This book takes official history as its backbone and literature as its wings, focusing on those "Purple Chen" masters who sit at the center of the power vortex:
Look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who defeated the Xiongnu with his iron cavalry, but he was also deeply involved in the suspicion of witchcraft in his later years;
After Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty created the prosperous age of Zhenguan, how can the blood of Xuanwu Sect be washed away?
Sigh: Wu Zetian aspired to the Ninth Five-Year Plan as a daughter. Who can comment on her merits and demerits under the unmarked monument?
Sadly, Emperor Chongzhen, who had been diligent in his work for seventeen years, finally could not turn the tide and committed suicide in Meishan;
Indebted to Emperor Kangxi, his literary and martial arts created a prosperous age, but his descendants fell into the abyss in the dream of the celestial dynasty...
Power and responsibility, ideals and reality, ambitions and selfish desires, destiny and human affairs... Collide fiercely in every rise of dynasties, every court strife, every prosperity in the prosperous times and the tragedy of the end. The Dragon Throne is not only the position of supremacy, but also a testing ground for human nature under extreme power.
