In the second year of Jiayou's reign, he was on the Millennium Dragon and Tiger List.
Su Shi, Su Che, Zeng Gong, Cheng Hao, Zhang Zai... All of them are geniuses, but I am a waste.
Bai Zhao was the last person in the palace examination. He was the son of a farmer in Xiangfu County. He had never been elected to the imperial examination for three generations. There is no golden finger, no system, just stupid skills honed from old papers.
At the banquet in Qionglin, the geniuses were reciting poems and composing poems, while he was settling accounts in the corner. While others were chatting about world affairs, he was looking through files to find Yin Tian. Su Shi regarded him as a confidant, Su Che thought he was unfathomable, and Ouyang Xiu said he was "old enough to seek the country."
But Bai Zhao knew it himself - he was not a genius, he just knew things that geniuses didn't know. For example, which state concealed its acres of land, which county falsely reported disasters, and which law could bring down a royal relative.
In this era of bright stars, a low-ranking scholar must use the stupidest method to take the longest road.
From Xiangfu County to Bianjing City, from the Cai River to the Chaotang. He rescued Su Shi and paved the way for himself; he abided by the rules, but wanted to break the rules of this world.
Geniuses are responsible for surprising the times. He is responsible for supporting the building before it collapses.
