"When Tianshu loses his position, there will be great changes."
In the nineteenth year of Yongle, a sudden change completely changed the fate of the Ming Empire.
Yongle Emperor Zhu Di died unexpectedly during his northern expedition to Mongolia, leaving an unresolved issue of succession to the throne. The three princes have different personalities, and each has different supporting forces: the prince Zhu Gaochi is kind but indecisive, and has the support of the civil service group; the second prince Zhu Gaoxu is brave and good at fighting, and controls the elite of the Beijing camp; the third prince Zhu Gaosui has a deep palace and secretly manages maritime power. A thrilling power struggle begins.
This is not only a story about the change of imperial power, but also a magnificent historical picture: the struggle between civil servants and military generals, the game between maritime merchants and the government, and the conflict between old and new forces, all colliding fiercely in this special historical time and space. All forces are involved in this power whirlpool: cabinet scholar Yang Shiqi is strategizing, veteran General Xu is struggling between loyalty and righteousness, salt merchant Zhou Tong is dealing with multiple forces, and a shocking secret gradually surfaces with the return of Zheng He's fleet.
Not bad, the writing is also good
