[Serious subversion + multi-perspective comedy + vivid group portraits + intensive reversals]
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the treasury was empty.
Zhu Youjian was so poor that he wanted to melt all the palace bronzes to raise money for payment.
There are natural disasters and bandits inside, there are wolf ambitions to build slaves outside, the civil servants in the court form cliques for personal gain, and black-hearted businessmen smuggle and make it difficult for the country to make money.
Is there still a beginning to this collapse?
A modern "dabbler" amateur history enthusiast, after his soul transformed into the 14-year-old prince Zhu Cihong, he will tell you through his actions:
Yes!
No money?
What are the rules then? As long as I'm watching you, I'll check it directly!
Hard work? You can dance around a lot, but I will uproot you later!
Are there more and more bandits being suppressed?
Simple!
Let the ruthless vassal king Tang Wang Zhu Yujian be released from the high wall, forcefully rectify the vassal kings everywhere, raise food and pay to appease the refugees, and cut off his foundation!
The civil servant class relied on their disciples and old officials to evade the imperial power?
Funny! No matter how many of you there are, are there as many people as the Ming Dynasty?
This prince mobilized the common people at the bottom and went from house to house to pick out corrupt officials and parade them through the streets! You talk to me about morality, and I will fight with you about martial virtue and transform into a scavenger of the Ming Dynasty!
Is Jiannu invincible in the field?
Who is still playing the same old tricks with you!
This prince's elite battalion of flintlock rifles is specially selected to attack at dark nights, heavy rains, and foggy days, and I will give you a schizophrenia first! Let you try the power of the Ming army with full pay again!
I, Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang, take action!
All the little ones in the world are waiting for me!
Be honest and don't make me go crazy. If I go crazy, I'll even scare myself!
The pace is fast and never boring, taking you through a very unusual journey of the Crown Prince breaking through!
Good, good, good
