Ten Years of Tomb Guarding: The Late Emperor's Coffin Passes Me the Military Talisman

Lu Chenyan guarded the late emperor's tomb for ten years. On the first day of the new emperor's reign, the inner court sent someone to take away his tomb-guarding seal, but the families of the old northern army knelt at the tomb gate begging for grain. The First City had only three days of grain left, and the old army's children were already eating moldy rice to survive. At night, the lid of the late emperor's coffin loosened, and a bloodstained old military talisman was passed from the coffin into Lu Chenyan's hands. Everyone thought he would use the talisman to overturn the case and seize power, but his first order was to open the eastern storehouse, dispatch the Ren-3 grain carts, and first save the city. As soon as the grain carts left the tomb, orders to seal the tomb, intercept the grain, charges of treason, and old case slanders all fell upon him. What he wanted to save was not just one city, but the living people who had been written into the list of defeated troops ten years ago. The First City's grain supply was just the beginning. The order to change the northern gate garrison had arrived, the real talisman had entered the capital, the old case remained unopened, and the next blade was falling upon the city gate.
