In the thirteenth year of the reign of Emperor Yongxi of the Qi Dynasty, the sixteen-year-old puppet emperor Xiao Jingyan and the twenty-eight-year-old regent Shen Hechuan were playing a game of chess together.
Everyone in the world thought they were playing chess. One wants to regain the imperial power, and the other wants to stabilize the country. But no one knows that Shen Hechuan has never thought about winning against Jamel Xiao since he took him out of the cold palace when he was sixteen years old.
An assassination was carried out on the Shangsi Festival, and Qujiang Pool underwent a sudden change. King Su of Liangzhou rebelled, and tens of thousands of troops at Panlong Pass suppressed the territory. The dead man in Yuchanglou reappears, and the old case of Taimiao comes to light. Behind the shocking conspiracies, they all point to a deeply buried truth on the night the late emperor died seventeen years ago.
"I only have one game of chess in my life, and it has never failed."
"Then who is your opponent?"
"Everyone in the world who shouldn't be alive."
He is the sword that removes all obstacles for him, and he is also the city that protects thousands of miles of mountains and rivers for him. He was a lunatic who dared to regent with a different surname at the age of sixteen. He was also a fool who would queue up late at night to buy back a box of peach blossom cakes and hide a note under each piece.
From suspicion to trust, from monarch to minister to side by side. From Tianlao to the border, from the Imperial Ancestral Temple to the Miao territory. At the end of this game of chess, Jamel Xiao finally understood——
They were never chess players. They are two sides of the same coin. No matter how high the crane flies, its shadow remains in his heart.
"What is your last name in this world?"
"The natural surname is Xiao."
"What about me?"
"Your Majesty is yours."
And when he said this, he was never a minister of ministers.
He is a surrendered minister.
Purpose: Using the strategic game between the two male protagonists as the form, and "trust and trust" as the bones, it tells how two people who are oppressed by the imperial power, in the conspiracy and blood and fire, refine their suspicion into each other's only salvation. The world is a situation, and all living beings are children. Only three words "I believe in you" can change the world. The feelings of family and country and the heart of a child will eventually make cranes circle the imperial capital and the mountains and rivers will be forever solidified.
