In the thirteenth year of Jinghe's reign, Emperor Jinghe fell ill and war broke out in Daliang. Qin Yan, Marquis of Zhaolie who was raised by Emperor Jinghe, led his troops to the southern border to regain the lost territory and was granted the title of First-Rank Prince.
In the fourteenth year of Jinghe, Daliang was in turmoil. Qin Yan led his troops to suppress the rebels from all walks of life. However, news came from the capital that Emperor Jinghe was seriously ill. Qin Yan quickly returned to the capital, but what awaited him was thousands of arrows and the bottomless eyebrows of the man in the palace.
In the fifteenth year of Jinghe's reign, the Qin army approached the city with overwhelming force. In the same year, Daliang was destroyed. Qin Yan proclaimed himself emperor and imprisoned Emperor Jinghe in Huaqing Palace.
The new emperor stepped on the white jade bricks of Huaqing Palace step by step. Looking at the man who was locked in the inner room with disheveled hair but unable to hide his splendor, he still couldn't hide the throbbing in his heart at his guess:
"The main force of Liang Jun is stationed in coastal defense. You lost to me on purpose, didn't you?"
Li Yi's chest was wrapped with a bandage, one wrist was locked on the exquisite fence, and there was no color on his lips:
"So what? Qin Yan, you have had a problem since you were a child, that is, you are sentimental."
Qin Yan locked the man's thin neck with one hand:
"So, it's a game from beginning to end. I'm just the one who finally got to the capital, right?"
His men closed their eyes and said nothing.
That day the new emperor burst out of Huaqing Palace laughing like crazy. For so many years, he thought that among the educated disciples in the palace, Li Yi was the most special to him. He thought that he was different in that person's heart after all. Even when thousands of arrows were fired from the tower, he still held on to the hope that Li Yi had his reasons.
It turns out that the hardships he thought and the mercy he thought were just a trap set up by that person to end the chaos in the world. From beginning to end, it was he who was the one who was showing mercy.
In this case, there is no need for him to show mercy:
"Pass the decree that Li Yi be made a slave in Huaqing Palace."
That night Qin Yan pinned the person on the table:
"There can only be one man in the palace. Do you think I should send you to castration? How will the history books record it when the deposed Emperor of Daliang became a eunuch?"

Small theater:
Qin Yan carefully supported the man who had just recovered from his illness and was leaving the palace to live in seclusion, and accused him step by step:
"You can't leave me like this. You tricked me into becoming emperor. You are not allowed to leave."
Li Yi pried off the fingers on his arm one by one and said coolly:
"I can't keep him. After all, there can only be one man in the palace."
Qin Yan looked at the memorials on the table and his hair almost fell out, but he still said:
"Isn't it okay if I don't let you read the booklet? I'll look at it and approve it. Isn't it okay? Go back to the couch and rest."
