The Daqian Dynasty was first established. Emperor Taizu Zhao Yuan overthrew the tyranny of the previous dynasty and established the capital at Yanjing. The world was initially settled but the foundation was not stable. Above the court, the Taizu enfeoffed the princes, and the princes were eyeing the throne; locally, the remnant forces of the previous dynasty were undercurrents, and the aristocratic families were intertwined. Although the people had some respite, they still suffered from official corruption and harsh governance. At this time, although the upward path for scholars from poor families was slightly smoother due to the new dynasty's emphasis on imperial examinations, it was still firmly controlled by the powerful class, making it difficult to reach the sky in one step.
