In the 28th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, the Crown Prince died, leaving the position of heir apparent vacant. The struggle between Yu and Jing involved the lives, honors, and disgrace of countless people. On one side was Prince Yu, Zhu Zaiji, who held the position of eldest son and had a court full of upright officials. In accordance with ancestral rules, he was regarded by the literati as the rightful heir apparent. Meanwhile, Prince Jing, Zhu Zaizhen, had the support of Grand Secretary Yan Song, whose protégés and former officials were pushing for him to become the Crown Prince in order to perpetuate the power of Yan's faction. At this time, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong were still in the Hanlin Academy, while Hu Zongxian, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Zhao Zhenji, and Hai Rui had not yet risen to high positions. The overall situation of the country was still uncertain, and the integrity of these renowned officials had not yet been revealed. The Jiajing Emperor, obsessed with immortality, merely lowered his eyes and cast a cold, scrutinizing gaze upon the smoke rising from the alchemical furnace in the Western Garden.

He rashly provokes border conflicts, gaining vast tracts of useless land; he suppresses prominent families, ruining the hopes of the five noble clans. This is intolerable!"

I humbly beseech Your Majesty to favor the virtuous and distance yourself from the wicked, so as to set the record straight!"

Curator note

In 1627, during the Ming Dynasty, pig iron cost 9 wen per jin, wheat cost 0.7 Liang per shi, and millet cost 0.5 Liang per shi. In 1627, the central government's tax revenue was approximately 10 million taels of silver plus 4 million shi of grain. Local revenues, including corvée labor tax, militia tax, village head tax, and post station tax, amounted to approximately 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver per county. In 1627, the population of the Ming Dynasty was approximately 150 to 200 million, far from the 400 million of the Qing Dynasty. Large tracts of land in Beizhili, Henan, and Shandong were left uncultivated, while Huguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan were far from reaching their development limits. In 1627, after three consecutive years of favorable weather, Shaanxi finally experienced a slight drought. Overall, the south experienced slight flooding, while the north experienced slight drought; large-scale natural disasters had not yet begun. In 1627, just one year after the ascension of the Later Jin Taiji to the throne, he alleviated the famine in his homeland by attacking Korea. However, this also made the Fourth Prince Amin, who was in charge of the invasion of Korea, too powerful to be controlled, and the situation of the four princes jointly ruling seemed unbreakable. So, what exactly caused such a perfect start to lead to utter collapse? So, how difficult would it be for a time traveler to turn the tide when they arrive at this point in time? Is it really true, as many people say, that the Ming Dynasty in 1627 was already on the verge of collapse and beyond saving? —If you also have questions, why not join this large-scale historical simulation game that is entirely based on real historical materials? To date, this paper references 531 academic papers, 7,188 Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) after the eighth year of the Wanli reign, and 4,657 Juren (successful candidates in the provincial imperial examinations) whose biographies can be found.

At that very moment, a pair of eyes from the future slowly opened. "The Han dynasty is in decline, the court is in disarray, and the whole world is in chaos."

The character has two meanings: first, to expand; second, to clarify. During the Eastern Jin and Sixteen Kingdoms period, they braved the turbulent waters, determined to launch a northern expedition, first targeting the Five Barbarian tribes of the Central Plains, and then sweeping away the powerful clans and aristocratic families of the court. Their aim was to pacify the world, create a new era, and ensure the continuation of Chinese civilization. That's true in theory, but in the autumn of the fifth year of Yonghe (349 AD), when the time traveler arrived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and became one of the most common refugees in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the first thing to consider was how to survive the winter and how to avoid falling below the death line. It's another clichéd time-travel story.

On this day, a solar eclipse and earthquake struck Chengdu, ancestral temples collapsed, and the emperor fainted. On this day, Liu Shan awoke in the palace, only to learn that Ma Su was about to be defeated at Jieting. The Shu official said: "The heavens have sent forth omens, and the earth has foretold calamities; these are signs of a great disaster." Liu Shan then entrusted himself with the dream left behind by Liu Bei, and foretelled the impending loss of Jieting. He then imitated Yan Zhenqing's style, writing a letter with tears of blood and sending it to the Prime Minister. The saying goes, "The Han and the traitors cannot coexist; the royal cause cannot be achieved through partial peace!" "If, in the end, the state cannot be restored from peril to safety, and the sun and moon from darkness to light, then the ruler may die for the state!" Thus, the emperor led his elite troops, bearing the banner of the Imperial Guard, and personally led the expedition! "Prime Minister, wait for me!" … … He died before achieving his goal, leaving heroes to weep with sorrow. I've lost count of how many times I've seen the scene of "Autumn wind at Wuzhang Plain, Prime Minister, take care" on social media, yet I still feel a pang of sadness. Eighteen hundred years later, there are still people who want the prime minister to win this time.

The Western Jin Dynasty acquired its rule illegitimately, made too many mistakes, and inherited many of the drawbacks from the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms periods. By the end of the Jin Dynasty, the problems had become too deep-seated to be reversed, and it was urgent to rebuild the empire's values ​​and ruling system.

Having transmigrated to Huai Shuo at the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gao Yu originally only wanted to cling to the powerful King Gao and live the life of a wealthy man with beautiful concubines every night. But considering the erratic behavior of the emperors of the Northern Qi dynasty, and for the sake of their own lives and property... He felt he had to give it his all. This effort could not be stopped. People addressed him in various ways, from "Second Son of the Gao Family," "Gao Lang the Archer," "Peerless Ghost God," "General of the Eastern Wei Heavenly Strategy," "King of Qi," to "Your Majesty the Emperor."

But he insisted on forging a third path! Taking advantage of the devastating earthquake in Huaxian County, he made all the officials in the court witness the "divine retribution" firsthand; Based on later memories, he used the "Memorial on Public Security" to silence Jiajing. Yan Song and his son regarded him as a thorn in their side, but he went to the salt administration black hole under the title of "imperial envoy with a guilty conscience". The salt tax is a bottomless pit, the Japanese pirates' swords are gleaming coldly, and collusion between officials and merchants weaves an iron curtain! Frame-ups, assassinations, and silencing...

Good news! No more taking the imperial examinations! The starting point of this journey is the end point of the imperial examinations. This list is extremely prestigious, with most of the chief ministers and important officials during the Wanli era being Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) from that year. The bad news is that the second year of the Longqing reign was the most intense period of court struggles, and the newly appointed Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) were also involved. What made Su Ze even more frustrated was that, even after transmigrating, he still had to get up at 5 a. M. Every day to attend the morning court session! This is even more miserable than the 996 work schedule! Fortunately, Su Ze obtained a portable imperial court, just like the one in Doraemon's portable parliament. As long as the proposal is put into this machine, it will become a national policy to be implemented! What are we waiting for? Quickly give Su Ze the three-piece set of usurpation rules: "entering the court without bowing, praising without naming, and entering the palace with a sword and shoes"! What?! Insufficient prestige points? Unable to execute? Forget it, let's start by not having to attend the morning court session. Having to attend court at five o'clock every day is just too torturous!

The late Eastern Han Dynasty in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is depicted as a turbulent and dramatic period. It features valiant generals, wise strategists, cunning warlords, benevolent rulers, and alluring beauties—a truly captivating tale. But Guo Peng's view of the late Eastern Han Dynasty was one of coldness. It's not gentle, it's not right, it's not civilized, and it's full of murderous intent. He saw hunger, poverty, war, and plague. He saw bones exposed in the wilderness, and for miles there was not a rooster's crow. He saw the desolate earth and the gray sky. Only the color of blood is vibrant. Therefore, he wanted to become a wolf, a cold-blooded, cunning, despicable, brave, tenacious, and never-give-up wolf. Then, step by step, climb to the top.

Curator note

The Southern Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty held its first provincial examination in the eleventh year of the Hongzhi reign (1494) in the Southern Zhili region. This was the era most admired by the literati of the Ming Dynasty. The prosperous and thriving era concealed undercurrents and crises. Dayan Khan's ambition to unify the grasslands was fully revealed. He attempted to use the fangs of his ancestors to covet the Central Plains. The court was full of self-proclaimed upright officials, yet they advocated rites, music, benevolence, filial piety, and non-interference in governance. Who says that in this era, the imperial examination is the only way for ordinary people to rise to the top? Zhang Zhou, courtesy name Bingkuan, was the most impractical scholar in the Ming Dynasty. He never wanted to follow the crowd in the name of a scholar. He wanted to use his insightful views that transcended the times to lead the Ming Dynasty toward the path of "military aggression" and hegemony in the eyes of scholars. Emperor Xiaozong? Please address him as Emperor Mingwu.
