This is a "Werewolf" about power and human nature - for three hundred years, the smartest people in the Forbidden City played with people and were played by them.
Do you think the emperor is the master of power? Wrong. Not many people who sat on the dragon chair in the Forbidden City died happily - Nurhaci's brother killed his son in prison, Huang Taiji died suddenly without a will, Shunzhi became a monk for love, Kangxi watched his sons hack each other in his later years, Yongzheng died of exhaustion on the document, Qianlong thought he was perfect but was killed and Shen played for twenty years. After Jiaqing killed He Shen, he found that the treasury was still empty. Daoguang wore a patchwork dragon robe and signed the "Treaty of Nanjing".
But little people also have their own ways of living - old man Li from Jingxing taught Kangxi that "hungry is the best cook" with a bowl of pimple rice; Cheng Huaixiu, the leader of the Salt Gang, told Qianlong that "some feelings are more important than country and country" by turning away; and the daughter of a farmer in Lintao exchanged a wedding dress for the life philosophy of "throwing grain when hungry and eating chaff when full of meat".
This book breaks down three hundred years of Qing Dynasty history and tells it to you - no pretense of depth or mystery, only the bloody calculations in the power arena, the hot hearts, and the cold ending. You will find: It turns out that history can be so interesting, and it turns out that the ancients are no different from us.
Power is a trap, who knows who jumps. For three hundred years, no one who jumped in could climb out.
Purpose: Learn from history.
