About This Novel

The story happened during the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty. There was a minister of the Ministry of War, Liang Tingdong, who was in charge of the military. He held military power, made great military achievements, and was loyal to the country. During the war to suppress the rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, when passing through Nanyitai Village, Yanling County, Xudu, Henan, Emperor Chongzhen was parading the troops on the forum. It was summer, and the weather was hot. The soldiers had never seen the emperor, and they all wanted to Look at what the emperor looks like. The soldiers all wanted to squeeze forward to see the emperor, and the forum was filled with water. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear the heat, and he told the soldiers three times to retreat, but the soldiers stayed calm. The accompanying minister of the Ministry of War saw that the emperor was so hot that he didn't say anything. He threw back his robe sleeves and retreated forty-five miles to camp. At this time, the treacherous official of the court wrote to the emperor and said: "Long live my lord, you see, you said three times to ask the soldiers to retreat, and they stayed calm. Liang Bingbu flung his robe sleeves and retreated forty-five miles. Long live, Liang Bingbu will seize your country in the future, and he can easily capture it." When Long Live heard this, he thought that Wang Aiqing was right, so he made the memorial. At this time, an order was sent to kill Liang Tingdong of the Ministry of War of Liang. Prime Minister Li Xiangcheng persuaded Long Live and said: "Long live my lord, Liang Tingdong cannot be killed. You have killed Liang Tingdong, and the country will not be peaceful at noon." Chongzhen, who did not listen to the advice, was defeated in Meishan and hanged himself in Meishan with Bai Ling. Before his death, he left his last words: "King Chuang came to the capital to take over the throne. Meishan's last words are in my heart. You will kill all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, but leave the Prime Minister Li Xiangcheng."
