I Rule My Ming Dynasty

Are you taking too big a step? Aren't you afraid of inciting a nationwide rebellion by throwing out a whole bunch of policies one after another? All the vested interests in the country are pushing for a new emperor. How many troops do you have? Are those border guard leaders willing to suffer losses and add shackles to themselves just to remain loyal to you? Why?

Advantages: Finally, a book depicts the power of the emperor. Other books excessively restrict the emperor's power, constantly showing him being hampered and restricted by various factors. Empress Dowager Cixi, a woman, signed so many unequal treaties, yet she still firmly held onto power until her death.

The Palace Transfer Case, upon closer examination, seems to be completely unfounded. Neither Consort Wan nor Consort Li had the conditions to rule from behind the curtain. Most importantly, what scholar would forcibly seize the emperor? It was clearly a power struggle. Doesn't this give you a strong sense of déjà vu with Dong Zhuo?

If it were so well-written, wouldn't it have been featured on the Sanjiang Literature City website?

I specifically read the second chapter, and it was rather disappointing. The Ming Dynasty didn't have a tradition of empresses interfering in politics, yet during the Donglin Party's coup, a powerless woman dared to interfere? It was nothing more than a fig leaf for the Donglin Party, like that tube of laundry detergent at the United Nations.

Many policies have a time cost and require time. If reforms could be rushed in just a few months, then there would be no reforms in thousands of years of history. Do you really think the ancients were fools? Those who can become officials are smarter than many people, especially when it comes to ideological agreement. Sometimes it takes decades for an ideology to gain acceptance. As for the mind, even the Qin Emperor's theory of unification took decades to gain acceptance.

The handwriting is clearly messed up. The problem is: I don't know where it went wrong... Those who have seen a lot, please give me some feedback.

This is just my personal opinion; please don't criticize if you disagree, just pretend you didn't see it. An emperor can't handle everything himself. Which truly powerful emperor directly confronted his ministers? He always sent eunuchs and a few ministers from his own faction. If the emperor did it himself, there would be no room for negotiation. Furthermore, one should not show one's emotions.

To put it simply, the Ming Dynasty history that is severely vilified is almost entirely of above-average quality, while those that are praised are portrayed as naive and gullible. The civil service group supported imperial power but also engaged in defamation and even sought to weaken it more than anyone else. Those who are praised are all those who committed countless acts of utter devastation.

Without a powerful, extraordinary cheat code, your hasty reforms will likely land you in the ICU the very next day.
