[Farming] [Imperial examinations] [System] [Alternate history] [Lighthearted]
[At thirty-nine, he fails the provincial examination once again. After more than thirty years of hard study by lamplight, his hair is already streaked with white, yet he has earned no distinction. With a bare household and no hope left, his spirits are low and his ambition has faded...]
[Recite the Three Character Classic from memory to rediscover your original purpose! Reward: 500 copper coins]
Li Mu, who transmigrated here by sheer luck, looks at the mission on the System panel before him, then glances down at the little bean between his legs, and falls into deep thought...
This System... seems to have arrived too early!
Just then, Li Mu’s stomach growls at an inopportune moment. He rubs his empty belly, and the System’s reward of 500 copper coins suddenly looks incredibly tempting!
But how does the Three Character Classic go again?
Years later, the imperial road in the capital is filled with gongs and drums.
Li Mu rides through the streets on horseback, triumphant, his horse’s hooves flying as he takes in all the flowers of Chang’an in a single day.
“Eight hundred men it is, then. Prince of Qin, make your move!”
“Prince of Qin, the court is unjust. You are the true Son of Heaven who will bring peace! For the sake of all the people under heaven, fight!”
Li Mu slowly draws the sword at his waist and says just one word: “Fight!”
The Annals of Taizu record: “Taizu donned armor and took up arms, leading eight hundred men against one hundred thousand. He routed them utterly!”
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Li Mu sits high on the Dragon Throne, looking at the Turkic Khagan kneeling in the hall with his backside sticking up and his whole body shaking like a leaf.
“I hear you barbarians are skilled at singing and dancing. The realm is at peace this year, so you shall dance to celebrate!”
The Annals of Taizu record: “The barbarian chief danced skillfully to celebrate the peaceful new year. He danced, and the emperor was pleased.”
Well, it's been quite a rollercoaster ride, but at this stage, with fifty or sixty chapters, it's still a very young child; there's a long way to go.
It's still okay to see now.
It looks quite interesting. Looking forward to it! Will be following the updates!
It's nice and looks good.
