The Southern and Northern Dynasties used ancient sayings and tactics——
In the troubled times, wars were frequent. The imperial power of Beizhao was monopolized and the army and horses were strong, while the clans of Nanye were constrained and the national power was declining.
In the battle of Donghai County, Nanye was defeated miserably and was forced to cede territory to pay compensation. Beizhao insisted on asking the frail and sick prince to come to Beijing as a hostage. When the Nanye court was unable to do anything, the fifth princess stepped forward and asked for his brother to be used as a hostage.
Emperor Beizhao never dreamed that the seeds of the overthrow of the dynasty would have been planted by his own hands at this moment.

Ps. The fictional background refers to the Southern and Northern Dynasties period. Some settings may not be so sophisticated due to plot needs. If there are obvious errors or typos, please correct them.
Note: The plot is purely fictional and inspired by foot-picking.
