Zong Chenghao 
Zhu Yuanzhang and His Era [EPUB ebook] 
A Vivid Reproduction of the Pinnacle of Court Power Struggles in the Hongwu Era

"In the thirty-first year of the Hongwu era, who exactly was causing trouble for the empire? It’s a historical puzzle with clues but no definitive solution. The book, consistent with the author Zong Chenghao’s usual smooth and gradual narrative style, tells the story of the power dilemmas before and after Zhu Yuanzhang’s establishment of the nation, the political struggles on the eve of the Jingnan Campaign, and the internal conflicts within the civil official group, among other major historical events. Under the author’s pen, the power game between Emperor Hongwu and his ministers is interpreted in a more humanized way."Please note that this translation is an attempt to convey the meaning of the original text in English, and it may not capture all the nuances of the original Chinese prose.
