In the fourteenth year of the Zhengtong reign, on the eve of the Battle of Tumu, a sky screen suddenly appeared, livestreaming two timelines side by side to all of the Great Ming. In one, the eunuch Wang Zhen goaded the emperor into personally leading a campaign, leading to the annihilation of two hundred thousand troops. In the other, Wang Zhen, a court scholar who refused to castrate himself, trained a new army with a System and overhauled the ledgers, forcibly steering the Great Ming toward an age of prosperity. The most unbearable part was the real Wang Zhen in the court. All he could do was watch helplessly alongside generations of emperors from the Zhu family as "he" brought about his own ruin. Flogging on the left, a demonstration on the right. After watching the sky screen, can this empire still be saved?
It's such a mess and I don't know what I'm talking about?
