Chapter 1, The Punishment of Despair

Continuing to read on, most of the replies are light-hearted banter. Although it is playful, everyone is a 'good youth' who was born in the new society and grew up under the red flag, and they are indeed speaking their minds. One gentleman even remarked that if he were to become Chongzhen, he would probably do even worse than Chongzhen! This is a stark truth; being an emperor is not an easy task. If one were to bow down, they would likely be exhausted to the point of spitting blood

The main reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty can be broadly summarized as follows: the Ice Age, the major disasters in Shaanxi, the significant upheavals that would follow, the difficulty for the Later Jin to quickly pacify the situation, and several major systemic flaws within the Ming Dynasty at that time.

If you were to bend down to the Chongzhen Emperor of 1628, to what extent could you go, limiting the use of cheats

There are numerous historical alternate novels set in the late Ming Dynasty available online. Many people often cite the internal treasury of Emperor Chongzhen, but this perspective is somewhat naive. Although it is unlikely that there was no money in Chongzhen's treasury, it is absolutely impossible for there to have been a significant amount of silver. Otherwise, the unfortunate Emperor Chongzhen would not have had to continuously impose additional taxes, which the common people referred to as "heavy taxation".

Because history has no "what ifs," it cannot be repeated. After reviewing the materials, I cannot help but sigh; the people sitting in front of their computers are merely indulging in fantasies. This hypothesis is truly tedious, as no one can return to the past

The police could not help but shake their heads, thinking that this was yet another "promising young person" whose life had been claimed by online gaming. Fortunately, this individual was an orphan; otherwise, his parents would surely be heartbroken.

Certainly, some responses are very constructive and feasible. If Chongzhen could see these and act upon them, history might be rewritten. The entire history of the Chinese nation could also be rewritten

Yawning, I turned on the computer and glanced at the seemingly pigsty of a room, too lazy to tidy it up. I went out to wash my face, then sat down in front of the computer. After connecting to the internet, I began browsing and surfing. This is the main routine of my recent life at mhetushu.com.

I did not find any posts recommending good books, but I came across such a unique post title that immediately caught my attention. With the time travel of "The Legend of the Seeking Qin" in the front and the followers' fantasies in the back, how could such a title not make one feel eager and restless

New technologies cannot be invented or created independently, nor can one directly intervene; however, it is possible to introduce European technologies and personnel

After the alarm was raised, the police arrived immediately. Following a preliminary investigation at the scene, it was determined that the incident was an accident caused by improper use of electricity. Further autopsy revealed that the deceased had been extremely fatigued prior to death, with only remnants of instant noodles in the stomach. Additionally, the computer was installed with hundreds of game software, leading to the suspicion that the disruption of daily routines due to internet use and gaming resulted in a state of confusion, ultimately leading to death by electrocution.

I am in my fourth year at a third-rate university and have long given up hope for my future. Even graduates from prestigious universities and those with advanced degrees struggle to find good jobs. For someone like me, a so-called "intellectual," there are plenty of us around. The term "university student," which is often praised, serves merely as a fig leaf for someone like me.

When I read the first reply, I burst out laughing because that fellow answered very candidly. He wanted to take the treasury silver from Chongzhen's inner vault and run away to enjoy life overseas, which is truly quite endearing

It was too late when I sensed something was wrong. As soon as my hand touched the power source, a strong tingling sensation made me want to scream for help, but my mouth was numb. The electric current made me tremble, and my teeth clattered like a drum. I couldn't help but think, if only I had been a bit more diligent and tidied up the room earlier, I wouldn't have been electrocuted. With this regret, my vision darkened, and I lost all awareness.

I browsed the literary review section to see if anyone recommended good books. In recent years, it has not been like before; a few years ago, there were plenty of good books, and I could easily find several that I could read through. Now, with the development of online literature, the amount of trash writing has also increased significantly. Sometimes, the content is so frustrating that it makes one want to jump up in anger. Therefore, finding a book that one considers good and enjoyable is truly akin to panning for gold; the difficulty is quite substantial.

My interest was piqued, and I searched for a great deal of information from the Chongzhen era. I was so engrossed that I lost track of time, but in the end, I felt that I was engaged in an exceedingly tedious activity

I tapped my somewhat dazed head, turning off the device while thinking that if I could truly return to the past, I would live my life well, not allowing it to be wasted. At the very least, I wouldn't live as pitifully as I do now

The corpse was discovered by the landlord's old maid, who came to collect the rent but was nearly scared into incontinence by the sight of the body

After the computer is shut down, I remember to unplug the power supply, as leaving it connected consumes a lot of electricity. My landlord, an old maid, has yelled at me several times to save electricity. This is not entirely my fault; after all, she agreed to include the utility bills in the rent. However, I really cannot stand her lion's roar, akin to a rare skill from the Shaolin Temple, and I have gradually developed the habit of conserving electricity.

When I reached out to unplug the power, my elbow bumped into the cup, and the remaining half cup of water spilled all over the table, flowing everywhere

Rubbing my somewhat sore eyes, I opened the webpage of the Dragon's Sky Forum. I am an enthusiast of online novels, and most of my time online is spent browsing adult websites and reading web novels. As for traditional literature, it is completely unrelated to me, as those words seem utterly unappealing. After reading them, I feel down for a long time. Life is already exhausting enough; why should I make things more uncomfortable for myself?

It is strictly prohibited to use cheats, to invent anything on one's own, and to have prior knowledge of the abilities and loyalty of most mid-level officials and ordinary scholars.

I am an orphan. Sometimes I can't help but think, if my parents were still alive and saw me like this today, they would probably give me a good beating; or they might be so angry that they would jump out of their coffins to give me a proper lesson
