King Wuxian of Zhenbei petitioned the emperor to request a marriage. The emperor was furious when he learned that King Wuxian was going to publicly choose his concubine in Shili Changting. However, he was afraid that King Wuxian had a heavy army, so he had to agree to King Wuxian's request. He also authorized King Wuxian to choose three concubines, one more than the emperor's East and West palaces.
King Wuxian, who was a highly respected minister, was even more glorious. He even proposed to the emperor that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the concubine selection ceremony, he wanted three million gold as military expenses to eradicate banditry.
As the chief official who raised military expenses and presided over the concubine selection ceremony, Zuo Junji, a close confidant of the emperor, proposed to the emperor that the quota for Princess Wuxian's concubine be auctioned. The concubine selection ceremony was completely reduced to a farce for all parties to curry favor with the royal family.
On their wedding day, the three princesses met on a narrow road, and they all wanted to go in front. The emperor wanted to see a joke, but he didn't want King Wuxian to ask each family to compete for the first place in hunting, and the happy day was suddenly stained with blood.
The wedding was finally completed. After his wedding, King Wuxian also entered a short period of peace.
But just below this calm surface, various problems are growing crazily.
One day, news suddenly came that the eldest princess had been kidnapped, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of up to 50 million gold. The emperor sent troops several times without success, so he had no choice but to ask King Wuxian to come out.
After King Wuxian took over, he led the troops to attack with iron-blooded methods. When the troops came to the city, the eldest princess was pressed up against the city wall, but was ignored by King Wuxian.
After the city was destroyed, although the eldest princess was successfully rescued, the conflicts within the royal family also intensified to the extreme. The conflicts between the emperor, King Wuxian and the eldest princess were no longer reconciled.
Concept: The power struggle between the prince and the emperor, the king is the king, the minister is not the minister
