Two old enemies, a bloody case, fifteen years of unjust imprisonment, who is behind the scenes.
The sword of Jin Yiwei, the chess game of the Minister of Household Affairs, whoever is tempted first will lose everything.
In the last years of Jiajing, although the strict party fell, the undercurrent in the court became more and more fierce.
Shen Yan, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, is known as the "King of Hell with Xiuchundao". He is a ruthless bird of prey, but there is a blood book hidden deep in the imperial prison - in the "Qingliu Case" fifteen years ago, the entire Shen family was executed, but he survived.
Ji Linyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, is a new political upstart with a gentle and jade-like appearance, but he always hides a folding fan sword in his sleeve. No one knows that he is the son of Mr. Ji Ge who was exiled back then. There is half a sheet of anti-poem engraved on the jade plaque around his waist.
A scandalous corruption case pitted two people against each other:
When Shen Yan put the knife against Ji Linyuan's throat, he found a cinnabar mole on his throat - exactly the same as the boy who saved him on a snowy night.
Ji Linyuan smiled and recited the seventh sentence of "Ode of Iron Bones", which was a code word that only old members of the Shen family knew.
They were supposed to be mortal enemies, but instead they became each other's only allies.
When the truth tears apart the imperial power
According to the secret files of the imperial edict, the real culprit in the Qingliu case was actually——
Behind the late emperor's edict, there is a conspiracy more terrifying than that of the Yan Party.
The poison in the agarwood is causing Ji Linyuan to go blind day by day...
"Shen Mozheng, the king you are loyal to is the murderer who slaughtered your whole family."
"Ji Minglan, the truth you have been seeking all your life will destroy the Ming Dynasty."
When Ji Linyuan led his army to break through the Meridian Gate, Shen Yan's Embroidered Spring Sword was placed across the emperor's neck.
——Who should he point the tip of his knife at this time?
Purpose: Break the shackles of fate and keep the right path in the world
