This manuscript tells the past and present life of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. He was born as a general, joined the army with a weak title, suffered several setbacks in troubled times, and finally established himself as the king, wearing a yellow robe, ending the chaos and disputes of the Five Dynasties. This manuscript is full of intrigues and hegemony, including the political games of troubled times, the intrigues of ancient official circles, and the unscrupulous means of fighting for power. It completely displays the political scene and world situation of the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty, as well as the rise and fall of dynasties, and the game of interests of rulers. It is an ukiyo-e of troubled times.
