In the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing went crazy! Imagination, Counterattack, Shura Field, crushing "conventional historical articles". Looking for "Ming Dynasty Jiajing/Historical Imagination/Counterattack/Shura Field" article? This wave has filled up "Jiajing Counterattack/Brain Crush/Feeling Full" - crushing "conventional historical jokes" and exploding "Jiajing Shura Field" in each chapter 👇 🔥 "Jiajing Has a Good Saint Grandson (Wanli Long Song)" - Saint Sun Conferred God: You "Saint Grandson Crushed Jiajing", the system was stunned: "Is this... A Saint Grandson or a nuclear bomb?!" The historical circle dreamed: "My Ming Dynasty... Was occupied by the Saint Sun?!" You shrugged: "First let your Jiajing... Be my younger brother." (In ancient history, the Saint Sun directly became the "little brother"!) - Anti-kill system: The system forces you to "Don't use the Saint Sun to cheat", and you backhand live broadcast the "Saint Sun Output", and the system screams: "Host... You have destroyed the Ming Dynasty program!" 🚀"Sixty Years of Monasticism in the Ming Dynasty, I Ascend in the Day" - Famous scene of monasticism: You "monasticism crushes Jiajing", the monasticism is dumbfounded: "Is this... A monasticism or a plug-in?!" The historical circle asked a dream: "My Ming Dynasty... Was occupied by monasticism?!" You shrugged: "First let your Jiajing... Be used as a material library for me." (Historical thinking, monks have to call you master!) - Cross-border linkage: Exchange the monasticism for "Plants vs. Zombies Dave's Shop", and the historical circle will directly give you "monastic privileges". Ma Baoguo cried: "Lend me the monasticism... To cultivate Jiajing!" 👑"I Jiajing, I invite Taizu Chengzu to join the group chat at the beginning" - Group chat counterattack: You "crushed Jiajing in the group chat", the group chat was stunned: "Is this... A group chat or a cheat?!" Dreams from the historical circle: "My Ming Dynasty... Was occupied by group chat?!" You shrugged: "First let your Jiajing... Be used as a material library for me." (Historical imagination, group chat directly becomes a "material library"!) - Counter-murder plot: Capital wants to grab the "group chat", you broadcast the "group chat actual battle" on the spot: "I want... To apologize publicly first!" The capital boss knelt down crying: "I... Was wrong!" Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty went crazy! Brainstorming, counterattack, Shura field... Every operation is a blast to the "anti-routine cool point". History has changed from "regular Ming Dynasty" to "Shura field", so cool that the Jiajing Law collapsed!

Reader note

Zhu Houcong, Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, was the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He reigned from 1521 to 1566 and was named Jiajing. He was a rare long-lived emperor in the Ming Dynasty. In the early days, Emperor Jiajing was wise and strict, rectified the imperial court, reduced taxes and levies, fought against Japanese pirates, revitalized the country's affairs, and created the "Jiajing Zhongxing". In the later period, although he was fond of Taoism and did not serve the court, he still firmly controlled the court officials. He could be called an accomplished emperor, laying the foundation for the "Longqing New Deal" and Zhang Juzheng's reforms! In the first part, Jiajing worked hard to achieve governance in the early stage and achieved ZTE governance. In his later years, he reused Yan Song and believed in Taoism. However, in the end, he broke through the secular world and punished Yan Song's son, causing Yan Song to die because of the loss of his son! As the leader of the ZTE, he returned to orthodoxy in the end, and he is worthy of being a wise leader! [Like][Like][Like]

I highly recommend Tomato Novels. I, Jiajing, am not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. The Secret History of the Hidden Dragon 1. Original essay by Feng Yihua Feng Yihua Wei Feng April 1, 2026 15:01 Guangdong Listen to the full text Read immersively in the novel reader I highly recommend Tomato Novels' most popular work - "I, Jiajing, am not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, The Secret History of the Hidden Dragon Part 1". This novel breaks the shackles of traditional historical literature and has become the most worth-reading work in recent times due to its three "unique" qualities. History lovers and cool literature lovers can find resonance. It is the only novel that focuses on "stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix into a phoenix". It breaks away from the conventional narrative of Emperor Jiajing and subverts perceptions with a new setting: the protagonist is not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, but with the help of fate, he first became the crown prince of Prince Xing and then the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Every step of counterattack is full of tension, subverting the stereotype of traditional historical narrative. It is the only novel that describes Emperor Jiajing as a master of martial arts, breaking the inherent setting of "emperors only know tactics". The protagonist possesses peerless martial arts. He can not only play the emperor's balancing act in the court, but also enjoy grudges in the world. Machiavellian and martial arts collide. It has both the weight of history and the free and easy feeling of the world. It is a hearty read. It is the only novel that deeply explores the people's livelihood of the Ming Dynasty. Unlike other historical novels that focus on court battles, this work deeply depicts the fireworks of the Jiajing period, from the business transactions on the southeast coast to the daily necessities of the ordinary people. The novel combines both excitement and quality. It has a refreshing plot of counterattack and comeback, and a detailed description that fits the historical background. There is no redundant plot, the rhythm is tight, and the whole process is high-energy. Friends who are interested, quickly open Tomato Novels to search and read, unlock this unique secret history of Jiajing, and experience the different Jianghu and court of the Ming Dynasty!

Reader note

The small secretary office of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty relied on modern knowledge of cultural relic restoration to change lives! Dressed as Zhou Yu, a down-and-out book clerk during the Jiajing period. During the day, he copied pornographic books, and at night he had to do his old job - stealing. He originally wanted to hang out, but he met Shen Qingqing, the daughter of a loyal minister, who was forced to become a concubine. With a soft heart, he killed the evil businessman and was wanted ever since. He also had the mess of "breaking prison to save his father". Yan Shifan asked for the national treasure "Listening to the Qin Picture" before he was willing to let him go. The authentic work is in the iron-walled Linggu Temple. If you steal it, you will die. If you don't steal it... Shen Qingqing and his daughter will also die. Zhou Yu scratched his head: "Isn't it a painting by Huizong of the Song Dynasty? I even painted the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the Forbidden City that was shattered into pieces!" Thus, the most outrageous "exchanging fake for real" game in history began. He used tea to "age" new silk, used rust to imitate insect infestation, and even left a "flaw that only a true connoisseur can see" in the fake for Yan Shifan... Yan Dang took the fake painting as if it was a treasure, and Qingliu hated him deeply. The whole Ming Dynasty thought he was a villain who clung to power. Until the day Yan Song fell, Zhou Yu took out the real "Listening to the Qin Picture" in his arms and bowed in front of Jiajing: "Your Majesty, this picture is real, I will keep it for you." Highlights of this book: Professional treasure appraisal + extreme wits: using modern cultural relic restoration knowledge to create "super fakes" in the Ming Dynasty, walking a tightrope between the Yan Party, Qingliu and the emperor. Double-faced life: During the day, he is a coward and bookkeeper, and at night, he is the "Qinhuai Stealing Shadow" who gives Jin Yiwei a headache. Counterattack in a desperate situation: From a wanted criminal to a popular figure in the royal court, it all depends on the unique skill of "confusing the fake with the real one". Exquisite historical details: restore the true ecology of officialdom, markets, rivers and lakes during the Jiajing period. "I am neither a traitor nor a loyal minister. I am just a craftsman who wants to survive and save the people who should be saved." ——Zhou Yu

Reader note

Recently I dug up a very high-quality Ming Dynasty time travel novel, which is not the light and refreshing kind of novel at all. The protagonist is a doctor of modern Ming history. As soon as he passes through, he becomes a young sharecropper who is about to starve to death. His family is poor, he has a mute sister to support, his brother is missing, there are Japanese pirates burning and killing outside, and there is a strict party inside, which makes the start of the game so miserable that it is suffocating. But he didn't lie down. He relied on the historical knowledge and GIS charts in his mind to change the salt law, gather disaster victims, fight against Japanese pirates, and break the sea ban little by little. He got up from the mud and walked all the way to the court. It made me feel heartbroken and passionate, and the more I watched, the more I felt.
