The two Song dynasties split apart, and there was bloody intrigue; the son-in-law held the lock, and the emperor's concubine burned the sky
The war in Jingkang has not yet been extinguished, and the security crisis has arisen again. When the Jin Kingdom is under pressure, a well-planned "marriage" involves Gu Yanzhou, a scholar from a poor family, into a huge conspiracy. Under Da Hong's happy dress, Xuan Ji's secret lock of collaborating with the enemy and treason of the Xie family was hidden; when they first met Bloody on the river, the damsel in trouble he rescued turned out to be Zhao Mingxiang, the leader of the Thunderbolt Hall who had a dual identity.
When all the mechanisms are exhausted, who will be the pawn?
Gu Yanzhou holds the ancestral lock in his hand and uses modern science to solve the millennium mystery:
The tapestry wedding dress hides gunpowder, and the candlelight at the wedding banquet is the fuse
Ordnance was sunk under the Zhuque Bridge, and meteorite iron bound the country to its bones.
The mystery is revealed in the bronze sparrow hairpin, blood sacrifice is made to Hun Tian and Lin'an is burned
Two-faced Empress, bloody rivers and lakes
Zhao Mingxiang's phoenix tattoo hides a secret official edict; the tattoo on his collarbone involves the mystery of the imperial guard who fell off a cliff. In the name of the leader of the Thunderbolt Hall, she was in charge of Jiangnan firearms, but in Gu Yanzhou's blood, she glimpsed the interlocking centuries-old national feud.
There is a tide of power and a sea of agencies.
The Xie family used water transport secret warehouses to transport arms and win over poor families by "bringing a son-in-law into an official position"; the star tracker in the underground palace of Baiyun Pavilion and the water-transported armillary sphere at the bottom of the Qiantang River both became weapons in the games between aristocratic families. When the third uncle of the Gu family tore off his mask and the sunken bronze cannon reappeared in the world, a final battle that combined gunpowder smoke and fluid mechanics turned the thirty-mile underground fire tunnel in Lin'an City into a furnace of inferno.
"If this country is destined to overturn, let you and I explode into a new world."
Modern science collides with ancient organ skills, and marriage letters and blood oaths compete with centuries-old plans of aristocratic families. In this huge gamble with the country as the stake and the people as the bet, can the son-in-law and the emperor's concubine burn down the old order and fight for a glimmer of hope in the sea of fire?
Reader comments
A very good new type of novel about a son-in-law. Under the historical background of the Song Dynasty, a son-in-law becoming an official has become a new possibility. Jingkang's blood, family and national conditions, and the new journey of looking after Yanzhou. Lots of suspense, good, worth recommending
