Iron-Blooded Mission: the Revenge of the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty

After the powerful Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated by the emerging Song Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Li Yu, the late leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was taken captive to Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and was poisoned by Song Taizong two years later. Li Yu's grievance went to heaven to redress his grievances. By chance, he met his grandfather who was the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Under his grandfather's arrangement, he possessed Yang Guanghua, the newly promoted champion, and relied on special means to become the royal secretary of the new emperor Huizong who had just ascended the throne. He was particularly favored and highly relied upon by Huizong. With this unique advantage, he ostracized Huizong and made Huizong indulge in poetry, music, calligraphy, painting, horseback riding, football, and women. He cultivated treacherous ministers such as Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu, which led to the corruption of the government and the decline of people's livelihood; Later, he instigated Huizong to join forces with the Jin to destroy the Liao Dynasty, which eventually led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. Huizong, Qinzong and nearly ten thousand people in the imperial court were kidnapped by the Jin. Emperors Huizong and Qinzong died in Wuguocheng and Yanjing one after another. Most of the other captives were tortured to death. At this point, all the revenge goals of the Southern Tang Dynasty Empress were achieved. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
