Jingtai: Making the Ming Great Again

After all this time travel, hasn't the protagonist cultivated any of his own personnel? Relying entirely on Yu Qian? I'm speechless! Does the protagonist really trust Yu Qian that much? Does he really believe historical records that much? Here's a line from the TV series "Ming Dynasty" for the protagonist: "Any promises made to you by anyone else don't count; only what you can decide for yourself matters!"

Before the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was not addressed as "Huangshang" (). During the Song Dynasty, he was often called "Guanjia" (), and in other dynasties, he was usually addressed as "Bixia" (). Starting in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was occasionally addressed as "Huangshang," but most of the time he was addressed as "Bixia.

Brother, aren't you afraid that after Yu Shaobao finishes the war, he'll hand over military power to the Ministry of War instead of the Five Military Commissions?

Yu Qian was the representative of the Southerners; he was a completely upright person.

I really don't understand why anyone would write a novel like this. They've watched too much of *Ming Dynasty*. This guy is utterly useless. He's afraid to kill this, afraid to kill that, and even has to beg for favors to appoint a crown prince. He's the epitome of utter uselessness. In the end, he can't protect anything, not even his own life.

If a time traveler were to become Emperor Jingtai and still dream of reforming under Yu Qian, they'd be indulging in wishful thinking. The historical Yu Qian was completely different from the figures depicted in historical records. He was a sycophant of the civil service and official class, seizing military power from the emperor.

An emperor who actually trusted Yu Qian would, once his power was consolidated, immediately send Empress Dowager Sun and Yu Qian to their deaths. There are plenty of talented people out there; it just depends on whether the emperor has the courage and ability to recognize them. Where do treacherous officials come from? If the emperor calls you a treacherous official, even if you are loyal, you can only be considered a treacherous official.

I read the author's comments section; there were some negative ones. To be fair, this book is currently at a mid-to-high level among historical fiction on Qidian.com. Let's give the author some time and offer more encouragement.

Another theory suggests that the civil officials were severely oppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji, but were powerless to do anything about it. The young emperor, wanting to consolidate power, orchestrated a personal military campaign, summoning all the heads of civil and military departments to the capital, hoping to establish his authority.

How could you implement the new policies if Empress Dowager Sun hadn't died? How could the old officials have obeyed the new emperor if Empress Dowager Sun hadn't died? Zhu Qizhen would have been brought back sooner or later if Empress Dowager Sun hadn't died. He endured 20 years of hardship and bided his time without any planning whatsoever. The author is just an idiot.
