About This Novel
"The Great Song Dynasty: Chess Game" is the second part of He Hui's long series of historical novels "The Great Song Dynasty". In this part, Zhao Kuangyin strives to stabilize the new regime, break up the conspiracy between Li Jun and Daliao, and cleverly shock the Southern Tang Dynasty. The overt or covert, civil or military struggles between the Song, Liao, Southern Tang and many other forces unfolded on the land like a chess game. This big game of chess is interconnected with each other and every step is startling. Han Tong's son Han Minxin conceived a more complicated revenge plan, the emperor's brother Zhao Kuangyi continued to plot to develop his personal power, and Zhao Kuangyin's first adviser, Zhao Pu, struggled between loyalty and betrayal in order to survive. Female images such as Zhao Kuangyin's wife Ruyue and Zhao Guangyi's wife Xiaofu each have their own characteristics, adding another kind of interest to the thrilling political and military stage. Many characters appeared on the stage one after another, and complex human nature collided in reality. The novel depicts a series of vivid characters, ranging from the imperial court to street vendors. Most of these characters were real in history, and some were fictional characters for the purpose of novel creation. The novel not only shows the magnificent struggle scenes between the Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, Khitan and other countries, as well as local forces such as Luzhou and Huainan in the early Northern Song Dynasty, but also shows the colorful social situation in the early Northern Song Dynasty in a layered manner.
