A Practical Encyclopedia of Political Intrigues and Scheming in Ancient Chinese Courts (Part 1)

This book selects stories from different angles about the battles of wisdom and life-and-death struggles between monarchs and ministers in feudal society for imperial power inside and outside the palace. Here, in order to maintain the throne, the emperor can ignore family ties and go on a killing spree; in order to claim the throne, the son dares to kill his father and seize the throne, regardless of human ethics; in order to compete for the throne, brothers fight against each other and kill each other; in order to cause chaos, the concubine is responsible for the establishment of the court and listens to the government behind the curtain; for the sake of dictatorship, the regent deceives the emperor and is arrogant; in order to disrupt the government, the eunuch controls the government and covers the sky with one hand. The word "imperial power" reduces all knowledge to conspiracy, and all crowns are stained with blood. The chilling palace dramas staged here, and the shocking and bloody pictures displayed here, leave profound lessons to future generations and bring people deep thoughts. It reminds people to remember history and not make the same mistakes.
