Ten Years of Success

In the ninth year of Yuanhe's reign in Daning, the palace walls were heavily guarded and the blood suddenly rose. In order to consolidate his power, Emperor Ning Ai assassinated his brother Guangling Marquis in the Xingqing Palace. The brothers killed each other, and the blood debt of the clan was buried deep in the palace. After killing his brother, Emperor Ai changed his name to Yuan Xinghe, and his posthumous title was Emperor Ningyang in later generations. Emperor Yang was violent and extravagant by nature. During his reign, he carried out large-scale construction projects, enslaved the people, and repeatedly launched troops to conquer the Liao region. Years of war have depleted the elite soldiers and horses that Daning has accumulated over the past century and the national treasury savings. The people's livelihood is in decline, the foundation of the court is crumbling, and the once prosperous Daning era has completely fallen into decline. In the seventh year of Xinghe, the resentment between the government and the opposition completely broke out, and the Ningyu Palace upheaval that shocked the world suddenly came. The powerful minister Liu Yu led his clan forces to force the palace to seize power and subvert the imperial line. After the coup, all members of the Liu clan were granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and foreign ministers became dictatorial and power was transferred to private families. This completely broke Daning's century-old monopoly on imperial power, and the root of the dynasty's collapse was deeply rooted. Since then, the imperial power of Daning has completely fallen by the wayside, and the throne has become a puppet. The twelve successive generations of emperors were mostly young emperors who came to the throne. Emperor Chong, Emperor Huan, Emperor You, and Emperor Shei took turns to ascend the throne, but they were all unable to sit on the dragon throne. The chaos in the court continued, and powerful relatives and ministers took turns to control the government. The imperial framework collapsed and the laws were weakened. The court is in decay, the people of the world have lost their hearts, wars and wars are raging everywhere. Countless small-scale peasant uprisings occurred one after another. Although they were all defeated, they completely shook the foundation of Daning's rule. Until the unprecedented Beiguting Uprising broke out, hundreds of thousands of martyrs rose up, and the war swept through dozens of states and counties such as Yuezhou, Wuzhou, Fuzhou, Shuzhou, and Guangling. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are shattered, and the sky is full of chaos. Ten years of success, half a lifetime of ups and downs. When the intrigues in the palace are intertwined with the disputes in the troubled times, the chess game in the temple is startling at every step, and the close friends in the troubled times stay and fight with each other. The overthrown dynasty, the misplaced imperial power, and the grudges that have been entangled for ten years are slowly unfolding in the troubled times. A tragic song of the destruction of Daning, and a deep-rooted love in the power and lust, are all hidden in this brocade. Purpose: Undying love
