Branch Breaking Order

The Dajing Dynasty had been a country for a hundred years, and its literary style was at its peak, but its military equipment was slightly lax. Above the court, the Qingliu Party, headed by the civil servant group, is fighting against the noble families who hold military power, and undercurrents are surging. Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is a world-famous and prosperous place. It is not only rich in silk tea, but also gave birth to countless literati. The Su family is a prominent family in Suzhou. They have been scholarly for generations and are famous all over the world for their hairpin-shaped regular script. The head of the family, Su Boyong, is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He is an upright man, but he was accidentally involved in a party dispute and was framed and imprisoned. The Su family has declined since then. The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun in the north is an important border defense town in Dajing. It has been in confrontation with the grassland tribes all year round. The Gu family was the sect of General Yan Yun and guarded Youzhou for generations. After General Gu died in battle, his son Gu Yun inherited the title and became famous as a young man, known as the "Jade Faced General". However, due to the suspicion of the court, he was transferred back to the capital, promoted openly and secretly, but in fact his military power was stripped away. In the markets of Dajing, storytellers and opera singers, sellers of rouge and gouache, and traveling peddlers create a prosperous scene, but there are also countless grievances and love between children. But under the surface of this prosperous age, the imperial power is declining, party disputes are intensifying, and a storm sweeping the government and the opposition is quietly brewing.
