[Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms] [Scheming little genius] [Court intrigue and power struggles] [Zhao Kuangyin] [Li Yu]
A seven-year-old body, the heart of an emperor who has lived a thousand years! Zhao Kuangyin wants to seize the throne? I’ll hit him with a little “moral blackmail” first!
• The Chenqiao Mutiny? I’ll open the city gates, call out “Uncle Zhao” in my baby voice, give him a decree of amnesty, and erect a monument to his merit. I’ll make rebellion feel like a burning-hot proposition!
• He wants to take control of the army? I’ll use an “epidemic” as an excuse to isolate his elite Palace Command troops outside the city, then bring my uncle Li Chongjin into the capital. Just like that, Zhao Kuangyin will be left with no troops of his own!
• He wants to send hostages? I’ll bring his son Zhao Dezhao into the palace as a “playmate.” By day, I’ll make him tend the fire and brew liquor; by night, I’ll have him do frog jumps as punishment. Then I’ll make Zhao Kuangyin kowtow and thank me!
[The crushing advantage of making money through farming and trade]
• The treasury is empty? No problem! I have distillation technology! Once “Drunken Immortal Brew” hits the market, Southern Tang’s literati will go wild for it. One jar of liquor can be traded for ten carts of grain!
• Want luxury goods? “Luoshen Dew” perfume makes a spectacular debut, and wealthy ladies from Wuyue trade entire chests of jewels for it. One bottle is worth a fortune!
• Li Yu as an influencer? One letter and one jar of fine wine turn Li Yu, the Sixth Prince of Southern Tang, into Great Zhou’s top supporter. He sends money and grain, and even advertises for me for free!
This is the story of a scheming emperor disguised as an adorable child. He uses “the unfiltered words of a child” to make ministers cry in court, while secretly plotting every move, making a fortune, and building a rich and powerful nation.
Watch how seven-year-old Chai Zongxun plays the game of power, gets the better of warlords, and rebuilds the Great Zhou into a peaceful and prosperous realm amid the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms!
It's good-looking, fun, and interesting. The character of the Little Emperor is full of fun. There is no common system, but it adds more realism.
Very well written, good luck to the author
