He implemented cruel laws, bore the grievances of the people, and carried the infamy of a thousand years, all to return a clean and complete Tang Dynasty to that 'sage ruler'.] [He used his own body to build a wall to isolate the emperor from all filth.] [When the horns of victory sounded, when the iron hooves of the foreign invaders retreated, that 'sword' stained with filth and sin was no longer of use.] [The people petitioned, the officials submitted memorials, all saying: 'Without Mu Ziyu's death, the country will never have peace!'] [And that emperor who had sworn to live and die with him, that 'elder brother' who had personally handed him his sword and seal, ultimately chose the world, abandoning his 'brother'.] [He tacitly approved the trial, tacitly approved the people's curses, tacitly approved his 'younger brother' being beheaded at the Vermilion Bird Gate.] He sacrificed Mu Ziyu's life to bring about the revival of the Tang Dynasty and to earn his own eternal sagehood.

    The protagonist is portrayed as a fully fleshed-out character with a distinct personality. Although he advised Zhu Yuanzhang only to "die" by traveling back to the modern world and becoming a wealthy man, he still possesses the qualities of a modern person. He dares to kill a vassal king who harms the people in the street, and he also feels anger and sorrow for the murder of his benefactor. Zhu Yuanzhang's portrayal is also relatively consistent with historical figures; he doesn't blindly forgive or like the protagonist because of the system, but retains his own personality traits. The state of wanting to kill but not daring to is particularly interesting.

    I recommend this book. It tells a story of hardship at the beginning, with no parents and being forced to break off an engagement. The protagonist participates in the imperial examination and overcomes all difficulties to finally achieve success. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he curses the new emperor Zhu Yunwen and pursues Zhu Di, all in the hope of ending the war quickly and reducing the suffering of the people. It follows the course of history and witnesses half of the history of the Ming Dynasty.

    Don't miss these two books! 1. **🍒🍒** This one is great. The female lead dedicates her life to the court, doing practical things for the people. She achieves the highest honors in the imperial examinations, following the path of the civil service. She's a woman disguised as a man and will never be exposed. There's no romantic pairing.

She accompanies Xie Huaiqing from the cold palace to the border, and then fights her way back to the capital. Watching Xie Huaiqing become emperor, she and the male lead deal with powerful clans, surrounded by danger. They face impeachments from ministers, constant assassinations, and the constant threat of their true gender being discovered. Once the mission is accomplished, she feigns death, bidding farewell to her identity as Lord Yun, and travels the world. Afterwards, the court loses Lord Yun, and the world gains Yun Zhao. However, less than three years into her travels, the system she left suddenly returned, saying that Xie Huaiqing was showing signs of becoming a tyrant again.
