Great Ming: Prison Secrets Leaked, and Chongzhen Collapsed Against the Wall

"Pacify Liaodong in five years? Ha! Yuan Chonghuan was just feeding you, you gullible fool, a line!" "In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng will enter the capital, and Zhu Youjian's fate will be to hang himself from a crooked-neck tree on Coal Hill!" After transmigrating into the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxu was completely at a loss. The hotheaded fellow who'd transmigrated here before him had not only tried to assassinate ministers and flirted with Empress Zhang Yan, but had also thoroughly offended Chongzhen! Now locked up on death row and facing certain doom, Zhu Youxu could only chat and shoot the breeze with Wei Zhongxian in the imperial prison, casually revealing the future. But he never imagined that in the secret chamber next door, separated by just one wall, the newly enthroned Chongzhen was eavesdropping with the Embroidered Uniform Guard! "Natural disasters will strike Shaanxi, refugees will rise up everywhere, and rebellion will break out next month!" Chongzhen flew into a rage. "You're spreading lies to deceive the people!" Ten days later, an urgent report from Shaanxi arrived in the capital at full speed. The emperor's hands began to shake! "The Jurchens will circle around through Xifengkou. The capital region will be placed under martial law!" Chongzhen slammed the table and leapt to his feet. "Utter nonsense!" A month later, flames of war lit up Beijing, and the emperor completely lost it! Chongzhen slipped into the imperial prison in the middle of the night, weeping bitterly. "Imperial brother, please stop! Is there any hope left for this empire?!" Zhu Youxu chuckled. "Want to save the Ming Dynasty? Give me half the imperial treasury, and let me go govern a fief in the South Seas. I guarantee the Ming Dynasty peace for ten thousand generations!" Chongzhen: "Done! Will ten treasure ships and five hundred thousand taels from the imperial treasury be enough?"
