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

👍👍👍 It's great. I hope I will be tougher when I grow up. Historically, I felt like I was being led by the civil servants. Zhu Houzhao wanted to take the military power but died inexplicably.
This book is awkward for people to read
After reading thirty chapters, I felt more and more awkward. I still don't know what state the protagonist is in. Is it the soul of modern people? Or was Emperor Hongzhi reborn after his death? Or maybe they were possessed by other emperors through time and space after their death. Not sure about this, this book is unreadable for readers who know the specific deeds of Emperor Xiaozong. For example, the eunuch Zhang Min is well written. Zhang Min obviously committed suicide after Emperor Xiaozong was established as the prince. According to the author, Xiaozong died just after he was born. Moreover, Xiaozong was always raised in the palace and was also sent outside the palace for no reason. It stands to reason that the protagonist did nothing. History should run on a normal track and there will be no variables. This seems to be a romance, but in romance novels small things can be changed, but major things remain unchanged. I already know who Emperor Hongzhi will marry in the future, how many children he will have, and he died eighteen years after he ascended the throne. So what motivation does I have to continue looking forward?
From the perspective of what he did, I really don't recommend writing about Xiaozong. It's not a big deal. Wu Xun was decadent and civil servants were greedy. The successors didn't even have a chance to resist. Alas, in the past few terms of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di would probably have died in anger. He was filial to the civil servants and landlords, but not friendly to Wu Xun🤫🤫.
Zhu Youtang, Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, was the ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the son of Zhu Jianshen, and the grandson of the God of War in Tumubao. He ascended the throne at the age of 17, died at the age of 36, and reigned for 18 years. During his reign, he was politically clear and open-minded, expelled traitors, and worked hard to govern. He was known as "Hongzhi Zhongxing" in history. He was a virtuous emperor comparable to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Renzong of the Song Dynasty. The author added a time-travel plot, among other things, at least to increase the life span of Lao Zhu, not to mention that Qianlong lived to 89 years old, at least to 69 years old. In this way, Lao Zhu had enough time to reform and change the Ming Dynasty. The deep palace is not suitable to live in. The palace walls are poisonous. Learn from Jiajing and move to a separate garden, or learn from Qianlong's health regimen. It would be better to add some plot of martial arts training, physical fitness, and means of self-protection. Reform will definitely offend a large number of people. Think about the Ming Dynasty Zhengde and Tianqi fell into the water and died, and Jiajing was almost strangled to death by a palace maid. The security of the palace is simply a sieve. Therefore, the protagonist needs to practice martial arts, not only to become a master, but at least to be able to hold on until the guards come to his rescue when attacked. Finally, there is the writing perspective, which is written from the perspective of a family of ordinary people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty who were hungry and poorly clothed. It describes that through reforms, this family can eat and wear clothes, and their children have a future. They wholeheartedly support the New Deal and the emperor. From the perspective of a family of stubborn gentry, it is written about how the reform harmed their interests. They resisted the government and the law. In the end, the gentry family fell and their descendants lived on the streets. They were able to revive again by supporting the New Deal. Through such a side perspective, the little characters in this book are brought to life, each one is lifelike, and the author also makes the book a god.
The Ming Dynasty actually began to decline from the time of Emperor Xiaozong and Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty. The civil servant group was allowed to expand indefinitely, official governance was lax, and the emperor's relatives acted recklessly and encroached on land wantonly. The emperor took the lead in expanding the imperial estates, followed by civilian officials and military generals. Weakened military preparedness, abandoned Loops, and allowed the powerful to sabotage the Kainzhong method of transporting grain to the nine borders in exchange for salt. This led to the decline of border defense and severely damaged the Ming Dynasty that Xianzong, his father, had finally managed to clean up. Just because he allowed civil servants to become powerful, and then he became a virtuous king in history? Instead, his father, Ming Xianzong, became a villain? Hehe
Historical writings about indigenous people... Well, I don't even know how to die. Especially when it comes to writing about emperors, the history books are all finalized and there is no interest in writing...
In history, Xiaozong was deceived and became lame. He was no better than his father Chenghua. The Manchus poured too much dirty water on Chenghua.
I have been used to routines, but looking back at this kind of unconventional and conscientious writing, I still haven't gotten used to it. 😭
Emperor Xiaozong had a gentle personality, which could even be said to be weak. This was all caused by being raised in a deep palace by Zhou's jealous and talkative woman since childhood, and listening to her random thoughts under his arm. Afraid of his wife, afraid of getting embarrassed with his courtiers. Such a boss would be the most comfortable to work for. There is really nothing to show for his impressive political achievements. On the contrary, his gentle temper allowed the expansion of the gentry group. His father had a bad reputation, but he was really good. It was his father who wiped Yingzong's bastard's ass, and it was extremely clean.
If you can establish a temple with benevolence and filial piety and have a good reputation among literati, you will know how well you are doing.
