The Ming Dynasty's Five Hundred Years

In the twenty-third year of the Hongwu reign, the Han Chinese dynasty had been restored, but the land had been submerged for a century. The heroic spirit of the mighty Han dynasty, the elegance of the prosperous Tang dynasty, and the dazzling lights of Bianjing (Kaifeng) that illuminated the world had all vanished.
The backward grasslands and the decadent Neo-Confucianism joined forces to strangle the burgeoning Han civilization. The newly established Ming Dynasty, limited by its history, had no choice but to become conservative, and was ultimately destroyed by the Tartars, sinking into darkness once again.
Li Qi transmigrated into the body of Li Shanchang, the son of the Duke of Han. Everywhere he looked, families were destroyed, blood flowed across the fields, and the sons of dukes and marquises were reduced to the lowest of the low. "I have one wish: for my family to prosper and for the world to be at peace!"

In the winter of the first year of the Yongle reign, a heavy snow fell. On his deathbed, Li Qi gazed at his handsome young son, who resembled himself in his youth. "Mu'er," he said, "your father is dying. My life has been short and unremarkable, but I lament seven unfulfilled regrets that prevent me from resting in peace."
One regret is that the ancestors could not be exonerated, and the Li family is still considered a sinful clan; this is because their descendants are unworthy.
Secondly, I regret that the teachings of Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi are still prevalent, while few people agree with Zhang Zai's four sentences.
My third regret is that the Ming Dynasty could not restore the former territories of the Han and Tang dynasties.
My fourth regret is that I never saw the scene of Bianjing (Kaifeng) never sleeping, as described in Jiaxuan's old poem.
My fifth regret is that I am unaware of the sights of countless countries overseas.
My sixth regret is that I have never seen the way to lasting peace and prosperity.
"I regret that I have never roamed the celestial palaces, and therefore do not know if among the stars and constellations there is endless birth and death."
