Xie Yan was reborn on the eve of the rebellion and burned the symbols of imperial power with a torch. When the dragon chair turned into ashes, he found that Shen Zhao had been waiting for him in the fire - this seemingly loyal minister of Hube was actually a bloodline of the previous dynasty. The commander of the imperial army, Zhao Yuanheng, threatened with military talismans, and the Minister of Rites, Pei Jiuling, laid a dragnet. The real key to the burning palace turned out to be a palace maid whose face was burned. What he burned was not the chair, but the roots of the old order. But this time, no one can treat him as a pawn.
