Third Uncle, This Throne Is Mine

The soul of the special soldier Zhao De passed through the Northern Song Dynasty prince Zhao Dezhao and foresaw the historical fate that his uncle Zhao Guangyi would seize the throne and he would be forced to commit suicide. In order to turn things around, he kept a low profile when he was young: he pretended to be sick and weak to avoid being exposed, secretly formed loyal friends, and cultivated the Shadow Tiger Guard and intelligence network. On the night of the shadow of candles and the sound of axes, relying on the secret edict of the late emperor, he turned the tide and ascended the throne as emperor. After he ascended the throne, he abandoned forward-thinking illusions and implemented pragmatic changes based on the times: he improved the "release of military power over a glass of wine" to reassure the generals, personally conquered and restored the sixteen states of Youyun, abolished strong cadres and weak branches to reshape border defense, and created maritime trade and martial arts examinations to expand national power. Institutional reform took root in reality, recast the vigorous atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, and ended the fate of weakness. From a forbearing prince to a second-generation hero, this is a game of wisdom between a time traveler and history, explaining that real strength comes from institutional innovation that fits the times.
