Back then, the previous dynasty's emperor was an indecent and unscrupulous man, with heavy taxes. From the emperor to the civil and military officials, they all enjoyed it without care for the lives of the commoners. At that time, there were some ambitious people among the people who found the Ancestor Emperor. They all praised him and advised him to rebel.

The Ancestor Emperor was a brave and battle-loving person, but he was also someone who had rebelled against the heavens for the sake of survival. Due to the fact that the previous dynasty was already overturned, the Ancestral Emperor's army was like a hot knife through butter. They won battles consecutively, and within a few years, the former dynasty was toppled.

After the Ancestor Emperor ascended to the throne, the dynasty began to shake. The Qing Yu faction had carried out countless strangling and killing of the survivors of the previous dynasty. At that time, Shangjing City had just experienced a storm and was facing wave after wave of secret battles. However, the previous dynasty was a hundred years old and had some foundation. During the slaughter of the survivors, the former crown prince was lost and escaped. Because of this, the Ancestor Emperor always had a knot in his heart. On top of that, he went to war, worked hard, and became worse and worse every year. Finally, he passed away within a few years after he ascended the throne.

At that time, the Ancestor Emperor had a wife, but after he ascended to the throne, he only conferred the title of concubine. Back then, the Qin family made a great contribution by sending the Qin family's daughter to the palace to become a queen, and when they first entered the palace, the emperor could be considered favoured. However, the empress felt very lonely in the imperial harem, so within two years, the Qin family had picked a beautiful woman from a branch to send her to the palace.

The Queen and the younger sister sent over by the Qin family gave birth to princes two years apart, respectively to the current Emperor and Prince Zhan. The two of them had grown up together and were close friends. Although the Prince Zhan had an extraordinary talent since young and was well acknowledged by the ancestors, the crown prince was not jealous at all.

When the crown prince was thirteen years old, he had to ascend to the throne and change his title to become the emperor. The emperor was not interested in any kind of imperial power or politics, and even after he ascended the throne, he had no heart to take care of it, so he resorted to the policy of recuperation and general amnesty. At that time, the Prince Zhan was still not as cold as it is now, and the emperor often teased him, "I'll give my throne to you, how about that?" The Prince Zhan would only use the Emperor's words to speak as if they were filled with fire and smoke. Every time he heard those words, the Prince Zhan would tremble slightly, not daring to reply.

Not long after, another kind of voice gradually appeared between the imperial court and the commoners. The Emperor was unable to accomplish the task of creating a new lord, and the son of Consort De was the one who shouted the loudest among the other lords.

Although this matter had been buried, a small detail had been spread within the palace. It was said that Consort De had hanged his son and killed himself, and at that time, the mother of the Prince Zhan and the mother of the Prince Zhan had also mysteriously gotten sick, so the mother of the Prince Zhan had not lived through it. In the end, the Prince Zhan had survived and came back to life, but the character of the Prince Zhan had changed greatly, and no one was allowed within ten feet of him. The empress dowager had raised the Prince Zhan by her side ever since that incident, and was like her own son. She had treated the Prince Zhan even better than the emperor, and the empress dowager had heard of all the people in the imperial palace as well as the palace.

Four years ago, when the small nations at the border saw that the Tian Sheng Empire's foundation was unstable, they joined hands to attack. At that time, they had already swallowed the few cities at the borders of the Tian Sheng. Back in the Tian Sheng Dynasty, the troops had rested for a few years. Furthermore, the Ancestral Emperor had already spent a lot of effort on his campaign, and now that the war had started, his military pay was not in time. The emperor was feeling very vexed, but at this time, the Prince Zhan took the initiative to step forward.

When the emperor and empress dowager saw Prince Zhan like this, they were very touched, and the Prince Zhan did his best to go to the border for eight years. Not only did he win the war, he also reclaimed the few small countries at the border and expanded the borders of the Tian Sheng Dynasty by a hundred miles.

The Prince Zhan didn't want to return to the border, so the Emperor wasn't worried that the Prince Zhan would become the new King. He just wanted to ask the Emperor to come back and share his burden, and the empress dowager really missed the Prince Zhan. Thus, the Emperor always used a stratagem to move the Prince Zhan, and the Prince Zhan finally agreed to return to the throne.

When the Emperor returned to the throne, he had the feeling that he had become somewhat unfamiliar with him. Not only had his appearance changed, but his personality had become even colder than it had been eight years ago. The Emperor thought that he must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot in the past eight years. The emperor wanted to muster up the courage to ask him, "How about I give you my throne?" The Emperor didn't dare to speak another word. In front of him, the Emperor would always have a patriotic and hardworking attitude towards his people.

When the empress dowager saw the diligent manner in which the emperor had worked since the return of the Prince Zhan to the imperial court, she believed that all of this was due to the Prince Zhan and was even more amiable towards the Prince Zhan. She would always find an excuse to send some rewards to the palace whenever she had something to do and the emperor was not jealous.

Just a few days ago, Prince Zhan suddenly walked very close to the Emperor and frequently entered the palace. He even took the initiative to take care of the affairs of the imperial court for the first time in history, "The Assistant Minister s of the Ministry of Industry have been absent for a long time, so the s of the Ministry of Government are quite capable. "Brother Han, are you taking the initiative to share my affairs?"

The Prince Zhan rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Your Majesty, the position of the Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Public Works is absent for a long time. The abilities of the Assistant Minister in the Department of Public Administration are not bad. When the emperor saw that the Prince Zhan s had even called out their names, he quickly agreed, "Alright, alright, the Government Department's Assistant Minister s will be transferred to the Ministry of Industry's Assistant Minister s." The Emperor thought for a moment before asking, "That Assistant Minister of the Department of Public Affairs has come out again. What should we do?" The Prince Zhan said indifferently, "The Government's Zhongshu Officer has some ability, I'll leave it to him."

The Emperor could not even remember who the Zhongshu Officer of the Ministry of Public Relations was. The matter of the Zhongshu Officer breaking the rules and promoting the Assistant Minister had never happened in the history of the Tian Sheng, but seeing how calm and indifferent the Prince Zhan was, the Emperor did not dare to say anything.

The Emperor thought that the Prince Zhan must have felt that it was hard for him to sit on the throne, so she began to understand and share with him. He would even accompany him to drink tea and play chess. The Emperor was very happy, because the Emperor believed that the Prince Zhan must have thought of brotherly relationship, and once again filled himself with the aura of fireworks. The empress dowager had heard from the emperor that the Prince Zhan had been coming to the palace when he had nothing better to do recently and was very happy as well.

It was just that the emperor didn't understand. After a few days of being close to them, the Prince Zhan was no longer willing to eat in the palace, although there were three thousand women in the imperial harem, but they also felt very lonely. The harem women always liked to fight for favors and eat with them, so he panicked a little.

"Sigh." The emperor sighed. It was really too difficult to get along with a person who didn't have the aura of a firework.

There was a rumor circulating in the palace recently that the newly appointed Lord Assistant Minister of the Department of Public Affairs caught the eyes of the Prince Zhan and that the beloved daughter of the Department of Public Affairs' Assistant Minister was saved by the Prince Zhan to be raised in the Prince's Mansion when she fell into the water at the Prime Minister's residence.

As a result, in the past few days, when the Emperor looked at the Assistant Minister s of the Department for Purging Officials, his gaze was not ordinary. It was as if he wanted to get close to them.
