I am a Foolish Emperor

Chu Yue became the ruler of a nation and was bound to the “Foolish Emperor System.”

Ding—Please cause the fall of the Great Li Dynasty. Once it is destroyed, the host will be freed from the Foolish Emperor identity and can embark on a happy life at the peak of success.

Chu Yue issued a foolish decree:

“Dig a grand canal, build my imperial mausoleum! Conscripting one hundred thousand people! No pay, no food!”

The officials wept bitterly:

“O foolish emperor! The purple clouds fade in the west, the empire shall fall.”

But one day, one hundred and fifty thousand commoners came of their own accord, bringing pots and grain, insisting on helping dig the canal. Leading them was none other than the current Grand Chancellor Yang.

Never mind, keep seeking death—burn the books and bury the scholars. Accidentally started an early system of reading classifications. Killed loyal ministers, but the “loyal” ones turned out to be traitors. Killed traitors, but the traitors turned out to be double agents, and afterwards even brought tens of thousands of remnants of the previous dynasty over to surrender. Behind it all was that same Grand Chancellor Yang.

Chu Yue gave up in frustration:

“There’s no other way, I’ll just confess everything. In truth, I am a woman.”

The officials:

“Long live the Empress! 【What new stunt is this Foolish Emperor trying to pull now】”

Chu Yue:

“Actually, I think Grand Chancellor Yang, being a woman, is not suitable to serve as head of all officials.”

The officials:

“Your Majesty speaks wisely. 【This little brat must be thinking about Lord Yang】”

Chu Yue:

“What does Grand Chancellor Yang think?”

Grand Chancellor Yang, resigned, bowed properly:

“This humble official has indeed reached the age of marriage. May I ask when Your Majesty intends to bring me into the palace?”

Chu Yue’s face: ?????

She had clearly been working diligently to ruin the dynasty, yet somehow the realm remained prosperous and the people well off.
