Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 1173 1170. Comments on "Si Li Jian"

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I would like to recommend to you a completed and excellent historical novel.

"Si Li Jian", proud and iron-hearted, level 5 author.

Category: History - Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

Summary:
Don’t look down on the poor young man, my uncle is Wei Zhongxian.

Anything produced by Aogu must be of high quality.

【Brief Comment】

He also has two books under his name, "The Big Bandit" and "Sir, You Need to Pay More Money", both of which are historical texts.

Historical texts are not easy to write, and there are very few authors who can persist in writing them.

This ostensibly his first book, he got a masterpiece, and the plot is generally pretty good.

In particular, readers will be very interested just by looking at the title of the book.

The Silijian (Office of Ceremonies) was one of the "Twelve Offices" of the Ming Dynasty, responsible for managing eunuchs and palace affairs. Established in the 17th year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Emperor Taizu, it comprised eunuchs such as the Superintendent, the Seal Holder, the Pen Holder, and the Assistant Eunuch. The Superintendent was responsible for overseeing all rituals and criminal cases within the imperial city, as well as managing official duties and hearings. It was known as the "First Office."

The protagonist of this book is named Wei Liangchen, the nephew of Wei Zhongxian, but he is not a real historical figure. His brother and father did exist.

At the beginning, the protagonist was in a miserable state. He was beaten and died because he stole someone else's horse.

After my rebirth, I felt that the 37th year of Wanli was quite dangerous.

He had to change his fate, otherwise he would not survive the Qing cavalry's southward advance.

The protagonist still wants to go to school, but the teacher is unwilling to teach him, and the teacher's daughter also looks down on him.

He learned from his father that his uncle was a eunuch in the palace, and he knew that he would be the famous Ninth Prince in the future.

He decided to go and join the army, even if it was as a soldier.

But reality was cruel. Instead of joining the army, he embarked on the path of Little Nine Thousand Years Old. By chance, he hooked up with Ke Yinyue, a woman who was no ordinary person. She later gave birth to a prince, the protagonist's son.

Isn’t it a weird feeling?
There are simply too many such plots in historical texts.

Another point worth mentioning here is that when the protagonist defected to Wei Zhongxian, Jiu Qiansui was still raising horses and was the Bi Ma Wen in the palace.

To be honest, the scene of the uncle and nephew meeting is quite funny. Because he suddenly saw his nephew coming, Wei Zhongxian thought that his elder brother had died and the nephew had come to announce the death, so he began to cry.

This custom and culture may not exist in the south, but it is extremely popular in the north, especially in underdeveloped areas.

Afterwards, the uncle and nephew began to rise rapidly in the palace, controlling the political power, making the name of Nine Thousand Years Old known throughout the world, and having power over the government and the country.

However, the book still gives people a eunuch feeling in the end. The Prince of Fu who appeared at the beginning was finally dragged away by the protagonist on a long journey, and completely lost the possibility of competing for the imperial power.

Unlike other historical novels about the struggle for world domination, this book seems to end abruptly, which is why readers criticize it as a premature or poorly-ended book.

Actually, it’s not bad. We have seen a lot of plots about fighting for supremacy and building trains, so it’s not new to us.

So overall, this book is really good, and the author has done a very solid job, which is admirable.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment.

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”.

Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

This is a completed novel, but the author mistakenly posted an extra chapter, which caused quite a misunderstanding and made many people think that he was updating a sequel.

In fact, many authors have completed the main text a long time ago and the number of words is quite large, but they still insist on writing very long side stories, which are almost as long as the main text.

I have met several authors of this type. While I admire them, I also feel helpless. Please let them go.
