Destiny Is Difficult to Survive, and Peace Is Coming

Xie Qingyan, a Confucian scholar, was born in troubled times. He originally wanted to survive in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, but he saw with his own eyes that Hu Qi trampled the mountains and rivers, and the refugees were everywhere. When the butcher's knife hung over the heads of the women and children, his hands were stained with blood for the first time. In order to protect the people behind him, he stood alone at the mountain gate with his sword in hand, facing the torrent of cavalry with his frail body. The awe-inspiring energy in his chest resonated with his will to die, and he struck out with a shocking sword. When he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he received enlightenment from a mysterious Taoist and was taught the Taoist method of refining qi. From then on, he embarked on the thorny road of Confucianism and Taoism, and used martial arts to protect the Tao. Later, he integrated the true understanding of Buddhism and walked out of his own way. Troubled times are like a furnace, tempering people's hearts and ideals. He recruited refugees, fought against the barbarians, and dealt with the conflicts between the clans and secret wars in the court. From the scholar in front of the White Horse Temple, to the commander-in-chief of Huainan City, to the founder of the New Deal in Yecheng... Xie Qingyan gradually understood that it is easy to save one person, but difficult to save the world; it is easy to break the thief in the mountain, but it is difficult to break the thief in the heart. True salvation requires not only the cultivation and courage to turn the tide, but also the need to reestablish the foundation of civilization and light the unquenchable fire in the broken mountains and rivers. This is a road no one has traveled. How can the Confucian ideal of benevolent government, the Taoist law of nature, and the Buddhist compassion be integrated into the reality of blood and fire? When war breaks out again in northern Xinjiang and undercurrents surge in the south of the Yangtze River, Xie Qingyan, who has become prime minister, will use his lifelong cultivation and life as fuel to fight for a possible bright future in this dark era.
