明代的宦官和宫廷
Wen Gongyi
From Hongwu's magnificent founding of the country to Chongzhen's desperate suicide, the Ming Dynasty went through 16 emperors and lasted for 276 years. It was both prosperous and absurd, and glorious and turbulent. When it is prosperous, it will spread its power overseas, and all nations will come to court; when it is chaotic, refugees will spread everywhere, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Why did a huge country go from dominating the world and becoming powerful to being riddled with holes and crumbling? What happened in the middle? Who hindered the Ming Dynasty's repeated signs of resurgence? Behind the turbulent current situation, how many games of power and people's hearts are hidden? The famous historical scholar Wen Gongyi used the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty as the main line to describe in detail important events such as the "Tumu Fort Incident", "Seizing the Gate" and "Grand Meeting", as well as the three suspicious cases of "Strike", "Hongwan" and "Relocation of the Palace". It vividly depicts the capricious emperor's mind, the cruel and dark power struggle and the bizarre officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. The author's arguments are fair and credible, his writing style is easy to understand, and his wording is rigorous but not difficult. Through the struggle between the government and the public and the palace life in the Ming Dynasty, you can understand the various ills of the Ming Empire and the root causes of its prosperity and decline in one book.
