[Modern Tang Dynasty | Chang'an Imperial Examination | Counterattack from a poor family | Suspenseful plot]
The Tang Dynasty did not perish.
Thousands of years later, Chang'an is still the center of the world. The lights of Zhuque Street are like daylight, the Daming Palace is suspended under the golden light belt, and the electronic wild goose pagoda screen outside Ci'en Temple scrolls with the names of new subjects candidates. The imperial examination is still there, the six ministries are still there, and the clans are still there, but outside the old palace walls, there are already underground roads, cloud records systems, AI policy theory, and Jinwu Guard bronze birds.
Shen Yan, a young man from a poor family in Liangzhou, came to Chang'an with a piece of admission documents. He just wanted to take part in the examination of the Ministry of Etiquette and earn a way out for himself and his mother.
But on the first night after entering the city, his registration test was marked as "abnormal place of origin."
He went to the Ministry of Rites to complain, but he saw the minister of the Gongju Division falling to his death. Hidden on the deceased's desk was half a torn test paper, which contained this year's planned questions. At this time, the alarm sounded, and Shen Yan's risk level was raised from Level B to Level A.
Thirteen years ago, the Qujiang canal collapsed, and Shen Yan's father was expelled and exiled. Thirteen years later, the leaked case of the Ministry of Rites test was revived. Under the bustling lights of Chang'an, the family members, the Sixth Ministry, the royal family, technology companies and the ghosts of old cases surfaced at the same time.
