Back then, Emperor Taizu disliked his stepmother and forbade anyone to talk about her. Over time, no one knew about what was going on there anymore.
Emperor Taizu never imagined that such a small oversight would hand over the entire dynasty to others, and that his descendants would all perish at the hands of those people.
Having recounted the past, let's talk about the present situation. The Great Sheng Dynasty has now passed its peak after several emperors.
Through intermarriages and power struggles, various factions within the court have developed complex and intertwined relationships, gradually putting the imperial family under pressure.
At this point, those with ulterior motives gradually revealed their wolfish ambitions.
Xie Ming's father was not a foolish ruler; in fact, he could be considered a competent ruler who maintained the status quo.

The current crown prince is a promising candidate for emperor, but unfortunately his political views often clash with those of the emperor.

After Xie Shuli came to power, he carried out a large-scale purge of the previous dynasty. During the years of his reign, the court was practically awash in blood.
In a short period of time, Xie Shuli had left the Great Sheng Dynasty in ruins, and the true forces hidden behind the scenes were beginning to emerge.
Having returned, Xie Ming knew everything, so this time, in addition to teaching that ingrate a lesson, he also had to uproot the root of the trouble that would destroy his entire family.
