When he opened his eyes, he became the youngest Duke of the Dayin Dynasty.
This is an era that is prosperous on the surface but riddled with problems on the inside: mergers and acquisitions by powerful powers, empty treasury, and endless border wars. Above the court, there is a struggle for power and profit, and undercurrents are surging; outside the court, the people are like grass, and their lives are like ants.
As a soul from the era of information explosion, Shen Lang looked at this big game of "the world" and smiled. He has no interest in being a loyal minister and filial son, let alone a tragic hero. He just wants to play the game by his own rules.
Military, business, politics, agriculture, finance, technology... He injected the wisdom of later generations into this ancient body bit by bit, and every step was unexpected. To the common people, he could impose a sea ban, lower taxes, and turn barren land into a granary with plows and Champa rice. He was known as the "Buddha in every household." To his enemies, he could use public opinion to drive a wedge between father and son, use a batch of low-interest loans to drain a country's economy, and annex thousands of miles of fertile land without bloodshed. He became the "Poisonous King" in the eyes of enemy countries.
But by chance, he met her - the empress sitting on the dragon throne, who seemed to have all the power in the world, but was actually shocking every step of the way.
They are the monarchs and ministers who have the most tacit understanding, and they can decide on the strategy of peace and stability with just one look. They are also the most awkward lovers, separated by the dignity of imperial power, the criticism of aristocratic families, and an abyss called "monarch and minister". He said that he was willing to play a game of chess for her that would ensure eternal peace; she said that she just wanted to sit beside him openly after the chess game was over.
I thought this chess game was complicated enough, but his cheap brother, the number one "second-rate" in the capital, a maniac who protects shortcomings, jumped out from time to time and kicked the chessboard.
