Murong Jingxuan, a graduate student in the Department of History, accidentally traveled to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (918). With his solid historical knowledge, he emerged in the battle to defend Weizhou and saved Xiao Chuo, a Xianbei woman. He circled between the Later Liang, the Later Tang, and the Khitan, and finally defected to Li Cunxu, helping him destroy the Liang and establish the Later Tang. After the earthquake, he took the initiative to expand his power and accumulate strength in Hebei. Li Cunxu's tyranny caused great chaos in the world. Jingxuan was proclaimed emperor by his generals, and his country was named "Yan". After ascending to the throne, he implemented reforms such as the imperial examination, farming, and levying light corvee and low taxes, ending the troubled times and creating peace. His relationship with Xiao Chuo lasted throughout, and he finally gave up and retired to seclusion in his prime, leaving behind a legend. Gay friend Xuanyuan Haolong provided limited technological support through quantum signals and became a hidden line. The story goes from personal survival to caring for the world, fully presenting the growth arc of a generation of founding kings.
The concept of "governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies" runs through the whole article - governing a country is like cooking. It requires mastering the heat, not turning it frequently, and more importantly, it needs to be in compliance with the nature of the ingredients. This idea will be integrated into every decision of Jingxuan: from "not disturbing the people" when defending the city, to "light corvee and small taxes and resting with the people" when governing the country, to the final choice of "retiring after success" to retire.
