Chen Yan, a scholar from a poor family, went to Beijing to take the exam. He wanted to change his life with an article, but on the eve of spring, he was involved in the murder of a fellow villager. There was half a page of planning questions hidden in the arms of the deceased Juzi. The government was eager to close the case, the examiner was eager to silence him, Qingliu wanted to use him to criticize the cabinet, and the factory guards wanted to use him to fish out the person behind the scenes. Everyone thought that a poor scholar was just a pawn on the chessboard. It was not until the Golden Palace Examination that Chen Yan alarmed the emperor with a policy statement and opened up the Chunwei fraud case in public. From then on, he entered the Imperial Academy, fought against cabinet ministers, inspected salt tax, supervised border taxes, rectified palace changes, implemented the New Deal, and stepped into the deepest power whirlpool of the Ming Dynasty from a humble family. In this life, he has no permanent enemies or permanent allies. There are only interests, trade-offs, and a woman who always stands opposite him but understands him best.
No need to say more, just five stars
