Li Xin, the founding emperor of the Tianbei Dynasty, together with Song Yunzhi and Lu Zhao, established the kingdom in troubled times.
The sword opens up borders, diplomacy secures the country, and the three of them work together to build a prosperous world.
The divine gift of power has created thousands of miles of foundations, and also spawned endless suspicions.
Heroes on the battlefield died, and lifelong friends drifted away.
A hundred years passed and the dynasty fell.
Snow is falling heavily in the Youling Mausoleum, and the stone tablets are silently engraved with achievements and regrets.
The mountains and rivers remain the same forever, and the old grudges are forever buried in the wind and snow.
Purpose: Power creates a prosperous age but also breeds suspicion. It describes the relationship between monarchs and ministers and their close friends from working together to estrangement and separation. It laments that eternal achievements can never make up for the regrets of the people, and explores the eternal conflict between destiny, desire for power and friendship.
