After I Was Executed, Zhu Yuanzhang Slaughtered the Ming Officials

“Your Majesty, Li Changqing has been beheaded at the Meridian Gate!”

“Did he know what he did wrong?”

“He laughed before he died. He pronounced three blood curses that foretold the dynasty's downfall, saying that the civil officials would treat every future Ming emperor like a pig or a dog, leaving the imperial line extinct!”

Zhu Yuanzhang was just about to fly into a rage when the heavens shattered with a thunderous crash, and a vast sky screen descended over Yingtian Prefecture.

[The History of the Ming Dynasty's Fall: The God of War Who Begged to Be Let Through at Tumu Fortress, the Mystery of the Emperor Who Fell into the Water, the Donglin Faction Filling the Court with Worthies...]

Watching the sky screen show Zhu Yunwen, whom he had painstakingly raised, abolishing the fiefs and dying in a fire, and his descendants, including Zhu Houzhao, being poisoned by civil officials, while the Ming realm fell and the ministers lined up to surrender and welcome the invaders...

Old Zhu went mad! He stared at the hypocritical civil officials kneeling before him and drew the imperial sword. “Kill them! Kill every last one of these beasts! Let them join Li Changqing in death!”

Meanwhile, Li Changqing, already beheaded, reforged his divine body in a blaze of golden light and looked down at the Hongwu Emperor, who knelt and begged him to manifest.

“National Preceptor, please teach me how to save the Ming dynasty!”

Li Changqing sneered. “Abolish the Six Ministries, execute the hundred officials, and send every Ming prince overseas to establish new kingdoms!”
