【Introduction】

Kou Ji's soul traveled through time to the Northern Song Dynasty and became the great-grandson of Kou Zhun, a famous prime minister throughout history. As a typical third-generation official, he should have been a dandy and lived a most arrogant life.

However, when he arrived in Beijing with his adoptive father's letter inviting him to live in Bianjing, he discovered...

Grandfather Kou Zhun seems to be in trouble!
【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One: Entering Bianjing to Enjoy Wealth and Luxury. The protagonist travels back in time and becomes Kou Ji, the great-great-grandson of the renowned Prime Minister Kou Zhun, and the son of Kou Zhun's adopted son. After receiving a letter, the protagonist prepares to enter the capital to enjoy wealth and luxury, but along the way, nearly all of his followers die, and when he finally finds a ride, no one believes his words.

Chapter 2: The Prime Minister's Mansion has a high threshold. The protagonist, accompanied by his only servant, Erbao, bids farewell to the kind-hearted hitchhiker who gave him ten coins as a token of support. They wander through the capital, Erbao contentedly eating candied haws. However, they are eventually thrown out by the Prime Minister's Mansion due to the excessive number of scammers.

Chapter 3: Wealth and honor are hard to come by, and always face hardships. The protagonist presents his credentials and enters the Kou residence, but is barred from meeting Kou Zhun by the housekeeper. From the housekeeper's attitude, the protagonist infers that his father is likely not well-received. However, filial piety being his top priority, he decides to visit his grandfather first.

Chapter 4: The Incorruptible Mr. Kou Zhun. The protagonist's father, a lowly man, lost a treasure bestowed upon him by the emperor in a gambling scandal. The protagonist seeks refuge with him, but Kou Zhun, scorning him as a sycophantic, greedy man, refuses to see him and waits for him until the end. Kou Zhun's lifelong integrity has offended many officials, but his unwavering integrity has earned him numerous followers.

Chapter 5: The Man Who Overestimates His Capabilities. Two hours have passed, and the rain has begun to fall. The protagonist waits in the rain to be summoned. However, Kou Zhun is adamant and refuses to see him. His son-in-law, Wang Shu, takes over and presents the protagonist with a test about his father's mistakes. The protagonist accepts the test, but Wang Shu still sees through him.

【Brief Comment】

Christmas Scarecrow, a level 5 author, has written two works, "Monument of the Yang Family" and "Ode to the North".

One book tells the story of the Yang Family Generals, with the protagonist being the seventh son of the Yang family.

This book tells the story of Kou Zhun's great-grandson, and the dynasty is similar to the previous book.

《北颂》2019年8月9日上架，首订2500，在9月24日达成精品。目前起点收藏11万，书城收藏6万，粉丝数28万，盟主8位。

This book is an award-winning work, having won second prize in the 2019 History Online Literature King Awards, which awards a 6000 yuan prize or a 50000 yuan guaranteed contract. Books that win awards are truly remarkable, after all, they have to stand out from tens of thousands of novels.

This book is still very interesting.

Kou Zhun is a famous prime minister throughout history. Even people who don't read much history know this. If older readers have watched the TV series "Judge Bao", Kou Zhun is still in it.

The book has a tight rhythm from the beginning, and does not elaborate on how the protagonist traveled through time. Instead, it starts from the journey to Beijing, and there is no elaboration on how the servant was killed.

Even the passersby who were willing to give them a ride didn't say much. The characters around the protagonist can be downplayed, but after he enters Kou's house, his insistence on seeing Kou Zhun before settling in is immediately highlighted.

Even if it's just to see Wang Shu, it would be fine.

His speculation was quite accurate; his father had definitely made a serious mistake, which was why he had to take the blame. Traveling through time and enjoying wealth and prosperity was no easy feat.

As for the system, please bear with me. Historical time travel writing, without a system, often tests the author's skill and is extremely difficult. With a system, however, it becomes much easier.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

This book is very good and many people like it.

I have been recommending a lot of historical novels recently.

This shows that when we get older, we will unconsciously lean towards history.

It seems that by doing this, I will appear to have gained some knowledge.

Actually,
Really useful!
Unofficial history, I know a little more~
