Chenghua Solitary Blade

During the Chenghua period, the affairs of the imperial court were intertwined, with civil servant groups uniting to consolidate power, and undercurrents of power in the harem surging. Everyone knows that Wang Zhi, the Duke of Xichang Factory, is ruthless and murderous. He is the sharpest knife in Xianzong Zhu Jianshen's hand. He is responsible for all the murders in the court and the emperor sits on the throne without any stain of filth. No one knew that the powerful Wang Zhi was not an eunuch at all. He entered the palace in trouble at a young age, and thanks to Concubine Wan Guifei's careful care for many years, he was treated with respect like a loving mother. He and Zhu Jianshen grew up together since childhood, and their friendship has long been like that of flesh and blood brothers. In order to stay by the emperor's side for a long time and help him split the thorns in the court and the public, he was willing to disguise himself as a eunuch and take charge of the West Factory with one hand. He eradicated corruption with an iron fist, wiped out traitors and sycophants, shouldered all the stigma, and found himself in desperate situations several times. Zhu Jianshen has always been aware of this sincerity. Even though hundreds of officials from the government and the public jointly protested his impeachment, he still used his imperial power to protect Wang Zhi, so that this brother of a different surname who had shielded the king from all the swords could finally stay away from the turmoil in the court and live a peaceful old age.
