Since ancient times, beauty will never come again. If you don't see the stranger from outside the state, I'll go to Chang'an. Once back, once again old. ----Bai Juyi The Taisho court has defeated all external hostile forces in the four directions. It seems that the world is peaceful. In fact, there are many crises within the dynasty. Local land annexation has caused the gap between the rich and the poor to widen. The preferential treatment of the gentry has meant that the rich have almost no tax burden. There is the danger of civil unrest everywhere in the country. The imperial court did not turn a blind eye to this. Zhang Mingyue, the chief minister of the current cabinet, tried to implement the new tax law and reform the Taisho court. However, at this juncture, the emperor, who was deep in the inner palace, was most concerned about replacing the prince with his youngest son and deposing the crown prince. Zhang Mingyue, who had started his career as a prince's aide, naturally disagreed, and the palace and the palace also became antagonized. Our protagonist is a general, but he does not want to inherit the military position; there are many secrets about his origin and family, but he does not know them all; he has a simple and naive ideal, but also has a keenness and cunning in his heart. He wants to rely on his book business to save the world, but reality has made him embark on a path that is completely opposite to his ideal. Now that he has arrived in the capital, whether the high platform here is the cornerstone of his success or the beginning of his dream, let us unravel this chapter together.
