He's risking his life to remonstrate with Zhu Yuanzhang; if he doesn't listen, he'll die right in front of you. The plot is hilarious, and the writing is elegant.🔥🔥🔥

   The emperor guards the nation's gates, the monarch dies for the state; to understand history, one must look to the Ming Dynasty. The first book is highly recommended; the protagonist's character is crucial in a novel, and this one perfectly aligns with contemporary socialist values.

The third book depicts the author's vigorous development of industry in the early Ming Dynasty, fulfilling a historical regret for many.
