[Hongwu, Ming Dynasty, history, anti-corruption, little people, Zhu Yuanzhang] In the first year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty was established, and all kinds of wastes were waiting to be revitalized. However, an inconspicuous bribery case stirred up the officialdom of the entire empire like a butterfly fluttering its wings.
This book focuses on that era of blood and fire. Above the court, the founding heroes Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen were wrestling in the undercurrent; below the court, a commoner was involved in the whirlpool of life and death for his "wife status." One case after another brings out the hidden power game; one trial after another changes the fate of countless little people.
"Little people, big history." This book is based on real historical cases, from the perspective of ordinary people, showing the vigorous anti-corruption storm in the early Ming Dynasty. Here there are farmers with their backs turned to the sky, officials trembling under the cruel laws, and traffickers and pawns struggling to survive among the powerful. They may be unknown, but they are the background of an era.
Open this book and see how Zhu Yuanzhang used heavy laws to control troubled times, and see how little people struggle to survive in the meat grinder of power. This is not only a historical novel about corruption and punishment, but also a tragic song about the survival and tenacity of little people under harsh rule.
