Jianwen's Journey to the West and the Hidden Dream of the Dragon

In the 31st year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang died, and the 21-year-old grandson Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne and changed the name to Jianwen of the Yuan Dynasty. He cherished the ideal of benevolent government, reduced taxes, lenient sentences and saved prisons, and vowed to create a Qingming Dynasty that was different from the iron-blooded rule of his grandfather. However, when he raised his vassal-cutting sword and aimed it at his fourth uncle, King Yan Zhu Di, who was in Peiping - Ideals are finally crushed by machinations! The fire of King Xiang's self-immolation burned through the lies of benevolent government, and the cavalry of King Yan's army crushed the dream of prosperity. After four years of bloody battles in Jingnan, on the night when Nanjing was destroyed, was Emperor Jianwen buried in a sea of ​​fire, or did he remain anonymous? He took off his dragon robe and walked around the rivers and lakes in civilian clothes. He traveled long distances, first south and then west, struggling to survive in the cracks of desperate situations. With extraordinary perseverance, he united with his old ministers, integrated border forces, and tried to carve out a road to restore the country among the mountains and rivers. This journey to the west is not only a geographical twists and turns, but also a fateful ups and downs. He witnessed the suffering of the people and the war at the border, and his state of mind gradually changed. He grew from a down-and-out emperor who was bent on restoration to a lone brave man who saw through the desire for power and cared about the world. In the end, Zhu Yunwen quietly retreated into seclusion in the secret land of the southwest, leaving behind the eternal legend of the hidden mountains and rivers of the dragon. He also laid a mysterious hidden clue to protect his family and country for the Ming Dynasty, waiting for future generations to explore.
