Shortly before noon on October 28, 1728, General Yue Zhongqi, the most powerful military and civilian official in northwest China, was en route to his headquarters. Suddenly, out of the crowd, a stranger ran toward Yue and passed him an envelope-an envelope containing details of a treasonous plot to overthrow the Manchu government.

This thrilling story of a conspiracy against the Qing dynasty in 1728 is a captivating tale of intrigue and a fascinating exploration of what it means to rule and be ruled. Once again, Jonathan Spence has created a vivid portrait of the rich culture that surrounds a most dramatic moment in Chinese history.

"An infectiously readable narrative . . . on a par with bestselling works of historical reconstruction such as Dava Sobel's Longitude . . . Eighteenth-century China springs to life." (The Dallas Morning News)

"A slice of history told in the lively manner of a novel." (Ian Buruma, The New York Times Book Review)

"A work of history that pulses with emotion, with vital characters re-created vividly, with complex situations lucidly unraveled, with irony underscored. His straightforward prose style and use of the historic present give his work an engrossing immediacy. It is history of the best kind." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

读后感

电视认罪绝不是本朝的新发明，起码在雍正朝，古典形式的电视认罪已经问世了。 案情的开头其实很简单，平民张熙公开投书煽动素未谋面的高官造反，在严刑审问下牵出主谋曾静，曾静被火速抓捕归案后即刻认罪，并自称本不谙世事的山野村夫，只是被吕留良等人的谣言所误后才有此逆举...

第一次看到鼎鼎大名的史景迁。作者从容讲述了一个堪称离奇的事件。史料丰富，文笔优雅。 作者引述史料很细致，绝对都有出处。可是我们知道清代的史料颇有不可靠之处，实录也可能经数次删改。何况这事件乾隆一登基即翻案。作者可能是太小心，不愿意加入自己的意见，只让史料说...  

一 关于史景迁就不用说什么了。关于这本书还有几点可说。 像这类著作成为了历史写作的一种潮流。如果说大部头的通史著作，其存在以自归于学术之列，其目的也明白坦荡，那么像这一类故事性极强，有时候甘冒史学之大不韪，加入大量的揣测和虚构，又例如《马丁盖尔归来》的作者戴...

宛如起居注般精细的叙述。胤祯果然是枚至情至性的射手座男纸啊咔咔咔，和他儿子处理曾静案的不同手法，就是对“解释就是掩饰，掩饰就是事实”的最好注解。
