Palace Coup: the Race for Power

The palace was the center of the emperor's power, and the supreme position was not only a representative of prominence and dignity, but also the product of conspiracy and bloodshed. In the small circle of the palace, ministers often kill their kings, and sons kill their fathers; flesh and blood are separated, and brothers and sisters can kill each other; there are people who form cliques for personal gain and take advantage of the situation; there are people who engage in intrigues and add insult to injury; those who follow the rule prosper and become famous for a while, those who go against the rule perish, and bloodshed among the nine tribes... Palace coups have become synonymous with political conspiracy. The dust of history covers everything, but the bloodstains remain the same.
