What I recommend to you today is the representative work of the great writer Te Te Bai.

"The King's Woman" is very white and written by a great writer.

Category: History - Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

【Introduction】

Wang Tong, a modern working man, died of illness and lived in the early years of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. This was the best era of the Ming Dynasty and also the last glory of the Ming Dynasty. As a descendant of the Jinyiwei, what could Wang Tong do and what could he change?

The moment he appeared, the long river of time had changed its direction.
【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One: Homecoming. After his death, the protagonist, Wang Tong, travels back in time to the early Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. His father, a member of the Imperial Guard, is transferred to Macau, and he follows him there. Twelve years after his time travel, he remains an ordinary person. Seeing Macau's Westernization, he insists on apprenticing in a foreign blacksmith shop for six months, earning himself a short musket.

Chapter Two: Great Sorrow and Great Misfortune. The protagonist returns home with his father, but after a six-month journey, his father falls seriously ill and passes away today. Following a neighbor's advice, the protagonist rushes to the Imperial Guard to report the death and purchase funeral supplies. On the way back, he overhears the Imperial Guard's chief planning to seize his family fortune.

Chapter 3: Captain Tian's Quick Thought. The protagonist's father was usually easygoing with his neighbors, and many of them came to help with the funeral or pay respects. Captain Tian Ronghao, a member of the Imperial Guard, also came with a group of Imperial Guards to pay respects and go through the formalities. The protagonist spotted someone in the crowd plotting to seize the family fortune, and feared he would be murdered for his wealth. Quickly thinking, he took the money left by his father and planned to give it to the captain. However, he used the excuse of paying off a debt.

Chapter 4: A gamble on one's future. Captain Tian accepted the money—over a thousand taels to fill a vacancy in the Imperial Guard—a good deal. He agreed, and the protagonist immediately thanked him. His life was saved. After the funeral, the protagonist cleaned himself up and reported to Captain Tian's house early to receive his badge, leaving a good impression on him.

Chapter 5: A Helpless Job. The protagonist fills the vacancy, but his boss remains the same general commander surnamed Liu, the one who plots against his family's fortune. So, even though he's employed, he has no responsibilities to perform, and naturally, no further benefits to gain. His first day on the job involves standing outside a centurion's house all day, but he still reports early the next day.

【Brief Comment】

Te Te Bai is a great writer who has written nine novels, including "Evil Ming", "Shun Ming", "Zhu Ming", "Shuo Ming", etc., many of which are about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

The best performing one is undoubtedly "The Imperial Guards".

This book has 320,000 collections on Qidian.com, 310,000 collections in Bookstore, 640,000 fans, an average subscription of over 10,000, and 10 alliance leaders.

This book, written between May 2010 and January 2012, consists of 3.5 million words. Updates aren't frequent, and the volume isn't large. The protagonist, Wang Tong, is a time traveler, lacking a cheat code or system, and coming from a humble background. His father, a minor member of the Imperial Guard, oversaw a dozen or so soldiers, was exiled to Guangdong and Macau, where he died of illness after returning to Beijing.

A colleague, General Liu, also wanted to take over the protagonist's property. Fortunately, he gave a large sum of money to Tian Baihu to fill his father's position. Unfortunately, it was just a sinecure, and he couldn't make much money. He might also be bullied by General Liu.

So he opened a small restaurant, a bit like a modern fast food restaurant, which was very popular and attracted many young eunuchs from the palace to eat. Finally, he attracted the head of the East Factory and the young Emperor Wanli, with whom he formed a deep friendship.

As mentioned in the introduction, the course of time has changed.

The protagonist eventually took control of the Jinyiwei, becoming the center of power and being named Prince of Ji. After Wanli's death, the protagonist became a figure similar to Cao Cao, but of course his personality was completely different. He did not usurp the throne or rebel.

This book takes the Jinyiwei as its starting point and rewrites the course of history. The writing is not shallow, the structure is very clear, the plot is smooth, the logic is online, and there are many things worth learning.

Unlike the historical novels nowadays, where you just have to add a system and rush in!
Friends who love Ming history may want to read this novel, it is quite interesting.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!
