Aspirations to the Throne

During the Great Xia Dynasty, when Xia Xiang, a young man from a mountain village, went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he accidentally offended the powerful third prince and was intentionally expelled from the imperial examination. Although Xia Xiang was born as a commoner, he was not afraid of the powerful. He angrily exposed the blacklist incident to the world. In the end, he was a high school Jinshi and the Minister of Rites was dismissed due to examination fraud. However, the emperor was framed by a traitor and became seriously ill, unable to preside over the government. The three princes and the prime minister joined forces to control the government. Countless loyal ministers were dismissed or demoted, and there were widespread complaints among the people. After Xia Xiang passed the Jinshi examination, he was sent to Zhending as the county magistrate. Zhending was a land of dragons and tigers. How did he deal with four princes and four aristocratic families by himself? Faced with the bottom-up force forced by the three princes and two aristocratic families, and the emperor had no children and could only pass on to one of the several princes, Xia Xiang embarked on an unprecedented path to the throne.
