When Qianlong died and the new emperor came to the throne, the former powerful minister He Shen seemed to be sentenced to death to apologize, but in fact the golden cicada escaped from his shell and hid in the darkness on the outskirts of Beijing. He still controlled the water transportation, banks and intelligence darknets all over the world, becoming a serious problem that the new emperor Jiaqing did not dare to clear up openly. The late emperor's secret edict constrained him, so Jiaqing could only set up a plan to alienate Heshen with a reward, intending to instigate Heshen's confidants to rebel against him and encroach on his power. However, Heshen followed the trend and set up a Mission: Impossible Bureau, so that his confidants would bear the reputation of the traitor and pretend to surrender. A conspiracy drama involving secret fighting between kings and ministers and a game of hearts and minds began.
