A Minister Is Not a King

The Yongjia Rebellion caused the Central Plains to sink. The Wuhu cavalry trampled the palace palaces of Luoyang and dragged Chinese civilization into a century-long darkness. In the temple of the Eastern Jin Dynasty located on the left side of the Yangtze River, high-ranking members of aristocratic families chatted about the country, and the survivors of the north watched the southern geese in the dust. It was in such troubled times that Lu Xingzhou opened his eyes. From an unknown soldier in the army to the enemy-defeating commander on the banks of Feishui River, he used 80,000 Beifu soldiers to overwhelm the former Qin's million-strong army, and abruptly put China's destiny back on track. He sent his troops to cross north and regained his old capital. He rebuilt the city on the ruins of Luoyang and also rebuilt the hearts and minds that had been shattered in the troubled times. Undercurrents of the throne, Jiuxi, and abdication came one after another, but he, who had overwhelming power in the world, pushed away the imperial crown. He doesn't want a family world that changes with dynasties. What he wants is a world where he can stand firm on his own. He opened a Taixue to educate the children of poor families, repaired new farm tools and encouraged teachers to farm mulberry trees, established a permanent warehouse to stabilize prices, and compiled a Taiping policy to pass down the spiritual methods of governing the world. To eradicate long-standing evils internally and to pacify Northern Xinjiang externally, he poured all his talents and knowledge into this war-torn land, just to allow the people to have a stable meal and to keep the Chinese cultural heritage alive.
