Synopsis

He may be the founding emperor who is the best at "acting" in Chinese history. In 960 AD, Chen Qiaoyi's carefully planned "forced accession to the throne" made Zhao Kuangyin rise from the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty to the founding monarch of the Song Dynasty. Over a glass of wine, he relieved the founding hero of the country from military power; under the sound of an ax and the shadow of a candle, his mysterious death remains an unsolved case for thousands of years. Some people say that he was a wise king who ended the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and created a prosperous era of civilized rule; others say that he was a conspirator who stole the country and usurped the throne. Even his own brother could not escape his schemes. While he chanted "Don't kill scholar-bureaucrats", he used power to evade the entire military general group; while he promoted "strong trunks and weak branches" to consolidate imperial power, he also laid the groundwork for the weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty. This book will take you back to that era when machinations and ideals were intertwined: See how Zhao Kuangyin resolved the mutiny crisis with a "drunk" scene, and how he exposed his inner fear through a painting of "Visiting Putu on a Snowy Night"; from a tramp to an emperor, how many secrets did he hide in the "Golden Chamber"?
