My name is Lin Yichen, a graduate student in the Department of History.
When I woke up, I became Emperor Hongzhi.
Good news: I know the direction of the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years by heart.
Bad news: It is now the 23rd year of Chenghua, and the national treasury only has 80,000 taels left.
The cabinet emptied out my right to approving red papers, saying, "Your Majesty is young, and I will do the work for you."
The Superintendent of Ceremonies smiled and handed over a bowl of medicine, which was mixed with slow poison.
My cousin Wantong controls the inner treasury in the palace, and even I have to give him a nod to eat an egg.
In the court hall, all civil and military officials knelt on the ground and called "Your Majesty the Holy Ming"——
But no one listened to me.
They thought I was a seventeen-year-old puppet.
They don't know that I have in mind what will happen to each of them.
Zhang Min? You will be dismissed from office after three years.
Wantong? I remember the list of your house searches.
The little Tartar prince? Your tactics are a joke in my eyes
From now on, use the history of the Ming Dynasty as a chess piece and the emperor as a blade.
Overthrow the powerful ministers, eliminate the traitors, and revive the Ming Dynasty!
