Empress in Danger
She thought that fate was finished with her. But it was only beginning… After being banished to a remote abbey, Daiyu thinks the machinations of the inner court can no longer hurt her. But she is wrong. A ghost from the past emerges and threatens everything Daiyu has worked so hard to build for herself. From the opulence of the inner court and the right hand of the emperor, Daiyu finds herself back at the beginning, back outside the imposing red walls of the Forbidden City. Daiyu discovers that she has the power to choose her future, but both futures carry a risk she is not sure she has the strength to face. But underneath it all is a love so powerful, Daiyu cannot walk away. The future of a dynasty rests with her…
Empress in Hiding
She thought that the favor of the emperor would keep her safe. She was wrong. At the center of power and privilege, Daiyu is now in more danger than she ever imagined. No longer able to hide among the countless palace ladies, as empress, Daiyu cannot escape the jealousy and scheming of the other women who would do anything to take her place. But that is not the only danger Daiyu faces. Foreign enemies besiege Peking, sacking the city and forcing the imperial family to flee for their lives. War changes everything. With enemies lurking in every corner, Daiyu, the girl from the streets, must step into a role she was never born to play. All of China depends on it.
Generals and ministers
At noon in midsummer, the sun is like fire. There is no wind in the air, and there is no rain. Only the scorching sun is burning, and the ground is boiling hot, which makes people dizzy. In this weather, even in the heavily guarded military camp, not many people are patrolling the camp,
China and Maritime Europe, 1500–1800
China and Maritime Europe, 1500–1800 looks at early modern China in some of its most complicated and intriguing relations with a world of increasing global interconnection. New World silver, Chinese tea, Jesuit astronomers at the Chinese court, and merchants and marauders of all kinds play important roles here. Although pieces of these stories have been told before, these chapters provide the fullest and clearest available summaries, based on sources in Chinese and in European languages, making this information accessible to students and scholars interested in the growing connections among continents and civilizations in the early modern period.
