Night Journey in Brocade Robes

Description

Night Journey in Brocade Robes, a long-form alternate history novel created by Yue Guan, follows protagonist Xia Xu who travels back to the early Ming Dynasty. Assisting Zhu Di, he helps achieve great undertakings—whether participating in the Jingnan Campaign to suppress feudal lords, relocating the capital and compiling texts, five expeditions against Mongolia, or seven voyages to the Southern Seas—Xia Xu is involved in all these events, profoundly influencing the course of history. From the Jingnan Campaign and suppression of feudal lords to relocating the capital, compiling texts, five expeditions against Mongolia, and seven voyages to the Southern Seas—I am everywhere, yet no one knows I exist. Holding the universe in my sleeve, traveling by night in brocade robes—low-key! Staying low-key is the true way. A twisted legacy of life and a延续ing passive fate paved the way for his rise and counterattack. Seemingly an imposter without initiative, he reversed the passive trajectory of his life, ushering in new dynamics across all related environments! In the stormy struggle for imperial succession, the meticulously planned feudal reforms, the glorious moments of the Yongle Encyclopedia, the orchestration of the capital relocation, pacifying internal strife and repelling external threats—in every major and minor event, his shadow remains indelible, his footprints impossible to conceal! Early Ming history was tumultuous. It was an era where upheavals were subsiding, yet heroes and villains stirred history, propelling the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first climax! Amid such history, how does an ordinary modern individual manipulate winds and clouds, intervene in such turbulence, and achieve his own understated brilliance!
