The Chongzhen Emperor's First Powerful Minister

I have been reading at Qidian for eight or nine years, and I don't know when a crazy whitewashing trend started in the Internet literary world. As long as it is denied in official history, it must be overturned. For example, those of King Zhou, Liu Chan, Qin Hui, etc., Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, the Wei eunuch became powerful like this. Haven't you noticed a paradox?

This is a reflection I had after reading the prologue of Volume Two. Now that the Ming Dynasty has fallen, is it meaningful to discuss the Donglin faction? It cannot be denied that the Donglin faction played a role in the Ming Dynasty's demise, and from this perspective, they were not innocent. In today's terms, they would be targets that must be suppressed. Was the Donglin faction innocent? No.

I don't deny that the eunuch faction was no good either, and Wei Zhongxian was an even bigger bastard. But no matter how bad the eunuch faction was, they still had some bottom line and wouldn't joke around with matters of national importance.

Regardless of whether the protagonist is a rebel or not, let's just say that Emperor Chongzhen was a suspicious, heartless, and irresponsible ruler! During his seventeen-year reign, Chongzhen replaced eleven Ministers of Justice and fourteen Ministers of War, executed seven governors-general, killed eleven provincial governors, and forced one to commit suicide.

Damn, this is giving me a real headache. It's only been a few chapters, and one stunningly beautiful woman after another is appearing like rabbits in a field, and they all fall head over heels for the protagonist. Author, have you never seen a woman before? 🤔 I'm starting to wonder if I'm reading a historical novel. And did you time-travel from the early 2000s? What's with this "this man is so handsome" stuff? It's disgusting!

I've already cast a monthly pass, can I make this post a featured post? This book is really good. I've only read two alternate history books so far, and I read this one every day. I wonder when Emperor Chongzhen will finally step down! Another book I read, "Give the Qin Dynasty a Helping Hand," describes how the Qin Dynasty was unified and India was destroyed.

Emperor: Come, come, my dear minister, you are so capable, I'll let you do the job of being emperor too.

This is a biased interpretation. It's not that Wei Zhongxian was a good person, but he would never have killed the Tianqi Emperor; the Tianqi Emperor was the foundation of his power. The Donglin Party members weren't all bad; the Donglin Party itself had many factions. Such a distorted portrayal is meaningless.

Next, please arrange for immigrants who suffer from acclimatization problems, illness, or death.

I think the commenter is acting neurotically, labeling anyone who disagrees as a "castrated man's fan" and treating the historical records they found as absolute truth. But many of the historical records posted by the authors seem too fake and unreliable; they're simply not convincing.
