The Jingnan Rebellion of the Great Yong: Burning Dragon Pavilion

The Great Yong Dynasty had ruled for a hundred years, honoring the element of fire, with the imperial family and great clans jointly governing the realm. After the late emperor died suddenly, the seven-year-old young emperor ascended the throne. The empress dowager ruled from behind the curtain, relying on her maternal relatives, the Wei clan, to control the government. Northern tribes were restless, pirates occupied islands in the southeast, honest officials and corrupt ministers in court were locked in bitter conflict, and local princes commanded their own armies and acted independently. The Great Yong realm teetered on the brink of collapse.
