My reading journey
Love Qid&33728662
Rain! My longing is bound up with you. Let it be you who leads me to seek out your world! I need no reason, have no goal; I only want to preserve a corner of my memories. Outside the window, the scene repeats itself once more. The wind stirs the branches and blows the leaves from them, then the rain beats them down onto the earth. And there they wait for the moment they finally decay. Listening to the rain outside, drip, drip, its sound drifts into my heart, leaving my thoughts beyond my control

The struggle for the throne among the nine princes feels like a joke. There was no rebellion, no coup, just mutual slander and attempts to curry favor with their father. I've searched through history and never seen such a pathetic succession struggle. A true succession struggle should have involved Hu Hai forging an imperial edict, Li Shimin launching the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and Zhu Di raising an army to quell the rebellion. What kind of skill is this slander?
The Manchu lords will lead us to revive China! Go for it! ✊😰
Haha, I think it should be called "Nine Dogs Fighting for Food"
What "Nine Dragons Standing Up" and "Ten Dragons Struggling for the Throne"? Pah! Just thinking about it makes me sick.
Why not be a decent person? Why choose to be a lackey?
This book should be changed to "Ten Dogs Fighting Over Poop," not "Ten Dragons." Dragons my foot! It should be about an old dog dying and pooping, with ten puppies fighting over it. Dragons? What is a dragon? It is a snake or fish that transforms into a dragon by defying the heavens. It is the determination to take what is denied by heaven. Dragons rely on pleasing others and tattling on each other. They are dogs!
As the saying goes, "Wearing Qing clothes doesn't mean you'll rebel" 🤫...
All I know is that during the Qing Dynasty, people didn't rebel, and the chrysanthemum was covered in electric drill.
Putting aside the fact that the Qing Dynasty was founded by the Manchus, its emperors were indeed quite capable, which is related to their method of selecting the throne.
They felt like a bunch of clowns; military power and money were all in Kang Youwei's hands. Kang Youwei was just watching these nine clowns having their own fun.
