Machiavellian scheming, the first person @2023 to recommend these two books. The shortcomings are that they are slow in the early stage and dense with foreshadowing. After a million words, I look back and see that they are all pitfalls buried by the author. The more I read, the more I get confused. 🍁①The protagonist Ling Bufan accidentally travels back to the Qian Dynasty. 🍓It seems to have no connection, 🌈It is actually an arrangement from somewhere. There are many female protagonists with high IQs, 🍀Shang Zhanchaotang, rich elements, recommended to everyone!

Background: The 16 books are all ancient texts. Type: All machinations, brain-burning, online IQ type. Content: The rhythm is very tight, the ups and downs of the story line are comparable to watching a drama, the logic is clear, and there are many exciting points. Suggestion: These books are more suitable for reading than listening. After all, it's not a fan novel like Pirates and Naruto. The storyline and character backgrounds in the show are not deep enough in our minds. It is not a mindless article, so it is not suitable for reading by listening. Furthermore, the average number of characters in these books is quite high, so those who are impatient may not be able to read them. Recommendation: Not to mention the recommendation level, each of the 16 books is worth reading. If you have to recommend it, "The No. 1 Madman of the Ming Dynasty", "The Prince Consort of the Kingdom", "The No. 1 Undercover Agent of the Southern Song Dynasty" and "My Grandfather is Zhu Yuanzhang" are relatively delicate and have basically filled in the pitfalls. Finally, he said: "Which of the 16 books have you read, and what is your evaluation?"

I recommend a few new historical time travel works that you can't put down. These excellent works have smooth and natural writing style, reasonable and rigorous plots, and profound historical background. Especially in the first book, the characters are full and vivid, not just a tool to promote the development of the plot. Each one has flesh and blood, sorrow and joy, and a plan. The emperor supports the world alone, and he is lonely and suspicious and practices the art of checks and balances; Mistakenly, they harm others and themselves; in order to secure power and safeguard their vested interests, powerful ministers form cliques for personal gain, frame attacks and exclude dissidents, and engage in party disputes; while the common people at the bottom are struggling to survive for food and clothing. In short, the world is a chess game, everyone is a pawn, and who is the chess player. Love, hate, anger, and obsession are tempered into fire, and every word directly touches the heart. Without any sensational words, it makes readers cry. They experience the joys and sorrows with the characters. The struggle of the small characters reflects the joys and sorrows of history. The fate of individuals is intertwined and carried forward by the torrent of the times. The plot is carefully laid out, the foreshadowing and dark lines are connected from beginning to end, and the logic is rigorous and grand. The political structure of the inner court of the former dynasty is in line with the background of the times. The textual lens is comparable to the script of a movie storyboard. Readers can learn a lot of historical and cultural knowledge through enjoyable reading. Good book five-star recommendation!
