During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Shen's Mansion in Luzhou, Prince Shen's second son, Zhu Quanjun, the Prince of Lingchuan County, died tragically in the family temple for no apparent reason. The finger pointed directly at Prince Shen's eldest son Zhu Quanzheng, and the whole palace was panicked. At this time, 17-year-old Chen Qing went to serve in the Prince's Mansion and became a guard. By coincidence, he met the son of the county prince and fell in love with the daughter of the county prince. He was promoted from a corvee to a sixth-grade military attaché in the palace. However, he also fell into the conspiracy of a palace fight and embarked on a road of no return...
Inside the palace, there is a lot of fog, with constant overt and covert fighting; outside the palace, the Ming Dynasty's national power is getting stronger and business is becoming more and more prosperous. A generation of Shanxi merchants came out of Luzhou, taking the opportunity of opening up China and France, using salt, iron, silk and hemp as commodities, selling goods all over the world, and quickly rose to become the leading merchant gang in the Ming Dynasty...
What is the Ming Dynasty, what is China, what is ancient China, and what is the Chinese character? The sun and moon shine upon me, and I am the Ming Dynasty. My blood rushes to create China. The fall of the Ming Dynasty was not the fall of a dynasty, but the fall of an era.
"The Storm in Lu Mansion" is set in Luzhou, Shanxi, the birthplace of Shanxi merchants in the Ming Dynasty. It uses official history as a reference and implants a real history of the Ming Dynasty into millions of words through real historical stories. The author of the novel spent 10 years, reading through more than 50 novels written by Ming Dynasties, diving into major academic forums, studying a large number of historical materials, and using a combination of fiction and reality to fully restore the life of the Ming Dynasty in the novel and at the same time solve the mystery of the death of the Ming Dynasty.
