About This Novel
77 days before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang launched a northern expedition to the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty, and Prince Zhu Biao stayed in Yingtianfu, Nanjing, the capital. Little did they know that in Nanjing at this time, undercurrents were surging. With the severe drought as the background and the arrest of Li Shanchang's nephew Li Bin for corruption as the trigger, a secret war began surrounding Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and Liu Bowen. Various parties launched an arduous and complicated wrestling on this matter. When three major problems such as driving away the barbarians, eliminating natural disasters, and clearing up the rule of law suddenly hit them, the four people each showed their uprightness, strategy, and ferocity. A small incident suddenly became the biggest case in the early days of the Ming Dynasty. Who is confusing everything? What secrets are hidden behind this corruption case? Why did Liu Bowen resign and go home 11 days after the case ended? Did Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang really die because of the "Hu Weiyong Case"? All the secrets are within these 77 days!
