I'm here because of Zhu Houzhao. An emperor who knew how to bypass the harem and cut off internal and external connections through the Leopard Garden, seizing military power by bestowing upon himself the title of Grand General. He allowed the Prince of Ning to rebel, intending to suppress the powerful figures in Jiangnan.
The author is probably a young novice, only knowing about the Empress Dowager but unaware of the terrifying power of the Grand Empress Dowager, and thus describing a group of people who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun as having ulterior motives.
Whether or not they attend court is irrelevant. People review memorials and attend court, but it's not really about getting things done, nor can it get anything done.
I haven't read the details, but is he serious about this summary? The Empress Dowager murdered a pregnant concubine—what does that mean? Does she think she can live forever, or does she think news from the palace won't get out? Everyone knows that news travels fastest inside the palace; even without wind, waves can rise three feet high.
Making money? Competing with the people for profit, you know! How can you limit imperial power if the emperor is rich? He must fall into the water!!
Imperial power has always been the most unsolvable problem. It's ridiculous to portray the emperor as weak and incompetent to highlight the power of the civil officials.
The three Grand Secretaries, Liu, Li, and Xie, all held real power; they weren't just paper tigers. Hey, without the protagonist's father, could the Ming Dynasty have fallen? He relinquished all power, even military control. Hongzhi was utterly abstract, a complete idiot.
The protagonist, the emperor, addresses the empress dowager as his subject; with this level of skill, why even bother writing history?
See Chapter Twelve Wow, you're something else. Before, you were citing all sorts of data and logic, making it seem like you were writing a well-researched and realistic online novel. Now, with dozens of people protecting you, some random nobody is barging up next to the emperor asking for a seat. What's the difference between this and those ridiculous Hong Kong martial arts movies?
Saying it's about balancing the power of eunuchs and civil officials
Seeing this sentence from the author is disheartening. The author mentioned in the book review that they wanted to balance the story and avoid including Tang Dynasty eunuch plots. I can completely give up now. They don't even understand why Han and Tang Dynasty eunuchs were powerful enough to depose and install emperors; this book is doomed. Seriously, they might as well have given the protagonist a cheat code. Did they just use AI to look up information and paste it directly?
