【Dual male lead, main POV is gong, 1v1, pure love】The former emperor was infatuated with beauty and terribly incompetent, with military funds for the border disappearing for months. In a fit of anger, General Nie Yao's son, Nie Yao, disarmed and returned to the capital.
He got rid of the avaricious Minister of Revenue and took over that position himself. A new emperor brings new courtiers. When the former emperor fell ill and died, the decisive Ninth Prince ascended the throne.
The Nie family held military power and controlled tax revenue, making them seem like a thorn in the new emperor's side. Nie Yao himself thought so too, preparing early to fall out with the new emperor.
However, on the new emperor's first day in power, he summoned Nie Yao to the palace to assist him in changing his clothes. The second day was foot washing. The third day, bathing. The fourth day...
This couldn't go on! Nie Yao, realizing his folly, packed his bags overnight, attempting to flee to the border. But as soon as he left the city gate, his path was blocked.
The new emperor rode Nie Yao's beloved steed, looking down at him imperiously, then dismounted and grabbed the young general's ear. "Abandoning your husband and child?"
"Young General, you truly have great skill!" Nie Yao, yelled at, looked bewildered, only habitually kneeling by the emperor's feet. After understanding the meaning of those words, Nie Yao: !!!
He still had to go to the border, but not to escape; rather, to expand the territory for his husband and child, and unify the world!
