[Political Intrigue] [Iron-Fisted Emperor] [Play the pig to eat the tiger] [Ensemble Historical Cast]
In the autumn of the second year of Wucheng, Emperor Ming of Zhou, Yuwen Yu, drank poisoned wine and entrusted his heir to others with his dying breath.
The soul of a modern historian awakened in the body of Yuwen Yong, Duke of Lu. The moment he opened his eyes, he found himself in a bloodbath: Yuwen Hu held all the power and had already murdered two emperors!
He had no System, only a historical perspective spanning more than a thousand years and an unfathomable mastery of imperial strategy.
Facing his cousin Yuwen Hu, who held the court in his grip and commanded the military,
Yuwen Yong concealed his edge behind a facade of humility and obedience.
He used patience and stealth as his blade, maneuvering carefully through the turbulent court in Chang'an.
Beyond the borders, Gao Changgong, Prince of Lanling, and the famed general Hulü Guang of Northern Qi watched like hunting tigers.
On the northern frontier, Turkic Khagan Mugan leveraged his power to demand bribes. At home, the Eight Pillar States' aristocratic clans were deeply entrenched, while Buddhist and Daoist temples swallowed up farmland and hollowed out the nation.
After twelve years of enduring hardship and biding his time, he finally unsheathed his blade in a single thunderous stroke!
He purged the powerful minister, reformed the military system, suppressed Buddhism to strengthen Zhou, and marched east to raze Ye City.
When the iron cavalry of Northern Zhou drank from the Yangtze, Yuwen Yong stood atop his war chariot:
"All under the light of the sun and moon, all reached by rivers and streams, shall be subjects of Great Zhou. Can I undo the tragedy of my early death and bring an end to these three hundred years of chaos with my own hands?"
