Features: Zhu Yuanzhang, rising from the status of a commoner to become the emperor of a dynasty, already possessed a highly legendary life. After establishing the dynasty, he also claimed to follow the examples of the Han and Tang dynasties, pushing the feudal control of the Ming dynasty to its extreme. During this period, to consolidate imperial power, he worked diligently, eliminated rivals, making the political scene of the early Ming dynasty full of changes and enigmas. This not only left behind many political legends but also led to conflicting evaluations of this Ming dynasty's founding emperor in later generations. The author, through meticulous research on a large amount of historical materials, especially delving into the many historical mysteries of the Hongwu era, has meticulously crafted a vivid portrayal of the thrilling political storms of the early Ming dynasty. While objectively presenting the historical background of the era, the book places greater emphasis on character portrayals, especially on Zhu Yuanzhang, the feudal emperor who was both a visionary and narrow-minded. This profound makes readers deeply moved and enlightened as they revisit the scenes of autocratic tragedies from several centuries ago.
