Great Ming: I Told You to Corrupt the Court, Corrupt It! Got It?

My name is Zhao Ce. I'm in the Ming Dynasty, applying for the position of Grand Secretary.

I obtained a state-governance System. As long as I make the country prosperous, I can earn all kinds of rewards.

I am Zhu Houzhao, the eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I obtained a System that increases the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty whenever I ruin the court. Today, some young upstart came to apply for the position of Grand Secretary. I've found the perfect candidate. If this hothead becomes Grand Secretary, he'll ruin the court as thoroughly as possible!

As time passed, I gradually began to feel that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Zhao invented the flintlock and wiped out the Oirat and Tatar forces."

"Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Zhao repaired Taihu Lake's irrigation works, benefiting tens of thousands of people along its banks."

"Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Zhao is making education compulsory, and literacy rates across the Ming are soaring."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't sit still any longer. He found the Grand Secretary and said earnestly, "Lord Zhao, could you please ruin the court a little? I'm begging you!"
