You’re a Civil Service Exam Lecturer—How Did You Become a National Preceptor?

[Imperial Examination] + [Master-Apprentice Ensemble] + [Political Scheming]

Chen Wen, a gold-medal civil-service exam lecturer, transmigrates to Great Xia as a teacher.

He starts off with a broken academy and three troublesome students, but Chen Wen says the problem is not big; he's very familiar with this line of work.

Using logic to deconstruct the eight-legged essay, using policy-answer thinking to write exam essays, and using interview skills to pass the palace exam.

From county exam top scorer to imperial laureate, his students dominate the rankings all the way, driving traditional scholars crazy with self-doubt!

Who says scholars can only talk theory?

In Ningyang tax reform, he teaches his students to calculate the death of profiteers.

In Jiangning's business war, he teaches his disciples to short the nobility.

In the capital's turmoil, he and his students confront the prime minister head-on!

The current grand chancellor: "I've fought political enemies my entire life, never losing once, but I lost to a group of students taking the scholar's exam?"

The inner-palace eunuch: "Why did our money bags all end up in Chen Wen's hands?"

When his students one by one wear crimson and purple robes, control the Six Ministries, and clean up the imperial court,

people finally discover in fear that the schoolteacher who had never once stepped into officialdom had long since become the unrowned imperial teacher who determined the fate of Great Xia.

The emperor: "Sir, regarding this empire of mine, how do you think it should be changed?"

Chen Wen sets down the ruler in his hand: "Your Majesty, let the students finish this nation-governance question first."
