In the twentieth year of Emperor Jingping's reign, early in the year, heavy snow fell.
The common folk decorated brightly everywhere, warmly celebrating the New Year.
However, within the Daqing Dynasty's court, treacherous plots abounded.
The Six Gates had long been investigating the Yama Hall and finally received news, with clues slowly gathering towards Prince An's Mansion. Emperor Jingping was furious and secretly summoned Shen Chen to the palace, ordering a thorough investigation.
The first step taken by Shen Chen was to clear the internal Six Gates, capturing many planted pieces and pointing out issues such as their clandestine opposition to official orders.
To achieve success in work, one must first hone their tools.
For Emperor Jingping, his well-honed tool was the Six Gates.
For the past two years, his health had not been as strong as before, and he struggled to manage affairs. Unbeknownst to him, this incident occurred, and in a fit of urgency, he fainted from anger.
