歷史本身很精彩，歷史可以寫得很好看！

　　《明朝那些事兒》，在第一冊朱元璋卷中，我們一直談到朱棣在驚濤駭浪中，終於排除萬難登上皇帝的寶座，史稱「靖難之役」，第二冊一開始的主角就是朱棣，也就是中國史上赫赫有名的明成祖──永樂大帝。

　　朱棣登基，一個輝煌絢麗的王朝就此揭開序幕，五度揮軍北上遠征蒙古，派鄭和下西洋足跡遠達非洲東岸，南下平定安南；編撰一部光耀史冊，留芳千古的偉大書籍──《永樂大典》，文治武功達到顛峰，明帝國進入空前盛世，朱棣後來於北伐蒙古歸來途中病逝。

　　明朝在經歷了比較清明的「仁宣之治」後開始近入一個動盪的時期，大宦官王振把持朝政胡作非為，導致二十萬精兵命喪土木堡，幸虧一代忠臣于謙力挽狂瀾，挽救了明帝國，但隨即在兩位皇帝爭奪皇位的「奪門之變」中被害身亡。 這一連串的事件和人物都精彩無比，可說是高潮迭起，讓人目不暇接，欲罷不能。

It is not as exciting as the first one, but still worth a try.

In the second book of this series, the writer has put too much of his personal ideas/thoughts/emotions in the writing, which leaves less space for readers to make their own conclusions.

However, for a reader like me, who does not have much knowledge about Ming Dynasty, this book can be used to develop a basic understanding of the history of this period.

朱棣不是一个好人 却是一个不折不扣的好皇帝
迁都 编书 兴修水利 万国臣服 给人民安居乐业的生活
他的故事里我也记住了民族气节淋漓尽致的郑和 一身正气的杨士奇 诡谲机敏的姚广孝
生于沙场 死于征途 老来寂寞了就打打阿鲁合 朱棣一生传奇。

Zhu Di (Yongle Emperor) is a mighty and capable emperor. He can fight while riding a horse and rule a country with ease. In contrast, his great grandsons, Zhu Qizhen (Yingzong Emperor) and Zhu Qiyu (Jingtai Emperor), are completely opposite of him. From being brothers to enemies, everything starts from power in their mind.

我覺得比第一集好看，可能因為第二集講的歷史是我相對比較不熟悉的：明成祖的政績（永樂大典.....鄭和下西洋.....），仁宗、宣宗時期的三楊輔政，以及土木堡之變。因為不熟悉，所以很新鮮，很想知道接下來會怎麼樣。明英宗的人生波折不斷，跌宕起伏，感覺不用加油添醋也可以拍成好看電視劇的樣子。

动不动就把成功原因归结于信念和勇气😅不喜欢这种非严肃作品

好看，精彩，不沉悶。
這本書可以看出作者對歷史的觀點以及解讀，可能不中立，但也是此書精彩的地方。

Be like 于谦 and 郑和. What heroism is about.

朱棣是翻版朱元璋吧 武力值强做事直觉灵敏 看人眼光甚至胜过他爹
永乐大典的编纂和完成 北方边境的稳定 政府机构（东厂 内阁）的建立和监督 郑和的出海 都发生在永乐

I love this series books so much. The history stories are so vivid under the author's expression.
I like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, they are both good emperor but may be bad man. The book told us China was so strong at that time, not only science but also military. The Han nationality is the biggest nationality in China, and they got very innovated and creative. But Yuan dynasty which build by Mongolia and Qing dynasty built by Manchu are all stopped China in the history river. They are all got a bad result, Qing dynasty even worse and make China so weak and sealing.
But I'm so happy China was a best Country when in Tang and Ming dynasty. All of other countries come to China and learning the latest technology. I'm so proud of I'm Chinese, it's not as strong as that time. But it's becoming waking again. I believe someday it can be as influential as Tang and Ming.
Then I may do not need to write these words in English, I can using Chinese ancient style prose :) For my ancient ~

This book is also about the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The author used fictional language to tell us the story of Ming Dynasty. He digged into the events and tried to give us the deeper meaning and influence of those events in a objective way. I found this book really interesting because it doesn't only tell us the facts but also reveals the characters’s inner thoughts and the true motive behind one action. I think the book is very different from other historical books because the author’s logic was so inseparable and easy to understand. I also found this book more interesting than the others because the way the author expressed its opinion with humor. When I was reading the book, it feels like the author was talking to me. I think it really helps to attract the readers and make the content easier to understand. I’ll definitely continue the series with the third book.

A refreshing style of writing from the author, narrating history in the form of a novel, while adding associations to contemporary society to allow easier reading and "lower the barrier" for people who are keen on learning more history but afraid of reading dry texts or textbook/academic style writing that is so prevalent of many history books. A definite recommendation to readers who want to understand more about the Ming Dynasty of China.

心灵历史，哈哈哈，挺有趣的。
乱世中的于谦，奸佞无能的王振，传奇的高祖，人格魅力满分的朱祁镇，被欲望黑化的朱祁钰。。。
“轻松诙谐地写完明朝三百年”
还在消耗旧书，新买的冰火系列过两年再看吧。。。

是呀，為什麼鄭和下西洋是以威德服人，而歐洲人則是以資源為重.....

雖然說這是中國自傲、天朝上國心理...

總比衝上去就殖民的好......
