Jiangshan Weizhong, also known as Da Qing Diguo, is a 2002 Chinese television series based on legends about the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors of the Qing dynasty. The series was first broadcast in mainland China in December 2002.

Plot

The story is set in the Qing dynasty during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor. Yongzheng's harsh and brutal policies lead to widespread discontent and dissension. Meanwhile, a secret death squad, named after their dreaded weapon — the flying guillotine — goes around slaying the emperor's enemies.

The young crown prince, Hongli, disguises himself as a commoner and embarks on an inspection tour to Jiangnan. There, the prince evades assassination attempts orchestrated by nobles plotting to seize the throne, and uncovers a shocking truth about his birth and origin. Besides, he also meets and befriends two maidens, Lü Siniang and Yuniang, who turn out to be actually planning to assassinate Yongzheng. Lu Siniang is the granddaughter of Lu Liuliang, whose family was executed. She trained under Princess Changping, the last princess of the former dynasty.

gollark: Well, see, it decreases unemployment because people can work on robot development, but it increases unemployment because robots theoretically might put people out of work.

gollark: Or just two governments competing on the free market. But controlling the same land area.

gollark: We should have two monopoly commissions which compete for the... monopoly... removal... market?

gollark: I wonder if the game lets you create an anarchocapitalist paradise.
