Mad Court Historian, Empress, Please Sentence Me to Death!

In the Great Qian Dynasty, the first year of the Jiayou reign. An empress has ascended the throne, and the empire faces turmoil within and threats abroad. The court is rife with unrest, while foreign powers watch hungrily from beyond the borders. Just then, Lu Chuan arrives. Not only is he born with tremendous strength, but, for some inexplicable reason, he also becomes the Great Qian’s chief court historian. After confirming that he’ll be able to go home and inherit a fortune worth billions once he dies, Lu Chuan embarks on a reckless mission to get himself killed! Censor-in-Chief Liu Wencheng: “Your Majesty must not favor petty men and distance yourself from worthy ministers, lest the government fall into ruin...” Lu Zi’an: “Censor-in-Chief Liu Wencheng angrily called Your Majesty a foolish ruler who favors flatterers and spurns the worthy!” Liu Wencheng: “Huh?” Prince Kang Yang Yi: “Your Majesty, grant me an army of three hundred thousand, and I’ll sweep the steppe clean in no time!” Lu Zi’an: “Prince Kang Yang Yi bragged to Your Majesty. He thinks Your Majesty is an idiot!” Yang Yi: “What the hell?” Right Chancellor Xu Shaohu: “I have served as an official all my life with integrity. I have never seized anyone’s farmland. I ask Your Majesty to see the truth!” Lu Zi’an: “Right Chancellor Xu Shaohu is blatantly lying. He seized the land, refuses to admit it, and is trying to deceive the throne!” Xu Shaohu: “What the hell?” The Empress of Great Qian: “I truly did not think this through. We shall discuss this matter again.” Lu Zi’an: “The empress knows she’s wrong but refuses to change, too proud to admit it, and cares nothing for the people of the realm!” The empress: “???” That’s what a court historian does: record the truth without bias. I’ll write whatever I damn well please!
