The Ming Dynasty's Imperial Tutor: Teaching the Chongzhen Emperor to Become a Tyrant

[Late Ming] [Travel Between Two Worlds] [No System]

Chongzhen: I governed diligently for seventeen years. Why did the Ming still fall?

Tang Xiao: Because you weren't ruthless enough.

Chongzhen: I worked from dawn to dusk and never dared slack off.

Tang Xiao: Because you weren't ruthless enough.

Chongzhen fell silent for a whole night, then sent a single question: "What should I do?"

Tang Xiao: "Become a tyrant."

Execute corrupt officials, confiscate the estates of nobles, pressure the court officials, and take control of the border troops.

The court cried out: "Your Majesty, you must not become a tyrant!"

Chongzhen grew more enthusiastic by the day: "Teacher, who should I kill next?"

Tang Xiao opened a history book and leisurely read out the next name. ...

He had only wanted to pay off five million in debt. But after discovering that the water vat at his home connected to the Ming Dynasty, within just a few years he had not only become the world's richest man, but also the Ming emperor's tutor.
