The Ming dynasty is basically a family-run emperor stress test. Zhu Yuanzhang checks every drawer for hidden knives, Zhu Di deals with problems by riding straight at them, Jiajing tries to beat death with Daoist rituals, Wanli invents imperial quiet quitting, Tianqi goes off to do woodwork because wood is easier than ministers, and Chongzhen keeps trying to fix everything while everything catches fire. / 明朝基本就是一个家族经营的皇帝压力测试。朱元璋到处查有没有人藏刀，朱棣遇事就骑马冲过去，嘉靖靠修道炼丹跟死亡硬刚，万历发明皇帝版长期摆烂，天启去做木工，因为木头比大臣好处理，崇祯一直想补救，结果越补火越大。
