In the long history of China, the Qi Dynasty has gone through seven hundred and fifty-six years of ups and downs, bearing numerous ups and downs, honors and disgrace. The story begins in the seventy-ninth year of the Qi Dynasty. At this time, although the Qi Dynasty was prosperous, it was also in deep trouble.
The Beiting Dynasty in the north, based on the Liao Dynasty, was powerful and bullied the Qi Dynasty for many years. The late emperor Qi Jizong had no choice but to sign a contract and gained a short-term peace. The Tubo royal family in the west was at odds with the Qi Dynasty. Although they had not yet met each other in military force, there was an undercurrent surging. In addition, there are seventeen countries with large and small powers surrounding it, and the situation is turbulent.
Zhao Zhongcheng, as the fourteenth son, had extraordinary archery skills, but he was left out in the cold due to the Qi Dynasty's culture of emphasizing civility over martial arts and his father Zhao Jingwen's extreme preference for the crown prince Zhao Zhongheng. Zhao Jingwen inherited the throne at the age of twenty-seven, but died of illness at the age of thirty-seven, passing the throne to Zhao Zhongheng.
Zhao Zhongheng ascended the throne at the age of sixteen. He died of illness after only three years in power. Because he had no children and was extremely fond of Zhao Zhongheng, he passed the throne to his fourteenth brother. After Zhao Zhongcheng came to the throne, he changed the decline of the Qi Dynasty. With his extraordinary strategies and courageous decisions, he reached the pinnacle of both civil and military skills. He attracted all the nations to come to the court and the people lived a prosperous and happy life. How does he rise from adversity, and how does he turn the tide and create a prosperous world? A magnificent legend has begun.
