Twelve years before the Jingkang Disgrace, the defeated troops in the northwest of the Song Dynasty were about to return, but the food reserves of the Zhenrong Army were only enough for three more days.
Gu Li opened his eyes and saw that he had become the scapegoat in the military ration case: the grain inspector died in the fire, the official seal was found from his luggage, and there was a document in front of him that was only two pages away from confirming the false accounts of the short warehouse.
After writing, he would be guilty of killing officials, stealing seals, and missing military rations; if he didn't write, he wouldn't even be able to survive tonight.
In order to survive, Gu Li could only chase the first rut from the burned-out warehouse.
Intercepting grain, seizing vehicles, rescuing wounded soldiers, clearing grain roads, and controlling military expenses. Starting from being a guilty calligrapher, he gradually took the money, food, officials and troops of the Song Dynasty into his own hands.
Others traveled through the Northern Song Dynasty and wanted to gain some wealth, save some loyal ministers, become a high official, and support a wise king.
Gu Li increasingly understood that placing the fate of the world on the emperor's wisdom would be the biggest dead end in itself.
Since the royal family likes to enjoy, let them continue to enjoy.
They live in palaces, eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and have a lot of honorifics and etiquette. As for finance, the army, the appointment and dismissal of officials, and world affairs, don't touch them either.
To put it bluntly - raising the emperor and the royal family like pigs.
Many years later, the emperor of the Zhao family still sat on the dragon throne, but Gu Li was already sitting at the head of the ministers.
The royal family enjoys some wealth and honor, and the cabinet is responsible for the world.
