Immediately to the Court

About This Novel
The Qianlong Dynasty needs to be studied in stages, and it is not appropriate to write straightforwardly. It is sixty-three years at a time. Therefore, the author divides the Qianlong Dynasty into three stages: 1. "Initial Qianlong Administration" (i. E., "Thirteen Years of Qianlong"), about the first fifteen years; 2. "Middle Qianlong" (i. E., "Mashing the Court"), from the 16th to 49th year of Qianlong; 3. "Late Scene of Qianlong", which lasts for more than ten years. In the first stage of the Qianlong Dynasty, the country was mainly governed based on traditional Confucian concepts - such as "restoring the three generations" - but in the second stage, it showed more of the "Manchu characteristics" of Qing rule. This was not a simple "discrimination between leniency and strictness" or "changing from leniency to strictness", but rather reproduced their characteristic of "ruling the country immediately". This book is about the Qianlong Dynasty, about thirty-three years of history. Taking the Southern Tour as the center, I connected many things together, especially those related to "teaching the people" as opposed to "nurturing the people", including "literary prison" and other not-so-small topics. Like writing a story, I wrote them down one by one, paragraph by paragraph, year by year...
