Reborn as the Chongzhen Emperor at the End of the Ming: You Want Me to Slack Off?

[Ming Dynasty + Chongzhen + No golden finger + Slacker style + Turning the tide]

I’m reborn as the Chongzhen Emperor, but I don’t have a golden finger. Isn’t that just forcing me to slack off?

Fine, then. I won’t kill Wei Zhongxian, and I won’t kill Yuan Chonghuan either.

The Donglin faction can scheme against itself all it likes. I won’t get involved. Whoever makes trouble gets wiped out.

Besides, it’s time to expand the imperial harem.

Wei Zhongxian’s adopted daughter? I’ll take her! Sun Chuanting’s daughter? I’ll make her a Noble Consort!

And my sister-in-law, Empress Zhang, the most beautiful woman in the Ming imperial harem? I’ll make sure to treat her right.

That’s all I can think of for now. Court is dismissed!

Wait, doesn’t history say the Chongzhen reign lasted only seventeen years?

Then why is the Ming still doing just fine twenty years after I started slacking off?
