The Great Merchants of the World

Da Luoluo's description of the Northern Song Dynasty is quite accurate. The idea that holding high office or usurping the throne could change the world is pure fantasy. 😅 The so-called era-changers did not create the era; rather, they and their groups simply followed the tide of history.

Climbing the Heavenly Ladder: The Zhou state's "Ladder to Heaven" was a military expedition, and could be considered a testament to their martial prowess. The "Ladder to Heaven" in the Song Dynasty was a civil service examination, which could be considered a test of literary talent. Class: In the Zhou state, there were two social classes: commoners and citizens.

I couldn't bear to read any longer. The moment the protagonist betrayed the emperor, I felt the book's values ​​and principles clashed with its core message. I've read countless stories where someone claims to be doing the right thing for the world but would betray their friends.

The following year, Empress Dowager Xiao gave birth to Emperor Tianzuo's "posthumous child".

I'd like to ask, I heard from the comments that there's a scene later on where the mother is sent away (although it's a stepmother), is that true? I'm a little afraid to watch it... I'm afraid I'll be fed shit.

The scene where the protagonist sends his mother away is the most criticized part. The key point is that when the protagonist mentioned earlier that he wanted Empress Dowager Liang to marry Emperor Zhezong of Song, he even complained that recognizing a father shouldn't involve having someone else have sex with his mother. Then, the scene where he sends his mother away is arranged...

Up to this point, the territorial distribution of the Jin, Eastern Liao, and Zhou states remains somewhat questionable: the Zhou state controlled Youzhou and parts of Yunzhou, the Liaoxi Corridor, and most of southern, central, and eastern Liaodong, essentially the northern half of the present-day Bohai Rim Economic Zone; the Eastern Liao controlled northern Rehe, most of the Khorchin grasslands…
