In 1126 AD, Da Jin went south to attack Bianjing City in one fell swoop, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. The Hui and Qin clans of the Song Dynasty were deposed as commoners and escorted to the north. Wanyan Wushu, the famous general of the Jin Dynasty, was obsessed with the "jade ax", a national treasure of the Northern Song Dynasty, and forced Song Huizong in every possible way. However, during the confrontation, he lost the jade ax and fell into a thousand-year-old dry well. Suddenly, the jade light reflected the sky.
"History of the Song Dynasty: The Benji of Taizu" records that "On the night of October 20, 976 AD, Taizu of the Song Dynasty died in the Wansui Palace at the age of fifty." "Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian" records that "it was the evening when the emperor summoned the king of Jin to join his party, and he retreated at night." "Xu Xiangshan Wild Records" records "the sound of axes and the shadows of candles."
On October 20, the ninth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty, on that heart-breakingly cold night with flying snow and snowy nights, the sound of axes and the shadows of candles, what happened? Why did the strong Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin die overnight, and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, became emperor the next day. Did Zhao Guangyi kill his brother to seize power, or did Zhao Kuangyin die suddenly overnight and adhere to the "Golden Chamber Alliance" and pass the emperor to Zhao Guangyi? Can the truth of history be revealed? Is there a deep estrangement between the two brothers? If it existed, what would it be? Can Zhao Guangyi be allowed to make such a move?
Thousands of years of reincarnation and dreams. Twelve years ago, I learned about the history of "The Sound of Axes and Shadows of Candles." Since then, I have been accompanied by nightmares day and night, day after day, year after year, and I have been tortured for 12 years. This nightmare appeared frequently half a year ago, and each time the nightmare became more torturous, enough to take Meng Haoyi's life. In order to verify the historical truth, Meng Haoyi was admitted to the Department of History and Archeology of Dongda University with the highest score in the country, and engaged in historical research on the Northern Song Dynasty. However, as graduation approaches, two men in black ingeniously set up a puzzle, and Meng Haoyi falls deeply into it. Gongyi City, Henan Province, the main site of the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Tombs. In that deserted and unmanaged abandoned imperial tombs, a series of strange events followed. Can Meng Haoyi, who was already mentally weak, withstand the heavy blows? Her mentor Professor Chen Xianzhou, best friend and classmate Deng Ye, and senior brother Duanmu Yinfan have set up traps one by one. Can she solve the many traps and puzzles deep in Meng Haoyi? How about getting rid of all the stuck nightmares?
"The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind", all the puzzles are a puzzle within a puzzle, and the chief designer of all the manipulations behind the scenes is...
Prosperity has passed away, things have changed and people have changed. Thousands of years of reincarnation have ended here. All historical truth is ultimately a "phantom with the sound of an axe"!
