My Family Fell on Hard Times, but My Grandfather Is Chancellor in Dafeng

[No System + Political Intrigue + Alternate History + Battlefields]

When the throne changes hands, the officials change with it!

The Xie family, far from the center of power, is hemmed in at every turn and running itself ragged. Its former glory is gone!

“Grandfather, our family holds the hereditary title of Marquis of Pingjiang, and you’re the Left Chancellor with the rank of Grand Commandant!”

“Doesn’t help. Our fief borders the emperor’s hunting grounds, and he’s annexed it…”

“Uncle, you’re the Minister of Revenue and a Grand Academician of the Guanwen Hall, second rank!”

“Doesn’t help. None of the four Vice Ministers of Revenue listen to me. I can’t get any work done…”

“Second Uncle, you’re the Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor, first rank!”

“The Crown Prince? Where is he?”

“Dad, you… Never mind!”

“…”

“Aunt, your husband is the Commissioner for the Northern Ridge and Great Feng’s God of War, second rank!”

“The winds of the Northern Ridge can’t reach this city of Linjiang…”

After waking up one day, Xie Yunchuan was banished to Bingzhou with his father. It was desolate, yet peaceful; bleak, yet full of life.

Take the martial arts exam, wipe out some bandits, run a military exercise, kill some northern barbarians…

How many edicts? I’m just a lowly martial arts scholar, seventh rank, a nobody. Why has His Majesty sent twelve golden decrees to summon me back to the capital?

You! Tell! Him! I! Can’t! Come! Back! At! All!
