The first thing the new emperor Qin Yao did when he came to power was to put the emperor's master Shen Lin under house arrest in the palace. All civil and military officials in the court said that His Majesty would eventually eradicate this powerful "regent".
No one knew that in the dead of night, the young emperor would grab Shen Lin's neck with red eyes and ask: "Teacher, you assist me, teach me, but also use me, check and balance me... Is there a moment in your heart that truly belongs to me?"
Shen Lin lowered his eyes and said nothing. He worked hard for ten years to clear the obstacles for Qin Yao, train him to become a qualified monarch, and made himself the "last nail" that must be removed on his way to power.
Qin Yao's seizure of power was originally a clumsy confession that he wanted the teacher to belong only to him.
But he had tried everything, but he never expected that Shen Lin had already listed his own fall as the last lesson to teach him - how to use "hating" a traitor to achieve the reputation of "loving" a wise king.
When the day when Hai Yanhe was cleared finally came, Qin Yao understood that the last lesson Shen Lin had taught him with his life was called "loss".
