My Father, Zhang Juzheng, Grand Secretary of the Ming

After being born into the body of Zhang Jingxiu with a construction System, he discovered that using the System came at a price: it would give Zhang Juzheng a vomiting-blood and weakness debuff. He slammed the System shut and immediately decided:

With money and free time, why not kick back and become a spoiled, spendthrift young master of the Ming Dynasty?

What he didn't know was that the moment he shut off the System, it activated Plan B: a live broadcast on the sky screen.

One day, as the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were heading home after court, they saw a glowing white screen appear in the sky.

[Hey, everyone! Good evening! Today, let's talk about the harm caused by the Wanli Emperor murdering his tutor: accelerating the Ming Dynasty's collapse, bringing further corruption to officialdom, draining the treasury once again, and letting the military fall into disrepair...]

Wanli, who had just ascended the throne at ten years old: ...

Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng, who had just said at court that he would teach the emperor to read: ...

The entire court: "!!!"

Short scene:

Zhang Jingxiu sat in a room brightened by newly installed glass windows, eating freshly baked sweet potatoes, deep in thought.

His family was supposed to be confiscated and punished, wasn't it?

Sorry, his father accidentally outlived Wanli.

P.S. This is a parallel universe, not a historical story.
