The Yan Dynasty was founded a hundred years ago and has been passed down to Emperor Yongxi for three generations. Today, the Holy Sage is over sixty years old, frail and sick, and the voice of "imperial power is falling apart" is gradually rising in the court - Li Peijin, the king of Jing'an in the north, holds a hundred thousand Xuanjia troops, the king of Chu in the south has his own troops, and Huang Song (father of Huang Tiansheng), the minister of civil affairs in the central court, colludes with the commander of the imperial army, and the undercurrent of the three parties' forces is surging.
Ten years ago, Shen Lie, the general of Zhenbei, led the Xuanjia Army to quell the rebellion in northern Xinjiang. However, he was framed by traitors as having "liaison with the enemy" and his entire family was executed. Only the only daughter Shen Jiao was rescued by a loyal servant and hid in her ancestral home in the south of the Yangtze River. Three years ago, her grandfather died of illness and Shen Jiao returned to Beijing. Her stepmother Luo Xinci (formerly Shen Lie's concubine, later Fu Zheng) appeared to be "virtuous and virtuous", but in fact she colluded with Huang Song's son Huang Tiansheng to covet the "Zhenbei Soldier Talisman" left by the Shen family - this talisman can control half of the Xuanjia Army, and is a must-have for all forces.
And Jingan King Li Peijin was Shen Lie's deputy general at that time. He was well aware that Shen Lie had been wronged and secretly protected Shen Jiao. However, he was feared by many parties because of his military power. He was falsely accused of "collaborating with the enemy" three years ago. The imperial doctor judged that she would "not live more than three years", but in fact he was suffering from chronic and severe poison.
A "wrong marriage" tied Shen Jiao and Li Peijin together.
