In the eleventh year of the Li Dynasty, the treacherous minister Lin Mo finally died, sent to the afterlife by a cup of poisoned wine from the current emperor, Xie Yantang.
On the night Lin Mo died, Xie Yantang was reborn on the day of his accession to the throne. In his previous life, he had trusted the wrong people, and the court had become corrupt and decayed. This time, he would nip every threat in the bud ahead of time.
First on the list was the unprecedentedly treacherous minister, Lin Mo.

Lin Xiaomo had just transmigrated from the modern world and was in the middle of the coronation ceremony. Standing below the court, waiting to hear his fate, he stared at the decisive ruler before him and was dumbfounded. Are they filming a TV drama?
Just then, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind: [Host, please ask to retire to your hometown, enjoy your twilight years, and go home to farm.]
In his confusion, Lin Xiaomo dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face. “Your Majesty, I beg you to let me retire to my hometown.”
Xie Yantang: What's going on?
Xie Yantang had been about to punish him, but then a strange voice came to his ears: [Host, please cooperate.]
Xie Yantang: Do you think I'm afraid of you? This criminal is going to die today, no matter what!
System: [If you fail the task, you'll be trapped in an endless loop.]
After the eleventh attempt, Xie Yantang gave in and said with a pained expression, “Granted.”

But the emperor couldn't understand why, while he spent his nights reviewing memorials, he would spend the rest of his time traveling to that treacherous minister's home to help with the farm!!!
That minister had embezzled tens of thousands of taels in his previous life, so why was he so poor this time?
His Imperial Majesty had to use an outdoor latrine, eat coarse food, and sleep on a wooden plank.
Xie Yantang was furious. “I'll execute your entire clan!”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaomo thought of the bloodsucking relatives at home and beamed. “Your Majesty, please do! Please do!”
Xie Yantang: “?” He had never met anyone so eager to die.
In a daze, he heard Lin Xiaomo say again, “Your Majesty, please grant me the honor of executing my entire clan, down to the tenth degree!”
All his relatives knelt as one. “Your Majesty, we are innocent!”
