In the Dajing Dynasty, not long after the death of the first emperor, the new emperor ascended the throne for three years, and the foundation was not stable. The court was divided into three factions: the Prince Faction, the Three Princes Faction, and the Neutral Faction. Because the Duke of Zhen Guo held the military power in the capital, he became the object of attraction and fear from all parties. In order to stabilize the status of the prince, the emperor decreed that Shen Weiwan, the legitimate daughter of Duke Zhen Guo, be married to the prince.
