This article uses the real history of the Ming Dynasty from the death of Xuande in 1435 to the capture of the gate in 1457 as the absolute time anchor. Without changing the core historical events or subverting the historical trend, this article focuses on the growth line of Jiang Cai, a food inspector in modern society: an abandoned son from a dying branch of the Jiangnan clan, relying on "bamboo craftsmanship + professional food inspection capabilities + "The Prophet of Ming History" completed his primitive accumulation, took the imperial examination as a ladder to enter the center of power in the Ming Dynasty, and eventually became Yu Qian's right-hand man. He was deeply involved in core historical nodes such as the Tumu Fort Incident, the Defense of Beijing, the Jingtai New Deal, and the Seizing of the Gate Incident. In the irreversible historical torrent, he kept his original intention, protected people's livelihood, and practiced the life creed of "Don't be afraid of having your bones broken into pieces, but you must leave your innocence in the world."
Reader comments
The characters in the novel are real and three-dimensional, without being overly deified. The social features of the Ming Dynasty are described in small words, and it also explains the character of scholars who use their talents to help the world and keep their hearts and minds upright. It is truly moving to read. Highly recommended [like]
