This is a true and objective account, reflecting the situation at the end of a dynasty! Some might say it contradicts historical records. However, even historical records are written by people; unless one was a participant, who knows the truth? But analyzing the beneficiaries reveals that after the Yongle Emperor, the Ming emperors had lost control of the court.
I usually only read and never collect books, but I actually added this one to my collection. Both the story and the content are incredibly captivating; it's truly unique among Ming Dynasty history books. As long as the author doesn't mess things up, it's guaranteed to be a masterpiece!
The author's perspective is unique and worth reading.
A rare gem of a book, humorous yet rigorous. Chapter 188 is absolutely explosive! The villain is incredibly powerful! Zhang Cai is truly insane—this is what a villain should be like! Much more powerful than the Lord! I feel like Zhang Cai will definitely kill the Lord! And that name, Hei Huan, is amazing too—it's the first time I've known this guy's real name! I have to give it a thumbs up and five stars! I can't wait to see Zhang Cai torment others; I'll become a fan of Zhang Cai! 👍🏻
This book is witty and humorous, but the inner court's ranking system is too verbose. The author wants to express that a compassionate ruler cannot command an army, and that any means are justified to achieve one's goals—this is the essence of politics, and sordidness is the norm. For an emperor, this is the norm.
I really like it. It's great; the historical and contemporary elements blend very well. Keep up the good work, author!
I like this greedy Emperor Chongzhen.
A great book, truly well-written, with many aspects connected to reality, unlike those wish-fulfillment novels. The plot is very tight and engaging. I've finished reading the whole thing, keep it up, Bug! It's getting more and more exciting. Every character is well-developed, and the plot is very tight. Keep it up, though it's a bit too sensitive, hope it doesn't get censored!
The Chongzhen depicted by the author is exactly the kind of person I hope for. He deserves a five-star rating. Keep it up!
