Yiguose

In the thirty-seventh year of Yong'an in Daliang, Shen Chang'an, the prince of Prince Ning in the north, was ordered to come to Beijing in the name of studying, but in fact he was a proton. The fourteen-year-old boy stepped into Yanjing alone and became a pawn in the game between three parties - the first assistant Li Chongyuan wanted to use him to check the emperor, the queen mother Zhao wanted to use him to contain Ningzhou, and the young emperor Xiao Heng wanted to use him to regain military power in the north. Everyone thought that this northern boy could be manipulated by others. But they were wrong. Shen Chang'an worked step by step in the cracks and emerged with three policy papers. He used the imperial examination case to overthrow the minions of powerful officials and personally went to the land of tigers and wolves to resolve border troubles. From a chess piece, he gradually became a close minister of the emperor and a deputy envoy of the Privy Council. However, there is more than one player on the chessboard of power. The princess of Southern Chu, the business leader of the Western Region, the reclusive prince Shaofu... All the forces have their own agendas, and all the mysteries point to a murder case seventeen years ago. When the truth emerged, Shen Changan discovered that his entry into Beijing as a hostage was never an accident, but a chess game that had been planned for seventeen years. When the chess pieces see through the player's intentions, the game of chess truly begins.
