[Transmigrated Cannon Fodder + Multiple Female Leads + Cruelly Abusing the Chosen One + Imperial Guard + Imperial Examination + Officialdom + Eliminating Traitors + Empress]
He transmigrated into the body of Lin Zhi, a cannon fodder young master in a book. Ten years ago, his father went to the countryside to collect rent and took in a little boy who was about to starve to death. Now, the boy has achieved academic success and is suing him in the capital for forcibly stealing his academic achievements. A servant's daughter wants to take him as a fall guy. After becoming pregnant with the boy's child, she even helps him give false testimony, planning to kill Lin Zhi together in the Shuntian Prefecture court.
Fortunately, the literary leader arrived, and he astonished the world with his skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. A mural of "Guanyin Sending a Child" drew worship from believers throughout the city; a poem, "A Laughter in the Vast Sea," amazed the entire capital's literary circles; his chess skills rivaled those of the nation's top players; his unique "slender gold" calligraphy astonished civil and military officials; and his vast knowledge of poetry made others hesitant to compose. Who would believe that such a brilliant and talented young nobleman would steal the mere title of student from his own servant?
In court, his silver tongue sent his page to the guillotine, ensuring his servant's daughter would spend the rest of her life in prison. To protect his family's wealth and maintain his standing, he joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard, becoming the Empress's top henchman. He rose step by step from a lowly officer to a commander, eventually creating the Embroidered Uniform Guard's secret branch and becoming an underground emperor.
He thought he only needed to sharpen his knife and kill people, but the rebellion played a trick on him. He was ordered to investigate the cheating in the imperial examination and participated in the provincial examination. He then passed the provincial examination with the highest score and entered the court. With his strong backing, he was promoted in one fell swoop. He became Minister in two years and Grand Secretary in three years. The Ice Queen said that she only wanted to become the biggest.
Since entering the palace, Yun Li has transformed into a two-faced, hypocritical woman. She's a constant charade. Facing the favored concubine, she'll verbally attack her while feigning grievance, saying, "I envy you for receiving His Majesty's favor." When framed, she'll slap her casually before crying, "Why treat kind people like this?" When the Empress speaks, she nods absentmindedly, "Your Majesty is my guiding light! I will always obey Your Majesty!" But when facing the Emperor himself, she's obedient, adorable, and utterly devoted. "I love you so much! I have no regrets, I only wish to stay by your side, I want nothing more." However, in her heart: "I don't like you, I'm just being sweet-talking."
He opened his eyes to the first year of the Jingkang era, becoming Emperor Qinzong of Song, while the Jin army had already besieged Bianliang.
Sitting on the dragon throne is the retired emperor, an artistic master who cares little for state affairs and only loves romance;
Kneeling before His Highness were a group of prime ministers sharpening their knives, ready to sell out the country for personal gain and wealth;
Outside the city, there were 100,000 Jin cavalrymen who burned, killed, looted, and treated killing as a game.
And I, Zhao Huan, became the unfortunate emperor in history who was about to be packed up and sent to the Five Kingdoms City, where I would suffer humiliation and eventually die far from home.
History records say I was weak, and later generations curse me for being incompetent.
They all say that the humiliation of Jingkang is an indelible mark on our Zhao imperial family.
But this time, history needs to be rewritten!
I do not want to be a useless person who is ridiculed by the world!
My empress and princess do not wish to become playthings to be humiliated at will!
My millions of subjects do not want to become livestock under the swords of foreign invaders!
Since there is nowhere left to retreat, then there is no need to retreat any further!
Kill the treacherous officials, appoint the loyal and virtuous, forge an iron army, lift the sea ban, I will use the blood of the enemy to dye the dragon flag of the Great Song Dynasty red!
Li Gang, Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei... I will make up for your regrets in this life!
I will not only reclaim my land, but also personally lead an expedition to strike at the heart of the enemy!
I want to bind that so-called Jin emperor, Wanyan Wugumai, and bring him to the gates of Bianliang, so that he and his ministers can present the grandest "sheep-leading ceremony" for my Great Song!
The shame of the Jingkang Incident remains unavenged.
When will the hatred of the subjects be extinguished?
Starting with me, let's fight to the death, regardless of the cost!
The Imperial Concubine is favored, the Virtuous Concubine gives birth, the Zhaoyi is the unattainable ideal, and the Beautiful Concubine is the unforgettable beauty. The other concubines each have their own unique skills and characteristics, creating a vibrant and diverse scene. So who is our protagonist? She is the unfavored, childless, and without family background Empress. Wow, this plot feels a little familiar... Whatever, Zhao Wumian is already resigned to her fate on her very first day here. Competing for favor? What a load of rubbish!
It's impossible to depose an empress without a good reason; an emperor must be a wise ruler.
With status and a good salary, you can set up a business right here. What more could you ask for?
As for your talk of family honor, with the men in the family being so useless, do you think I, a weak woman, can shoulder the burden? Whatever.
As for your statement about not having children, we believe that having children and grandchildren is our own blessing, and even without them, I will enjoy my own happiness. Things that the ancients couldn't accept, we can accept.
Suddenly, the emperor realized that his little empress had changed. She no longer offered suggestions, advice, or argued back, and she no longer threw tantrums.
Whatever you say to her, she'll say "okay," "fine," "it's fine," "Your Majesty is right," and "I'll listen to Your Majesty."
The emperor, who had been satisfied, suddenly felt dissatisfied. What's that called? Probably just being a scumbag...
Jiang Nianqing was deceived by the scumbag Gu Yubai and his half-sister Jiang Yunrou, becoming the sharpest knife in their hands. She personally pushed the man who loved her to the bone and gave her everything into an abyss of no return—a cup of poisoned wine ended his life.
Reborn, Jiang Nianqing returns with hatred! In this life, she will repay all the debts she owes tenfold! She will hold the man she hurt so deeply in her arms and use the love and tenderness of the rest of her life to pull him back from the brink of hell.
"Qingqing, what should I do because I feel so insecure?"
Jiang Nianqing looked down at her still-flat stomach, then at the baby in his arms, whose features resembled his. A gentle smile appeared on her lips: "Then my husband will spend the rest of his life learning how to keep me and the children firmly by his side."
After exhausting her health, internet celebrity Jiang Nianchu unexpectedly gained the opportunity to travel through time. With seven days left before the time limit, she went on a shopping spree, hoarding 30 million worth of supplies before traveling to the Great Yu Kingdom, which was in turmoil and suffering from a severe drought.
Because of a marriage contract, Jiang Nianchu married Song Lin, the third son of the Song family. After the marriage, everyone in the village said that the Song family had brought back a patriarch.
She complained that rice bran porridge was too sore to swallow, so I made her a steamed egg custard every day.
The clothes had to be made of fine silk and brocade, costing more than three taels of silver per foot.
She even complained that the pillows at home were uncomfortable and made a fuss about Song Lin buying her a silk pillow.
Aside from her pretty face, she was practically useless, yet the entire Song family always spoiled her.
Jiang Nianchu responded, "It's all because the Song family's luck has been getting better and better since I joined them."
Even on their journey to escape famine, they were blessed with good fortune, finding large gold bars in any random cave they entered.
The entire Song family tacitly agreed that Jiang Nianchu was destined for great fortune, and that treating her well would bring them great luck; they should simply spoil her rotten.
Also known as: "Starting at Tumu Fortress, I, a Centenarian, Steadily Reign in the Court" and "The Ming Dynasty: I Am the Grand Secretary, But the Heavenly Screen Reveals to Zhu Yuanzhang that I Am a Powerful Minister."
Good news: My name is Mu Zhengju. I traveled back to the Ming Dynasty, achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations, served six dynasties, and became the most powerful Grand Secretary of five dynasties and tutor to three emperors.
Bad news: This emperor is a complete idiot who's going to Tumu Fortress to study abroad.
Even worse news: All my crazy moves were broadcast live on Tianmu Live and given to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
…
Mu Zhengju originally thought that his life would be spent engaging in political intrigue, working for the Zhu family to earn good fortune, and enjoying his retirement.
Unfortunately, there are always people forcing him to work overtime.
He wanted to drink tea, but Emperor Zhu Qizhen insisted on going to Tumu Fort to "study abroad".
Mu Zhengju had no choice but to put down his teacup, letting him understand the true meaning of "the authority of a tutor to three emperors."
Mu Zhengju wanted to admire the flowers, but the sky screen was broadcasting live his past deception of Zhu Di in the "Jingnan Campaign".
Mu Zhengju (with a face full of certainty): "Purge the court of corrupt officials, uphold the imperial authority and quell the rebellion, you are Emperor Taizong!"
Zhu Di (his body trembled): "Sir, you are truly a divine being!"
Mu Zhengju wanted to sleep, and his student Yu Qian came over to ask him why he had become cold-blooded.
Mu Zhengju (rolling his eyes): "Kid, if I don't play power games, how am I supposed to protect a hothead like you?"
The officials cried out, "If Lord Mu does not appear, what will become of the common people!"
Oirat student: "Grand Tutor, save me!"
On the other side of the sky, Zhu Yuanzhang watched as Mu Zhengju tricked his son Zhu Di into rebellion, and he trembled with rage.
"You damned Zhu Laosi! You've gone too far! No, first investigate! Tie up this Mu Zhengju and make him our prime minister!"
"If anyone tries to take it from us, we'll fight them!"
Zhu Di: No, it's one thing for a spoiler to pop up in the sky, but Father, isn't it a bit unethical of you to kidnap people from across time and space?!
