Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I would like to recommend to you a fine historical novel.

"My Brother Zhu Youxiao", Beicheng 2000, 155 million words.

Category: History - Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

Summary:
In 1620, the Ming Dynasty changed three emperors, and the Iron-Headed Nurhaci was still fighting with Xiong Tingbi in Shenyang.

The most elite White Spear Soldiers and Qi Family Army in the East Asian battlefield had just set out north, and the situation was still good.

Lu Xiangsheng was studying hard, while Sun Chuanting was still a small county magistrate.

The big and small Caos were unknown, and the Donglin Party had not yet changed.

However, factional strife within the court has resumed, and the southwestern chieftains are about to rebel.

His father Zhu Changluo had just ascended the throne, and his elder brother Zhu Youxiao had no interest in the throne.

With a wail, the emperor passed away, and the woman was vicious.

To change the fate of the world, we must start with the case of moving the palace...

Huang Taiji: "My Great Qing Dynasty is far superior to the Great Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youjian: "Are you done? Come on, fire the cannon!"

【Brief Comment】

He also has a book titled "Mythology Revival: I Kill Gods in the Classic of Mountains and Seas!" It's 129 million words long, but hardly a masterpiece. The title suggests he's just following the trend.

The transformation of historical texts is actually not accidental.

According to his own account, while he was stationed abroad, he also wrote two historical novels, also about the Ming Dynasty. At that time, his focus was mainly on the Donglin Party, which he believed was responsible for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

After reading more historical materials on the Ming Dynasty, he gained a deeper understanding of the factional struggles in the late Ming Dynasty, which led to the origin of this book.

The protagonist of this story is Zhu Youjian, also known as the Chongzhen Emperor, who was only ten years old at the time. He was a reborn prince, without a system or cheat codes, and played the role of an ordinary prince. The story begins with the death of Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo, and the imminent succession of Zhu Youxiao. Three emperors passed in a single year, a truly remarkable achievement.

The Palace Move Case is about to happen. In order to solve this problem, the protagonist immediately makes arrangements after learning that the previous emperor has passed away. He rescues Zhu Youxiao and takes him out of the Qianqing Palace to prevent him from being assassinated.

He couldn't directly succeed to the throne, after all, his brother was still alive and only 16 years old, so he had to follow the historical context. Besides, the throne would still fall to him in the future.

Zhu Youxiao trusted him very much. When he ascended the throne, he took the protagonist to stand next to the dragon throne and also adopted the protagonist's suggestions on the funeral specifications and cemetery selection of the late emperor.

Especially in order to prevent those people in the harem from causing trouble, he followed the arrangements of the protagonist. The level of trust is very rare in all dynasties.

Perhaps he felt that his younger brother was the only person he could trust. Of course, it might also be related to his own cowardly character. In these precarious times, when he had to face the factional struggles among the civil officials, his younger brother was his greatest support.

The factional struggles of the late Ming Dynasty have always been a key focus of novels on this subject. Whether it was the Donglin Party or other factions, they were all political forces that could not be ignored. If not handled properly, they could threaten the collapse of the country. Especially with the rise of Nurhaci, the border situation was extremely serious.

The protagonist, with the memories and knowledge of later generations, helps the country overcome numerous difficulties, rise step by step, and move towards the final historical direction.

The first part of the book contains many narration points, and the author explains a lot of background information to facilitate the reader's understanding. Because everyone's understanding is different, it is difficult to say whose historical view is correct.

But it can be seen that there are still quite a lot of people who like this book.

If you are out of books, you might as well give it a try.
