In the seventh year of Emperor Jing's reign, Liu Che, King of Jiaodong, was established as the crown prince. Lu Heng, the son of Lu An, an official in the prince's family, ran into the new prince because of a wrong account. One wants to know what is hidden outside the palace gate, and the other just wants to save a way for his family to survive. Starting from a false account of three hundred stones of grain, the two learn to test each other and leverage each other in the face of power. For more than fifty years since then, Lu Heng has not relied on foresight, nor has he replaced famous generals or ministers. What he did was a more difficult thing: turning the king's ambition into food that could be moved, laws that could be sustained, and people that could survive. He entered the central government from the son of a minor official in the Crown Prince's palace, and experienced the Northern Expedition, financial reform, border county management and witchcraft disasters; after the death of Emperor Wu, he and Huo Guang co-existed in the position of supporting the government. When his power was enough to overwhelm his family, he chose to hand over the power and use the skills he learned first in his life on his last choice.
