Chu Yunlan, a top strategist who was involved in life and death and died suddenly from overwork in his previous life, was reborn as a marginalized and sick prince of the Great Chu Dynasty when he opened his eyes!
The lessons of blood and tears in his previous life taught him: a struggle for power will lead to a narrow escape from death. In this life, he just wants to lie down and be a free and wealthy king, far away from the center of imperial power.
However, when he began to "lay flat"——
In order to avoid seizing the heir, he pretended to be ill and sold himself out, but unexpectedly gained the emperor's mercy and trust, becoming the "safety card" least likely to be suspected!
In order not to participate in the government affairs, he deliberately "talked nonsense", but he always managed to get it right, and accidentally solved the problems that had troubled the court for many years. He was regarded as a hidden master with "the pearl of wisdom"!
In order not to take over the military power, he regarded military training as a leisure activity. As a result, he led a "fishing special forces" who only listened to his orders and had explosive combat effectiveness!
When the other princes were fighting with each other and suffered numerous casualties, Chu Yunlan discovered that he, the most "uncontested" prince, had become the only heir to the throne!
"I really don't want to be an emperor, I just want to lie down!"
Facing the civil and military officials of the dynasty kneeling down to worship him, Chu Yunlan looked hopeless. From a reborn person who just wanted to be a salted fish, to a mastermind who manipulated the imperial power in his hands, and was finally forced to ascend the throne as emperor. He used his personal experience to prove that in the face of absolute "flatness", all imperial power will become ridiculous!
