In the last years of the Great Yin Dynasty, the eunuch Cao Qin held the emperor hostage and ordered him to go to court. The officials were like dogs and the people were like grass. The deposed prince whose family was exterminated seventeen years ago left behind a son named Fengming, who returned to the capital incognito as a scholar from a poor family. There is no one behind him, no soldiers in his hands, only one life and a book that has been settled for seventeen years. Everyone thought he was a lunatic who entered the situation alone. Only Wu Sheng knew that with every step he took, there were three escape routes paved under his feet. Wu Sheng was originally the son of the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. His father was imprisoned by Cao Qingo. When he could not find a way to appeal, he was dragged out of the crowd by Feng Ming. From then on, he followed Feng Ming half a step behind, copying secret letters, delivering news, blocking hidden arrows, and finally drank a glass of poisonous wine for him. Feng Ming spent three years cutting off Cao Qin's financial path, cutting off Cao Qin's arms, instigating rebellion against Cao Qin's most trusted adopted son, and placing every chess piece in its proper place. On the night of the palace change, the Donghua Gate opened, and he changed from the son of the deposed prince to the new emperor, changing the Yuan Dynasty to Chaoyang. The Wusheng poison penetrated the five internal organs, leaving him with a spring. On the third day after he ascended the throne, the new emperor drank half of the remaining wine and died on the couch where Wu Sheng had been lying. There is only one line recorded in the history books: they died on the same day and were buried together outside the city. No one knew that there was a piece of yellowed paper buried in the coffin that was buried together, which read: The phoenix is singing, over the high hill. The phoenix trees are growing and the sun is rising there.
