“奸臣”之名背后的赵文华

Zhao Wenhua: behind the Name of “Treacherous Court Official”

Zhao Wenhua, in the authorized history, framed up Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong during the fighting against Japanese pirates, and corrupted the construction funds of the ministry of works in feudal China, was exactly a crafty time-server. So he was written in the ＂biography of treacherous court official＂ by the history of Ming Dynasty, with the final judgment, his talent in literature and historiography were also submerged.

However, the ＂traitor＂ Zhao Wenhua had profound attainments at literature and historiography, and who also showed his excellent military talent during the fighting against Japanese pirates.
