The Liao Dynasty was peaceful for a hundred years, and the world was like a brocade.
In the Cong Mansion in the capital, peace and prosperity flourished with singing and dancing within the high walls of the Zhumen; on the Tianhe River, thousands of ships competed with each other, and coal, grain, banknotes, and ordnance went north day and night; in the Royal Cuju Garden, 200,000 eyes looked up at the emperor's peace.
But under the skin of this prosperous age, it was already rotten.
Officials committed suicide one after another, dirty silver went missing at sea, Xichang hawks and dogs killed people in the middle of the night, the Ming sect and the Ming sect were secretly fighting, and the wealthy people in Yingjun siphoned off the wealth drained from the empire in the name of business charity. Everyone thought that the emperor was addicted to fancy weapons and did not care about government affairs, but they did not know that he had already settled in the dark; everyone thought that the chief minister was powerful and powerful, but they did not know that a net was quietly tightening from the palace walls, factory guards, clan, border troops and harem drafts.
Yuwen Xuanxi, the evil star of Xichang, wiped out old cases with one sword, but for the first time in the sea of blood, he saw that he was also a pawn.
Kaidong, the only son of the Tian family, originally wanted to live a stable life, but his father pushed him step by step towards the edge of the dragon throne.
Tan Youchang, a junior official at Zongzheng Temple, came from a poor family and was covered in mud. He just wanted to save his two sisters and escape from death, but in the blood of a river boat, he received a key that could leverage the imperial machinery.
An empire that is about to collapse, and a group of people who refuse to accept their fate.
The prosperous age is like a chess game, and all living beings are sons.
But what if the chess pieces also start eating people?
Purpose: Official power struggle
