After becoming a death row prisoner in the Jiajing Dynasty, Li Lang awakened the "entry system".
Above the court, Yan Song and his son had power over both the government and the public.
A clean gossip official, open his mouth to be benevolent and close his mouth to morality.
The emperor wanted an obedient dog, not a capable person.
Li Lang looked at the entries on the system panel——
[Eagle Vision and Wolf Vision: Shock Power +30, Loyalty Display]
[Thick Black Master: Face +50, immune to moral condemnation]
[Lonely minister's destiny: The emperor's trust +100, the favorability of all officials -999]
Li Lang realized it.
What a clique, what a clear stream, what a disciple's old ways.
In this Ming Dynasty, the only way to survive is to just hug the emperor's lap and be the first lonely minister.
So, on the day when hundreds of officials signed a petition for impeachment, Li Lang took off his official hat and sneered:
"My lord, I am willing to hand a sword to Your Majesty. This sword does not need friends."
Emperor Jiajing put down the alchemy book in his hand and looked at him with squinted eyes: "The civil and military officials in this dynasty want you to die. What do you say?"
Li Lang raised his head: "Then please, Your Majesty, let's see if it's their tough words or the sharpness of my sword."
The next day, the key members of the strict party were dismissed.
Three days later, the door of Liuke Langfang was closed.
A month later, Li Lang was released into Zhejiang, and three thousand Japanese pirates were killed.
Civil and military officials from all over the dynasty knelt outside the Meridian Gate and shouted in unison: "Li Lang is a traitor! He is causing harm to the country and the people!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Jiajing threw the memorial into the brazier and looked at Li Lang who was kneeling in front of him:
"They all call you a traitor, how can you defend yourself?"
Li Lang kowtowed, neither humble nor arrogant:
"I am your Majesty's lone minister."
Jiajing smiled: "Get up, my... First loyal dog."
