About This Novel

In the early Tang Dynasty, undercurrents were raging. Five surnames and seven families controlled the government. The imperial power was in deep trouble. A scholar from a poor family single-handedly stirred up the political turmoil in Zhenguan. It was late spring in the sixth year of Zhenguan. Chinese teacher Chu Li woke up and became a penniless scholar from a poor family in Chang'an City. There was no golden finger, no system, just a bald pen that couldn't write and a mess that was publicly humiliated by the children of aristocratic families. A bowl of Yangchun noodles was extorted for five taels of silver. The son of the Bolingcui family threw the silver into the muddy water and asked him to bow and pick it up. He did not bow. He read a poem. "An Neng is able to bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy." This poem alarmed Princess Changle and Jin Wang Li Zhi on the Qujiang Boat, and also alarmed Li Shimin in the Tai Chi Hall who was having a headache with the Turkic invaders and letters of recommendation for seven families with five surnames. From scolding the housekeeper of the Cui family at the gate of the princess's house, to shocking everyone with his performance of "Out of the Barrier" in the Tai Chi Palace, to revealing the mystery of the military's false reporting of military strength, this Chinese teacher, who is full of Tang poetry and Song lyrics, used the confidence of five thousand years of civilization to tear a hole in the early Tang Dynasty court where the family's family dominated the sky. Poetry can serve as a stepping stone, but it cannot stop the hidden arrows of aristocratic families. Literary talent can shock the emperor, but it cannot evade the layers of calculations in the court. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew about him, and seven families with five surnames regarded him as a thorn in their side. Changsun Wuji said a compliment that could not be faulted. The prince and the king of Wei also began to notice this poor boy standing next to the king of Jin. Chu Li knew that the real trouble was yet to come.
