Emperor from the Start, but My Ministers Are Acting Strange

Fang Han wakes up transmigrated into a new dynasty as its emperor.

But when he goes to court, he can't help thinking: Am I raising a nest of vipers?

Standing below him are his five adopted sons: Lu Bu, Yang Guang, Liu Shao, Zhu Yougui, and Hu Hai.

The eunuch chiefs Zhao Gao, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, and the Ten Attendants stand to either side.

In the imperial harem, Empress Lu Zhi, virtuous consort Wu Meiniang, favored consort Yang Yuhuan, Zhao Feiyan, Zhao Hede, Mo Xi, Da Ji, Bao Si, Li Ji, and Xia Ji vie for power.

His adopted brother Zhao Guangyi, maternal uncle Wang Mang, brother-in-law Shi Jingtang, younger brother-in-law Yang Guozhong, uncle Yuwen Hu, and prime minister Lü Buwei are all steadfastly loyal.

Prime Minister Jia Sidao, Commander Sima Yi, loyal minister Qin Hui, city defense officer Cao Aman, military governor An Lushan, and commander Dong Zhuo work to pacify the realm and repel its enemies.

Li Zicheng, Zhu Wen, and Huang Chao have just come over to his side.

Everyone congratulates him on the empire's eternal peace.

Something's not quite right about these ministers.

"Eternal peace?"

"With virtuous members of the imperial family, loyal ministers, and valiant generals like you, how could I fail to achieve my great ambition..."
