The War of the Five Dynasties had not yet dissipated. Zhao Kuangyin was "forced" to become emperor by a jerry-rigged yellow robe in Chenqiaoyi. Little did he know that this scrupulous mutiny laid the genes for the prosperity and decline of military power in the Song Dynasty.
Huang Paoli's workplace science: Zhao Kuangyin's "forced entrepreneurship" is actually a carefully designed equity allocation;
The secret account of releasing military power over a glass of wine: Shi Shouxin's bargaining style is very similar to modern layoff compensation negotiations;
The shadow of the candle and the sound of the ax in Rashomon: the jade ax stained with blood on a rainy night, the Khitan formation diagram in the concoction, and the thin dog that can hold secret messages in its mouth, spell out the most suspenseful change of emperor;
The Butterfly Effect of Jingkang Shame: The sound of abacus floating out from Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Method,
Here is a historical truth that is even more absurd than the script:
The four words "Serve the Country with Loyalty" on Yue Fei's back are actually a super IP created by the Civil Service Group;
Li Qingzhao's divorce lawsuit contains the code for the economic collapse of the Southern Song Dynasty;
On the eve of the Yashan naval battle, the glaze on the cricket jar beside the little emperor's pillow showed the design of Meng Yuan's firearms.
History is not a one-man show for heroes:
The old embroiderer who sewed Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe opened the "Royal Tailor Shop" in Bianjing fifty years later;
The thin dog that stole the royal meal became a "sacred dog that protects the country" worshiped by the people;
A vendor selling crab buns by the West Lake inadvertently contributed to the Shaoxing peace talks between the Song and Jin Dynasties...
When the fast forward button is pressed on the serious history book:
Wang Anshi's Reform = Song Dynasty's version of the Internet money-burning war
Chanyuan Alliance = a gambling agreement between multinational companies
Cheng Zhuli is very much like today's "Workplace PUA Handbook"
