"Return to the Ming Dynasty and Become a Tyrant", Zhou Zhou, Level 4 author.

Category: History - Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

【Introduction】

I traveled back in time to the Ming Dynasty and became the Carpenter Emperor Zhu Youxiao. Well, I'll hide behind and take the blame, and you guys go and die.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: The Carpenter Emperor. The protagonist travels back in time and becomes the Tianqi Emperor, who has been on the throne for just six months. A slight acquaintance with his situation brings a smile to his face. It seems the only option left is to continue to favor the eunuchs. First, he'll go to court and see what's going on.

Chapter 2: Wei Zhongxian. The protagonist decides to make use of Wei Zhongxian, despite him not yet rising to prominence. Well-versed in the history of eunuchs during the Tianqi era, the protagonist decides to carefully plan a course of action to break the status quo of real history and revive his reputation as a carpenter emperor.

Chapter 3: The Ruler's Trouble. Though the protagonist doesn't explicitly state it, Wei Zhongxian realizes that the emperor intends to kill his wet nurse, Kebaba. Wei Zhongxian, unable to hold back his bladder, has no choice but to do it, or risk his own death. The protagonist then pulls out Han Feizi and begins reading. "Bei Nei" clearly and clearly explains the ruler's troubles. Trust others, and you will be controlled by them.

Chapter 4, Kebaba. Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba were a couple, and historically, they were said to have a significant influence on the Tianqi Emperor's children. To protect them, the protagonist had no choice but to act preemptively. Kebaba died, and the protagonist remained grief-stricken. However, Yang Lian, a member of the Donglin Clique, was overjoyed when he learned of the incident.

Chapter 5, "Memorials." The protagonist has set up a secret studio in the Qianqing Palace, where he works as a carpenter and reads memorials. The difference between memorials and memorials is described in detail here. From them, he learns about news from Liaodong.

Chapter 6: Yuan Yingtai. He was suited to logistics, but not to commanding a region, especially the crucial Liaodong region. Historical records indicate that he played a significant role in the fall of Liaodong. Consequently, the protagonist orders him to be transferred back to another position, appointing the highly skilled military commander Xiong Tingbi. The cabinet, though surprised, proceeds to implement the order.

Chapter 7: Han Yu's Advice. The Prime Minister, knowing he's about to step down, doesn't want to argue with the Emperor. Meanwhile, the Second Minister, Han Yu, isn't entirely satisfied with the Emperor's orders and decides to present his case. The protagonist, impressed by him, lets him share his thoughts, but only listens.

Chapter 8: Fei Xiong's Dream Interpretation. As expected, after hearing the other party's remarks, the protagonist fabricated a dream story about a Fei Xiong saving him from a critical Liaodong crisis. Fei Xiong refers to Xiong Tingbi. This theory is, of course, absurd, so he goes to a random Taoist priest on the street under the guise of Wei Zhongxian to interpret his dream. In his view, every emperor is subject to slander. As long as his policies are implemented, he doesn't mind resorting to underhanded tactics.

Chapter 9: Isn't it better to be a tyrant? The protagonist has a prejudice against wise rulers, believing that so-called wise rulers are all hype. He doesn't need the hype; he would rather be a tyrant. However, the situation in Liaodong is critical, and Xiong Tingbi must be transferred there as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Later Jin Dynasty rises, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Chapter 10: Your grandfather is leaving for Liaodong. Despite the imperial decree, the protagonist remains concerned and orders Chen Hong to accompany him. This is against protocol, but the situation is critical. Xiong Tingbi, unemployed at home, is incredulous upon the arrival of the decree. Only when Chen Hong personally reads the decree and hands him the manuscript does he realize the true state of affairs in Liaodong. Yuan Yingtai is up to something!
【Brief Comment】

Zhou Zhou, a level 4 author, only has this book to his name.

It was launched on March 1st, with an initial order of 2000, and reached the top level on April 7th, a little over a month. Currently, the book has 73,300 collections on Qidian, 9971 collections on the bookstore, 170,000 fans, and 4 alliance leaders.

The title of this book is similar to the "Return to the Ming Dynasty" series, such as "Return to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince," "Return to the Ming Dynasty as a Tyrant," and "Return to the Ming Dynasty as an Emperor." The advantage of such a title is that it is easy to ride on the popularity, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to click on the wrong one.

Since the novel "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty", all emperors of the Ming Dynasty have been written about, and most of the eunuchs have also been written about. However, the popularity is still very high, and it is still a very popular period of history in the historical category.

It was revealed that the author of this book is a female author. She has written several female-oriented works before, but they all failed.

This book is currently being widely recommended, and its performance should improve.

Having said that, I seldom watch women's dramas because I can't quite understand the details of clothing, costumes, actions and intrigues.

From the outset, this book is meticulously detailed. This includes the roles of eunuchs, the origin and design of the Qianqing Palace, the story of the emperor's wet nurse Kebaba and Wei Zhongxian, and annotations to the "Inner Chapters" of Han Feizi. The author enjoys annotations, but they are far less compelling than the plot. While they facilitate understanding, they are completely unnecessary.

Someone commented, quite rightly, that among readers of the history section, there are many "doctors." While it was a joke, there are indeed many experts in the history section. If you don't have the skills, you wouldn't dare leave a comment.

Without the necessary skills, you wouldn't dare to write historical articles.

So, although it was written by a female author and the perspective is different from that of a male author, her writing skills, style, story, and reputation are all quite good.

You can go and take a look at it, or you can read it together with "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Tyrant", so that you can clearly compare the differences between male and female authors on the same subject matter.

Learn how they wrote historical fiction.

【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】

Although there is evidence that it was written by a female author.

But psychologically it is still difficult to accept such a fact.

Because it’s really well written.

Whether it is the characterization, the story line, or even the historical allusions and folk customs, they are not comparable to ordinary brainless amateur writing.

The difficulty of writing historical novels is no less than that of college students majoring in history.

Because real historical materials are not so exciting and easy to understand, truly good historical novels require these authors to study the historical materials.

If you simply read novels of this type, it will be difficult to write an interesting novel.

This is different from fantasy novels about cultivating immortals.

In fact, no matter what the subject of the novel is, it looks simple but is very difficult to do.

Especially for part-time authors, their schedules are very irregular and it is difficult to update.

Not only is it difficult to succeed in writing novels, it is also quite lonely and I need a lot of support from my readers!
So, I have been promoting a lot of new books recently, which is also to encourage newcomers.

Including fake newcomers! This is a very "hateful" group of newcomers, competing for resources too fiercely!
Finally, I wish all teachers a happy holiday!
