Daming: the Throne Is for You, the Debt and the Cavalry Are Mine

The new emperor cut off the vassal vassal, the imperial envoys suppressed the border, and the old prince of Zhenbei was dying. The eldest son knelt down and handed over power. The 30,000 Zhenbei cavalry and the 140,000 Liaodong frontier troops were given away. When the veteran generals in the hall were speechless with grief and anger, Gu Chengyuan, a concubine dressed in broken armor, calmly walked into the White Tiger Festival Hall and threw out a secret book—— The palace owes a debt of three million taels. According to Ming Dynasty law, the eldest son who ascends to the throne must first bear the debt! The eldest brother was paralyzed on the spot, but he changed the topic: You take the throne, but I will bear the debt. I, Gu Chengyuan, asked me to become a naturalized citizen. I don't need a penny, but only these three million bad debts, which no one wants, and the Zhenbei cavalry, which cannot be paid. The imperial court thought it had gotten rid of a burden, but unexpectedly it released a monster with its own hands—— He changed his craftsmanship, dug coal and iron, dried refined salt, and issued bonds. Within a year, the palace went bankrupt and became a steel giant outside Shanhaiguan; The magical arrow chariot fired thousands of arrows, the pure steel pagoda crushed the prairie wolf cavalry, and the heads of 3,000 Tartars were sent to Beijing, making the whole court lose its voice. The former Jin Yiwei assassin held the sword for him, the daughter of Hui merchants managed his finances, and the prairie princess guarded the border for him. Waiting until the day when natural disasters broke out in the pass and the national treasury bottomed out, Gu Chengyuan stood on the side wall with his sword pressed and looked southward coldly: "The world couldn't tolerate me back then, so I left on my own. Now, it's my turn to come back and flip the table."
