Zhao Ruyu, the Solitary Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty

About This Novel

Meiyan is cold and green, the Po River flows eastward, and the setting sun shines on Kyushu across the south. Taizong's lineage has been wandering for a long time, and the lonely minister's green blood paid Qingqiu. In the tenth year of Shaoxing, the Song and Jin Dynasties fought fiercely against Jianghuai, and the Central Plains was devastated. In Qian, Chongdezhou, western Zhejiang, in the Zhao family's old house in the first courtyard, a cry broke through the fog of troubled times. The bloodline of the Great Song Dynasty clan was born in the turmoil. For the rest of its life, it will be closely entangled with the situation of Pianan, the sword in the court, and the clear flow of Neo-Confucianism. He moved around for half his life, worked hard to govern, guarded Western Shu, and sharpened his character in the undercurrents of the government and the public. During the Shaoxi period, Guangzong went crazy to avoid mourning, the two palaces broke up, and the country was in danger. Zhao Ruyu stepped forward, decided on inner Zen, supported Ningzong on the throne, broke the ancestral system of not worshiping the prime minister, and became prime minister. However, the power situation is dangerous, allies turn against each other, relatives are framed, and the clan identity becomes the original sin. He cherished the righteous path of Neo-Confucianism and wanted to reverse the decline, but he was trapped in the Qingyuan Party ban, was wrongfully demoted, and died in a foreign country. This is a tragic song about the ups and downs of the clan of the Southern Song Dynasty. It describes the loyalty and desolation of a lonely generation. It also expresses the fate and helplessness of scholars who keep their hearts and serve their country in troubled times.
