It's a very interesting ancient costume conspiracy novel. The author's writing is very good and the story is exciting. The characters are also very interesting. One is the eldest prince Yan Wang Zhang Daoran who likes to hide and relax and is not interested in the throne. The other is Qin Wang Zhang Qinghan who is too naughty and gives the emperor a headache. The King of Yan, Zhang Daoran, suggested to the emperor that his younger brother Zhang Qinghan should leave the capital, stay away from the whirlpool of power, and be exiled to the remote northern border. This allowed the Yang family to relax their vigilance and train under their uncle in the northern border, slowly eradicate their stubborn temper, and train him to become a future emperor.
The core plot of "Ji Han" is that the prince Zhang Qinghan was exiled to the north for mistakenly killing a family member. At the beginning, the protagonist is placed in a dual crisis between the court and the frontier. The story setting is full of tension, and the suspense of "Is exile a dead end or the road to an emperor" is fascinating, and it has both a machinations and a growth narrative. The series is currently stable and updated continuously. Although the reader base is still small, the plot is compact and is expected to become a solid plot and strategy novel. It is suitable for readers who like historical fiction and stories about princes rising from adversity to try to catch up.
The novel uses a strong woman's counterattack as the bone and the entanglement of family and country as the soul. It describes the intrigues and love-hate dramas after the Miss General's mansion returns after she disappears. The heroine is cold and decisive, and she feels full of satisfaction in seizing military power and changing the situation of the government. The emotional line with the prince of the enemy country is secretly tense in the shadow of the sword. The exquisiteness of the house fight, the weirdness of the palace fight, and the passion of the battlefield are intertwined, and the rhythm is compact and not procrastinating. The characters written by Lazy Reaction are vivid and three-dimensional, and the plot is full of twists and turns. It not only has the excitement of "slapping a scumbag in the face", but also hides the profoundness of family and country. It makes you want to read it.
"Everything in the world is prosperous" - at the beginning of this book, this ancient saying sets a cold and grand tone for the whole story. The prince Zhang Qinghan accidentally killed the grandson of the family out of anger. In the turbulent court, the matter was instantly deconstructed into multiple aspects: it was a "catastrophic disaster" that required severe punishment for the Yi'an family, it was a "god-given opportunity" that all forces took the opportunity to fight against, and it was probably the ultimate tempering for the heir to the empire. He was "exiled" to the bitter cold north by his father and brother's hands. This seemed to be the end of his political life, but in fact it was the most subtle and cruel suspense setting in the book. The author uses the "body of guilt" as a blade to cut through the complex texture of the core of power. Is this "exile" a dead end of political abandonment, or a tailor-made road to an emperor? The answer is probably both. The freezing wind and snow in the north, the iron-blooded laws of the military camp, and the deadly threats that may come from the rear or the enemy at any time, together form a huge and ruthless melting pot. Here, the prince's halo is reduced to a shackles, and the dignity of blood is not as good as a sword or a gun. He must shed all his fancy clothes and fame, and relearn survival, control, and game between life and death in the most primitive way. This is not only the growth history of a prince, but also a thrilling microcosm of the eve of the transfer of power in the empire. The northern border is his proving ground and an outpost for observing chronic diseases of the empire and the security of the frontier. When he struggled and transformed in a desperate situation, what he saw was not only personal life and death, honor and disgrace, but also the fundamental benefit of the world's "bustling". This "Emperor's Road" is destined to be sacrificed with blood and fire, and evidenced by endless wind and snow.
The prince Zhang Qinghan accidentally killed the grandson of the family in a fit of rage. In the turmoil in the court, the contrast between "monstrous disaster" and "god-given opportunity" directly filled the drama with tension. The setting of being 'sent' to the northern military camp by his father and brother is like throwing a spoiled canary into a blizzard. Just thinking about his transformation from the golden clothes in the palace to the bloody blade on the battlefield is enough to make people look forward to it. The counterattack of the family's forces, the survival game in the military camp, and the secret calculations of the royal family... These threads are blended together to describe the struggle of the prince in distress, but also hide the undercurrent of conspiracy.
The author uses life-like scenes to support the grand border narrative, allowing readers to feel the liveliness of Longyuan City's streets and smell the smoke of the distant battlefield in the detailed dialogues. This writing method of seeing the big from the small makes the story full of layers and appeal. Good looking The author's writing style is very detailed, I really like ❤️❤️❤️
With exquisite writing power, the author outlines the loneliness, depression and ready-to-go sharpness of an emperor when facing internal and external difficulties in a small palace. It does not have grand war scenes or complex strategic dialogues. It depicts a dynasty's border crisis, internal decay, the emperor's loneliness, anger and determination through the moment when an emperor reads the military newspaper in the early morning. The reader seems to be able to hear the flickering sound of the candle, the emperor's suppressed breathing, and the immense power gathered in the silence before the ink pen fell. It successfully puts readers in that cold spring palace, staring at the scarred map with the emperor, and feeling the fate of the empire that is tied to one person and is as heavy as a mountain.
It is said that the power of history has declined, and the dreams of an era have been shattered. I saw a star rising, neither dazzling nor dazzling, with peaceful and profound words, writing about the stirring feelings in the court, whether the affection is difficult to reconcile, whether it is pleasure or hatred, the court is still the same court, the young blood is still hot, but people have changed one after another... The story of the court is always the same, the protagonist of the story changes again and again, what is left is the legend, the living person is the storyteller... The ending can be happy, but the court is always regretful...
The writing style is concise and cold, and the artistic conception is desolate and magnificent. The plot is ups and downs, the characters are vivid and three-dimensional, the delicate emotions are hidden in the light and shadow of the sword, and the character is revealed in the desperate counterattack. The foreshadowing is exquisite, the rhythm is relaxed and moderate, and the lines are full of chivalry and fateful vicissitudes. It is a hearty read with a long aftertaste. It can be called a masterpiece with both texture and depth.
The struggle in the court is written very realistically, making people feel that the author himself is a prince and has a strong sense of immersion. I can say that this is a rare masterpiece on Tomato. Thanks to the author for his hard work on coding, I highly recommend it. This work is definitely worth reading.
