Chongzhen of the Great Ming: From the Start, I Execute Yuan Chonghuan in a Fury

Yuan Chonghuan: "Your Majesty, if you grant me full authority to act as I see fit, I can reclaim all of Liaodong within five years!"

Chongzhen: "Guards, behead Yuan Chonghuan!"

Liu Zongzhou: "The people are suffering. Your Majesty should reduce taxes and levies."

Chongzhen smiled. "We should raise both the agricultural and commercial taxes! The right approach is to learn from the Jianlu and squeeze the people dry."

Pan Shiwen: "Mao Wenlong has claimed false victories, squandered military funds, and committed every manner of evil. He deserves death for ten crimes!"

Chongzhen: "I want to raise Mao Wenlong's annual military budget to ten million taels of silver!"

After Zhu Youjian's soul transmigrated into Chongzhen, he thought:

"Yuan Chonghuan gets praised to the skies for holding Ningyuan for two days. Then Yan Yingyuan, who held Jiangyin for eighty days, must be a god!"

"Come to think of it, where is Yan Yingyuan?"

"I want to put him in an important position right now!"

The ministers wailed:

"The current emperor is a tyrant and a fool!"

"He'll be the death of our Great Ming!"
