The sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all "cruel men" with stories to tell!
At the beginning, there is the beggar emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who built his country from scratch, and fights corruption with an iron fist that even scares his own people; in the middle there is Zhu Di, who usurps the throne and counterattacks, and leads a fleet to the West to engage in "wealth-showing diplomacy"; there is the "Luban Emperor" Zhu Youxiao who loves to do carpentry, and his craftsmanship is better than that of the government; and there is the dedicated emperor Zhu Youtang who loves only one person in his life, and turns his harem into a model of "monogamy".
There are no boring chronicles here, only the hilarious daily life, bizarre operations and hard-core lives of the Zhu family emperors. Some of them quarreled with the civil servants in the court, some were romantic in the harem, some were obsessed with side jobs and had no interest in government affairs, and some tried their best but could not reverse the decline.
Open this book and see how the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, in the "high-risk position" of the throne, staged historical dramas that made people laugh and bang the table!
