Troubled times are like a kaleidoscope, capable of conjuring up anything unexpected. The warlord Guo Wei ascended to the supreme throne in the world after his family was slaughtered; Chai Rongzhong betrayed his relatives and was on the verge of despair but began his own victorious and magnificent life; Zhao Kuangyin was extremely bored and chose to run away from home. No one was optimistic about his prospects. A few years later, it was his turn to design the blueprint for a new generation of empire. Due to a combination of circumstances, as long as the course of history was slightly normal during this period, it would never have been this result. And these also lead to the differences in the new empire. As a soldier, the founding emperor suppressed the army; he had an undefeated record throughout his life, but he set a record of the lowest land expansion speed among all the founding emperors in the past; standing on a fragmented land, he created unprecedented wealth at an astonishing speed!

Peking University scholar Luo Xin, at the age of fifty-three, fulfilled his long-cherished wish fifteen years ago - to move from Dadu to Xanadu. "At my age, all hopes, dreams, confidence and ideals have been 'blown away by the rain and the wind', leaving only indescribable helplessness, frustration, anger and confusion.

Military, industry, commerce, trade, machinery, minerals, navy, schools, telegraph, etc., All have made great progress from scratch, making the rulers of the empire complacent. However, during these critical ten years, the Westernization New Deal, which aimed at self-improvement, did not further liberate society and release capital, nor did it achieve anything in the creation of institutions.

And in these critical ten years, what opportunities did China miss?

In the 169-year history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Chen Dynasty, which lasted only 33 years, may not be remarkable. People's impression of it may only remain on the absurd emperor Chen Shubao who sang "The flowers in the backyard of the jade tree will not last long". However, the real Chen Dynasty was by no means a dynasty soaked in rouge and gouache. It was fought out in the rain of swords, guns and arrows. In the darkest moments, the Chen Dynasty tenaciously retained the fire of Han culture, and finally waited until the Sui Dynasty was unified and restored the Han family's clothes. So, let us enter the long-dusted golden powder empire of Chen Dynasty!

This book tells the story of the mid-Northern Song Dynasty. Although famous ministers such as Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng, Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi emerged, they faced internal and external troubles and social crises became increasingly serious. In such an environment, the Northern Song Dynasty ushered in an era of change. Renzong appointed Fan Zhongyan and others to implement the New Deal, but because it violated the interests of the aristocracy and bureaucrats, the opposition was huge, and the reform was immediately suspended. Yingzong re-appointed important reformist ministers in an attempt to remedy the long-standing shortcomings, but due to premature death of illness, little was accomplished. Soon after Shenzong ascended the throne, he summoned Wang Anshi to Beijing to implement reforms. Under the attack of the conservative forces, it struggled to maintain the New Deal. After that, the Song army was defeated by Xixia twice, and Shenzong died in depression. Empress Dowager Gao listened to politics behind the curtain, and the new law was abolished. After the death of Empress Dowager Gao, Zhezong took over the government personally, deposed the old party, appointed a new party, and restored the new law. But at this time, the new law has become a butcher knife for party disputes, and the essence of the reform has been completely lost. The era of change that the four generations of emperors of the Zhao family had struggled to support came to an end, and the history of the Northern Song Dynasty would also come to an end.

The history of the turn of the two Song Dynasties reproduced in this book is more like a magical suspense drama, full of unexpected and absurd reversals, which sometimes make people rush with blood, sometimes fill them with righteous indignation, but always cannot stop. The wealthy, prosperous, and civilized Northern Song Dynasty was at its peak. It was already the eighth generation of Emperor Huizong. The ruling group was luxurious and corrupt. After four generations of reforms without any results, the building was about to collapse. The emergence of the Six Thieves was a historical necessity. They led the implementation of a series of major erroneous measures that completely emptied the Northern Song Dynasty's national power. At the same time, the Jin Dynasty rose and destroyed the Liao Dynasty. The country was at its peak, which was in sharp contrast to the Northern Song Dynasty. The Jingkang Change was inevitable. Although there were bloody battles with strong generals and troops such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jie, and exciting victories such as Huang Tiandang, Xianren Pass, and Zhuxian Town, it seemed that the disadvantages of the Southern Song Dynasty were reversed.

In the history of China, there are three people who have played a very important role. They are Confucius. His greatest contribution is to democratize education and introduce education to the people, making the Chinese one of the nations that value education most in the world. The second is Chen Sheng.

The qualifications of the emperor broke the blood monopoly of the kings, generals and ministers; the third is Wu Zetian. Her greatest contribution is to pioneer the equality of men and women in politics. Although she is not as turbulent as the first two, she is still commendable. In a society where men control everything, she has received such an honor, which has to be admired!
