Zhu Houcong was a writer of historical web novels. One day, he woke up to find himself the Jiajing Emperor of the Great Ming, in the twenty-eighth year of the Jiajing reign.
When it comes to the historical Jiajing Emperor,
he was exceptionally clever from a young age, bold and decisive. Though he had no power base to begin with, he secured a firm grip on imperial authority through the Great Rites Controversy.
He curbed the eunuchs with one hand and reformed the government with the other, curtailing the influence of imperial relatives and revising the civil service examinations. His reign was hailed as the Jiajing Restoration, and he nurtured a generation of eminent ministers, including Zhang Juzheng, Yang Jisheng, Wang Shizhen, Yin Shidan, Yin Zhengmao, and Wang Daokun!
Yet the historical Jiajing Emperor was also
obsessed with Taoist cultivation and immortality. He held grand religious ceremonies at great cost to the people, stayed away from court for decades, and kept Yan Song, the most powerful corrupt official of his age, as Grand Secretary for twenty years.
In the Gengxu Crisis of Jiajing’s twenty-ninth year, more than a hundred thousand troops under Altan Khan marched on Beijing. The emperor was helpless with fear, allowing them to plunder and kill at will, taking two million subjects and livestock...
Zhu Houcong murmured to himself: I am the Jiajing Emperor of the Great Ming. I have less than twenty years. I will build a different Great Ming!
Although it is a time-travel novel, it strives to be realistic and is not a mindless and exciting novel. I hope you will like it [Working on the manuscript][Working on the manuscript][Working on the manuscript] When it comes to Jiajing, everyone mainly talks about his merits and demerits. I stood on the basis of predecessors and tried to reflect Zhu Houcong's series of psychological changes after he traveled through time and became emperor. In addition, there will be more than one time traveler in the book...
It's a very interesting way of writing, and it can be considered an upper-middle-class level among Tomato's historical novels (I personally think that quite a few of Tomato's historical novels are only a middle-to-lower level). However, I personally feel that there are still some places that do not fit the background of the time, but they are harmless and worth a look.
Not bad. Come on, author.
I hope I can finish it carefully
Well, the writing is pretty good😄😄 The description of character style is also good [full]
The author has done research
It's beautiful. Few stories about traveling to Jiajing are written so well.
