I Have a Door That Can Take Me Anywhere

Six hundred years of the Great Ming. The founding emperor's testament: I, Zhu Chongba, received the mandate of Heaven above and followed the people's will below. I took the throne, began a new era, and founded my iron-blooded Great Ming, all thanks to a man named Li Yang from six hundred years in the future. That year, my entire family starved to death, leaving only me! He told me that a man called Zhu Chongba started with nothing but a bowl, yet became a beggar emperor, an emperor born of common stock, and founded the vast, iron-blooded Great Ming. He would be revered by posterity as a great ruler. Hearing that had my blood surging! The testament of Emperor Chengzu of Ming: That year, I set out to launch the Jingnan Campaign with only eight hundred men. To my surprise, my imperial father was among those eight hundred. At last, I believed Li Yang really had come from six hundred years in the future. The testament of Emperor Liezu of Ming: That year, I was prepared to hang myself at Coal Hill. Guess who I saw before I could do it? You know what happened after that. I routed Huang Taiji and Dorgon until they could only kneel before me and offer Empress Xiaozhuang. I also had my eight-year-old grandson, Xuanye, brought to the palace as a eunuch. Throughout the six hundred years of the Great Ming, Li Yang's influence could be found everywhere. Yet only the testaments of the Ming emperors record that a man from six hundred years in the future helped establish the vast, iron-blooded Great Ming, which endured for six hundred years.
