Great Ming: Father Ordered Me to Guard for Three Days, but I Misheard It as Three Years

Reborn as Zhu Cilang, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty's Chongzhen Emperor, he finds Li Zicheng's million-strong army surrounding the capital. On Zhu Cilang's advice, Chongzhen flees the capital for Nanjing!

As he departs, Chongzhen says, "My son, all you have to do is hold the city for three days! With the situation as it is, even Ying Zheng couldn't hold it for more than three days. Then slip away from the capital and head to Nanjing to inherit the throne!"

Zhu Cilang is under immense pressure, but fortunately, he awakens a Dynasty War System.

Three days later, Chongzhen asks, "Has the Crown Prince returned?"

"Your Majesty, not yet!"

Much later, Nanjing also falls to the rebels. Chongzhen prepares to die with his kingdom, and once again asks, "Three days, then three more days. It's almost been three years, and I'm about to die. Have there still been no word from the Crown Prince?"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is back! He misheard three days as three years!"

"Not only did he hold the city, he also killed Li Zicheng, wiped out the Qing army, and expanded our territory by thousands of miles! The Crown Prince is now marching on Nanjing with a million troops to save the emperor! But he asked..."

Chongzhen is overjoyed. "The Crown Prince is that powerful? I don't have to die? What did he ask?"

"He asked: shouldn't you hand over the throne?"
