Xiao Jue, the Emperor of Dajing, was recognized by both the government and the public as an absurd master - indulged in pleasure, doting on male favorites, and even relying on "seven days of exclusive favor" for disaster relief in exchange for the obedience of left prime minister Shen Qingci.
Shen Qingci, the Prime Minister of the Left, was a well-known socialite in the capital. Rumors abounded that he relied on the dragon bed to gain power, but he dared to call the emperor a "foolish king" in front of the court. His old love Wen Yu was caught in a private affair, but he still insisted on fighting for disaster relief food for the people in Jiangnan.
One is an emperor who treats the court as a playground and is crazy about possessiveness, and the other is a romantic person who pursues power and cares about the bottom line and cares about the people. The two have been entangled since they were bed partners, and have long been entangled by desire and responsibility:
- He punished him by kneeling in the snow and hanging the beams of the house, but when he was in trouble by local officials, he sent the imperial army to rescue him thousands of miles overnight;
?
- He served as a "footstool" for him to endure humiliation and was humiliated by men, but when he was about to kill his loyal minister in vain, he knelt down with red eyes and asked "Your Majesty to tell the truth between loyalty and traitor";
?
- Chu Yao competed for favor and was thrown into the cold palace. Yan Shu took advantage of the opportunity to rise to power but could not hide his fear. Before the beauty from Jiangnan entered the palace, Liu Yunting's corruption network from the household department had quietly entangled the two of them;
?
- When something fishy was found in the relief food, when the third prince had a secret meeting with the right prime minister late at night, and when the "foolish emperor" was ruthless against the worms in the court, Shen Qingci understood: Xiao Jue's absurdity was always a disguise hiding a knife; and his own heartbeat had quietly changed since the "body for food" transaction.
This game that begins with desire will ultimately be decided in the struggle for the safety of the people and the power of the East Palace - can he let the absurd emperor defend the country? Can he make the romantic prime minister put down his worries?
Intention: Self-reliance and self-improvement, keep climbing up like a wild vine
