No matter how good Young Master Zhang, the top scholar Zhang, may be, there will always be narrow-minded, twisted, ill-intentioned, ill-mannered petty rats who slander and defame him at every turn. At the very least, not a single Jurchen or bondservant can stand the sight of Young Master Zhang. Why? Because our Yo 0Votes158.8kRecs215kFans

Curator note

In short, Young Master Zhang is indeed a very rare and good person, a true gentleman, and definitely a moral exemplar of the Ming Dynasty! Of course, only mediocre people are not envied. No matter how good Zhang Da Shao Ye and Zhang Da Tan Hua are, there will always be a group of narrow-minded, psychologically abnormal, scheming, and ill-mannered scoundrels who will slander and defame him in every way. At least none of the Jurchens and bondservants can stand Zhang Da Shao Ye. Why? Because our young master Zhang single-handedly ruined the Qing Dynasty's conquest of the Central Plains! He blatantly destroyed the Kangxi and Qianlong era of prosperity! He viciously destroyed the twelve Qing emperors who were so lavishly praised by their bondservants!
