This book has been renamed The Young Son of Great Ming: The Rebellious Emperor and republished. Please go there instead. Thank you. Zhu Yijun transmigrates and becomes the ten-year-old Wanli Emperor of Great Ming.
What should he do when the Grand Secretariat tries to sideline him? No problem. He'll deal with them one by one.
What should he do when the imperial treasury is so empty it rattles? What! Then get out there and earn some money for him! You can't? Then what are you doing as an official? Get out, get out, get out!
The military officials are all uncouth, while the civil officials are naturally their masters. Is that so? From today on, whether you're a provincial graduate or a jinshi, if you don't pay rent, your land will be confiscated!
The great families of the scholar-official class: The founding emperor said the royal house and the scholar-officials would govern the realm together. We're all withdrawing now. Let's see how the young emperor manages without us!
The lackeys: This is bad! The young emperor has put all his students in important positions.
The great families: Go contact the Mongols and the Japanese pirates. We have to take him down.
Zhu Yijun: Being invincible really is lonely. It's so hard to throw my weight around these days.
This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
The protagonist's name is Zhu Hao. Aren't the names of the Ming emperors all based on metal, wood, water, fire, and earth?
