Synopsis

933 AD

A story of political intrigue set during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. No golden finger; a slow burn.

That year,

Zhao Kuangyin, the future Song Taizu, was still a little boy in split-crotch pants.

Zhao Pu, the chancellor who would later govern the realm with half of the Analects, had only just learned to run.

Li Siyuan of Later Tang died, and his third son, Li Conghou, hurriedly took the throne, hoping to weaken the military governors.

Li Congke, his adopted son and the military governor of Fengxiang, was sharpening his blades, ready to seize the throne.

Shi Jingtang, his son-in-law guarding Taiyuan, refused to give up his military command and began stockpiling provisions and training troops.

Yelü Deguang, far away in Khitan, was also watching hungrily, coveting the Central Plains.

The whole realm was devouring its people.

Having become Chai Rong, he looked out upon a landscape of ruin, with cries of suffering everywhere and bones stretching for a thousand miles.

He looked at the emperors who had come and gone in this realm, then studied them for a long while. Oh, they were all one family.

But what did that have to do with the common people? Who would look after them?

So he rose and struck at this wretched age, carving out a bright and peaceful world. He forged a golden age of peace, where the old had someone to rely on and the young had someone to teach them.

The land is soaked in blood, with cries of suffering on every side; all it takes is one resolve to save the people!

Looking for Books About the Song Dynasty!!!

I remember a great book, but I've forgotten the title. The gist is that the male lead gets taken away by the Black and White Impermanence before he actually dies. He gets a job in the underworld, where he helps emperors from history let go of their resentment. The first person he helps is Zhao from the Song dynasty...

Any Stories About Someone Who Transmigrates to Different Dynasties and Helps Various Emperors Rise to Power? No Romance

I want a story where the protagonist transmigrates back to a historical dynasty and takes off with all kinds of golden fingers. No romance, no romance, no romance! A career-focused protagonist who strives to avoid learning foreign languages and get a four-day workweek. Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, the Tang dynasty, that sort of thing. No romance!
