I woke up as Emperor Renzong of Song, a puppet ruler who was crushed from the start by the powerful chancellor and the Empress Dowager. I was on the verge of being deposed!
What should I do?
Don’t panic. The Treacherous Minister Simulator System has activated!
The powerful chancellor Lü Yijian is a seasoned schemer? I’ll load the Way of Qin Hui and use your own schemes to slap you in the face! I’ll make you beg me on your knees for an alliance!
The treasury is empty and the army’s funds are running low? I’ll unlock the Way of Heshen, manipulate prices in the capital, and take all the wealth under heaven for myself! The commissioner of the Three Financial Agencies will weep as he calls me the God of Wealth!
The officials across the court curse me as a tyrant, yet they have to kneel and beg me for money and grain.
The people call me a mad king, never knowing that every decision I make will extend the Song dynasty’s reign by another hundred years!
They all think I’m a foolish ruler who knows nothing but political machinations. Little do they know that, in the name of a treacherous minister, I’m doing the work of a sage king.
This Song dynasty is mine to rule!
Quite interesting.
