About This Novel

AD 960, the third day of the first lunar month, Chenqiaoyi. A drunken general was put on a yellow robe by his subordinates and became the emperor in a daze. His name was Zhao Kuangyin, and the dynasty he established was called "Song". One hundred and sixty-seven years later, during the Jingkang Incident, Bianliang City was destroyed. His descendants were taken to the north by the Jin army and became prisoners. The Northern Song Dynasty died. These one hundred and sixty-seven years are a hundred years of heroes - Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine, Xiao Yanyan created the golden age of the Liao Dynasty, Kou Zhun signed the Chanyuan Alliance against all opinions, Fan Zhongyan "worried before the world's worries", Wang Anshi was "unafraid of changes in nature", Su Shi wrote "The Great River Goes East" in Huangzhou, Wanyan Aguda established the Kingdom of Jin with 20,000 instead of 700,000. These one hundred and sixty-seven years have also been a hundred years full of problems - "three redundancies" have overwhelmed the finances, party disputes have torn apart the court, spending money to buy peace has become a national policy, and the emphasis on civil affairs over military affairs has caused the army to lose its combat effectiveness. This book is about this history. It is not a boring chronicle, but mainly official history, supplemented by novels and unofficial histories to create flesh-and-blood people - the emperor's ambition and helplessness, the ministers' loyalty and betrayal, the literati's heroism and downfall. Open this book and return to that turbulent era. See how Song and Liao turned from mortal enemies to brothers, and how they came to their respective doomsdays; see how a dynasty was established, prospered, struggled, and collapsed. This is the story of the centuries-old confrontation between Song and Liao, as well as the rise and fall of an era.
