My bookshelf already has "Wanli Xinming" and "Wanli Youming," and now I have "Wanli Qiangming." I wonder if it can be written better than the other two.
Feng Bao was the weakest link in the iron triangle; to seize power, he had to be eliminated first. Even if he were entrusted with the care of the young emperor, he would still be nothing more than a servant, a spy for both inside and outside the court. What was he thinking, communicating with both sides to monitor the emperor? Loyalty that wasn't absolute was absolutely disloyal.
I actually think this way of writing is quite good. Power struggles are never instantaneous. It's not like a dynastic change or the founding of a new dynasty; how could you do whatever you want without any constraints? A writer about emperors who can't depict palace intrigue and power struggles isn't considered competent!
The Ming Dynasty was beyond saving. Zhu Yuanzhang's plan was to have the entire nation support the descendants of the Zhu family and scholars with official titles. As the number of Zhu family descendants and palace maids and eunuchs increased in the later stages, scholars formed powerful families, the country went bankrupt, and the people starved to death. How could it be saved?
We've reached chapter 117 so far, and Nurhaci has become a eunuch and entered the palace! This book is also known as "My Father-in-Law is Nurhaci" 🤪🤪🤪
The best way to time-travel to the Wanli Emperor's era is to wait until he assumes full power and Zhang Juzheng dies. At that time, Wanli will only be in his early twenties, with plenty of time. Then, he can cleanse the harem, gain control of the imperial guards, and continue Zhang Juzheng's policies.
The author seems to genuinely believe that the deaths of the Ming emperors were all caused by conspiracies and intrigues.
He's really not as good as the Wanli Emperor next to him; at least the Wanli Emperor knew that grain was the foundation of the nation.
I read dozens of chapters and felt nothing. Writing it like this, even if you killed Zhang Juzheng in ten years, it would still take ten million words. He was an emperor, in his forties, with mature thinking and insight, and his path to power was written like a conspiracy. The ministers were taking advantage of his incomplete thinking and rambling, not his age. Was there really a puppet emperor? He was just an emperor who didn't know how to act, and his court sessions were just empty talk.
If Emperor Wanli was truly so aggrieved and died with resentment, I'd be truly impressed. If he died with resentment, how many emperors would be devastated?
