I'm So Wicked Even the Emperor Says I'm Outrageously Immoral!

Li Mu’s soul transmigrates to the Wu Dynasty, where he offends the entire family of Emperor Wu from the start. To resolve the crisis, he takes on the court’s scholars in a battle of words, only for Emperor Wu to challenge him with a series of tricky questions. Emperor Wu: “The rebels in Bingzhou are holed up inside the city and refuse to come out. What do you propose?” Li Mu: “Dig up their ancestors’ graves, carry the coffins to the city walls, whip and burn the corpses, and force them out.” Emperor Wu: “The Hu tribesmen of the grasslands are ambitious and repeatedly invade our lands. How should we deal with them?” Li Mu: “The Hu love wine. We can sell them wine to liven things up and give them little picture books, so they become addicted to drink and debauchery and perish in pleasure.” Emperor Wu: “Xiliang grows ever stronger and looks down on our great empire. What should we do?” Li Mu: “Xiliang has poor soil. We can trick them into diverting the Yellow River to irrigate their fields, draining their national strength. Once the people are destitute, our dynasty can save them from their misery and even inherit a ready-made irrigation system.” His schemes are vicious and underhanded. Emperor Wu can only exclaim that he is utterly unscrupulous: “In that case, how about I send you to make amends through service?”
