There are two camps in the Northern Qi Dynasty, one is the little emperor and the other is the empress dowager. When Shen Zhong chooses to be loyal to and rely on the Queen Mother, it means that his code of conduct is based on the consent and acquiescence of the Queen Mother.
Shen's reappearance gives the impression that he is "bad". As the head of the Royal Guards, he received the envoys of the Qing Dynasty at the order of the Empress Dowager. In front of the Qing people, he directly beat Sean from China and broke his leg.
What's the point of Shen Chong breaking Sean's leg? It's not that he did it without authorization, but that Sean has secrets. He can kill three birds with one stone. On the one hand, it shocked the emissary of celebrating the country, on the other hand, it destroyed Sean's ability to act, on the other hand, it was also for the general to see the Chinese fir and tiger.
Shang Shanhu holds the relieving power. As long as he doesn't hand over the relieving power, the little emperor and the queen mother won't sleep well. Besides, he is Sean's adopted son. If Shang Hua Tiger violated national laws to save Sean, Shen Zhong has reason to convict him and then take back his military power.
It is certain that Shen Zhong's weakness is selfishness. Shen Zhong also wants more power, but he also has a bottom line, which is the interests of BAIC. This can be seen from his prevention of the queen mother from talking to Fan about the interests of Neiku. In any case, if you consider the interests of Beiqi, Shen Zhong will not die.
But after all, he is a man of flesh and blood. If he is a man, he will have a weakness, which is just caught by Fan Xian, that is blood relationship, and he has a sister! Ice cloud cheated the good girl's trust, which changed Shen Zhong from active to passive. Then, Fan Xian, with unparalleled wisdom, joined hands with the little emperor and the tiger, which made the queen mother lose trust in Shen Zhong, and Shen Zhong was put on hold in North Korea.
In Born to Die, there is a deep hatred between Shang Hu and Shen Zhong. Shen Zhong fell out of favor in North Korea, and Shang Hu also played a great role. Shang Shanhu's adoptive father died after being pursued by Shen Zhong, and even his brother who followed Shang Shanhu for many years and fought alongside him died at Shen Zhong's hands. Shen zhong lost power and influence, and the opportunity to take revenge on the Chinese fir tiger came, so Shen zhong was still dead after all.
Everything Shen Zhong has done in his life is mostly for the safety of BAIC, and the biggest goal is to make BAIC stronger and stronger. If he is selfish, he can get away with it without being beheaded.
