spoiler: is the daughter of Li Jiancheng, the former crown prince of Tang Gaozu, who was killed by Gaozong's father Taizong during the coup at Xuan Wu Gate. The first case Di handles in-series was related to a conspiracy involving the deaths of Li Jiancheng's concubines.]]

* HistoricalInJoke: The ''fengshan'' ceremony failing to take place could be a subtle hint to the historical (and successful) ceremony Gaozong took part in. His particular ''fengshan'' ceremony was noteworthy as it was the only ceremony whereby two emperors took part (the other emperor being Wu Meiniang, the future Wu Zetian).

* YoungFutureFamousPeople: Di Renjie and Wu Meiniang. Di would serve under Wu in his latter years as chancellor and confidante. Wu, of course, would be known as the only female emperor in Chinese history.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Historically, by the start of the series, Li Zhi already had an empress (surnamed Wang), and it was Empress Wang who thought that it was a good idea to bring Wu Meiniang back from Ganye Temple, as Li Zhi was infatuated with Lady Xiao (holding the title of ''shufei''). Historically, Wu was also never made "guifei"; her highest rank before becoming empress consort was "zhao yi".
** The masked head of the secret society and BigBad of the series [[spoiler: is Li Chengdao, Li Jiancheng's second son, who historically died at the Xuan Wu Gate incident along with his father and brothers. His title was also the Prince of Anlu.]]
