The first thing I did when I woke up was that I had become Yan Shifan.
The second thing was to discover that there was a memory of a Tang Dynasty person living in my mind.
The third thing is to find that this era is full of "woke" people.
In the 16th year of Tianshun, the twelfth lunar month. Death row prisoner Yan Shifan woke up in prison, with a calmness in his eyes that did not belong to him. He was Li Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty - at least he thought he was.
But he soon discovered that he wasn't the only one with "something wrong."
Hu Zongxian, the governor-general of Zhejiang Province, suddenly had a prediction of the war in the southeast that transcended the times; Xu Jie, the second assistant, had a certain grudge against the Yan family; Lu Fang, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department, drew places he had never been to on the old sea map; Feng Bao, the admiral of the East Factory, was awakened by the same nightmare every night - coal mountains, locust trees, and the king who hanged himself.
And Emperor Jiajing in the Xiyuan Alchemy Room has been waiting for them for thirty years.
This is a mess that spans time and space. A group of "others" who were thrown into the Ming Dynasty by fate, carrying their own obsessions and prejudices from their previous lives, fought in this rusty power machine. Some people want to save the nation, some want to clear the country, some want to reopen the sea route, and some just want to go home.
But they all forgot to ask the most important question: When all the planks of a ship are replaced, is it still the same ship?
When a person is repeatedly covered by different memories, is he still "the same person"?
——And he has forgotten even the question itself for the third time.
