It has been more than a hundred years since the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world, and the rivers and seas were clear and the people were prosperous.
But as the former Minister of Civil Affairs, who had been imprisoned for more than ten years, committed suicide by drinking a dove, the pretense of peace in Beijing was broken.
As the eldest daughter of the Xue family in Hedong, the first aristocratic family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xue Yunyi knew clearly that the minister left a "roster" pointing to powerful and famous families.
The current emperor is in the prime of life and has already intended to get rid of his family. His unparalleled achievements will be recorded in the annals of history. On the day when the "Roster" appears, the family will inevitably face the disaster of overthrow.
Yunyi had no intention of going to court, but the Xue family had no choice but to enter the game. In order to preserve the Xue family's prosperity in Hedong for thousands of years, let's see how she can turn the tide and help the family building to collapse by using the world as a game and all living beings as chess.
Going down to the south of the Yangtze River, stirring up the turmoil among the literati in the south of the Yangtze River and guiding the direction of the court; the Fengyue case, promoting the chess game from thousands of miles away, and countless officials falling into disgrace; setting the border pass, the vulture spread the plan, and intercepted and killed the barbarian traitors at the border pass...
A transaction between an aristocratic family and an emperor, a series of seemingly seamless plots, all with the figure of Yunyi hidden in them.
In this chess game, she did not regret taking advantage of everyone. She said: "There is no regret in making a move."
It was her plan to meet Xie Huaijing; they worked step by step and took advantage of each other, but she did not hesitate. But later, he was willing to stab her with a sharp knife in her hand without hesitation, and she hesitated. So on the day she returned to Beijing, she chose to say goodbye to him. But she didn't expect that he would travel thousands of miles just to stay with her forever.
Intention: Machiavellian
