This book is set in the prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty, and describes the four generations of the Long family who were loyal and loyal, and their life-and-death bond with Emperor Yinsi spanning half their lives, as well as their deep love for family and country.
In the first generation, Longchen was gentle and clever, with unparalleled wisdom. As a young man, he lurked with the emperor. He devoted his life's strategies to assist the emperor in ascending to the throne and stabilizing the court. He was indifferent to power and position throughout his life, only keeping the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers as confidants. He devoted his whole life to the end, but unfortunately it came to an end.
The second generation, Long Jingchen, inherited the spirit of his ancestors. He went on an expedition with a weak crown and armor, and traveled across the five continents and wilderness. With his iron blood, he swept across the countries and unified the world, creating an unprecedented hegemony. However, due to years of fighting and overwork, he fell ill at the age of twenty-two, leaving behind only the glory of the prosperous age.
The third generation of Long Huaijin was a talented man. He understood the hidden worries of the prosperous age at a young age, and laid the foundation of civilization for all ages with the strategy of "writing with the same text, and running with the same track". He had power in the government and the public, but he was sincere and frank. In the end, he was jealous and plotted by the prince. He died with hatred at the age of twenty, leaving the emperor with heartache.
Three generations of loyal and good people, with great achievements and tragic fate. The emperor guarded the three deserted tombs, spent half his life feeling guilty and self-blame, searching the world, and finally found Long Nian'an, the orphan of the fourth generation of the Shen family.
The young man is hidden in the mist and rain of the south of the Yangtze River. He is warm and transparent, untainted by the hustle and bustle of the world. He inherits the character of his ancestors, but avoids the murderous power. The emperor devoted the rest of his life to protecting him, finally repaying his debt for half his life, protecting him from troubles, enjoying honor and favor, and having descendants.
The whole book describes the righteousness of the family and the country, the true love between the emperor and his ministers, the impermanence of fate and the coldness of the human heart. It also describes the sincerity of three generations of loyal martyrs who sacrificed their country and lived up to the common people and their emperor. Finally, the four generations were completed with unbroken loyalty, creating a legend of loyalty that has been passed down through the ages.
