Lin Mu, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled through time during a field trip to the Tumubao ruins and became Zhu Qiyu, King of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the flames of war on August 15, the 14th year of Zhengtong, had just begun - 500,000 Ming troops were wiped out, Yingzong was captured, and the Oala cavalry approached the capital.
He was familiar with the history that followed: he would ascend the throne at the critical moment, win the battle to defend Beijing, and implement reforms. However, eight years later, he would be imprisoned until his death by Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others who launched the "Seize the Gate Rebellion". But this time, he doesn't plan to make the same mistake again.
From the thrilling power play in the court hall to the bloody life-and-death battle in front of the Desheng Gate; from pushing forward tax reform and reorganizing armaments against all opinions, to smashing the conspiracy to seize the door in the darkness of the palace - this soul from the 21st century must use knowledge and wisdom beyond the times to fight a way out in the turbulent waves of six hundred years ago.
What he wants to change is not only the fate of a person, but also the trajectory of a dynasty sliding into the abyss.
Ming Dynasty Jingtai, who controls the world? With one person's wisdom, he can save the world from danger.
