I opened my eyes and found myself the son of Wei Zheng, the Tang dynasty's foremost remonstrator.
I thought I could lie flat and live the easy life of an official's son, but it turned out my family was so poor the walls were practically bare, and my father chased me every day to make me memorize the Essentials of the Zhenguan Reign.
On my first trip to the palace, I ran into Princess Changle, who had sneaked out for some fresh air.
She said, “You're Wei Zheng's son? I hear your father scolds my imperial father every day.”
I said, “Careful, Princess. That's called remonstrating.”
She laughed.
And then I was in trouble.
Changsun Chong saw me as a thorn in his side, Changsun Wuji accused me at court of currying favor with the emperor, and even my own father submitted a memorial opposing the marriage.
The entire court was waiting to see how Wei Zheng's son would get out of this.
But they didn't know...
I came from more than a thousand years in the future.
Imperial exams? Top scholar.
Court debates? Unmatched eloquence.
And the princess's illness...
I can even bring modern medicine to bear. How could I fail to save her?
I think this book is very good, but many people may not be able to follow it. He writes it first and then the front, but you will feel good after reading it.
Although the structure is a bit messy, it is well written.
