In the troubled times, etiquette and justice collapsed. In the last years of the Liu Song Dynasty, the imperial power decayed and the people of the court and the public lost their hearts. Xiao Daocheng, a military general from a poor family, guarded the frontier for half his life. He was loyal to the emperor and served the country. He guarded the mountains and rivers, protected the people and kept his subordinates safe. He only wanted stability in troubled times and never had any arrogance or rebellion. But he is so sincere and loyal that he cannot support a completely rotten dynasty.
Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yu, had a low self-esteem, was bloodthirsty, jealous and ruthless. He used seeds to establish heirs, massacred relatives, and punished meritorious officials, and emptied the country's capital with his own hands. The young tyrant Liu Yu was crazy and immoral. He took pleasure in killing, humiliated his ministers, and disrupted the government. He turned the court into a human hell. Xiao Daocheng has been framed and suspected repeatedly, and has been in deadly situations several times, with the life of his family hanging on a knife's edge. No chance of survival can be obtained by giving in step by step, and all the loyalty and loyalty are crushed by the troubled times.
When there is no way to be loyal to the emperor, and he must die if he upholds justice, Xiao Daocheng, who is in a desperate situation, cuts off the ties of his ministers and rises against the trend. He changes the palace to punish the tyrant, takes power to determine the situation of the dynasty, clears up the chaos of the troubled times, builds Qi Dynasty on behalf of the Song Dynasty, and ascends to the throne of the emperor. He ended the absurd tyranny of the Liu Song Dynasty, but he could not escape the fateful reincarnation of human nature in imperial power. He killed and conquered mountains and rivers in order to protect the people. During the period of rise and fall, he completed a vicissitudes of imperial journey in which he was forced to become a king.
