In the final years of the Dacheng dynasty, the court secretly ordered the abandonment of three northern frontier prefectures.
Wei Ji was merely a low-ranking clerk from a poor family in a border prefecture. He knew no martial arts and had neither troops nor authority, yet on the night the secret edict arrived, he altered the grain records, forged military documents, and hid the city seal, carving out a chance of survival for the people of the entire city.
At first, he only wanted to save one city’s people.
Only later did he understand that as long as the old dynasty endured, the people would always be abandoned.
And so the low-born clerk was forced into the game. He gathered refugees, reformed grain taxes, trained frontier troops, broke the power of great clans, and established new laws.
He did not have to be a hero, but he could not let the world see a second edict abandoning a city.
Why is there no review for such a beautiful book?
The writing is very detailed, the characters are depicted in detail, although it is not a cool novel, it is interesting to read, and the rules and regulations of the ancient system are also written in detail.
Good! Good! 👌! Great efforts!
I just finished reading "The Lonely Sword Returns to Beijing", and I saw that the author has other masterpieces, so I also took a look. I hope this book can make up for the regret of Jian Nanfeng.
