Those Things in the Ming Dynasty·part 4: Whitewashing the Peace (2020 Edition)
About This Novel
In the fourth part of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", after the death of Emperor Zhengde, the vassal prince's son Zhu Houcong was promoted to the throne as Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing took advantage of the "dispute over etiquette" to eliminate a group of old ministers from the previous dynasty and take over the power. Since then, his life has become increasingly corrupt. He only wanted to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, and he forgot about national affairs. As a result, the treacherous prime minister Yan Song was able to hold power for a long time. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty was financially empty and its military equipment was depleted. Japanese pirates on the southeast coast and Mongolia in the north became the Ming Dynasty's most serious troubles. Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, jumped onto the stage of history. The Ming Dynasty was a bloody dynasty, a grotesque dynasty, a strong and tender dynasty, a dynasty that had experienced disasters and was magnificent. The Ming Dynasty is like the folds of Chinese history. Every time you open a chapter, there are wonderful stories, which contain the cultural codes, political logic, and human experience of the Chinese people.
