With a knife on his neck, Zhao Jiu, a master of history who transformed into a poor boy on the border of the Northern Song Dynasty, was regarded as a Liao spy and was about to be beheaded on the spot.
On the line between life and death, he caught a glimpse of Fan Zhongyan's portrait in the ruined temple, and he shouted loudly: I am Fan Wenzhenggong's nephew!
Relying on the knowledge accumulated from studying Song history for many years, he calmly answered questions in front of Fan Zhongyan, and became a disciple of the Fan family from being executed as a prisoner of death.
Only Zhao Jiu knew it well - he was a fake from beginning to end.
The clan uncle in the dark has been secretly investigating him; anonymous informants will expose his background at any time; people around him are testing him step by step, and there are flaws everywhere. Every day, he walks on the edge of the cliff where his identity is exposed.
At the same time, the shame of Jingkang, the overthrow of mountains and rivers a hundred years later, is still slowly following the trajectory of history.
There is no system, no golden finger to predict the future. His only reliance is the complete accumulation of Song history in his mind and the thinking of modern people.
He passed the imperial examination, entered the court, and participated in the Qingli New Deal. He worked step by step just to reverse the tragedy destined for the Song Dynasty!
