On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, he became Yan Shaogeng, the grandson of the powerful Prime Minister Yan Song and the fourth son of Yan Shifan. At that time, there was a turbulent undercurrent in the court: the aftermath of the case of Qin Tianjian Zhou Yunyi's death with a stick was still unresolved, and the Qingliu Party had already pointed its sword at the Yan Mansion. The implementation of the new policy of "converting rice to mulberry" in Jiangnan has become the trigger of the anti-slavery storm. His grandfather was in power but made enemies all over the country, and his father was arrogant and domineering, causing trouble. The Yan family seemed to be in flames, but in fact it was in danger. Standing at the center of the vortex of power, Yan Shaogeng is well aware of the fate of his family's downfall. He hides his prophet and works step by step in the turbulent court game. He must avoid the sharp edge of the court, but also must clear himself from the decline of the Yan family, and find a wise and wise way to protect himself in a desperate situation.
