Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty: Those Years When I Pretended to Be a Coward

Traveled through the Ming Dynasty and became the Zhengde Emperor. Good news: remember that you live three lives. Bad news: Civil and military officials throughout the dynasty are teaching him how to be a grandson. Thunder struck the palace, causing him to issue an edict to sin against himself. The Taoist official knelt at the door and accused him of being ridiculous and immoral. Jiao Fang wrote the memorial faster than he woke up, saying that he favored his servants, neglected his studies, and ignored the government. He sat on the threshold and read a book. After listening to the impeachment, he only asked: "Who asked you to write this memorial?" On the day of the enthronement ceremony, he opened his crown and looked around at the hundreds of faces in the audience: "The accounts from the inner treasury will be sent to Qianqing Palace tomorrow." Later historians wrote this paragraph, saying that the emperor changed his old attitude and acted decisively. Only Zhu Houzhao knew it - he just didn't want to be a foolish king led by others again.
