He is probably the most unprofessional emperor in history.
After being bitten by mosquitoes all night, he immediately offered a reward of one hundred thousand taels for a recipe to repel mosquitoes.
The courtiers scolded him for being fatuous, but the people laughed heartily. This was the wealth that came from heaven.
Feeling that the dishes in the imperial dining room were all the same, he immediately held a gourmet competition by the Lingjiang River, with a reward of a hundred taels of silver for each dish.
The ministers scolded him for not doing his job properly and being a coward. Famous chefs from all over the world flocked to him, setting off a wave of gourmet food across the country.
It was too tiring to stay up late at night to criticize papers, so he simply recruited the six ministers, censors, and Hanlin scholars to form a "cabinet".
We cannot let the ministers go back early, go home to drink tea, listen to music, and sleep with their concubines in their arms! I could even chat with him in court the next day.
Do you think he is a fool? But every ridiculous thing he did, in the end, everyone in the world took advantage of it by mistake.
Do you think he is a wise king? No, he is really a fool. Everything he does just wants to eat well, wear well, and sleep well...
Not bad, the pace is a bit slower.
