Ming Historians Dared to Write Anything? Just Want to Go Home

Su Chengze, the second generation of rich people, accidentally traveled through time and became a candidate for the imperial examination during the Hongwu period. He knew how difficult it was to make a living during the Hongwu period, and he wanted to return to Earth. And he learned that he could only return to modern times if he was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang's order. So, Su Chengze wrote on the test paper with a big stroke of his pen, "Acquisition of officials through the imperial examination will harm the country and the people", and he wanted to die. But contrary to expectations, he did not die... Seeing that Su Chengze was so brave and unafraid of death, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you are so unafraid of death, you should become an upright historian." Unexpectedly, since he became a historian, Su Chengze began to hold on to Zhu Yuanzhang's "little pigtail" every day. Zhu Yuanzhang felt tired and asked the beautiful maid next to him to squeeze his shoulders. Su Chengze held a small notebook and muttered while writing: "The emperor ignores government affairs and is obsessed with women..." Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the advice of his ministers and insisted on enfeoffing the princes to various parts of the country. Su Chengze took the small notebook again and read while writing: "The emperor is ignorant and stubborn, ignoring the lessons of history, laying hidden dangers for the future..." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes twitched as he gritted his teeth secretly: "This historian is really not afraid of death!"
