Reborn as the Literary Patriarch of the Great Ming

Too many conflicts have been created... It would be better to focus on studying hard and passing the imperial examinations, getting that degree first. Then, when you want to do something else, there will definitely be plenty of conflicts to write about. Right now, it's all tasteless and uninteresting.

To put it bluntly, even if you went back to the later stages of a dynasty and started an independent rebellion to spread your own ideas, it would be better than staying within the dynasty. The spirit and ideology of rebellion are more likely to survive.

If you want to write a good story, don't torture the protagonist. If you want to show off, don't force it. This is a historical novel; can you please not write it so awkwardly? This book is ruined.

You were born during the Jiajing era, after Zhang Juzheng, so you must be at least fifty or sixty years old now.

They're trying to prolong the Zhu family's life? Wouldn't that mean establishing a constitutional monarchy, effectively sidelining the emperor, and having a cabinet govern?

As long as the book isn't abandoned and updates are done regularly, I'll definitely support it to the end. Looking at the author's publishing history, I'm worried and afraid. I'm just afraid it'll be gone the next day.

I thought it was the temple name Wenzong, like Emperor Xianfeng. Who knew that Wenzong meant a master of literature?

The feudal system, the nobility system, and the civil service system established by Zhu Yuanzhang (the Hongwu Emperor) had already set a death sentence for the Ming Dynasty. Without Zhang Juzheng, it would likely have lasted just over two hundred years. To attempt reforms without overthrowing them is like painting on clouds—a pipe dream.

Throughout history, have any dynasties successfully implemented reforms and continued their rule during their later stages? Only revolution dares to bring about a new era! So-called reforms are merely patching things up!

I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend my new book, *Bianxia*. Set against the backdrop of the late Northern Song Dynasty, it tells the story of Zhao Zhen, a man from the future, who travels back in time to the Jingkang era of the Northern Song Dynasty. His soul enters the body of Zhao Zhen, the eighteenth son of Emperor Huizong of Song.
