The road is ruthless, and the coldest thing is the heart of an emperor; the elixir is blazing, and the hottest thing is the blood of all peoples.
A modern strategist who crashed in a plane traveled through time and became Zhu Houcong, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. When he opened his eyes, what he saw was not the end of the dynasty in the history books, but a Ming Dynasty with a resurrected spiritual energy - the fate of the country can be seen as golden dragon energy, the resentment of the people will condense into black evil mist, the struggle in the court is the fight of luck, and the frontier battlefield is the collision of Taoism and law.
But Zhu Houcong discovered that what he inherited was not only the throne, but also a forbidden inheritance, "The Great Way of the Imperial Golden Pill": using one's body as a furnace, the country as firewood, and luck as fire, to refine an immortal golden pill.
So he became the most contradictory "tyrant alchemist" in history:
· Allowing the strict party to disrupt the government's agenda, just to collect the "corruption and turbidity" as the "turbid medicine" for elixir;
· Allowing the White Lotus Sect to confuse people's hearts, just to refine the "power of incense and aspiration" and turn it into elixir fire;
· Sitting back and watching the Mongolian iron cavalry approaching the walls of Beijing, just to force out the most cutting-edge "military and murderous spirit" in the Ming Dynasty.
All the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were "medicinal materials": Yan Song was the "turbid medicine" that needed to be purified, Hai Rui was the "calm mirror" that tempered the Taoist heart, Qi Jiguang was the "martial fire" that forged craftsmen, and Zhang Juzheng was the "revolutionary tripod destiny" that determined the grade of elixirs.
When Zhu Houcong sat on the top of the Forbidden City, with the golden elixir spinning above his head and the map of the country and the country slowly unfolding under his feet, he faced the ultimate choice:
· The ruthless elixir: kill Zhang Juzheng, take away his destiny of reform, and immediately ascend to the ninth level, leaving behind a rapidly declining Ming Dynasty.
· The Way of the Holy King: Protecting Zhang Juzheng in completing the reform, but waiting for the qualitative change of the country's destiny for thirty years, but may miss the opportunity to ascend.
