Power Over the North and South

The strict imperial examination system was the nemesis of aristocratic families, and the equally strict university entrance and exit system was the nemesis of interest groups. Because a strict promotion system can provide a pathway and open doors for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and provide fresh blood for group management.

For an emperor to personally lead the troops to the front lines when the battle is already going well—what kind of spirit is that? Are tens of thousands of soldiers supposed to fight the enemy with all their might, or are they going to be distracted by caring for you? Becoming a burden to your subordinates just to show off is a truly fatal flaw.

I think all claims about gender equality in ancient times are nonsense. As for having female nursing teams in ancient times, that's even more utter rubbish. Aristocratic ladies and imperial concubines as nurses? What about the reputation of these noblewomen? Even battlefield nurses in modern times are questioned, let alone in ancient times?

Many people may be interested in the history of the late Northern and Southern Dynasties, but few know much about it. Therefore, I will post some popular science and analytical articles that I wrote for the public account in the "related to the book" section. This can also be considered a supplement to the book's section on Beijing.

First line: A trip to the capital city, full of trials and tribulations, yielded good results. The second line reads: "The path to boasting of achievements is fraught with twists and turns, revealing the true nature of people." Horizontal scroll: A close call

With so many harem novels out there, it's really hard for female readers to find a good historical story. So, I recommend "A Humorous Take on Qin Officials" to readers who, like me, enjoy historical fiction. The author's grasp of history is quite good, and there aren't any unacceptable plot devices like cheat codes. In fact, the cheat codes are just right.

Sigh, maybe my standards for historical novels are too high these days. It's been a long time since I've found one that I like. I read a dozen chapters of this one, but it's not my cup of tea. I've been reading novels for over ten years, and I've read no fewer than a thousand historical ones. Very few of them are truly good. "Ten Kingdoms and a Thousand Beauties," "The Superior Scholar," "I Am King in the Spring and Autumn Period," and "Heroes of the Late Qing Dynasty" are all gone.

The prologue was a plea for retreat; forty-nine million cavalrymen—that's more than the entire population of China at the time.

The implementation of the imperial examination system didn't trigger a major backlash from aristocratic families, as you might imagine. At most, it increased the number of officials from humble backgrounds in the court. However, the majority still came from aristocratic families. This was simply due to their advantage in educational resources.

For an author with over 8 million words to produce such results proves this book is extremely bad.
