The ancient saying is Machiavellian, with feelings of family and country, dual strengths, and everyone has brains. Micro-groups resemble the construction of a complex power system, the logic of multi-camp games, and the grayness of character motivations. The writing is delicate and full of tension, describing the undercurrents in the ravines of people's hearts under the emperor's mind, and the cracks in the skins of powerful ministers. The author's writing is both aggressive and balanced, and he can also make his own choices.

Reader note
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!

There was a muffled "pop" sound, and the traitor in Wu Ren's mouth was thrown into the palace like a rice dumpling tied with five flowers. The man's mouth was stuffed with smelly-looking rags, and his face was bruised but he still glared at him. But he just glared at him and immediately struggled and knelt down towards the emperor. "Remove the cloth from his mouth," the emperor said. "Your Majesty! I have been wronged!" As soon as the man was released, he immediately knelt down and began to cry. The emperor frowned and waved his hands repeatedly, "Please keep your voice down, I'm not deaf."

"There is a Carp in the Western Mountains" really unearthed a treasure! The setting of ancient fantasy + three hundred years of fateful entanglement is superb, with a plot that is both sweet and sad, with constant twists and turns. The heroine, Yao Yao, is cold and tough, and has spent three hundred years feeding carps with flesh and blood, and has spent three hundred years in sinking ponds to transform into enchantments. Her sense of fragmentation hides her stubbornness and sincerity; the male protagonist is a tolerant and restrained emperor. He seems to be majestic and mighty, but has clumsy affection in his emotions. When facing the heroine, he has an uncontrollable concern. Although the emperor cannot help himself, he always protects her in secret, and his character is real and unsuspicious.
