Once the officialdom was in turmoil, the Hanlin family collapsed.
The former rich and scholarly family has suddenly become a poor family.
The young man Gu Chengfeng was born into a scholarly and prestigious family, but his parents were wronged and his family fortune suddenly declined. The young man carried the family's livelihood on his shoulders, cut firewood and farmed for a living during the day, used the ground as paper on cold nights and studied hard under the moonlight, and grew up patiently in the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the harshness of the world.
He was in the mud, but he did not fall into the clouds; despite poverty, he still maintained his scholarly character. Starting from the county examination, he stood out from the scorn and ridicule of the talented people in the hall; he moved forward step by step from the township examination and the national examination, and overcame all the difficulties in the imperial examination with his full knowledge and calm mind.
On the road ahead, there will be exclusion from aristocratic families, strife in official circles, hidden secrets from old cases, unpredictability of people's hearts, as well as family ties and the company of close friends. While he was deeply cultivating his official career, strategizing step by step, he cleared away the layers of fog that had framed his father; at the same time, he stuck to his true heart and rectified the shortcomings of the times. He traveled all the way from a humble boy to the imperial court and became the prime minister.
A volume of blue clouds floating and sinking, half a lifetime of ups and downs for emperors and ministers.
Let's see how the sons of a down-and-out family can rise from the dust, learn about the world, grasp the wind and clouds, become a famous figure, and leave a name in history.
