Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, the "Carpenter Emperor" in the eyes of the world, had his soul wandering for five hundred years after his death. He watched the Ming Dynasty collapse, watched the Yangzhou Tenth and Jiading Three Massacres, and watched the sanctimonious "loyal ministers" shave their heads, change clothes, and kneel to welcome the new master.
Five hundred years of overwhelming hatred had wiped out all of his humanity. When he was seven years old again, looking at his cowardly father and negligent grandfather, he had only one thought in his mind: "In this life, it doesn't matter whether I live or not, but you must die."
On the surface, he is still the cowardly and incompetent imperial grandson who is addicted to carpentry; secretly, he pulls his grandfather Wanli and father Zhu Changluo, and three generations of his grandfather and grandson established a "rebel squad." Grandpa was working like crazy to make money as an angel investor in the court, and his father was acting as a shield in front of the stage. Behind the scenes, he used his 500-year-old omniscient perspective to run a escort agency, raise death soldiers, and engage in arms, turning the Ming Dynasty court upside down.
The "attack cases" and "red pill cases" in history happened as usual, but every crisis became a hunting moment for him to purge traitors. When the Donglin Party members thought they had ushered in a puppet emperor and were preparing to continue to control the court, Zhu Youxiao finally showed his bloody fangs.
He took out a "death list" that had been recorded for five hundred years and began the ultimate reckoning that was five hundred years late.
Reader comments
It looks good and acts resolutely, that's how it should be done.
This kind of protagonist is the kind of protagonist we should have. Before time travel, I was constrained by the Donglin Party and couldn't make any decisions. But after I traveled through time, I was still constrained by Donglin. Isn't it a waste of time to travel through time? Just develop like this, break their set of inherent rules first, and then make new ones.
