The Lonely Dreamweaver
Illness has left my frail body bent, my gauze cap hanging loose; a lonely minister, I wander thousands of miles along the riverbank. Though my station is humble, I dare not forget my country's troubles; when all is settled, I must wait until my coffin is closed. May the spirits of heaven and earth protect our ancestral shrines; the elders of the capital await the emperor's return.
Dreaming Back to the Ends of the Earth: A Historical Fiction Recommendation Hub
🌟 This list is really more of a bookmark folder. Every book here is one I plan to read, am currently reading, or have already finished. I wouldn't include any books I don't want to read myself. There are also some books I haven't recommended individually, only mentioned in the descriptions of other books. That doesn't mean they're bad. I just don't think they need a separate recommendation. They're either too well known, similar in style to the books I recommend, or written by the same author. S

👍👍👍That's great. I hope he'll be more assertive when he grows up. Historically, it feels like he was led by the nose by civil officials. Zhu Houzhao wanted to seize military power but died mysteriously.
This book is awkward to read.
After reading thirty chapters, I felt increasingly awkward. To this day, we still don't know what state the protagonist is in. Is it a modern person's soul transmigrating? Or is it the Hongzhi Emperor being reborn after death? Or perhaps it's another emperor who died and then transmigrated and possessed the body?
Based on his actions, I really don't recommend writing about Emperor Xiaozong in this way; it's not a good portrayal. Military achievements were decadent, and civil officials were corrupt. His successors didn't even have a chance to resist. Alas, if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di saw these emperors of the Ming Dynasty, they'd probably rise from their dead in anger. He was filial to civil officials and landlords, but not so friendly to military officers.
Emperor Xiaozong of Ming, Zhu Youcheng, was the ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the son of Zhu Jianshen, and the grandson of the war god of Tumu Fortress. He ascended the throne at the age of 17 and died at the age of 36, reigning for 18 years.
The Ming Dynasty's decline actually began with Emperor Hongzhi (Xiaozong). He allowed the civil service to expand unchecked, leading to lax governance, rampant corruption among imperial relatives, and rampant land grabbing. The emperor himself led the expansion of imperial estates, with civil and military officials following suit.
Writing about indigenous people in historical fiction... Sigh, they won't even know how they died. Especially writing about emperors, history books have already settled everything, so there's no point in writing about them anymore...
The historical Emperor Xiaozong was misled and was incomparable to his father, Emperor Chenghua. The Qing dynasty smeared Emperor Chenghua far too much.
Having grown accustomed to formulaic writing, I'm still not quite used to this kind of unpretentious, high-quality article. 😭
Emperor Xiaozong was mild-mannered, even weak-willed. This was all due to the fact that he had been raised in the deep palace since childhood by the jealous and gossipy Zhou, who kept him under her arm and listened to her constant nagging. He was afraid of his wife and afraid of arguing with his ministers. Working under such a boss was the most comfortable thing imaginable.
A temple name established for benevolence and filial piety, coupled with a good reputation among scholars, speaks volumes about how well one has performed.
