About This Novel
Nanjing is known as the "ancient capital of six dynasties" and the "city of ten dynasties". The Ming Dynasty was the eighth dynasty that established its capital in Nanjing. Unlike the previous seven dynasties, it was the only unified dynasty in Nanjing's history. Zhu Yuanzhang was also the last founding emperor in the history of Nanjing. From the first year of Hongwu (1368) to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), the Ming Dynasty had a total of 16 emperors and 17 dynasties, and the reign of Zuo was 276 years. Among them, from the first year of Hongwu (1368) to the nineteenth year of Yongle (1421), Zhu Yuanzhang (1368-1398) lived for about 31 years, Zhu Yunwen (1368-1402) lived for about 5 years, and Zhu Di (1402-1421) lived for about 20 years. Three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren served as emperors in Nanjing for a total of about 54 years. After that, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, and Zhu Youjian, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty, hanged himself in Meishan (also known as Longevity Mountain, today's Shouhuang Pavilion in Jingshan, Beijing). After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty clan established some political powers in the south, known as the Southern Ming Dynasty in history. Among them, Zhu Yousong (Zhu Youjian's cousin) established the Hongguang regime in Nanjing and lasted for a year until he was killed by the Qing army in 1645. It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty had a beginning and an end in Nanjing. The author's research believes that in the early Ming Dynasty, the three dynasties of Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle worked hard to govern, and the country became strong. They created many brilliant achievements in Nanjing, accumulated rich cultural heritage, and left precious material heritage. The book "Chat about the Three Emperors of the Ming Dynasty" has a novel writing technique, including quotations, brief examinations, brief analyses, and short comments, and organically combines them.
