In the first year of Yuanxi, a cold wind blew snowflakes across Dan Tu. A social animal who died suddenly while working overtime unexpectedly opened his eyes and turned out to be Liu Yifu, the eldest son of Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.
According to history books, this prince was dissolute and dissolute. He was deposed and killed by powerful officials such as Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang a year after he ascended the throne. He also died along with his second brother Liu Yizhen, which became a footnote to the short life of the Liu Song Dynasty.
After resurrecting his life, facing the chess game of the troubled times when his father Liu Yu was about to usurp the Jin Dynasty and establish the Song Dynasty, looking at the murderous eyes of Xu Xianzhi and others, and listening to the wailing of the refugees in Jingkou and the neighing of the horses in the north, Liu Yifu tightened his grip on the bronze sword in his hand:
"History? From today on, I will rewrite it!"
He is no longer the playboy, but a step-by-step prince:
Settling refugees in Jingkou, gathering young men to train private soldiers, and laying the initial foundation for themselves;
Helped his father reorganize household registration, supervise the production of weapons, and gain trust in both the military and political fields;
Secretly win over loyal and brave ministers such as Tan Daoji and Wang Shaozhi to dismantle the power network of the Xu and Fu groups;
In the undercurrent of the Zen Ceremony, the smoke of the Northern Expedition battlefield, and the calculations inside and outside the East Palace, he narrowly escaped death again and again.
He wants to guard the country built by his father, protect the loyal people around him, plant Liu Song's flag all over the lost territory in the north, and break the fate of the "short-lived prince" and find his own way to become an emperor in the war of the late Jin Dynasty.
This is a story about rebirth, strategy and conquest. It is also an epic about a young man who uses his wisdom and iron blood to reshape the destiny of a dynasty in troubled times.
