Late Ming: What Do You Mean Chongzhen Invited Ancestor Jiajing Out of Seclusion?

After transmigrating into the Jiajing Emperor, Zhu Houcong discovered that he had a cultivation panel. To pursue immortality, he went twenty years without attending court, allowing Yan Song to seize power and Hai Rui to risk death with his remonstrations, all while shouldering the blame of a thousand generations. At last, he faked his death, secluded himself beneath the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and watched the world change. Then, in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen’s reign, Li Zicheng’s army swept across the land, its spearhead aimed straight at the capital! The Manchus beyond the passes watched like tigers. The Ming Dynasty’s fate was sealed! At court, civil officials brought the nation to ruin, while military commanders feared death. With a white silk noose in hand, Zhu Youjian walked into the Imperial Ancestral Temple in despair. He wasn’t there to pray. He was there to curse! “Damn you, ancestors!” “Waaah… Great Ancestor Jiajing, you ruined the Ming Dynasty!” “If you hadn’t been obsessed with cultivating the Dao, the Ming would never have come to this! I hate it! I refuse to accept this!” Beneath the palace, Zhu Houcong’s brow twitched. “Which unfilial descendant is yelling up there? He nearly made me lose control of my cultivation!”
