No CP, no wisdom, no golden fingers, no brainless pleasure... Serious textual research... The author has hinted (explicitly) that Wu Zetian will ascend the throne.

A rigorous and beautiful historical article. Also known as "The Ming Zhenhai King". Zhang Wuxian, a 36-year-old entrepreneurial failure, traveled back eleven years to Hongwu and became a 20-year-old spirited young man. He originally wanted to lie down and be a salted fish, but his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder made him unable to see anything "unreasonable" - wrong food prices must be corrected, medical care is backward, the army must be corrected, even if Ming Dynasty does not conquer the world, it must be corrected. What's even more outrageous is that he has a system in his mind that automatically stuffs him with solutions and supplies every time he suffers an episode of obsessive-compulsive disorder, without paying for it. So - he saved the dying Crown Princess Chang after childbirth, and Chang Yuchun's daughter survived; he inoculated the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying with cowpox, and the child who should have died at the age of 8 was alive and kicking; he rescued Empress Ma by infusion when she was critically ill, and Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite woman lived twenty more years; he diagnosed Zhu Biao's terminal illness in advance, so that the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty would no longer die young. Once these four people were alive, the history of the Ming Dynasty was completely rewritten - Emperor Jianwen was gone, the Battle of Jingnan was gone, and the Lan Yu Case was gone. Empress Ma recognized him as her adopted son and said "this is my son" when meeting people; Zhu Biao and Zhu Di called him brothers, one called him "virtuous brother" and the other called him "brother-in-law"; Xu Da took the initiative to marry his daughter to him, and he became the son-in-law of Wei Guogong; Lan Yu regarded him as his savior and defended him from the knife in the court. Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are the most diligent person we have ever seen in this life." Zhang Wuxian replied with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I am really not diligent... I am sick!" Later, he led Zheng He to capture the Shijian Yin Mountain, crossed the Pacific Ocean, discovered America, and planted the flag of the Ming Dynasty all over the world. On the day when the Ming Dynasty unified the world, he could finally lie down. But there is a tree planted crookedly in the yard...

This book can be called a contemporary "Historical Records". The author inherited Sima Qian's historical view of "studying the relationship between heaven and man and understanding the changes in ancient and modern times", but compressed five thousand years into a sensible story with a faster pace and more vivid pictures. Reading it is like having a conversation with Tai Shigong, except this time, he changed his tone to a popular one, but it is not half as profound.

An epic about "original intention" Among the numerous time-travel novels, "Cangtian is dead, fight!" Is an anomaly. It doesn't have Shuangwen-style golden fingers, it doesn't have the thrill of conquering the world, and it doesn't even have the "aura of the protagonist" in the traditional sense. Its protagonist, Qi Run, is an ordinary delivery boy from 2023. Every victory after time travel is accompanied by tragic sacrifices, and every growth is soaked in the blood of his comrades. But this is precisely the most unique thing about this work: it is not a novel about "success", but a novel about "original intention". It asks: over the past two thousand years, are the struggles and sacrifices of those people who have been called "thieves", "thieves" and "bandits" by official history worth it? Where will the road they paved with flesh and blood lead to in the end? This is the soul of this novel: it uses the shell of time travel to wrap up an innocent heart of questioning history and paying tribute to the martyrs. It tells us that the "river of original intention" that has flowed for two thousand years finally merged into the ocean of victory in 1949. 1. The River of Original Intention: From Liu Xia Zhi to 1949 Users condensed the theme of this work into "The River of Original Intention", which is the most profound grasp of the novel. This river has been flowing since the Spring and Autumn Period, and every wave is the blood and tears of the oppressed: The feet under the willows are the courage to resist. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang completed the first disenchantment of "Destiny". Zhang Jiao explored a way to organize people through faith. Huang Chao proved that without a base, rogueism could not ultimately win. The Red Scarf Army warns that internal careerists are more dangerous than external enemies. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Boxer Rebellion showed that those in power would rather be friends than domestic slaves. The experience in this river was gained by the lives of our predecessors. Zhang Jiao didn't know this, but Qi Run did. Qi Run returned to the late Han Dynasty with two thousand years of experience, and told Zhang Jiao before he died: Your journey was not in vain. The seeds you water with your lives will eventually bear fruit two thousand years later. This is the ultimate meaning of the "river of original intention": it is not the ideal of a certain person, but the collective memory and collective will accumulated by a class, a nation, and a civilization in two thousand years of struggle and struggle. 2. Class and road: the inevitable fate of five parallel lines. The most profound insight of this work is that history is not a duel between good and evil, but countless roads determined by class attributes, colliding head-on at the crossroads of the times. No one is a clown, everyone reaches the extreme on their own track, ultimately forming a picture of that magnificent, bloody and cruel era. (1) Yellow Turban Road: The struggle of the oppressed and its tragedy (2) Loyal Minister Road: Martyrs of the old order (3) Family Road: Sustainability of interests beyond the dynasty (4) Warlord Road: Unstable factors arising from force (5) Imperial Road: Prisoners and careerists The real emperor: three different kinds of prisoners Imperial careerists: pursuers forced out by class identity They are all forced to stop by their own class. They have to keep climbing, they have to keep proving themselves, because if they stop, they will fall back to the "place" that scares them. 3. View of History: Deconstructing the Heroes and Reconstructing the People The most subversive contribution of this work is the deconstruction of the traditional heroic view of history and the reconstruction of the people's view of history. 4. Literary techniques: symbolism, narrative and emotion Symbolic system: The three women are the embodiment of ideas - Zhang Furong is the "original intention", Guan He is the "courage", and Ye Yun is the "kindness and tenderness". They are not a "harem", but the three dimensions of Qirun's spiritual world. Narrative structure: The novel takes Qi Run's time travel as its starting point. The structure is large but not scattered, with a clear main line and rich side lines. 5. Artistic achievements and limitations Achievements: 1. Depth of thought: Integrating class analysis, historical philosophy, and revolutionary narrative into time-travel novels, reaching a rare philosophical height in online literature. 2. Character creation: All main characters have clear class attributes and behavioral logic, and there is no simple dichotomy between good and bad. 3. Emotional power: The memorial to the victims is sincere and touching, making people cry when reading it. 4. Historical insight: The analysis of various classes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is profound and precise, restoring the complex face of history. Limitations: 1. Preaching: involves ideological changes and the direct implantation of modern political terms. 2. Rhythm control: The rhythm in the middle part is sometimes a little draggy. 3. Language style: The mixture of ancient and modern languages ​​may affect the immersion of some readers. But these do not shake the fundamental value of the work. It is a novel with a soul, and its soul is the questioning of the "original intention", the belief in the "people", and the reshaping of "history". 6. Conclusion: A message to the forerunners Before Zhang Jiao died, he asked Qi Run: "What will future generations think of us?" Qi Run told him with tears in his eyes: Future generations will describe you as rebels, cults, and bandits. Those who defeat you will be portrayed as heroes, and your names will be written in the history books of defamation. But - "There will be many people in future generations who will inherit your beliefs. There will be many people who will have responsibilities to the people of the world because of you. There will be many people who will raise the flag to resist injustice because of you. There will be many people who will be inspired to resist oppression because of you. The courts in future generations will also reduce taxes and lighten corvee because of you - but that is not because of their conscience, but because you have been here, you have fought, and you have fought hard!" Zhang Jiao laughed with relief. At that moment, two thousand years of suffering and struggle condensed into a sigh and then turned into a ray of light. This is "Cangtian is dead, fight!" "The ultimate meaning of ": It is a message to the forerunners. It tells all stigmatized revolutionaries: Your road was not in vain. Your blood was not shed in vain. Your cause will eventually be completed by the people's hands two thousand years later. The people will win - not because history will be on their side, but because they will use their own blood and lives to turn history to their side. This is a work destined to be niche, but destined to be immortal. It is not written for readers looking for a "feeling of pleasure", but for those who are willing to stop and think about what the "original intention" is, how the "people" exist, and how "victory" is achieved in the long river of history. If you are such a person, then this book is worth reading.
