The modern soul Zhao Kuangyin opened his eyes, he was already wearing a yellow robe, and it was the time of troubled times. This is Chenqiaoyi, this is the first year of Jianlong, this is the moment when the history books turn the page - but what he wants to rewrite is the entire history of civilization.
Starting with a glass of wine to release military power, he started an unprecedented reform: establishing a staff headquarters, issuing national banknotes, establishing a polytechnic, and promulgating a prototype constitution... When gunpowder roared for the first time at the head of Youzhou City, when ships raised sails in Quanzhou Port, and when the debate about "co-governance between kings and scholar-bureaucrats" rang out in the political hall, a Song Dynasty that was different from any historical record was being born with difficulty in his hands.
However, the backlash of history is coming quietly: the old troops are doubtful, the brothers are separated, the Khitan cavalry is suppressing the situation, and the illusion of "candle shadow and sound of ax" that keeps flashing in his mind is more like the sword of Damocles hanging above his head - can he find a way out for this premature new civilization in the tear between tradition and future?
This is a lonely man's experiment, a choice at the fork in the road of civilization. Let's see how he, who traveled through time as Taizu of the Song Dynasty, solved the fate of the dynasty with his thousand-year wisdom, and created a new powerful and civilized China with his own hands in the bloody and romantic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
