About This Novel
The 1120s were a tumultuous era in Chinese history, with the four great dynasties of the Northern Song, Liao, Jin, and Xixia coexisting. History intersects here, where heroes, heroes, and cowardly kings and ministers appear on stage to stir up troubles. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, was talented but incompetent; Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty did nothing and only indulged in pleasure; Wanyan Agu built the Jin Kingdom and destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and practiced martial arts; Emperor Li Qianshun of the Western Xia Dynasty struggled to survive in the cracks and seek the greatest interests in troubled times. The great wheel of history carries the fate of the characters forward: Song and Jin agreed on a maritime alliance to jointly attack the Liao; the Liao was destroyed, and the Liao clan Yelu Dashi went westward to establish the Western Liao Empire; Aguda died, and the Jin State went south to attack the Song Dynasty, which eventually led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty; Focusing on the historical events and key figures of the 1120s, the author uses a relaxed and serious style to describe the fate of the characters and the complexity of human nature. He writes and interprets the causes and truth of the war, restores the social scene at that time, explores the causes and consequences of the great historical changes, and conducts an in-depth analysis of the culture, politics, and economy of the 1120s.
