The History of Hou Yinglong: the Chronicle of Sejong

Machiavellian strategy + fantasy + first-person perspective of the emperor + independent world view + fictional history + three wives and four concubines + refreshing but not boring In the 124th year of Longyuan, Ying Taizong died, and fourteen-year-old Geng Qianwen ascended the throne. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground, and those who knelt were not the new emperor, but the three assistant ministers - Gu Chongming, the Secretary of Civil Affairs, Liu Boyong, the Chief of the Policy Department, and Wen Yuanfu, the Chief of the Executive Department. They reviewed the papers for him, determined his year, and locked the word "Tongtian" on the desk in the side hall for him. No one took the young emperor seriously. Military general Duke Rang supported his troops on the southern front and paid his dues directly to the assistant minister, bypassing the imperial court. Han Rong of Wumen Division entered and exited the military tent as a civilian official, standing in line and attracting the attention of the whole court. Above the court, powerful ministers and powerful generals are testing each other across a wall; in the four regions of the north and south, unharvested soil hangs on the edge of the territory, like four knives that have not fallen to the ground. Geng Qianwen knelt at the front of the mourning hall. From the time Taizong died until he ascended the throne in front of the mourning hall, she never shed a single tear. At night, he closed the door of his dormitory, took out the ready-made seal paper from the secret compartment of the bookshelf, and drew the symbols stroke by stroke under the oil lamp. The Golden Soul Sect is the bright side, and the Lei Soul Sect is the trump card. The attack technique is the killing move that he performs alone behind closed doors, and the dragon transformation stage is the dragon gate calamity that he hangs in front of him. He was waiting - waiting for his body to mature, for the Central Army to take shape, and for those who thought he was a puppet to reveal their first flaw. In the first year of Tongtian, spring. An emperor who pretends to be an erroneous person, a dynasty that is struggling with foreign aggression, and a transformation from a boy to an emperor. Geng Qianwen is not a peerless genius, he just sees through people's hearts and hides his minions. The north and south are not yet unified, and the mountains and rivers need to be reorganized. The historian writes, and the official history is written.
