I Became Emperor During the Jiajing Dynasty

"Records of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty" records: On the fifth day of August in the sixteenth year of Jiajing, the emperor's fifth son was born and died on the same day. What remains unfinished in the history books is that he survived. Zhu Zaiyuan, the fifth son of the emperor, was granted the title of King Ying. In his previous life, he was a 41-year-old lover of Ming history and an official within the system. He remembered the death of Prince Hui on March 17, the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, the Gengxu Revolution, the downfall of Yan Song, the death of King Jing, and the death of Jiajing—he remembered every step of this dynasty in the next forty-five years. But he can't change it. He couldn't stop the prince's death. This was the first lesson for a time traveler. So he lived his life with two faces: in politics, he was a slow and pedantic bookish prince, and everyone thought he was harmless; in knowledge, he was early and sharp, and his discussion of classics and studies amazed the Hanlin - hiding his clumsiness in politics, and revealing his talents in learning. For eighteen years, he studied and made money at the same time. Save a eunuch, protect a petty official, recruit a hundred households, and cultivate a network of people. Others thought he was studying, but in fact he was playing a game of chess. In the winter of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, Jiajing died. The imperial edict was drafted by Xu Jie, and King Yu was expected to return. But Zhu Zaiyuan won - not by soldiers, not by blood, but by blocking the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, controlling the gate of the imperial city, holding an imperial seal, and those four words that all the scholars in the world have heard of: Ying Wang Xian. He never wanted more than the throne. What he wants is: use my knowledge to correct the world.
