It Is Difficult to Survive the Long Wind and the Old Man Returns

Prologue·Dragon Kingdom Chess Game, Storm Takes Root After the fall of Dajing, heroes competed with each other, and the war lasted for more than ten years. In the end, the Chen family unified the country and named it the Dragon Kingdom. When the dynasty was first established, everything was in ruins, but peace was only on the surface. Outside, there are barbarians on the border who are watching eagerly, waiting for opportunities to plunder southward; inside, there are undercurrents, the foundation is turbulent, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, like a giant airtight net. Among the royal family, Emperor Chen Yisheng has great talents and thoughtful ideas, but he is hampered by the constraints of his aristocratic family. As the princes gradually grew up, each had his own ambitions, and secretly wooed the civil servants, relatives, and military generals in the capital. They were suspicious of each other, and the flames of the battle for the throne were quietly planted. The warmth between brothers is getting thinner and thinner day by day. Under the imperial power, the love between flesh and blood is as light as grass. There are many factions in the court. The old scholarly family has been dormant for hundreds of years, observing etiquette and Confucianism, and secretly accumulating strength; the new military elite holds military power, and their arrogance is high; and there is a mysterious national master sitting at the star observatory, holding transcendent real power. The Imperial Master has no intention of usurping the throne, but he has a broad vision. He uses the entire Dragon Kingdom as a chessboard and all living beings as pawns to plan for the long term, just to avoid future catastrophes and stabilize the country and the common people. The Ye family is an important force secretly connected by the Imperial Master. Mr. Ye is a man of deep character, with no expressions of joy or anger. On the surface, he is just an elegant scholar, but in fact, he is deeply involved in this world chess game. Every word and every action is hidden in his calculations.
