Green Curtain Policy

Ninety years after the founding of Dayu, the gentry clan monopolized the imperial examinations, controlled finance and taxation, and held power hereditary for a hundred years, which resulted in the hollowing out of imperial power, the rigidity of official administration, and the decline of people's livelihood. Under the skin of the prosperous age, there was all decay and disease. In the seventh year of Jinghe, the late emperor's unconventional new policy of benefiting the people was overthrown by the Jiangnan gentry group. The founder Shen Huaian was wronged, and all the sparks of innovation were wiped out. The only son of the Shen family, Shen Yan, was poisoned by the cold-curing poison secretly made by the gentry. He faked his death and escaped, and lay dormant for seven years under the name of Ye Chen, a famous scholar from Jiangnan. He is proficient in the administration of finance and taxation, and the checks and balances of the court. He has the original intention of destroying the family, new government, and peace of mind. He not only clears the grievances of his family, but also restarts the unfinished strategy of his father's generation to save the country. When his hibernation period expired, Ye Chen entered Lin'an and was deeply involved in the chaos of power grabs between the prince's conservative gentry and the utilitarian relatives of the King of Wei. He hid behind the scenes, strategizing, dismantling and consolidating the court structure with righteous tactics, cutting off the wings of the family at every level, and supporting the dormant and tolerant seventh prince Yu Wenyan who cared about his family and country. During this period, he became a confidant and comrade-in-arms with Wei Mingshu, a revolutionary female general who guarded the northern border, and joined forces to fight against the darkness of the court; he also started a heart-warming game with Si Liantai Gu Yan, who only obeyed the law to enforce imperial power. When the unjust case of the New Deal was finally proven, the nobles took the risk and launched a palace coup, and the ruling and opposition parties ushered in the final showdown between good and evil. There was bloodshed in the imperial city, injustice was brought to light, and a century-old dictatorship collapsed. The monarch and his ministers work together to destroy the old and establish the new, restart the reform and new policy, clarify the official administration, open up the poor, and stabilize the country. When he was successful and famous, Ye Chen looked down upon the power and prosperity, resigned and returned to the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River, leaving the prosperous Qingming Dynasty to Dayu, and wrote a legend of power and strategy in which he sought the country with forbearance and kept his heart to save the world.
