Under the walls of Beijing, Yu Qian died for his country. Full of blood and strategy, he was supposed to be buried in the execution ground of the Ming Dynasty, but once his soul returned, he was reborn in the late Southern Song Dynasty as Gu Qing, a scholar from a poor family.
The country is in decline, Yuan Qi is eyeing the south of the Yangtze River, traitors are in power in the court, and there is an undercurrent of party strife. With the deep-seated resentment of the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty, he took the imperial examination again, went to the examination room with his pen, and entered the turbulent Southern Song Dynasty court with the title of gold medal.
In the past, he turned the tide and defended the Ming Dynasty, but now he is trapped in the turbulent Zhao and Song Dynasties. Facing a treacherous prime minister who forms a clique for personal gain, and dealing with the intrigues of civil and military ministers; there are powerful enemies oppressing the country outside, and a corrupt government inside. With his lone loyalty, he seeks the survival of a country, and with the political skills of two generations, he strives for a glimmer of hope in troubled times.
It's just that the mountains and rivers are broken, and the accumulated disadvantages are hard to eliminate. Should we turn the tide and continue Song Zuo, or repeat the mistakes of history?
The road ahead is uncertain, and no one knows the outcome.
