An Idle Man in the Southern Jin

Southern Jin, the third year of the Zhidao era. A time of freedom and prosperity. At this time, Southern Jin's Bianliang is enjoying the peace of the Xianping reign. The land is tranquil, the weather favorable; though bandits cause trouble, the Northern Liao lurk at the borders, and eunuchs hold power, life is generally comfortable and pleasant, free from the chaos of war. During the Lantern Festival that year, a coup takes place in Bianliang. After a minor incident in the coup, Chen Zhongqing, son of the Minister of War, begins to emerge like a rough jade slowly polished to reveal its brilliance. Ten years later, he leaves all rivals in the dust. A peerless statesman among the dukes and marquises. (Historically, there were only the Eastern and Western Jin. This is an alternate history. This is an alternate history. This is an alternate history. Important things are repeated three times!) Reader group: 479272731
