Introduction to the novel: Hidden Dragon Yu Yuan
The glorious Daqing has been peaceful for a hundred years, but the emperor's star is swaying and undercurrents are surging.
The fifth son of the emperor, Wu Yu, was fifteen years old, with peerless appearance and graceful demeanor. He and the prince Wu Xun were brothers from the same mother. In front of others, he is a gentle and jade-like young man who sings about the wind and the moon; in the dark, he is a calm and sharp Qianlong with superb martial arts skills and a good understanding of tactics. The prince Wu Xun is gentle and kind, but he is frail and sickly. Wu Yu quietly builds a barrier for him. The deep brotherly love also hides far-reaching considerations for the future of the empire.
He has two close friends who are also future humerus: one is Chen Zekai, the only son of Duke Yan, who is seventeen years old. He is arrogant and taciturn, and has a halberd that is as powerful as anyone else. He only regards Wu Yu as his master and friend and is loyal; the other is Li Zhao, the son of Li Hailin, the official secretary, who is seventeen years old. He is thoughtful, elegant, easy-going, and full of wisdom. The three have been together since childhood and have a deep friendship. Together, they experienced the first confrontation of power in the court and emerged as leaders.
In order to accumulate strength, but also to stay away from the whirlpool of the capital. When Wu Yuchu was granted the title of King An, he used an iron fist to eliminate officials and recruit talented people. He reformed people's livelihood, trained elite soldiers, and personally built the world-famous Daqing cavalry and heavy armor regiments. He conquered the Turks in the north and Tibet in the west. His illustrious military exploits helped him become the king of Qin, which made him powerful in all directions.
The emperor's star fell, and undercurrents surged in the capital. Wu Yu led his cavalry to Beijing to support his brother Wu Xun's successful ascension to the throne, and was awarded the title of General Tiance. However, his elder brother was weak, and for the sake of the country, he took the throne a year later.
At the age of twenty-three, Wu Yu ascended to the throne. The hidden dragon comes out of the abyss, and the emperor comes to the world. He will use his unparalleled courage and wisdom to reform long-standing shortcomings, strengthen the armed forces, and lead the Daqing Empire to an unprecedented iron-blooded prosperity.
