Epilogue (I)

Everyone in the world knows that the poetry and wine of the Wei and Tang dynasties are romantic, and the Wen and Song dynasties are rich and prosperous, but the Ming Dynasty is often .com with the Qing Dynasty

Few people still remember that hundreds of years ago, there was such a big country, starting from Korea in the east, Tufan in the west, Bao Annan in the south, and Damoi in the north, 101,750 miles from east to west, 100,000 and 904 miles from north to south. Today, the prosperous atmosphere of Daming is no longer visible, and it is my original intention to reshape the style of that era in the book.

When I was very young, I heard that Zheng He went to the West, heard of the "Yongle Grand Canon", and heard about the Battle of Jingjing, and I have always had an indescribable curiosity about the Yongle Emperor who was the son of heaven from the king of Yan. Throughout the historical books, there are many emperors who won the world by mutiny, but only Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Yongle Emperor Zhu Di are famous in history. Unlike the former's almost unanimous good reputation, Zhu Di left a mixed evaluation. Some people say that he is a brutal son of heaven, some people respect him as a famous general, some people scold him as a usurper and a rebel, and some people respect him as a great monarch of the world. He personally broke the rule of the last years of Hongwu, but he forged a powerful empire, and then left behind enough virtuous ministers to maintain the prosperity of Renxuan for more than ten years.

My story begins in the late years of Yongle Prosperity. A prosperous era of all nations, a prominent family, and an ignorant and reborn teenager, so this book was born. You may be able to see the growth and struggle of a child of a family, the life style of the court and the market, and the history of a few people. From the powerful officials to the common people, from the princes and nobles to the eunuchs and servants, a vivid and vivid character flows out of the pen, watching them gradually plump and grow, gradually flesh and blood, as the author, I feel an incomparable joy. If you close the book, you will still remember the moody Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, the old ancestor Gu who knows the general situation, Du Zhen who has a cold face and a warm heart, the chic and uninhibited Wanshijie, and Yuan Fang hidden behind it...... Even the witty and courageous Zhang Yue and the gentle and intelligent Du Juan, then, are my greatest successes.

This is a book that carries my infinite fantasies about that history, about those characters. The court and the deep palace, the splendid wealthy, the streets and alleys of the market, every place and place, are soaked with my hard work bit by bit. The hard work of rummaging through the information disappeared at the moment when it finally came to an end, and was replaced by an indescribable melancholy. There are nearly thousands of materials left in the data folder, from the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty to various map systems, and more than a year and a half of history, more than three million words, is also the longest book I have written, and may become my unforgettable memory, although it is not perfect.
