Great Ming: After Failing the Imperial Exam, Old Zhu Begs Me to Become an Official

During the Hongwu era, Chu Xuan transmigrates!

He becomes a candidate sitting for the imperial examination.

He is on the verge of passing with flying colors and has a bright future ahead.

However, having read his history, Chu Xuan knows that serving as an official under Zhu Yuanzhang rarely ends well.

Just then, Chu Xuan binds himself to the God-Tier Choice System.

Choice one: Face the metropolitan examination questions and write complete nonsense. Reward: Perfect Recall.

Choice two: Give it everything, pass with flying colors, and become the top scorer. Reward: One hundred taels of silver.

Choice three: Get up, leave the examination hall, and make a run for it. Reward: A bottle of medicine for bruises and injuries.

Chu Xuan decisively chooses to write complete nonsense.

A question about regional warlords? Write an essay on statecraft?

Chu Xuan: The descendants of the Great Ming are without end. The Great Ming is sure to fall at the hands of its feudal princes.

A question about making the nation wealthy?

Chu Xuan: Lift the maritime ban, encourage trade, and raise the status of merchants.

A question about pacifying the barbarians?

Chu Xuan: Fight them, fight them hard! Kill them all! Take everything!

The imperial examination ends! Chu Xuan really does fail! But Zhu Yuanzhang is shaken to the core.

Zhu Yuanzhang goes straight to Chu Xuan and asks:

Tell me, why will the Great Ming fall to its feudal princes?
