A ruler skilled in statecraft uses the world as a chessboard, wielding absolute power with one hand, yet remains ruthless. Are there any books about the art of imperial rule in ancient times, covering reading people, political maneuvering, appointing talent, striking back, and seizing power? I want something purely educational. Keep your entertainment-focused stuff away.

Reader note
He is Zhao De, the fourth prince of the empire who is well-dressed and well-fed, but with an imperial order, he hides his name, abandons the honor of being a prince, and joins the battlefield. Starting from an unknown soldier at the bottom, he fought through bloody border crossings and narrowly escaped death, and with his brothers in life and death, he rose step by step in the war-torn world. We meet in the world of mortals, meet a confidant and beauties, hold the affection of our children, and hide the tenderness in our hearts. There are turbulent undercurrents in the court, brotherly suspicions, imperial power struggles, and aristocratic families; on the battlefield in troubled times, famous generals block the road, powerful enemies are around, and life and death are at stake. He has experienced the estrangement between father and son, the estrangement of brothers, the bondage of beauty, the birth of close friends, and the fate of powerful enemies. From a humble soldier, he gradually gained military power, established a reputation, controlled the frontiers, and shocked the government and the public. He broke through the chess game in troubled times and became the king in the world's strife. The golden thrones are just a stone's throw away from each other; thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are within the palm of your hand. Do you want to be sincere and return your power to the emperor? Is it to inherit the eternal legacy and ascend to the 9th Five-Year Plan? When the troubled times come to an end, and the world bows its head - I wonder who in this world would be better than me!
