The Great Ming's Number One Heckler

Reborn as Li Wenzhong, Zhu Yuanzhang’s own nephew, he is bound to a “get stronger when you rile people up” System.

Faced with a court full of parasites, arrogant generals, and corrupt pedants, Li Wenzhong chooses the most outrageous way to teach them a lesson:

He chews out the censors before court, then confiscates estates and wipes out households afterward;

He turns the chancellor into a stand-up comedian and sends princes down the mines to dig coal;

He trains Lan Yu into a “little sidekick” and teaches the crown prince to “serve the people”;

He melts Buddhist statues to cast cannons and holds civil service exams on farming;

He pins a Japanese envoy to the ground with one hand in the Golden Hall, then crosses the sea to conquer a nation and seek freedom.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Bao'er, my treasury…

Li Wenzhong: Shut up and pay up!

Empress Ma: Where has my son gone to cause trouble now?

Li Wenzhong: Mother, I’ve brought you a life-extending pill!

Zhu Biao: Big brother, I don’t want to be emperor anymore!

Li Wenzhong: Swallow that, and remember: “Serve the people”!

When the civil and military officials are all driven to the brink, when his uncle fumes with imperial wrath, and when the people revere him like a god,

Li Wenzhong grins and pulls out a map of the lands beyond the sea:

“I’m done playing. This Great Ming needs a good beating!”

“Next stop: the stars and the sea!”
