Teochew Opera: 破镜重圆 1

[..the story continues from the previous night's opera. It is 16 years later, the baby prince is now a young adult and has been installed to his rightful place as Emperor of the kingdom. The evil Minister, in order to survive the new imperial power situation, turned renegade against his old master and exposed the ex-emperor's upsurping schemes/deeds. The new young Emperor is ignorant of the past wicked acts of this evil Minister, and promotes him to Prime Minister as a reward for helping him regain the throne. Other loyal ministers (including General Xu - who as a young man was instrumental in ferrying the then baby prince to safety), who have total knowledge of the past events, opposed this move but were not able to dissuade the gullible inexperienced new emperor.]

And in order to gain some control behind the throne, the now Prime Minister propose marriage between his daughter and the young Emperor.
