Lin Fu was a modern-day historian who unexpectedly transmigrated to the Jiajing era of the Ming dynasty and became Zhang Juzheng. He takes a different path, participates in the Great Rites Controversy, sits the imperial examinations, and gradually gets drawn into a tremendous storm...!
See how Lin Fu rises step by step to become Grand Secretary, serving through the reigns of the Ming Shizong Zhu Houcong, Ming Muzong Zhu Zaihou, and Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun: three emperors in all!
A veteran minister of three reigns, he counts everyone from imperial relatives and nobles to ordinary folk among his students and protégés. Watch as the protagonist transforms a poor and weakened mid-Ming era into a great age to rival the Hongwu and Yongle reigns. This book vividly portrays the intrigue, backstabbing, and political scheming of officialdom!
The steam age returns to the Great Ming, which becomes an empire on which the sun never sets in the East!
Most of this book follows history, while a small portion is pure fiction. Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental!
(The protagonist’s identity as a transmigrator will gradually fade into the background as he comes to fit into the society of the time.)
