1582-1601. In October 1601, the twenty-ninth year of the Wanli reign, Emperor Wanli finally named his eldest son, Zhu Changluo, Crown Prince, his third son, Zhu Changxun, Prince of Fu, his fifth son, Zhu Changhao, Prince of Rui, his sixth son, Zhu Changrun, Prince of Hui, and his seventh son, Zhu Changying, Prince of Gui. The dispute over the imperial succession finally came to an end. This was the most intense and complicated political affair of the Wanli era. It drove four Grand Secretaries from office: Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping, Zhao Zhigao, and Wang Xijue. More than ten senior officials were implicated, along with over three hundred central and local officials. Over a hundred were dismissed, stripped of their posts, or exiled to military service, all as part of the campaign against the Donglin faction.
After ten years of enduring hardship, I, the Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo, will not die young. I will borrow another five hundred years from Heaven. I will settle the succession, resist the Manchus and the Russian Empire, destroy Japan, reclaim Taiwan and Macau, advance science and technology, and strengthen the military, so that our mighty Ming stands at the pinnacle of the world.

The plot dragged on a bit. The author feels that it can speed up the plot and enhance the sense of reading.
