[No system + historical imagination + single female protagonist + Machiavellian strategy + funny contrast]
Lu Zheng, a graduate student in Ming history in the 21st century, opened his eyes and traveled to the 18th year of Hongwu, when officials were ruthlessly killed.
In this "hell-like workplace" where people are skinned and stripped every day, Lu Zheng has only one goal: to fail! Return home! Surrender!
In order to safely fail the examination, he wrote a shocking "waste paper" in the imperial examination room: "All officials don't need brains. Your Majesty, you can do all the work alone!"
He thought he would be kicked out of Yingtian Mansion, but Zhu Yuanzhang was ecstatic after seeing it: "This guy understands me! He is simply the most loyal minister in the Ming Dynasty, please promote me!"
As a result, Lu Zheng was forcibly thrown into the most terrifying powder keg of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and faced the "Guo Huan Case" that was about to implicate tens of thousands of people and embezzle 24 million taels of gold.
Lu Zheng collapsed: "Lao Zhu! Please approve my resignation! I really don't want to be punished by the Nine Clan!"
All civil and military officials in the dynasty thought that the new official, who was greedy for life and fearful of death, would not survive more than three days.
However, in order to save his head, Lu Zheng was forced to use the trump cards of modern historical research: four-pillar inventory, cross-reference, and mutual protection...
As long as I kill all the corrupt officials, no one can kill me!
Many years later, all the nations of the Ming Dynasty came to the dynasty, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The heroine Su Qingning looked at the man who was making waves in the court with gentle eyebrows.
Lu Zheng, holding the 108th unapproved resignation letter, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I really just wanted to go home and farm the land. How could I become the first minister of the Ming Dynasty?"
