I Am a Master of Management

I became the most miserable puppet emperor in history. After sitting on the throne for three years, I have never seen what the memorial looks like. The powerful ministers rejected the imperial edict, the Queen Mother approved state affairs behind the curtain, and the vassal king called me by my name in the memorial. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty thought that I was just a mascot with a seal. Until that morning, I smiled and promulgated the first decree: "Trial Measures for Implementing the Six-part Performance Appraisal and the Last Elimination System." The powerful minister sneered: "Your Majesty, do you know what government affairs are?" I nodded and spread out the organizational chart I had drawn up overnight on the dragon desk: "Ai Qing, do you know that out of the thirteen ministers under your sect, seven of them have empty titles and are paid empty wages, three of them blame each other, and only three of them are actually working?" The whole hall was filled with dead silence. That's just the beginning. When the Queen Mother wanted to appoint a relative, I respectfully presented the "Official Promotion Flow Chart" - seventy-two approval procedures, which would be enough for her to wait until the beginning of next spring. When the feudal lord asked for military pay, I introduced the "Budget System Implementation Rules" - every tael of silver required twenty signatures. They gradually discovered that: the circulation of memorials was slow, personnel appointments and removals were stuck, and even the minutes of conspiracy meetings would appear on my desk on time. It turns out that the real power does not lie in the jade seal, but in the process. Now, the three forces are still fighting for the throne they thought was vacant. Little did he know that the entire court had already turned into a sophisticated machine designed by me. And I am the only programmer.
