The last emperor of the Ming dynasty takes it easy, not by skipping court or spending his days carving wood, but by wielding the supreme imperial power granted by Heaven however he pleases, with a reign meant to endure forever!
A soldierly PhD transmigrates into the body of Chongzhen, and from the start he's in hell mode. At home, the eunuch faction abuses its power; outside, rebels run amok; to the north, the Tartars lie in wait. Worst of all, in seventeen years he'll hang himself at Coal Hill!
Zhu Youjian sprang to his feet and slammed the table. "To hell with ruling diligently and all those restrictions on personally running the government! I'm done with it!"
Ding! The Last Emperor's Lie-Flat Longevity System rewards its Host with the Son of Heaven's Qi-Reading Art!
At one glance, he saw through Wei Zhongxian: "A cowardly old dog who clings to life!"
At one glance, he saw through the Donglin Party: "Their mouths are full of benevolence and morality, but their bellies are full of lechery and vice!"
Zhu Youjian smiled. Since that was the case, the Ming dynasty's reform would begin with "letting things fall apart and lying flat"!
He summoned Sun Chuanting's two daughters to the palace. His reason: "I want to enjoy myself!"
He claimed his sister-in-law, Zhang Yan, and ordered her to wash up and wait for him in Kunning Palace. His reason: "My woman can only live in Kunning Palace!"
He slaughtered the Donglin Party. His reason: "My sister-in-law was wronged. I'm unhappy, so someone has to die!"
The court was stunned. This new ruler was no benevolent Prince of Xin. He was a deranged tyrant, even more of a lecher than Cao Cao!
Zhu Youjian: "Don't ask. It's just an emperor's exclusive way of taking it easy! I only want to live carefree until my natural death, while turning the Ming dynasty upside down along the way..."
But when Li Zicheng and Hong Taiji entered the pass, they were shocked to find themselves surrounded by an army of a million women guards, armed to the teeth, watching the two forces fight like beasts trapped in a cage!
I, the Son of Heaven, will never be an emperor who guards the gates of the realm. I will lie flat, enjoy life, and pursue longevity, until I reclaim the supreme status of the Human Emperor, the Nine-Nines Sovereign!
