Your Majesty, the Prince Consort Has Rebelled!

Author Yun Jinzhi, please don't write about katanas anymore.

The author also mentioned that this is their first historical fiction novel, and it might not be very well written. While the initial writing and plot are indeed weak, and the author's classical Chinese skills are lacking, the protagonist's intelligence kicks in once they begin suppressing the rebellion in Yangzhou.

It's great! When will the author finish writing it?! I really want to see the ending!

This emperor is truly incompetent. If it weren't for the male lead, he would have been completely outmaneuvered by the crown prince, and there would have been no chance for him to turn the tables... Also, the male lead clearly had a chance to successfully rebel, but when did he actually rebel? Every time he talked about rebelling, he would just disappear without a trace.

This is a decent alternate history novel. The male lead isn't invincible from the start; for the first 30 chapters, he does endure humiliation and hardship. The story only gets interesting after he gains military power. You have to get through the first 30 chapters for the rest to be enjoyable. Also, I hope the female lead isn't the Ninth Princess, and that the male lead doesn't reconcile with her, since she was really annoying and disgusting in the beginning.

It's quite watchable, I just hope the male lead doesn't reconcile with the female lead later on...
