Three years ago, he was Kangxi Tuogu's important minister and Yongzheng's "uncle". He held the military power of the Nine Sects and heard the late emperor's last secret instructions with his own ears.
Three years later, he was a prisoner on death row in the Zongren Mansion and a traitor to the emperor. A white silk silk was hanging on the beam, and in his arms was a white jade ring engraved with the word "Choose carefully".
From the mutual support of life and death on the snowy night in Changchun Garden, to the confrontation of swords and swords at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony; from the "never betray" in the Yangxin Palace, to the confrontation between the emperor and his ministers in prison - how did Longkodo and Yongzheng, the close relatives of the emperor and ministers who once trusted each other with their lives, step by step towards the end of life and death?
When the edict under the plaque of "Justice and Brightness" has become a foregone conclusion, who still remembers that snowy night when Kangxi held Longkodo's hand tightly and said the unfinished sentence "If not, you should..."?
This is a story about power, trust and betrayal.
Chess players and chess pieces, uncles and nephews, loyal ministers and traitors - often just a thought, a step away.
