In the seventh year of the Tianqi reign, Emperor Xizong died, and a soul from several centuries in the future transmigrated into Zhu Youjian, the young emperor who had just ascended the throne.
The Later Jin watched from beyond the passes, border troops went unpaid, refugees rose up everywhere, and the central treasury was empty.
The entire court was waiting for him to kill Wei Zhongxian.
Kill Wei Zhongxian? Who told you I was going to kill Wei Zhongxian? What I need right now is silver!
He tossed the memorials aside. "How much silver is left in the state treasury?"
Not one person in the entire court could answer.
Then investigate!
Gentry in Jiangnan conceal farmland to evade taxes? Kill them!
The Beijing garrison claims pay for nonexistent soldiers and bleeds the troops dry? Kill them!
The Donglin faction accuses me of competing with the people for profit?
Then I'll make your heads roll first!
I will make the Ming great again!
I will make all nations come to pay homage to the Ming!
Not bad👍👍
