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 rose before dawn and went to bed late. I never dared slack off.

Tang Xiao: Because you weren't ruthless enough.

Chongzhen falls silent for a night, then writes a single question: "What should I do?"

Tang Xiao: "Become a tyrant."

Execute corrupt officials, confiscate the estates of the nobility, force the court officials into line, and take control of the frontier armies.

The court cries out: "Your Majesty, you mustn't be a tyrant!"

Chongzhen grows more enthusiastic with every move. "Teacher, who should we kill next?"

Tang Xiao opens a history book and unhurriedly reads out the next name...

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