The third year of Wanli’s reign, in spring.

The Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng reinstated the practice of keeping the Veritable Records (Qiju Zhu), assigning the duty to the Hanlin historians on a rotating basis.

From that moment on—

Shen Nian, third-ranked Jinshi from the year Xinwei of the fifth Longqing reign, Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Compiler at the Hanlin Court, Zhang Juzheng’s most outstanding disciple, and lifelong nemesis of the Wanli Emperor,

—thus began his career as court chronicler.

⸻

That day, the young Wanli Emperor got drunk and missed an imperial lecture.

Shen Nian straightened his back and wrote:

“His Majesty, drunk, missed the imperial lecture. The Empress Dowager and the Grand Secretary rebuked him sternly, even speaking of dethronement.”

That month, a large number of eunuchs were appointed as mining and tax commissioners, extorting wealth from the people.

Shen Nian raised his chin and wrote:

“Before the throne, I declared: ‘The disasters of monopolies and mining taxes are entirely the Emperor’s fault.’”

That year, the Wanli Emperor neither performed the suburban sacrifices, nor paid respects at ancestral temples. He refused audiences, ignored memorials, and ceased court lectures.

Shen Nian and his fellow historians cried aloud:

“Better to die speaking than live in silence. The greatest honor of a court historian is to be killed by the Emperor.”

⸻

Shen Nian said:

“I must be ill. I can’t sleep at all.

I have contracted Zhang Juzheng’s illness—the burden of holding up a collapsing sky—

but I was not destined for Zhang Juzheng’s fate.

In a daze, I saw the Grand Secretariat reduced to two people:

one drafting memorials—that was me;

one issuing imperial replies—that was also me.”

Gu Yi, who just graduated, received a strange game console.

When he discovered that not only could the things in the game console materialize in reality, but even the characters he controlled were the ancestors of his family.

——Since then;

An immortal family that has been passed down since the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty has slowly risen in the long river of history.

He once personally controlled his ancestor to conquer the world.

He had seen members of his family occupy the top positions in the government, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

He once saved the world from collapse, saved the Great Xia from ruin, and saw his family crumble because of one person, and his thousand-year plan nearly fell apart...

Peace the world, support the Dragon Court, and stabilize the nine states...

The biography of the Gu family is half of the history of China.

Gu Yi: "If you can't get rich today, then start your struggle from the ancestors!"...

After the sudden death of Chen Yan, the King of Juan, he became the only son of a juren in the Daliang Dynasty.

His father was promising, so he, as his son, quickly got laid down and lived a good life with everything provided for him.

Unexpectedly, when he was six years old, he found out that he was taken away from the farmer Chen's family by mistake. The fake young master returned to the Chen family and went to work in the fields that day. He was sucked blood by leeches for the whole morning and had to lie in bed for two days before he recovered.

As he could neither lift anything with his hands nor carry anything on his shoulders, it seemed that the only option left for him was to take the imperial examination.

In order to pass the exam and have a safe place, he risked his life and accidentally took away the top spot that was designated for the son of a powerful official.

This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.

Leaky rooms, toilet numbers, suppression by examiners and other injustices followed one after another.

Since he won't be allowed to lie down, he will kill all the old officials in the officialdom!

Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera, Ming and Qing novels, the trendsetters of every era have used their own words to record the ups and downs of that era, which may be magnificent or sad. If applied to swordsmanship, the moves will turn hundreds of times, the sword intent will turn thousands of times, the seven emotions will be integrated into the martial arts, and the six desires will return to their roots. When the sword is out, the world will change color because of me.

[Invincible and refreshing article + conquering the empress + decisive killing]

Traveling through the Great Xia Dynasty, Chu Feng transformed himself into a good-for-nothing dandy who listened to music in brothels. At the beginning, he had an invincible background and a female emperor as his wife.

In this way, facing Chu Feng's repeated attacks, the empress's wife gradually became less aloof, but still regarded him as a waste.
