He was the most disliked legitimate son of the Marquis of Jing'an. He was framed, beaten, and expelled from his family, and became a beggar selling calligraphy and paintings on the streets of the capital.
During one of the imperial eunuchs' discussions, he came to power at a critical moment, started a verbal battle with the Confucian scholars, and shocked the emperor and princess behind the curtain by saying, "If there is no profit, where does righteousness come from?"
From the deputy envoy of the Imperial Commercial Department to the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, from the establishment of a sea ban to the farming of land, he relied on modern economic knowledge to leverage the entire dynasty. Conservatives regard him as a thorn in their side, the smuggling group wants to kill him and then quickly, even his own father wants to kill him.
But behind him stood the most noble Princess Changle in the dynasty.
She blocked his arrows, resisted his orders, and shed her tears for him.
He said: "In this life, what I rely on is not my ancestors' shade, but my mouth and my heart."
She said: "I just want you to come back alive and marry me."
The country is a job, and a hundred battles make him a marquis. See how liberal arts students stir up troubles and win beautiful women back.
Not exaggerated, plain and objective
Not bad. Keep up the good work.
