Great Ming: Old Zhu! Do You Run the Country by Eavesdropping on Me?

Crown Prince Zhu Biao: "Father... Look, I do five hundred push-ups every day now, and I'm in great shape. Even the concubines can't resist me! Isn't that enough? I really can live to a hundred!"

Prince of Yan Zhu Di: "Father, stop hitting me! I really have no plans to rebel!"

Jurchens of Jianzhou: "Great Emperor of the Ming! You mustn't believe those rumors! Two hundred years from now, we'll attack the Ming? How could we dare do that!"

Minister of Revenue: "Your Majesty... Is there really such a thing as a Little Ice Age? Look... Our Ming dynasty's grain reserves are already enough to last three hundred harvests. Is that still not enough?"

Civil and military officials: "Your Majesty! This... This world map was also drawn by the Imperial Preceptor himself?!"

Ten years later, the Ming had become the world's dominant empire, on which the sun never set, and all nations came to pay homage!

"Old Zhu! You really went too far!"

Qin Feng came to his senses and roared, "You governed the country by eavesdropping on my thoughts? How is that even acceptable?"

"I'm paid the salary of a poor seventh-rank county magistrate, but I have to worry about the whole Ming dynasty like an Imperial Preceptor! You've squeezed me dry!"

"You can't be as Zhu Yuanzhang as this!"
