Prince Xiao Li usurped the throne and ascended the throne. The palace changed overnight, and the palace was stained with blood. Both the emperor and the queen died for the country. Everyone in the government and the public thought that the prince Xiao Jue had died in the chaos.
Xiao Jue was only sixteen years old at that time, and his confidants tried their best to escort him out of the palace, injuring half of his face with a knife, hiding his name, and living in troubled times.
Unexpectedly, Xie Suizhi, his companion who had been with him day and night, would become a traitor reviled by the world.
He bowed his head to the new dynasty, made plans for the new emperor, wiped out the remnants of the previous dynasty, and bore the infamy of the dynasty coldly without even a single word of excuse.
It's not that Xiao Jue doesn't understand that when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, everyone has a way to survive. He only thought that the man was protecting himself, so he chose another wise master and abandoned him.
But no one knows that when the youthful friendship in the heart is extinguished, there is still hatred hidden in it.
Just as war broke out across the border, he wore a half-mask and joined the army. He fought in the sea of blood and corpses and became famous. He was known as General Dingbei with a broken face. He held a heavy army and was powerful.
After lying dormant for several years, he was called back to the capital, hiding his sharp blade in his sleeve and keeping his old troops in the dark, waiting for revenge and repayment with blood.
On the day he ascended the throne, hundreds of officials paid homage to him in the Fengting Court.
He looked at the thin and frail figure at the foot of the stairs, and suddenly realized that half of his life, half of his military exploits, and half of his life were all because of the stigmatized person who silently protected him.
The wind and moon in the courtyard remain as cold as before,
And after all, it was half his life too late for him to recognize the old friend in front of him.
Purpose: In troubled times, maintain sincerity
