In the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was extremely corrupt and the situation on the border was extremely serious. Liangshan military advisor Wu Yong was reincarnated as the seventh-grade county magistrate, over fifty years old. This person is greedy for money and lustful, but he has hidden agendas. He discovered that Lin Chong, Wu Song and other Liangshan heroes had also been reincarnated, and the memories and grievances of their previous lives still existed. The strange woman Zhu Huiti, the eldest princess of Le'an, is smart and courageous. She takes control of the Dragon Sect and intends to reorganize the court. Wu Yong appeared to be mediocre and inactive, but in fact he carried out actions such as confiscating property, amassing money, and cultivating influence against corrupt officials and relatives of the emperor to help Zhu Huiti seize power. At that time, the Jurchens in Jianzhou in the north were rising, and Nurhachi was invading the frontiers; internally, King Xin colluded with the vassal kings to cause rebellion, King Fu tried to usurp the throne, and externally, there were uprisings by Li Zicheng (the reincarnation of Chao Gai) and Zhang Xianzhong (the reincarnation of Song Jiang). After the reincarnation, Wu used "corruption", "robbery", lust and other methods to break through the restrictions of the system, got involved in local separatism and the struggle for the throne, promoted the changes in the political structure of the Ming Dynasty, and planned a strategy to destroy Zhang Xianzhong (the reincarnation of Song Jiang). He thinks clearly and his deductions are as accurate as a god. He relies on his clear mind to see through the court's flaws, see through conspiracies, and formulate strategies. He pretends to be stupid and slow in the officialdom. He joins forces with the reborn loyal old friends of Liangshan to compete with the powerful officials of the Donglin Party, the Jinyiwei eunuchs, and the separatist warlords. In the end, he became the regent, and heroes such as Lin Chong, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen were granted official titles, and assisted Zhu Huiti to become the only female emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although the world is on the verge of collapse, it has not yet collapsed, and the game between the temple and the dead souls has begun.
Reader comments
Dig! I am the first reviewer! This is a new perspective. Instead of writing about Song Heisan, it is very novel to write about Wu Yong. I don't like Song Jiang. I have been a coward all my life. I finally got territory and people, but I still insist on Shandong ideas. Even if I betray my brothers, I have to rejoin the army. I hope that all the capitulation faction and Zhao'an faction headed by Song Jiang can be killed in the future. If that doesn't work, ask Wu Yong to build his own gate and wall.
This sequel to Liangshan is astonishingly imaginative, breaking the classic framework with an unexpected recruitment incident. Wu Yong's counterattack line of being reborn as a seventh-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty is very satisfying - stealing corruption, fighting against the emperor's relatives, winning the princess, resisting the queen's money, and working step by step to reach the regent. The description of power and intrigue is full of tension. The final rebirth of the "Avengers" such as Wu Song and Lin Chong instantly changed the rhythm of the novel into a fateful showdown. The foreshadowing was cleverly buried, making people eager to follow up.
The content is very good and deserves five stars.
A good novel, the plot is novel and the rhythm of the story is well controlled.
