The Ming Dynasty Rises Again

The sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

From Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Youjian.

Wise rulers and foolish rulers, the lot.

The tiger-and-leopard emperor Zhu Houzhao, and the alchemy emperor Zhu Houcong.

Of course, the most controversial of them all was the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao.

In 1620, Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo died after taking red pills, having reigned for barely over thirty days.

The sixteen-year-old Tianqi Emperor ascended the throne.

The empire faced internal strife and external threats, while Zhang Juzheng's reforms had long since been distorted beyond recognition.

Natural disasters ravaged the land, and bandits lurked beyond the borders.

In this state of affairs, how will Zhang Yu, who transmigrates into the era, save an empire slowly heading toward its doom?
