I transmigrated into Zhu Xiongying, Emperor Jianwu of the Ming dynasty.
In just twenty years since I transmigrated, the Ming dynasty swept across the six directions and unified the world.
Sigh, my grand ambitions are fulfilled, and there’s nothing left to do!
Just then, the Myriad Realms of the Void System suddenly appeared, taking me across time and space to the crumbling Ming dynasty at the end of its reign.
Li Zicheng is at the gates, and Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, has nowhere left to turn.
Zhu Xiongying: “I’ll help you repel the enemy and save the country. In return, give me all fifty million of your people.”
Zhu Youjian: “Ancestor, you can’t be serious! The whole country only has fifty million people. Even Li Zicheng isn’t this ruthless!”
Zhu Xiongying: “All right, then. Your ancestor should show some generosity. I don’t want the fifty million people on the registers. I only want the unregistered ones.”
Zhu Youjian was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
Months later, the officials counting the population reported in tears that there were actually two hundred million “unregistered people”!
Zhu Youjian: “Ancestor, you heartless man! You really set out to swindle your own descendants? Then you can forget about keeping your ancestral graves...”
Really poisonous 🙂
