In the twelfth month of the sixth year of Jianye, a secret letter hidden in the belly of a wild goose became the blade that killed the Shen family, but the story did not end there. Some sought to use it to centralize power, some to rise through the ranks, some to overthrow the government, and some to muddy the waters, while others struggled desperately to hold on. Jiang Shang, the commissioner of Anyang, stepped into a brothel and turned Anyang into a battlefield. Cui Qingshan smiled, Wei Xun frowned, and Zhao Pingchang fought to seize the advantage.
A princess from the previous dynasty, married off to the frontier, served three generations of great khans. Starting as a junior consort, she used her beauty to climb step by step to the position of principal consort. Restoring her kingdom became the one sorrow in her heart. Cui Qingshan, the founding hero who slaughtered more than three thousand members of her family, gave her that chance. In the end, who is the player, and who is the pawn?
Where will the Yu Xun Empire go in the sixth year of Jianye? More than eighty years old, Wei Xun kneels in the snow and roars, "Your Majesty, what should we do about an eight-year-old crown prince?"
Zhao Pingchang, the young emperor of twenty-seven, fought the founding heroes all his life. In the end, all he could say was: "The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers remain. Take your leave, everyone."
