Great Ming, 1582

The reforms were initiated by Gao Gong, while Zhang Juzheng was extravagant, arrogant, and showed no respect for the Wanli Emperor, let alone loyalty. Historically, he is considered talented but lacking in virtue, and morally deficient.

Speechless, and some people actually say it looks good.

It's ridiculous. It's not that there's a lack of talent; just look at whoever hangs on that crooked tree and how many people they've killed. If he doesn't hang them there, who will? If he doesn't bring about the downfall of the country, who will?

The author wrote the protagonist like this, and he's already done all that extortion and blackmail. Does he think Zhang Juzheng's opponent is weak and won't notice? Once they have a point of attack, do you think they won't crush you?

Of those who saved the Ming Dynasty, how many met a good end?

Swords carry the legacy of a thousand years, blades cleave the world in times of chaos. Spears move like ink dots, sweeping across the land; clubs vanquish demons and pacify all directions. The steel whip, used to subdue demons, shakes the five sacred mountains; the halberd, like twin moons, is a match for ten thousand.

You can stop reading after Chapter 3, because the protagonist dies from talking too much.

Earning hundreds of thousands by writing a few chapters of a novel? Opening a restaurant and getting the young prince and Feng Bao to invest? You, a mere Imperial Guard, can train new recruits? You're plotting a rebellion? You never wrote about Zhang Juzheng's reforms from beginning to end? You went to Shandong to provide disaster relief and dared to return home without reporting back? The people below can't stand it anymore; they have absolutely no historical awareness.

Author, this is free. As for your book, I don't want to comment. As for your words, I have nothing else to say. As a writer, it's not about throwing away your books, it's about applying what you've learned to reality. For example, did the God of Linjiang exist in the Three Kingdoms period? I don't care if he was an immortal or a god, he existed long ago. Another example is the late Ming Dynasty.

Because that was ancient times, a very dark era. In modern times, even stealing can get you a three-year sentence, but in those days, cannibalism wasn't illegal.
