At the end of the Jiajing period, the thunder was about to end, and the twilight of the Ming Dynasty was already deep.
In his previous life, he was a modern prosecutor who died in an old case that implicated powerful people; when he opened his eyes again, he turned out to be a ten-year-old sick boy from the Xia family in the aftermath of the Xia Yan case. There were low voices in the old house, and the clansmen avoided looking. His father used a ruler to hold down his books, and his mother taught him to pretend that he couldn't remember.
He cannot cry out for injustice, cannot violate etiquette, and cannot use modern words to disturb this era.
But he remembers the evidence, understands people's hearts, and knows where Ming Dynasty will collapse.
From his old residence in the Qing Dynasty to the Guixi County Government, from his family's imperial examinations to his career in the court, he first fought for the status of a family member, fought for a living path for a branch of the Xia family, and then took advantage of Longqing's redress to enter the official chess game.
The old scrolls have not yet been written, and the mountains and rivers are approaching dusk.
In this life, Xia Qingxu does not ask anyone to change history, but only wants to hold the dying light an inch forward before the situation overturns.
