Ming Dynasty: I Have Power over the Government and the Public, but I Won't Proclaim Myself Emperor

In the early morning of the first day of September in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, I traveled through time and became Chongzhen's direct cousin, King Rui Zhu Youhua. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chongzhen summoning Wei Zhongxian secretly. The sword was already unsheathed. "Your Majesty, you cannot kill." The whole court was in an uproar, scolding me for "protecting the eunuch party and harming the Qingliu". But I know that once Wei Zhongxian dies, the Ming Dynasty will truly be over. So I did three things: protect the eunuchs of Wei, eliminate corruption, conquer the powerful, and collect the money into the treasury; then I turned around and pressed eunuchs, Donglin, and Houjin to the ground and rubbed them. In six years, I went from being the "eunuch lackey" that everyone shouted and beaten, to becoming a powerful regent. Chongzhen slapped the table and scolded me for being authoritarian, but behind his back he only believed me. The Donglin Party wrote an article accusing me of stealing the country. All the money they found when they ransacked my house was used to pay for the Liaodong Army. Wei Zhongxian glared at me before he died: "You are more ruthless than ours." Cruel? I just don't want to be the emperor. I hold the power of the world, but I cannot sit on that dragon chair - because the one sitting on it is my brother who I personally supported. Don't be suspicious, I am really not a usurper. Someone has to bear this infamy. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
