Late Ming, Chongzhen Era: Whatever, Let Wei Zhongxian Loose to Bite!

He transmigrates into the Chongzhen Emperor, and from the start he's thrown into a late-Ming hellscape! The Manchus are poised to strike, rebel armies are everywhere, the treasury is empty, and the court officials are still tearing each other apart.

While everyone else who transmigrates wants to revive the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian just lies flat: “Whoever wants to carry this mess can do it!”

He dumps the government, memorials, and military payroll on Wei Zhongxian, then hides in the palace to eat roast lamb. The Donglin faction threatens to die in protest? Confiscate their estates to pay the bills. The Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years is driven mad, leading the Eastern Depot on a spree of arresting corrupt officials, raising military funds, and replenishing the treasury.

Zhu Youjian only wanted to eat, drink, and wait for death. Who knew that the more he lay flat, the more stable things got? Wei Zhongxian works himself to the point of vomiting blood, the Donglin faction is finally silenced, and Liaodong's military funds are fully replenished. Somehow, by lying flat, he manages to bring the Ming Dynasty's sinking ship back to life!
