In the seventeenth year of the Jianzhao era, the late emperor died suddenly. I was deposed and made a commoner at the age of three, then scraped by in the Cold Palace for eighteen years!
Every day, I was given a bowl of calming soup. It turned out to contain a slow-acting dose of arsenic, and I had only three years left to live!
The Imperial Empire System awakened in my hour of need!
I can use history to foresee and evade deadly traps, unlock technology to strengthen the realm, summon great ministers to govern the land, and amass empire points to ascend the throne!
I expose poison plots and strike down corrupt eunuchs, recruit loyal fighters and build a power base, then rise from the brink of ruin in the northern frontier. My star forts and firearms sweep the Northern Barbarians away!
A false emperor usurps the throne? I will purge the court and restore the rightful line!
Powerful clans monopolize authority? I will establish new schools and break their stranglehold!
The four seas are still unsettled? I will lead the navy to conquer the eastern islands and expand into the Western Regions!
From a deposed crown prince in the Cold Palace to the founding emperor of the Tianqi dynasty!
In this life, I will command the world, secure the realm, and build an age of prosperity that lasts ten thousand years!
1. The chapters are scattered and the author doesn't even have basic history. How dare a Dongchang eunuch call himself me??? 2. Xiao Jingyuan, King of Anbei, asked Jamel Xiao to be named King of Anbei. Do you think the author is right?
