Great Ming: Brother, You’ve Ruined Me

Whether there was a conspiracy at Tumu Fortress is now impossible to verify. Personally, I believe it was an out-of-control outcome. The emperor wanted a great victory to consolidate his rule, while others wanted a crushing defeat to undermine imperial power. Ultimately, the situation spiraled out of control, nearly destroying the Ming Dynasty. I personally enjoy historical stories.

Open the map and see how far it is from Beijing. The emperor was framed and lost his military power. Who benefited and who is a suspect? Will the time traveler be killed later? It is me who ensures my own safety, holds absolute power, and wins over some while killing others. After several cycles, I wipe them all out.

This author is incredibly padding the story. From the time of his ascension to the 90th chapter to the release date, the emperor still hasn't arrived. 90 Chapters! Most authors would have already built up their nation and were fighting others by then, but this one is still waiting for others to attack. So this author is no ordinary padding author...

Let's not overhype Yu Qian. It seems he seized power during the imperial transition, consolidating military authority in the Ministry of War and placing it under the control of civil officials. The defense of Beijing didn't seem that impressive. How many talented soldiers came from the grasslands? And Beijing wasn't easy to capture; they retreated after gaining nothing. Yu Qian has been overhyped.

It's very simple logic. If someone had the ability to orchestrate such a massive conspiracy, they wouldn't need to do this to achieve their goal. People who subscribe to the Tumu Fortress conspiracy theory are more likely to find Nirvana in Fire enjoyable.

It's so awkward to read. He has absolutely no real power, yet he's provoking the Empress Dowager. He's just holding the title of Regent, but there's no one he can trust in the court. Nobody truly sides with him. It's written like a child.

With so few comments, I didn't click in immediately; it's rare that I've managed to read through them.

Speechless. The protagonist started out like a clown, jumping around like that. The court officials were probably speechless too, thinking he was crazy for wanting to be emperor.

It's a waste of time. They haven't learned any of the essence of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Chengzu. They've already become regents. They should have found two trustworthy generals who wanted to claim credit for the new emperor, surrounded the palace in the middle of the night, killed the Empress Dowager and her associates, and everything would have been fine. At that point, the emperor would be in the enemy camp, and since they're regents, only they can ascend the throne.

What a load of bull! Emperor Jingtai has only been on the throne for a few days. Empress Dowager Sun, on the other hand, held power for over a decade under Emperor Zhengtong. Everyone, from top to bottom, was her man. Did Jingtai really think he had everyone's support? Of course not. Personnel power, financial power, decision-making power—which of these could Emperor Jingtai possibly control? The palace was like a sieve.
