Reborn as Zhang Juzheng: This Time, I Will Keep My Family Safe

[Ming Dynasty Grand Secretary] [Zhang Juzheng] [Teams up with Feng Bao to keep the emperor in line] [Tears Prince of Liao to shreds] [Buries Yan Song alive] [Makes Gao Gong cry with a trap] [Turns the mourning leave debacle into a counterattack] [Leaves Wanli speechless] [Qi Jiguang is under my protection] [Later Jin? Japanese pirates? Not a chance]

A top Peking University graduate was watching the TV series The Wind Rises: Zhang Juzheng when he accidentally transmigrated into Zhang Juzheng. The moment he opened his eyes, he faced the first deadly crisis of his life: the Prince of Liao came smiling with a cup of poisoned wine. The history books said that if he drank it, his grandfather would die; if he refused, his whole family was finished!

Zhang Juzheng: Thanks, but you can save that wine for your own funeral offerings!

From then on, the Ming court gained a “prophet.”

While Xu Jie was still pretending to be a nobody, Zhang handed him a script for bringing down Yan Song.

While Gao Gong was still gloating, Zhang had already dug a pit to bury him in.

While Qi Jiguang was still tending to his horses, Zhang sent him a military treatise with a note: Follow me, and I'll make sure you get a good ending!

The Prince of Liao tries to come after him? Zhang counters with the full package: dethronement and house arrest.

Censors try to impeach him? Zhang turns the mourning-leave affair into a face-slapping comeback and sends them all to the frontier to write self-criticisms.

Wanli wants to settle the score? Sorry, I've filled in every pit before retiring!

In this life, Zhang Juzheng doesn't just want to be a powerful minister. He wants to be the Ming Dynasty's only grand secretary to meet a good end.

Follow me, and you'll rise through the ranks. Cross me, and grass will grow over your grave.

Japanese pirates? Later Jin? Get lost!

See how a reborn mastermind plans every move, turns a hopeless game into a winning hand, and extends the Ming Dynasty's fortunes for more than three hundred years!
