Synopsis

Chen Hanzheng transmigrates to the Great Xia Dynasty, comes top in all three levels of the imperial examinations, and earns the title of top scholar. The empress takes a keen interest in him and orders him to draft policies for governing the country and maintaining peace, as well as decide on an official appointment. But his first memorial on governing the country and maintaining peace is a love letter to the empress. Empress: I told you to write policies for governing the country. Chen Hanzheng: Your Majesty, if you marry me, we can pacify the realm, usher in a golden age, and achieve achievements that will last for generations. Empress: The commoners are occupying land and obstructing the construction of a granary. What should we do? Chen Hanzheng: Dig open the canal upstream. With a flood at their doorstep, they’ll flee for their lives. Empress: The officials in the Six Ministries are lazy, and there are too many sinecures. What should we do? Chen Hanzheng: Improve their benefits and set performance targets. That’s how you get them competing against one another. Empress: The scholars of the realm are denouncing me. What should we do? Chen Hanzheng: Stir up rivalry between the northern and southern literary circles as they fight over the true literary tradition. They’ll turn on each other and waste their strength. Empress: The martial arts sects ignore the law. What should we do? Chen Hanzheng: I have a peerless sword manual. The first page says, “To master this art, first castrate yourself with your own blade.” Empress: The vassal kings rule their own territories, and Prince Ning has grown powerful and intends to rebel. What should we do? Chen Hanzheng: Spread rumors that there’s treasure from the previous dynasty in Prince Ning’s domain. Every faction will rush there, leaving him too busy to deal with anything else. Empress: Three generals at court have achieved such great military merit that they threaten my throne. What should we do? Chen Hanzheng: Create two honorary posts, Left and Right Protector-General. The three generals will compete behind the scenes to prove their merit. Empress: People say I’m fond of men. What should we do? Chen Hanzheng: Have my child, and the rumor will dispel itself.
