About This Novel
Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty was ill and was getting heavier day by day. He was afraid that time was running out, so he summoned a group of ministers such as Liang Chu, Yang Tinghe, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian to serve as officials. Soon, the emperor died and the prince ascended the throne, changing the Yuan Dynasty to Zhengde. When the new emperor was young, the eunuch Liu Jin sent beauties to the emperor, allowing the emperor to indulge in wine and sex every day. Liu Jin was favored by the emperor and acted arbitrarily and do evil in the court. Seeing this situation, Liang Chu and other senior officials reported to the emperor and requested that Liu Jin be dealt with. Who would have thought that Liu Jin would fall into Liu Jin's way and he would die and be demoted. The imperial court ruled in darkness, with people rebelling internally and enemy soldiers taking advantage of the opportunity to invade the country. It was in the midst of internal and external troubles.
