Su Yan, a poor scholar, lived in a poor family and grew up eating food from hundreds of families, but he had a sharp tongue and an upright heart.
Going to Beijing to take the exam, he fights against evildoers who extort people, protects vulnerable old farmers, and uses his clever words to avert crises;
In the examination room, he bumped into the corrupt examiner Wang Huaian, quarreling with each other until the other party was speechless, and he would never bow down even if he was maliciously pressured to score points;
In the Jinluan Palace Examination, he made an eternal statement with the phrase "North and south connect the state and north and south", which made the powerful ministers lose face. He was even selected as the number one scholar by Emperor Jingyuan, making him a blockbuster!
When he entered the court as an official, he kept his true nature, protected the people, fought against treacherous ministers, fought against princes, broke the monopoly of the powerful, and promoted new policies that benefited the people.
Others rely on their family background and money to become an official, but he relies on a mouth, a heart, and an eye to become an official. He can overcome the evil trends in the court and find a way to reach heaven for the children of poor families!
Let's see how Su Yan, a poor scholar, went from the countryside to the Jinluan Palace, where he became the prime minister and gained power, creating a legendary era of prime ministers and ministers from a poor family!
