Great Ming: Fleeing Home with the Future Empress

Your Majesty, your son has run away from home and eloped with the future Empress!

Your Majesty, your son has gone up into the sky, and taken the future Empress flying with him!

Your Majesty, His Highness has gone rather far. They say there’s a creature there called a golden cat.

Your Majesty, His Highness is quite formidable. His city is even bigger than yours.

Your Majesty, the Eighteen Rebels have surrounded the capital.

Your Majesty, the Manchu troops have taken the indirect route to attack Guo and are heading for the capital!

Up in the sky, someone looked down with a faint sneer.

I only said officials and merchants should pay grain taxes together, and you wouldn’t let me be Crown Prince.

Hmph. All under heaven belongs to the king, and all who live within its borders are his subjects. Wouldn’t it be nice if the ministers just listened obediently?

He bent down, picked up a megaphone, and shouted at the rebel army, the barbarians, and the officials:

“Heh, you’re all here? Good, good. Saves me having to track you down one by one. Now I’ve got no shortage of laborers to dig the canal!”
