Zhou Yan passed through and became the unpopular school secretary of the East Palace, and found that there were only three years left before the prince Li Chengqian was deposed. He hid in the dark, conveyed secret messages with annotations on ancient books, and used modern knowledge such as epidemic prevention, agricultural reform, and Cao policy as chess pieces to help the lame prince reverse his reputation for violence and win the hearts of poor families.
The prince's reputation was growing, but Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, noticed something strange: "Who is behind the East Palace?"
Baiqisi searched Chang'an and found no such person; the King of Wei set up a trap to test, but was defeated; the court made things difficult for him and became the cornerstone of the New Deal. When everyone thought that the hermit scholar was behind the scenes, Zhou Yan blew out the candles in the library:
"Your Majesty, the chess player you are looking for"
"Teaching your son how to play chess."
The old case of Xuanwu Gate comes to light, the orphan of the hidden prince appears, and the undercurrent of the prosperous Chang'an is surging. But the real dragon-slaying technique has just been revealed: what is to be slain is never the real dragon, but the evil dragon deep in the human heart.
