[Comedy for the laughs + reverse jinxing + scheming humor + driving Old Zhu crazy]
In the first year of Hongwu, Empress Ma fell gravely ill and lapsed into a coma. Zhu Yuanzhang angrily drew his executioner's blade: “If you can't save my little sister, I'll have the entire Imperial Medical Academy skinned alive!”
Lin Xuan, who had transmigrated into the body of an imperial physician, panicked. At this critical moment, he awakened the [Bare-Minimum System].
He thought he could defy fate, but the System turned out to be useless:
[For the rest of your life, Host can claim only one copper coin a day. Every investment will fail, every bet will be lost, and everything you say will be wrong!]
Seeing that the System couldn't be trusted, Lin Xuan decided to roll with it. Pointing at the imperial bed, he let loose a tirade:
“Your Majesty! Her Highness is on her last legs. She'll certainly die today!”
He actually angered Empress Ma awake!
Old Zhu was left gaping in shock!
From then on, the Ming dynasty had a bizarrely gifted jinx master, and the entire empire went completely off the rails!
A severe drought struck Jiangnan, and the officials were at a loss. Lin Xuan threw on a ragged robe and performed a rain dance: “Wai bi ba bu! Rain from the heavens? Not a drop will fall in the next three days!”
The moment he finished speaking, thunder cracked in the clear sky, and rain poured down!
When teaching the princes, others taught the Four Books and Five Classics. Lin Xuan took Zhu Biao and Zhu Di to roast sweet potatoes and splash around in water, insisting that rebellion was perfectly reasonable!
In short, the Ming dynasty can prosper, but Old Zhu has to cry!
Years later, white-haired Zhu Yuanzhang took the Crown Prince aside and lectured him earnestly:
“Biao'er, when Imperial Preceptor Lin speaks, you must listen to the exact opposite!”
“And one more thing! Never make the Imperial Preceptor angry. If he ever says a couple of nice things about the Ming dynasty, our family really won't be able to afford the consequences!”
It's just beautiful and a lot of fun!!!
