Great Ming: After a Hundred Remonstrations to the Death, Old Zhu Finally Lost It

Li Ming, a researcher of Ming Dynasty history, loved Zhu Yuanzhang most and hated to see the Ming Dynasty fall.

One day, he woke up and activated the Death Memorial System, which let him create countless consciousness avatars in a parallel world.

Censors, civil officials, military officers, schoolteachers, coal sellers, courtesans... Anyone among the countless people could be him.

The first time, he was Zhao Han, a censor who pleaded with Zhu Yuanzhang to abolish burial sacrifices. He was beaten to death at Meridian Gate. Old Zhu awoke in the middle of the night. “That man was right!” The next day, he issued an edict permanently abolishing the practice.

The second time, he was Qian Suanpan, a low-ranking official in the Ministry of Revenue who pleaded for a nationwide land survey. He was imprisoned and sentenced to death. Zhu Biao presented his final memorial with tears in his eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table. “These parasites nearly hollowed out my empire!”

The third time, he was Sun Dapao, a hundred-man commander on the frontier who pleaded for a northern campaign against the Mongols. He died in battle beyond the northern frontier. Xu Da returned to court with his bloodstained letter, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally inscribed his tombstone: “This was a true censor of my realm!”

The fourth time, he was...

The fifth time, he was...

By the hundredth time, who he was no longer mattered. What mattered was this:

The Japanese pirates in the east had been wiped out.

The Mongols in the north had been crushed.

Timur in the west had knelt.

Jiaozhi in the south had been reclaimed.
