Outside Fengyang City, there was a cowherd boy named Zhu Chongba. The drought took away the lives of his parents and brother. He knelt down in the countryside and couldn't find a piece of land to bury his father. In order to survive, he picked up a clay bowl and became a wandering monk. He begged for three years and traveled all over Huaixi, seeing the desolation of the troubled times.
He joined the army at the age of twenty-five and has been licking blood ever since. This poor boy who was born as a beggar climbed up from the mountain of corpses and overthrew the Mongols and founded the Ming Dynasty.
He was the emperor with the lowest origin in history - after he became emperor, he killed corrupt officials until hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and slaughtered meritorious officials to the point where the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were as silent as a cicada. He used torture to shock the world and held the imperial power with an iron fist, but he devoted his life to lovingly protecting his wife, Queen Ma. But fate was extremely cruel to him: he lost his wife in his prime and his son in his later years. When Prince Zhu Biao died, the chess game he had planned for half his life was completely disrupted.
He trampled all his enemies under his feet and held all the power in his hands, but in the end he discovered that the wind at the height of the dragon chair was bitingly cold. The lone dragon is in the sky, and the nine states are in sight, but there is no one above the ninth level except himself.
Open this book to see how a cowherd boy changed his destiny against the will of heaven, and how an emperor completed his magnificent life in power and loneliness.
