Main CP: Emperor Xiao Zhaocheng x Regent Xiao Jingyuan
(Cheng Gong Yuan Shou is wrong)
Prince Xiao Jingheng
The eldest princess Xiao Mingwei x the female general Shen Nianqiu
The Dasheng Dynasty experienced the sudden collapse of the previous emperor and the chaos of powerful officials, and finally welcomed the new king Xiao Zhaocheng to the throne. The young emperor had a benevolent heart and wanted to bring order to the chaos, but because he was still young, he temporarily appointed his uncle Xiao Jingyuan as the regent. This "Prince Jing" who once suppressed the rebellion of Anbang, held a heavy army and had a mountain in his chest. He swore an oath to "assist the emperor and defend the country". He and Xiao Zhaocheng shared control of the Zichen Palace, starting a legend of "co-governance by the emperor and his ministers".
Above the court, the two of them shine together like the sun and the moon: Xiao Zhaocheng takes the name of "Zhao" and implements bright policies, reducing taxes, establishing imperial examinations, and rectifying the administration of officials, and gradually wins the hearts of the people; Xiao Jingyuan takes "Yuan" as his heart, carries out profound strategies, purges the remaining evildoers, cuts down powerful ministers, and strengthens border defenses, sitting firmly in the court like a needle in the sea. They are not a rivalry between monarchs and ministers, but fellow travelers who "protect the country with power" - power to them is a sword to protect the country, not a bait to satisfy their selfish desires.
However, the road to defending the country does not stop at the court?
The idle prince Xiao Jingheng and his secret guard Mo Chen travel around the rivers, lakes and markets, gathering heroes with the virtue of "Jingheng", exploring the secrets with the loyalty of "Mo Chen", and clearing obstacles for the two male protagonists in the dark; the eldest princess Xiao Ming Wei teamed up with the female general Shen Nianqiu. The former used "Mingwei's" wisdom to help manage the harem and appease the vassals, while the latter used "Nianqiu's" courage to guard the border and repel the aliens. The two heroes held up half of the stability.
When seeking power is the surface, defending the country is the core
