The ruthless emperor × the gentle prime minister and his assistant, the two-way restraint of power and tactics
In the nine-layered palace, thousands of people bowed their heads.
Xiao Jinyuan was a ruthless and suspicious emperor who controlled thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and never gave anyone an exception.
Only the Prime Minister Wen Xu'an had selfish motives beyond those of the emperor and his ministers.
He is willing to give him supreme honor and favor, is willing to suppress the criticism of the court for him, and wants to hold all the warmth in the world in front of him.
Ke Wen Xu'an is gentle and transparent, sober and restrained, and always abides by his duty as a minister.
Your kindness is like a blazing fire, its heat can even burn you.
In the face of rumors from the government and the public and criticism from courtiers, he backed down step by step and asked himself to be stripped of his special favor, so as to protect the emperor's reputation with all his humiliation.
The emperor's favoritism surges and cannot be hidden, and the reason of his ministers is unbreakable.
One is willing to break the gap between superiority and inferiority, while the other clings to the boundary between monarch and subject.
Under the mighty imperial power, one has the heart of a king, but the etiquette and laws are as high as mountains.
If you don't want it, then I'll force it.
(Xiao Jinyuan ascended the throne at the age of 17 | Wen Xu'an was 22 years old and was ordered to assist the new emperor in times of crisis
• Now Xiao Jinyuan is 22 years old | Wen Xu'an is 27 years old, which is the current plot of the confrontation in Jinluan Palace)
