As the old saying goes, a man is Machiavellian, has feelings for his family and country, has three correct views, has a pattern and depth, has a firm background and has faith. What he wants is loyalty to the country rather than loyalty to the imperial power. Double strong, all members have brains, micro-group portraits, complex power system construction, multi-camp game logic, and the grayness of character motivations. The writing is delicate and full of tension. It describes the undercurrents in the ravines of people's hearts under the emperor's mind, and the cracks under the skin of powerful ministers. The author's writing is both aggressive and balanced, and he also has the ability to catch his own choices.

[Three Kingdoms fan fiction, no system, no time travel, no golden fingers] This is a historical legendary martial arts book [I learned it] Ma Yunlu: The world is as black as crows, I will not marry anyone! Zhao Yun: Getting married in troubled times will only lead to disappointment. I will not marry anyone! [Martial arts-like, traditional ancient novels, Three Kingdoms fan fiction: the love story of Ma Yunlu The galaxy is dim but I haven't seen you yet. This book shows the growth process of Ma Yunlu, the daughter of Tianshui Prefect Ma Teng, the sister of Jin Machao, and the wife of Zhao Yun, from a girl to a female general, and tells the love story between her and Zhao Yun. (This article adopts a dual-line narrative. When the male and female protagonists are together, they follow the emotional line, and when they are not together, they follow the growth line, the era and the war line.) Most books on famous historical generals will cover it. This book is characterized by a female perspective, and women think more... It can be regarded as a new interpretation of the popular stories of the Three Kingdoms period from a new perspective. (There are situations where the plot needs to not follow the "Romance" or "Official History" timeline. The overall direction is similar to that of the Romance, so please be careful)

Li Dingguo looked at him and suddenly said: "Eight Kings, you are different from what my father said." "It's different?" "My father said that you are a madman. You don't care about your life in fighting, and you don't even blink when you kill someone." Li Dingguo paused, "But I think you are more powerful than my father, but you are less courageous than my father." Zhang Xianzhong was stunned. He, the Eight Great Kings, drew their swords from the grain stand, started to cause trouble in Yan'an Mansion, and started to rebel. This was the first time that he was called cowardly. "Yes." Li Dingguo said seriously, "You are afraid of defeat. Afraid of people being dispersed, afraid of losing everything. My father and Uncle Liu are not afraid." Zhang Xianzhong stared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled. "You brat, you are so powerful." He looked at Li Dingguo: "If you become the leader of a battalion, or even the leader of an army, with tens of thousands of people under your command, you will understand. This is not fear, this is the awareness you must have when you are a king. If you are not aware, the team will not be united.

Writing is something that is really visible and tangible. For example, I once read a novel. The protagonist wrote that the heroine got sick on a plane to the United States. As soon as she got off the plane, he rushed her to the First People's Hospital of New York City for medical treatment. I was a little dumbfounded after reading this. This kind of writing cannot simply be regarded as a cognitive error! Therefore, I recommend historical novels very cautiously. If the writing style and logic are not good, I don't dare to make blind recommendations. And this book is really good. It didn't make me laugh out loud, but it made me smile knowingly.

80 铁 Iron Law Censor Return to Life and Know the UsualHistorical304k WordsCompleted 4Reads5.8Score—Shelves

Reader note

The Great Yin Dynasty ruled the world with iron laws. The Overwatch Council is like a sword hanging from the ceiling, and under the Haechi totem stand eight iron-faced censors - and Shen Ye is the youngest and most "crazy" among them. He started investigating a corruption case and tore apart the shady story of smuggling in the border town, but he didn't know that he had stepped into a huge network of power and intrigue that had been entrenched in the court for twenty years. The chief minister, Lin Ruhai, covered the sky with his hands, and the imperial power was weak. All those who had touched the truth became corpses in the deep pits of Taihang Mountain. But Shen Ye didn't believe this evil. He brought a blue book of orders unearthed from a deep pit - a relic of Taizu, "Those who hold this order will hunt on behalf of heaven", opened the Desheng Gate under the blade of Yulin Zuowei, forced the chief minister of the dynasty to kneel in front of the iron stele of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and uncovered the mystery of the magic weapon that spanned several generations of emperors in the thousand-year underground palace. From a case of ink corruption in a border town to the underground palace secrets that could destroy a dynasty; from the pursuit of the murderer by a lonely censor, to the backbone of the Hachi built with flesh and blood for three generations. This is a lonely battle, a mantis fighting against the chariot, and a relay passed down from generation to generation. "I hope those who come later will have no regrets." What he was investigating was not the case, but the backbone of Da Tao.
