Five Dynasties' Chief Minister, Zhu Yuanzhang Said the Ming Dynasty Would Collapse Without Him

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?!
