In his previous life, he was Zhu Houzhao, the notorious Ming Emperor Wuzong. During his sixteen years on the throne, he acted on a whim and indulged in pleasure, allowing the Ming dynasty to decline until he died alone in the Leopard House at just thirty-one, leaving behind an infamous legacy.
But Heaven favored the Ming! Reborn, he returned to the beginning of his reign at fifteen. This time, armed with the experience of an emperor and five centuries of historical knowledge from his previous life, he faced a dynasty beset by internal strife and foreign threats, eunuchs abusing their power, and relentless border conflicts. He was determined to cast off his image as a foolish ruler once and for all! He would cleanse the court, reform the realm, and turn the tide, vowing to usher in an unprecedented golden age, restore the glory of the sun and moon, and bring all nations to pay tribute!
At the morning court, Liu Jian and the other senior ministers anxiously reported minor trouble on the frontier. The young emperor Zhu Houzhao smiled faintly, his gaze blazing as it swept over several trembling eunuchs in the hall. Then he spoke in a low voice:
“Minor trouble on the frontier is nothing to worry about. What concerns me more are the ‘vermin’ entrenched in the court, gnawing away at the foundations of the state, and the ‘sources of wealth’ they keep hidden from view!”
At his words, the throne hall fell silent. The air seemed to freeze. Everyone was stunned by the new ruler’s thunderous methods and astonishing insight.
“I will rewrite the history of the Ming. There will not be a single inch of this realm where loyalty is absent, nor a single inch of territory that does not belong to us!”
The young emperor’s words rang out with force. His imperial authority descended in an instant, striking fear into all around him!
There are too many flaws, too silly
Pretending to be mysterious and not knowing what is meant
Pull the hips Pull the hips Pull the hips
