I Wanted to Be a Lazy Emperor, But Became an Eternal Sage

share time: 2026-01-31 06:05:42

Young Emperor Li Zhao, having seen his diligent father die from overwork on the dragon throne, decides to be a "lazy昏君 (昏君 means a incompetent emperor)": build a luxury imperial garden, push all memorials to ministers, and select the most beautiful concubines to amuse himself. However, his "lazy tricks" are all "misinterpreted" by ministers as wise decisions: the imperial garden becomes an agricultural experimental field with triple yield, ministers' autonomous decision-making revitalizes the government, and even the selected concubine is a daughter of a hermit scholar who straightens out the chaotic finances. The more Li Zhao "slacks off", the clearer the court becomes and the more prosperous the people are. When he realizes it, historians have already listed him as a candidate for "eternal sage emperor". He collapses in front of the dragon chair: "I really just wanted to slack off!"
