Nine Sons of Tian Family

In the forty-first year of Dahengjinghe, the plaque of the prosperous times was still hanging on the city wall of Chengjing, but the national treasury only had half a year's expenses left. The grain accounts in the capital's warehouses were reduced to seven out of ten, and the 240,000 troops in the north could not wait for their military pay. The old emperor Xiao Jingyuan was slow to establish a new heir, so he handed over the military power, financial power, criminal power, maritime trade and Qing Dynasty to his nine sons respectively, allowing them to restrain and fight each other. The seventh prince, Xiao Chengyan, whose family is in decline, has no soldiers, no money, and no prominent disciples. He only knows how to manage rivers and provide disaster relief all year round, and knows how a piece of imperial edict can turn into food, and how it can turn into a dead person under layers of exploitation. When he was a boy, he tried to save his mother, but saw his mentor die unjustly. As an adult, he just wanted to stay away from the throne, but found that those who did not fight would become troubles that the winner must get rid of. A false edict to close the city, three million stones of Beijing grain that disappeared, and two authentic edicts at the same time pushed the nine brothers to the palace gate. Some people rely on their direct descendants, some hold heavy troops, some buy all the grain ships in the world, and some want to use cruel methods to cleanse the court. Xiao Chengyan could settle the world's accounts, but he couldn't figure out which brother or innocent person would have to pay for each victory. When he finally reached the throne, he realized that the hardest thing was not to defeat the eight brothers, but not to become his father after sitting on it.
