The Legend of Emperor Longqing: How to Win
by Wei Qingyuan
About This Novel
After being an aggrieved prince for 27 years, he unexpectedly ascended the throne at the age of 36. In just 6 years, he accomplished three major events that rewrote history - opening up the sea ban and igniting global trade (earning one-third of the world's silver), ending two hundred years of bloody war between the Ming and Mongolia (saving sky-high military expenditures), and pardoning his remonstrators to initiate reforms. However, he indulged in violent death at the peak of his power. He is the most underestimated emperor in history: he endured for half his life in exchange for the Ming Dynasty's return to glory, but he himself became the key puzzle in the dynasty's transformation from decline to prosperity.
