Late Song Dynasty: From Imposter Magistrate to Emperor Donning the Imperial Robe

In 1117 AD, the seventh year of the Zhenghe reign of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wanyan Wugumai led his officials to bestow upon Wanyan Agut the title of Great Sage Emperor, changing the era name to Tianfu, and raising the banner of rebellion against the powerful Liao Dynasty in the north. Meanwhile, in Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, the former minor official skilled in Cuju (ancient Chinese football) was now grandly appointed Grand Commandant by Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji), reaching the pinnacle of power. This frivolous emperor was also officially recognized by his officials as the Daoist Emperor. Amidst the frivolous life of Bianliang, the Northern Song court continued its daily debauchery, completely oblivious to the impending threat of war from the north. Just as this era was about to collapse, Li Chong arrived in this time, and his first priority was survival. Standing before Yanggu County, Li Chong was filled with anxiety. "Can I, this imposter magistrate, really get away with this?"... Many years later, Li Chong, clad in a yellow robe, looked utterly helpless: "Alas! You people, for your own wealth and power, have truly ruined me."
