Romance of the Imperial Courts of Chinese Dynasties (complete Three Volumes)
by Zou Jimeng
About This Novel
Chinese court romances include three volumes: "Palace: A Romance of Coup d'état (Spring and Autumn - Sui)", "Palace: A Romance of Coup d'état (Tang - Qing)", and "Palace: A Romance of Romantic Changes in Dynasties". The author uses his profound historical accomplishment and literary skills to vividly interpret the thrilling palace coups of the past dynasties and examine the political and emotional world of ancient China. The alternation of power between blood and fire, the tragedy of beauty in the palace, is the battle between wisdom, courage and humanity. The two volumes of "Chronicles of Historical Coups" use novels to interpret the most thrilling palace coups in China's history - from usurping the throne by powerful ministers to deposing emperors, from plotting to kill to blood-stained kings, every change of power is a battle of wisdom, courage and humanity. The whole book uses history as its sutra and people as its weft, integrating real historical events into vivid narratives. Readers can not only see how Li Longji seized power and proclaimed himself emperor, and how Sima Zhao controlled the world, but also gained insight into Zhu Di's ambitions in Jingnan and Cixi's scheming behind the curtain. The characters in the book are vivid and the plot is ups and downs, recreating the undercurrent of dynasty change like an epic. "The Romance of Historical Dynasties" re-examines the political and emotional world of ancient China from a female perspective - from the emperor's favorite concubine to the female prime minister in troubled times, from the deeply affectionate talented woman to the calm and Machiavellian wise queen. Their love and hate, wisdom and confusion are not only the tragedy of beauty, but also the confrontation between wisdom and the times.
