After Passing the Imperial Exams, I Seized the Throne

After dying suddenly, he woke up as a pitiful little fellow whose father was mad and whose mother was unknown. Luckily, his father was handsome enough to catch the eye of a landlord's daughter, so at least they had food and drink. But just a month later, the kind landlord's daughter died, and he and his father were wrapped up with all their belongings in a straw mat and thrown out. He had just invented a new dish, but before he could make a fortune, someone forced him to sell it. He had just improved some farm tools, but before he could make a name for himself, the local official stole the credit and got promoted. After much soul-searching, Pei Qingyuan decided to study hard, take the imperial exams, and become a high-ranking official. Even he hadn't expected to pass the county, prefectural, academy, provincial, metropolitan, and palace exams in succession, becoming the top scorer in all six levels and taking the world by storm. While still in the capital, he was admired by talented scholars and courted by princes. As a local official, he developed the economy and boosted agricultural production. When he left office, the people lined the streets to see him off. Pei Qingyuan thought he would rise steadily through the ranks from then on, but he ended up offending the prime minister. Everyone thought Pei Qingyuan had used up all his good luck and that his official career was over. Even Pei Qingyuan himself thought so. But no one had imagined that his mad father was the crown prince who had once been falsely accused and deposed. Later generations all said that no emperor had led a more extraordinary life than Emperor Yan Yuan, nor had there ever been a more outstanding emperor. Suppressing rebellions, repelling enemies, sailing the seas, foreign trade... The thousand-year golden age that began with his ascension to the throne was born under his reign.
