About This Novel
The period from Qianlong to Daoguang was a period of rapid changes in the Qing Dynasty from prosperity to decline. At that time, the scholarly conduct was corrupt, the officialdom was degenerate, and countless temples were corrupted, which continued to erode the foundation of the Empire State Building. The author has long studied the history of the Qing Dynasty, carefully selected from the numerous historical records, more than ten important cases handled by the three emperors Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang from the Qianlong to Daoguang years in the mid-Qing Dynasty. The people involved ranged from governors of dukes to clerks and servants, including the mysterious death of a relief committee member, the last major anti-corruption case before Qianlong abdicated, and a series of gambling cases that held important ministers accountable during the Jiaqing period. , There was also a case of long-term private sales of fake photos by clerks in the Ministry of Household Affairs... During this period, the desolate administration, maladministration, embezzlement, corruption and collusion, bad official regulations, slander and injustice all revealed the decline of society at that time and the insensitivity of officials. Thrilling and intricate. The author peels back the cocoons and truly reconstructs a series of cases that shocked the Qing court two hundred years ago, and can also see the scars under the appearance of the prosperous age.
