The 1566 Series (Book 4) by Liu Heping
The empire is in mortal danger. Hai Rui and his allies bought her time, but now it is spent. Addled by mercury and aided by sycophants, Emperor Jiajing is squandering the last remnants of the treasury. Now it is time to rescue the once-mighty Ming or join in the plunder as it descends in flames to a hell of no return.
