Great Ming: I’m Slacking Off, and My Dad Is Hu Weiyong

Self-degradation my foot! Isn't that just courting death? You want your father to die already? The protagonist is nothing; even if he's completely corrupted, it won't change anything. At this point, the focus should be on finding a way to clean things up, not handing the emperor leverage. Self-degradation is about reducing the emperor's perception of you. Once suspicion arises, it's all for naught.

If you give up, I'll give up too. I'm not watching anymore, let's see what you do to me.

Not rebelling meant certain death; there was no other way to break the deadlock except to flee overseas with your family to places like Japan or Southeast Asia to eke out a living. Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless and ungrateful; no matter how many merits or roles you had, in his eyes you were still a slave of the Zhu family. Useless, just give up.

No matter how you write it, it's a death sentence. If this could lead to survival, how low would Zhu Yuanzhang's IQ be? Either run away.

Holy crap, isn't the Hu Weiyong case the one where ten generations of his family were executed?! With the extermination of that entire family, the literary spirit of the Ming Dynasty was largely destroyed. I don't understand what it means from the unofficial histories. Can some history expert explain it to me? I really love history!

The male protagonist should run away quickly; rebellion is impossible. Let me tell you, the military generals in the early Ming Dynasty were all die-hard fans of Zhu Yuanzhang. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, the Ming Dynasty could not be overthrown.

Hu Weiyong's situation... Is likely a dead end. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's very nose, he knows exactly what positions you and your wife use at night. Moreover, Hu Weiyong's case involves a struggle between the power of the prime minister and the imperial power, and there's no room for compromise.

If I were the protagonist, to survive, I would arrange for my loyal servants to spend a year doing business (going to sea), then a year earlier, I would escape by ship, leaving a message saying the world is so big and I want to go out and see it. Like in the book, there's no way I'd make Old Zhu lay down his sword.

Even if you're Hu Weiyong's son, you can still fawn over Zhu De. How servile must you be? Do you really think they'll let you off the hook?

What was this author thinking? He's deliberately smearing himself in front of Lao Zhu; he's practically handing a knife to his wounds.
