After transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty, Su Xian had only wanted to grow up in peace. He never expected to encounter the first bloody case of the Hongwu era himself!
His father was about to be dragged into the case and become one of the victims recorded in the history books, while his own family was on the verge of ruin.
Fine. If death was inevitable either way, he might as well use this chance to speculate on the truth behind the Blank Seal Case and submit his findings to Zhu Yuanzhang!
Everyone thought Zhu Yuanzhang had been unaware of the Blank Seal Case, and that corrupt officials had protected one another and deceived the emperor. They believed that the emperor flew into a rage and drew his sword as a result!
But on this day, a replaced memorial was presented to Zhu Yuanzhang. Its seven characters shocked the entire court:
"The emperor was right to kill!"
From the Blank Seal Case to the Hu Weiyong Case, from salt certificates to commercial taxes, from locally collected and locally remitted taxes to the Single Whip Reform, abolishing vassal kings and pacifying enemies: he brought peace to the realm!
In an instant, the Ming Dynasty was transformed!
Zhu Yuanzhang: Heaven itself has bestowed a qilin son upon us!
Zhu Biao: He must be the great minister who will assist the ruler of the future!
Hu Weiyong: The Ming may have two chancellors, but it has only one powerful chancellor, and that will be me!
Zhu Xiongying: As everyone knows, our Ming Dynasty has no chancellor. Yet one person has reached for the stars and captured the moon for our Ming since he was a boy, lighting up the heavens with countless stars!
The villains: At his best, he can stand alongside the crown prince and change the world. At worst, he can cover the sky with one hand! He's no ordinary chancellor, he's the regent!
The common people: He works behind the scenes and holds the Ming Dynasty in his grasp. He should be called the Hidden Chancellor!
